Description

I noticed other users uploading these sessions, so I figured I’d add to their efforts by uploading the ones they missed. I’ll split them up so I can do the presentation nicely.Udaya and Venice Beach/Yoga Collective have a 12USD monthly subscription that gets access to their video collection, yoga sessions from their instructors and guest instructors. These are high quality HD 720p videos. Maybe we should do a GB sometime and get the whole collection? That would be a LOT of yoga!Keep in mind, every yoga teacher has their own style, they may not all fit yours, just try them out and don’t get discouraged.Caley Alyssa: Eka Pada Koundinyasana (40 Minutes)About the instructor:I practice to stay connected to my body, my mind, my community, and to stay inspired as a teacher. I teach because I hope to provide a space for others to feel the way my practice has made me feel: supported, nutured, challenged, empowered, and confident! Happy people = a happy world. I’m inspired by my dog who loves unconditionally, my students who show up and do their best, every day, my mentors who support and encourage me to be my best, and walk the walk, but most of all, by others who are living their dreams!Source: UdayaShe’s cute, but I say that a lot. She’s done a load of training courses, and it’s noticeable. Yoga teacher training is not so much about the poses, but about anatomy, compensations and physiology. I did get the impression she knows her stuff.About the class:Prepare your body for Eka Pada Koundinyasana 1&2 with a creative and fun sequence to open your hips, hamstrings, and shoulders and strengthen your upper body including the core.Source: UdayaAh, Koundinyasana, or what I’ve lovingly come to call the Faceplant. With one leg stretched straight behind you, you’ll need to lean forward a lot to get your center of gravity near your elbows. Your nose will be in peril. So, to be able to focus on the flexibility rather than your balance, start out practicing the basic Crow/Crane every day, until you can hold it for a few minutes. Knees either against the elbow or even up on the arm if you can. Then you can work towards the Hurdler/Albatross/very-long-name-dedicating-itself-to-Koundinya-II.Nonetheless, it was a fun session I will definitely repeat.In case you guys haven’t realized it yet, I’ve actually been doing 3+ hours of yoga a day so I can give you a bit of a review. It hurts… everywhere.Level: Intermediate/AdvancedVideo: x264-Main@L4; 1280*720 (16:9); 1521 Kbps; 23.976 fpsAudio: AAC-LC; 160 Kbps; 2 Ch; 48.0 Khz
