This is a 45 minute Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement somatic exploration that will inform the yoga pose, urdhva dhanurasana, or full wheel. This is an example of a more traditional Feldenkrais® lesson. Please approach this class with ease, You will repeat the directions slowly. This is different from yoga, where you may arrive in an asana and stay there. Instead we are moving in and out of the shapes, and never pushing. If you have never done a Feldenkrais® lesson, I suggest you read these guidelines for practicing Awareness Through Movement.

This is a 60-minute Classic Flow. Simply put, this class is a moving pranayama practice. We link breath and movement, breathing and moving continuously for most of the practice. The goal of the class is to cultivate an evenness of breath while minimizing setup instructions and unnecessary talking. Have you ever been in a yoga class where you are sucking wind the whole time due to the whirlwind pace of the practice? Well, yep, so have I. This kind of class is missing out on the biggest element of yoga – an even, steady BREATH. While we lengthen many parts of the body during asana practice, lengthening the breath is the most important element of any Vinyasa Flow (cue my breath-centric soap-box). To breathe evenly, continuously, steadily is to remain centered. As we practice on our mat, we develop the ability to take this breath with us into challenging situations off the mat that leave us holding in exhales, stifling our power, and feeling off-kilter. Can you keep an even and steady breath at the very bottom of Chaturanga Dandasana? Or is it your pattern to rush through it to minimize the challenge? There is no fast-forwarding through the difficult parts of life, but we can certainly strive to meet them from a centered, steady place. This practice focuses on back-bending and hip extension. Eventually we arrive at Wheel Pose, then keep on going to a juicy wind-down and rest in Savasana. Sun Salutations A take a progressive flow approach to classic lunging salutations. Sun Salutations B flow continuously and focus on the inseam and back line of the legs. Expect to lengthen the side seams of the torso with twists and to strengthen them with side planks. This is an all-around kind of practice. You would be hard-pressed to call it over-cued. You may find yourself fully aware of your breath as you go on about your day afterwards. You may find yourself being fully aware of the present moment. And isn’t that the heart of yoga? Enjoy!
Upward Bow or Wheel Pose is an intermediate backbend that tones and strengthens the entire back of the body. An entire class can be sequenced around this one Pose! The Sanskrit name for this pose, "Urdhva Dhanurasana" (OORD-vuh DAHN-yoor-AHS-uh-nuh), comes from three words: * "Urdhva" — meaning "upward" * "Dhanu" — meaning "bow" * "Asana" — meaning "pose" NAMASTE! This new series will breakdown some of the most popular yoga poses you will see in most yoga sequences. Learning to do the individual pose correctly as well as how to modify the pose for your body or create more challenges for those who are more advanced will make your yoga practice more fun allowing you to experience the true benefits of yoga and most importantly prevent injury at the same time. Listen to the yoga pose breakdown and follow along.

Urdva Danurasana, Full Wheel, is an uplifting pose that teaches us about ‘Right Action’. This pose propels us to cultivate an attitude towards fearlessness, grace and joy. It is the culmination of backbends of a variety of asanas we do in yoga. It stretches the chest and core musculature as it strengths and stabilizes the sacrum, arms, shoulders and wrists. The pose that offers on an energy boost, ignites all 7 chakras and is therapeutic for asthma. Enjoy the practice! This is a live excerpt of a recording during a yoga enrichment teacher training lecture for a group of yogis studying to be teachers with Jes Rosenberg.
On this special bonus episode, Jason and I answer your questions that came up during the summer series. Thanks, as always, for sending in your questions. It helps us plan episodes! We talk about why the cue to keep the feet parallel in Wheel Pose came about (and is it really necessary?), I offer some help for hurting knees, ideas for strengthening the "pull muscles," and Locust Pose alternatives during pregnancy.
