Learn to Properly Hold Your Spine in Space and Maintain Good Posture On and Off the Mat, in Video #6 in the Yoga Asana Series!

Video #6

This week we dive deeper into how to hold our spine in space and stack our weight as we move through space. Using Adho Mukha Shvanasana or Downward Facing Dog, and Chaturanga Dandasana or Low Plank Posture as case studies, we will explore these concepts in the 3D.  Low Plank position is a fundamental functional movement of Sun Salutation A, B and all seated vinyasas!  After today’s video, you’ll have a better understanding of how to use your yoga practice to teach your body to have and maintain good posture, on and off the yoga mat.

 

Tutorial

Today’s video is one of the true tutorial videos in our Yoga Asana Series, so I recommend you watch the video all the way through the first time you watch it, so you can fully absorb the lecture portion of the video. Then, you can play it again and practice along with the concepts of movement, muscle activation, breathing techniques, etc.

Time Stamps are provided in the description box of the YouTube Video for ease of reference when reviewing the material from today’s video.


Olotita’s Youtube Channel

We post videos each week to build upon the topics from the week before.  If you’d like to start at the beginning with video #1, scroll down to see the full list of Videos in the series, beginning with our foundations video #1.  Then work your way through each following video to begin learning the foundations of a Yoga practice you can learn and do at home, or while traveling; and all at your own pace.

All the video tutorials and classes on youtube are 100% free.  It is a way for me to share my passion for this practice, help others learn tools for self-regulation, health and happiness, and it is a true joy for me. All of Olotita’s tutorial videos are here to help you go a little deeper in your understanding of the body mechanics of the movements, and your own body in space.

If you are brand new to yoga, you are at the right place!  And if you have an established practice, I will be sure to share a few tips that help you take your practice to the next level.
