Look Hot Yoga (Legs II) – Episode 6/6
In TrainerTV’s final episode of Get Hot Yoga, we learn more advanced techniques and poses such as a Gentle Spinal Twist, Knees To Chest, Leg Extension, Leg Spread and Rollbacks. Center yourself and begin.
Episode 6 Step-By-Step
1. Namaste: For the final Namaste of the series, return to basics and focus on your breathing. Take notice of every breath: in and out. Center yourself and arrive at a perfect peace…
2. Knees to Chest: You may remember this position from a previous episode. If so, that’s great, if not, use this as an opportunity to refresh your muscles. Notice how Eleanora brings her knees tight into her chest – while remembering to use her core.
3. Gentle Spinal Twist: Hopefully this is one of the positions you remember from a previous episode. This position relieves pressure on your spine and stretches out your back muscles. Remember though: turn your head away from your legs.
4. Leg Extension: Your hamstrings should be warmed up from the Knees to Chest, so use the Leg Extension to put them to work! This is another great opportunity to use a band or a tie if you just don’t think you’re up to using your hand yet. Comfort is key…
5. Legs Spread With Knee to Chest: This is the most advanced pose that we’ve seen yet – if you don’t think you’re up to it then use this time to center yourself before moving on. If you attempt it – be careful not to overextend. Taking a few moments to stretch before this pose is advised. If you do accomplish this pose – take a quiet moment for success and congratulate yourself on your improvement in flexibility.
6. Rollbacks: Having just tested your flexibility, the RollBacks are here to get your blood circulating and loosen up any muscles left that may be afflicted with tension. When you feel yourself come to a state of relaxation – proceed into our final Namaste…
7. Namaste: For our final Namaste, reflect on your progress as a student of Yoga. Take pride in your accomplishment and build up determination in any areas of weakness. Honor yourself and your instructor. Namaste…
