Yoga Danda awareness is introduced in this Yoga With Adriene episode! Yoga fundamentals! Applications of the yoga practice! Grow your practice and improve your posture by expanding awareness of the spinal column in your yoga postures and in the every day. Use your breath to support your exploration. This video is excellent for beginners but also valuable to anyone with a desire to deepen their yoga practice. Practice. Apply. ENJOY!
Side note: didn't get to staff pose or half moon in this edit of the video. Check out the foundational video for those poses below to apply this danda awareness to these asana or poses.
Life happened and I fell off of the yoga train soon after I jumped on, but I'm so glad I came across you & your videos. You are living proof that yoga and humor can coincide. I'm looking forward to browsing your old posts and videos!
Hello Adriene! I am getting my parents into yoga!! They are in their early and mid sixties. Do you have a nice, gentle, first time yoga practice that would be good for them?
Thanks,
Shelley
Hi Shelley. My husband and I (60 and 67) just finished Adriene's 30 day challenge, and it was fabulous. Lots of things we couldn't do - especially first time - but Adriene is so good at putting you at ease and having you find what feels good that it was not intimidating. Of course - my crow has a broken wing, and my half moon is definitely obscured by clouds, but slowly,slowly - it will come. Yoga has become part of our daily lives now!
Thanks Adriene,
Bev
ps - I WILL master that darn crow one day!
I am so enjoying yoga thanks to you Adriene. and attempting to do this daily, it is helping me with low back pain and a very stiff sacro iliac joint. Also helps with reducing stress after a long day at work. Liz in Andover, Hampshire UK
Hello Ms. Adriene
This video is super helpful for my spine, I work standing up at a coffee shop 7-8 hours a day. Is there anything specific (video or pose) that you can suggest I do daily? I think you're great,Thank you!
Thank you Adriene
In the past I was a big yoga fanatic & very proficient at most yoga poses. All that changed in 2009 when I started to get very sick. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Epstein Barr, arthritis & migraines in 2012.
Roll forward now to 2019 & though not better or cured I feel a little more in control of things, but my body does not. I so, so want to get back into yoga, but of course my body is so out of condition. I have tried a couple of classes & just found them way too much.......So I am so grateful that a friend has directed me to you so that I can take my time & go at my own pace in the safety of my own home. I have just completed your video for a Healthy Posture for a 2nd time; And though I am finding it hard I am able to do it. So it is a start.........Thank you:))
After many years of working at a desk/computer, I have developed very poor posture and resulting back stress/pain. Can you recommend a practice or video that would speak to correction and development of good posture? I am recently retired and now have time, I've done yoga in the past and have recently completed the 30 day HOME program. But I haven't done yoga regularly for some time.
