SUNITA IYENGAR's ladies class: pranayama week at RIMYI. . The asana sequence was to prepare the diaphragm for pranayama. They were practiced with the diaphragmatic band fully open - no hardening forward of the lumbar - reaching all frontiers. . HALASANA was practiced with the spine resting back on the hands. This allowed the pressure to come off the lungs, to help quieten the mind. . Adho mukha svanasana Uttanasana Parsarita paddottanasana Adho mukha vrksasana Sirsasana Janu sirsasana Paschimottamasana Halasana (like urdhva paschimottanasana) Sarvangasana Pranayama savasana - UJJAYI Seated swastikasana - VILOMA Savasana - no supports #iyengaryoga #nzyoga #pranayama #yogaprops #rimyi @yogaartsnz

GEETA IYENGAR: Halasana. The question was: When do you practice the pose with the spine upright and when with the buttocks towards the feet? . Spine to the ceiling is a beginners way to start... learning to lift the spine equally and keep the sitting bones up. Walking the feet further away is more advanced and can compress the side waist in its convex form. parsva halasana, karnipidasana, supta konasana comes effortlessly off this variation. Same action is required in kurmasana, bakasana, malasana, eka pada sirsasana. . SEQUENCE: Adho Mukha virasana Adho mukha svanasana Uttanasana Parsarita paddottanasana Sirsasana Parsva sirsasana Parivrttaikapada sirsasana (rocking forward and back - sea-saw) Virasana in sirsasana - spine arcing back . Trikonasana walking hands along the floor thru parsva Hasta padasana to change sides. Walking around again to parivrtta trikonasana. Walking around again to parivrtta parsvakonasana . Seated twist: High support for the buttocks. Leaning forward to twist Lift off the buttocks to twist deeper in asanas like marichyasana III. . Halasana . #rimyi #geetaiyengar #halasana #iyengaryoga #nzyoga #internationalyogaday
