The final pranayama of the Hot 26&2 sequence is Kapalbhati in Vajrasana. It’s great for digestion, strengthening abs, mind/body connection, mental clarity and energy! It takes practice to isolate the work to the abdominal wall pressing in quickly to force the air out. Relax your throat and chest and try to keep your upper body still while the belly snaps in. Your inhale will happen automatically as the abdomen relaxes in between snaps of the belly inward. 60 times for each set. After this, it’s time for your final Savasana! You did it! 😮‍💨🫠🤤😌 Thanks for following along during our Pose of the Week posts! And thank you to all our wonderful practitioners who were willing to demonstrate! 😘 So… what would you like to see next? 🤓 Common pose questions answered? Vinyasa or Pilates? The 8 limbs of Yoga?

🥨 This close to the end of class, our brains and bodies are tired which makes the cueing (SO many rights and lefts 😵‍💫) to come into the spine twisting pose sound super confusing at first! Never fear, after a few times, it will come more naturally! A few helpful bits to have in mind as you twist: keep both hips down (careful that you’re not lifting one hip off the floor), use the muscles of your torso to lift your spine UP (not just in the set-up, but throughout the pose), bring your chin in/back of head back to stack your cervical vertebrae, and keep your eyes and chin parallel to the floor as you turn your head and gaze. Ring it all out! You’re almost to your final Savasana!!! 😅 Thanks, Rita!

There’s nothing like the Hot 26&2! Come challenge yourself to do something new. It’s a beginner friendly practice because you can take each pose only as far as your body is ready for today. With time and consistency, the challenge grows with your practice so there’s always something to work toward. Ready? Join us for a $5 Intro Class tonight, Oct 23rd at 6:00pm! As always, any questions are welcome below. We look forward to meeting you!

And that’s a totally valid reason to come to class! After the movement, muscle engagement, the active stretching, balancing, and the deep mental focus, it’s so good to lay down on your mat and just soften, to bring your awareness only to your breath and the relaxation of your body. Savasana is an important part of your practice and it’s ok if that’s your favorite part 😉 alex carpenter | comedian

Near the end of the Hot 26&2 sequence is one last opportunity to stretch the entire back side of the legs AND stretch the spine. Bend your knees as you grab your big toes. Scoochiescooch your hips back a bunch of times while keeping your heels forward. Lengthen your spine. If your legs cannot yet straighten without rounding your spine, bend your knees, straighten your spine, and be patient as you work to straighten your legs. Continue walking hips back, heels forward. Once legs are straight, contract your thigh muscles tight (heels might lift off floor) and then pull your spine forward. Tailbone up, low ribs forward, pull chest to feet, push elbows forward. With legs straight and spine straight, eventually torso touches legs, then pull your head to your feet. Avoid rounding your spine: S-T-R-E-T-C-H and L-E-N-G-T-H-E-N. As always, do what you can well until you can do more! Thanks, Lindsey, for sharing your Stretching Pose!
