Here's a mild asana series, which is suited for the middle of a class. What is an All Fours Asana Sequence? For those who practice yoga, some sought-after goals include feeling relaxed and healing spiritually, mentally, and physically. While there are many aspects of yoga that can make this happen, one of the best is a all fours asana sequence. A series of movements designed to let a person focus on the relationship between breathing and movement, the all fours asana sequence always results in peace and harmony.

yoga roots and asana

yoga roots and asana

I’ve been thinking about my yoga roots lately, and came across this video of variations on the twelve basic asanas sequence through the Sivananda school of yoga. It looks like this was filmed at the ashram in Grass Valley, California.

Some of these variations are very advanced. I’m inspired!

Om shanti, shanti om.

HIP OPENING YIN SEQUENCE

This is a good sequence for people who carry tension in their hips. If you are a woman who has painful periods, try this sequence when you are not menstruating. Doing hip openers in the weeks before your period arrives can prevent menstrual cramps caused by tight muscles around the pelvis. 

Easy pose - lie back, bend your knees with your feet planted as wide as your mat. Let your knees rest on each other Reclining butterfly (supta baddha konasana) Sphinx Dragon - low lunge Supta padangustasana - reclining hand to big toe pose Happy baby (ananda balasana) Pigeon (eka pada kapotasana) Supine twist Legs up the wall (viparita karani) Savasana +PRANAYAMA: Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) Simhasana (Lion's breath)
