Check out this hour-long vinyasa-style yoga class with a focus on the movement known as the bear. 🧸
The bear is a form of quadrupedal locomotion, or walking on hands and feet, where we keep our bodies in a down-dog shape as we move about.
In addition to being super fun, the bear is a great way to increase shoulder strength, improve thoracic mobility, stretch the back of the legs, and develop power in the deep core, all of which can lead to greater stability on and off the mat. We’re going to go through four variations of the bear with a little time to play and explore the variations on your own.
Most of this class will feel like a regular yoga class with familiar postures and an emphasis on breathing and moment-to-moment attention to your ongoing experience. We will wrap up at the end with a few rounds of kapalabhati for pranayama followed by an open awareness exercise for meditation. 🧘♂️
You won’t need any props, but if you like blocks or a strap to use in your practice, feel free to grab those now and meet me on the mat, and as always, go at your own pace, take breaks when needed, and please remember to favor the quality of your movement and breath over trying keep up or forcing yourself into anything. 🐻 💪 ❤️ 🕉 🙏
