  • This is a 40 minute Breathe and Flow vinyasa yoga class to build real upper body strength. In this yoga class for all levels you begin with a breathing exercise called nadi shodhana to settle in, arrive and get ready. Flo is guiding you through a 35 minute vinyasa flow class based on functional movement and modern sequencing. This class includes quite a few spider lunges (skandasana) and wild thing. You will challenge your one arm balance in two legged dogs, awkward plank and one leg plank. This is a full body class leaving you energizingly fatigued, calm and focused. This class also builds shoulder strength through dolphin pose variations! The best yoga class to start your day right. All you need is your mat, perhaps a block and the will power to stay with the breath. Let's do it!

    It's been a year since I first did this one, and today I can finally admit that the forearm plank IS a resting pose.
    One breath at a time.
    Thank you for this opportunity to build strenght!

  • @themoon761
    @themoon761 3 роки тому +50

    I had to stop several times and I still couldn't do some of the poses but still, it feels so freaking awesome right now! I cannot wait for the day when I can do this without having to pause.

    Listening to your little speech about pushing through challenging stuff during the 2nd dolphin pose of the practice...
    Me 3 months ago : "F@#$%$%$%#$%?KKKKK when is he gonna stop talking ????!!!!"
    Me now : Eyes closed, slow breath, smile on my face, literally reciting every single one of your words in my head as if it was the chorus of my favorite song

    • @Marizolde

  • @CORI177
    @CORI177 3 роки тому +4

    Thank you. I found the beginning pose (one leg dog with holding leg) to be too difficult without some easier poses first, so I paused and did my own mini-warmup, then I was mostly able to complete. I did have trouble with the transitioning to side plank but I will practice. I did my first wild thing today, Id never heard it explained so clearly before, and It made my day to do it! Your verbal cues are on point also. Namaste.

    i struggled so much with a lot of the balance poses since you did a lot of poses with a vinyasa ive never done in the close to two years of yoga ive been doing. i loved every painful, hard second though. Just showed me that my body is also in tune of how ive been feeling with life and that is: i need more balance. To also push my self and my practice more. Thank you!

    @brianmartin7784 3 роки тому +2

    I did Embark, Ignite, and now I'm here! I've practiced Vipassana meditation almost daily for a year and a half now, but always had trouble being mindful during intense physical activity. You and Bre's classes have helped so much with that. I fell during warrior 3 and dolphin pose, but instead of being negative towards myself and being upset, I just laughed and had fun! Plus, my back has never felt better. I spent years in the Marines and was huge on weight lifting for a while, but always had terrible back pain every day. Now, it's barely even there. Thank you both so much for putting out this free content!
