THE YOGA WHITEBOARD: talking about our feet! One of the special things about yoga asana practice is that it is a whole movement system we do barefoot! - THINK about that...what other movement systems are done barefoot? (Some modern dance & pilates, gymnastics...) Most movement/exercise is done with the feet confined in shoes! . . . . . . . Moving with naked feet creates an opportunity to build connection to the way our feet move, (or identify a lack of movement), to strengthen the foot muscles & to give sensory input to all those nerves. The feet have an amazingly complex structure that we can start to appreciate with barefoot movement. - - - - - - - When we really take time to think about the feet there a ton of little movements that we can integrate into the practice to show these hard working guys a little extra love 💙...stay tuned for that! .  .  .  .  .  .  .  #freeyourfeet #theyogawhiteboard #yogaboard #beayogateacher #neverstoplearning .  .  .  .  .  .  #lauragoellneryoga #lauragyoga #yoga #yogavideo #yogateacher #yogatherapist #yogatherapy #yogisofig #igyogis #yogini #yogi #yogatherapy #yogagirl #igyoga #yogisofinstagram #hummingbirdyoganj #therapeuticyoga (at Hummingbird Yoga NJ) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByFcjFHntGI/?igshid=9fwljy3g0rk9

Day 7 of #SneakyStrengthYoga From @jenni_rawlings . . . Arm balances are super challenging for me due to a few shoulder & wrist injuries. I put a wedge under my mat so my wrists dont go into full extension with weight bearing. I really liked the modified version lifting one leg at a time- sepecially when lifting up HIGH on the toes of the supporting foot. 💥 i added in a few Down Dog hops because my shoulders like that angle better but i still feel it in my legs & a jump switch in lunge just for fun 😁 Day 1: @lizette_pompa Day 2: @arianayoga Day 3: @trinaaltman Day 4: @francescacervero Day 5: @kathrynbruniyoung Day 6: @jenn_pilotti Day 7: @jenni_rawlings Day 8: @samanthaliftsyouup Day 9: @laurelbeversdorf Day 10: @yogadetour . . . #yoga #yogachallenge #igyoga #lauragyoga #modernyoga #lauragoellneryoga #lauragyoga #yoga #yogavideo #yogateacher #yogatherapist #yogatherapy #yogisofig #igyogis #yogini #yogi #yogatherapy #yogagirl #igyoga #yogisofinstagram #hummingbirdyoganj #therapeuticyoga (at Hummingbird Yoga NJ) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw748TAlF7T/?igshid=5omye59xuq3e

Ive been setting up the room differently for the past few months in Yoga Focus- with everyone's mat at the wall- sometimes we use the wall & sometimes we dont, but I have really been enjoying this set up and I like offering the WALL as a regular prop in yoga, not just for special sequences! .. ⭕🔴🔴🔴🔴⭕ ⭕🔴🔴🔴🔴⭕ .  .  .  .  .  .  @yoga_at_the_wall #wallyoga #yogaatthewall #lauragoellneryoga #lauragyoga #yoga #yogavideo #yogateacher #yogatherapist #yogatherapy #yogisofig #igyogis #yogini #yogi #yogatherapy #yogagirl #igyoga #yogisofinstagram #wallyoga #yogaatthewall #hummingbirdyoganj #therapeuticyoga (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0MNj6En1kD/?igshid=x5q6snrs70l4

The BOOK order came in so it was time...✂ ✂ ✂ ✂ ✂ ✂ I grow my hair out & cut it every 3-4 years - I time it with some sort of big life change. Last time was 3.5 years ago when we signed the contract to have the Tiny House built. That was about the time when I started working on "Yoga Therapy At The Wall" so i thought this was a good time to cut & donate my hair again 💇 . it feels good to have short hair again!! 🔴🔴🔴🔴 ..

Kick BACK & SIDE kick sequence at the WALL: ⭕🔴🔴🔴🔴⭕ This is a movement that is unique to WALL yoga 😁 and is very effective at building stability & awareness around the pelvic girdle. Starting with the foot pushing BACK into the wall will target Glute Maximus, then as you turn and press the SIDE of the leg into the wall it will target the ABDUCtors: glute med & minimus. Try it...give your glutes some 💙...you will feel them 😄 ⭕🔴🔴🔴🔴⭕ . This sequence can also help build stability in single foot balance poses! .. ..

WALL SALUTATION A: I really like this option for students with wrist or shoulder injuries that need some time off from weight bearing on the upper body...but still want to get some flowing movement in. My favorite part is the supported backbend with the front body resting on the wall 😁 .. Go find a wall and play around- there are so many variations on this! ..

SEATED WALL Sequence: I often use this toward the beginning of class to get in touch with the movement of the shoulder blades, the shoulder joint, the ribcage & the upper back.

CORE STABILITY at the WALL: pressing the fingers into the WALL gives a constant reminder to stabilize the ribcage- especially to control the lower ribs from jutting forward & the lower back over arching ( maintaining a "closed scissor" position of ribcage & pelvis) ✂ .. Keep the ribcage stable and explore movements with the legs and arms, but keep checking those front ribs ( engage the obliques) ! ..

An ordinary flat WALL is something we all have access to, but is often overlooked as a prop. 👉The WALL has incredible versatility- far beyond handstands & inversions. 🙌 It has the ability to make physically challenging poses more accessible, to deepen the restorative effect of supported postures, and it ads a whole new dimension of challenge by opening up new directions of movement. .. The WALL is a place where we can play with our relationship to gravity! .  .  .  .  .  .  Digital Download of "Yoga Therapy At The Wall" comes out FRIDAY June 21st 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 @yoga_at_the_wall #wallyoga #yogaatthewall #lauragoellneryoga #lauragyoga #yoga #yogavideo #yogateacher #yogatherapist #yogatherapy #yogisofig #igyogis #yogini #yogi #yogatherapy #yogagirl #igyoga #yogisofinstagram #hummingbirdyoganj #therapeuticyoga (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/By2c12LHxMS/?igshid=1kbgrucpc1owb
