Yoga for the Stiffer Body. Set 3, Pose 4. Parsvottanasana. Iyengar Yoga for Beginners.
Pasvottanasana is a standing forward bend which presents a number of challenges to the yoga student with the stiffer body,. The demands are not just in the legs, but also in the shoulders and upper back,. Here we practice Parsvottanasana to the chair, initially taking the hands to the back of the chair to open the chest and armpits. In the classic pose, the hands are in Paschima Namaskarasana, Reverse Prayer Position. But in this yoga tutorial for stiffer students, we provide more height This is a great pose to stretch hamstrings, calves, shoulders and stiff upper back.
Lin and Leo teach yoga students of all ages and sizes and they know that not everyone can work in the classic yoga poses. If you are a senior, have arthritic joints, or if your body is tight due to sport or tension, even basic yoga asanas can be a challenge. We show in this series, how to develop flexibility gradually and safely.
Lin and Leo wrote their book “Yoga for the Stiffer Body - Inspirational Yoga Sequences Made Accessible for Real People” largely for their existing students, but were pleased at it’s popularity when it went on sale as an Ebook on Amazon. In the classes we teach at the Maidstone Yoga Centre, it is apparent how our modern lifestyle creates tension and rigidity in the body, the breath and mind. In this series, Lin and Leo, who teach Iyengar Yoga to both Beginners and more Advanced students, all of whom have varying levels of flexibility, will show you in this series how to work in simple, beginners yoga poses to make your stiff body more mobile and fluid in it's action.
