Congratulations Avery! Nominated by Canadians for Outstanding Health & Fitness Series.
Come on a journey…into yoga, where we explore and demystify yoga and its many postures. Beginning with a clear and concise explanation of the pose du jour, the show then guides you through a different posture each week. If you have 10 minutes you have enough time for this user friendly auditory practice. If you have always been curious about this thing called yoga, join us for a low time commitment yet high return show - the only thing you have to lose is stress. The show is hosted by Avery Rich, an Advanced Certified yoga instructor who received her certification from the Yoga Centre Winnipeg. A former lawyer, Avery continues to help people problem solve, only now her methods are on the yoga mat. Teaching into her second decade, Avery resides in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
So as we move into our work today, focus on the breath and exhale into the tennis balls allowing the muscles to release.
Using tennis balls as props to help release tension is a very effective way to release unnecessary tension in various muscle groups in the body.
Thunderbolt or vajrasana stretches strengthens and lengthens the feet.
When we toe sit, our feet are encouraged to stretch and our toes are encouraged to find space.
Today we are going to work with an actions that is one of my personal favourites - ball rolling under the feet!
Our “foot” action today is one that can almost be done anywhere and there really is no specific position you have to be in to do it - all you need is for your feet to be free.
