I struggle with downward dog exactly like you say here Alexia, thank you so much I will definitely try all of your tips here. I appreciate you so much!! Take care of yourself , you are looking great.
First thank you for some great tips! 2nd Congrats on your baby bump!! I hadn't tuned in in a while and thought 'oh she looks so lovely' and then I saw your tummy! Love it!
I’ve been doing yoga every day for the past 3 months in an attempt to work on my mental health. As a student yoga classes can be too expensive for me, so I follow certain yogis online. This was really insightful on how to get the poses right. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your helpful videos. i get so much from your videos. best things are you give more than one way to adjust and accommodate what is needing to be done along w alternatives for props. AND i can hear you the entire time you are speaking. very valuable. thank you!!!
Thank you Alexia! I’m wondering if you are going to open an initiation course anytime soon? I am already on the mail list but decided to ask here anyway. Best regards✨
@@ThisYogaLife-ak I’m so happy to see your bump grow while doing yoga. The gift of life🤍 And yes I was referring to that one ashtanga for beginners. I have done a Vinyasa Krama TT before also various vipasanas retreats… for some reason one day I wake up interested in ashtanga… anyway if everything aligns would love to participate. Meanwhile I’ll be working with all your ashtanga videos 💎
Thank you so much. I'm less than a month beginner. I have fallen in love with the practice/way of being/consciousness of Yoga. Just found your channel and enjoying your 'how to do it' videos. Where in Scotland are you based. Im up north. 🙏
That's interesting.. If you feel pain then I would recommend either doing cobra or any version that feels right for you. I wouldn't think core strength would affect pain in upward facing dog. Do you experience lower back pain in any other posture?
The version that she said was bad for your back is often used in apple fitness plus it’s called high cobra or at least that what they refer to it by. Go at your pace and use mods when necessary to help you in your flow.
A strong upper back and strong arms do a lot of the work as well as the pulling in of the lower abdomen. If you’d like to train lower abdomen with yoga, then while moving into Downward dog (the other one, haha), really focus in moving up with the lower belly. You’ll feel it for sure.

Very soon! And thank you for asking :-) The pregnancy pushed all my projects back quite a bit. Are you referring to the Ashtanga for beginners course?

I actually feel more pain in my lower back doing upward facing dog the right way. Guess I need to build more core strength?

The laugh comes off as a bit condescending.
