Demos For Alignment Tips, Techniques, and Tricks

 

Downward Facing Dog to High Lunge

A few tips to make the transition from Down Dog to High Lunge with more ease.

 

Side Plank – Vasisthasana

Avoid wrist discomfort, shoulder aches, and learn how to use your legs and fire your core to make side plank fun!
 

Strengthen Your Wrists Exercise

Use squid hands and pincer fingers to tone the muscles around your wrist and create space between the bones in the heel of your hands. Ultimately to create space for the nerves and tendons there. 

This strengthening will help prevent you from collapsing your weight into the heel of your hand and enable you to flex your hand in weight bearing poses and root the mound of your index finger down with more ease!
