NEW VIDEO on my channel today!
15 Min Hip Release Yoga Stretch | Lying Down Hip & Lower Body Stretches
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsB6D...
This is a 15-minute hip release yoga stretch where we do all lying down hip and lower body stretches. We take our hip joint through the different movements (extension, flexion, adduction, abduction, internal and external rotation) and in the process stretch the muscles of the lower body (glutes, hip flexors, hamstrings, inner and outer thighs.) This is a good short practice to do to relieve stiffness and tension in the hips and lower body.

Enjoy your practice!

Happy Friday! NEW VIDEO on my channel today:
30 Min Intermediate Power Vinyasa Flow Yoga | Full Body Yoga Practice
https://youtu.be/JC8i6Y14Ul0
This is a full body yoga practice I recommend for intermediate yoga students who are already familiar with most yoga poses and who are comfortable practicing in the vinyasa style. We do a standing sequence focused on strength (planks, core planks, pushups) with some balance work. Then we do a seated sequence with lingering stretches for recovery and relaxation. There is a few minutes of Savasana before we close the practice together.
I rarely do Power yoga classes anymore since my shoulder injury. This was challenging for me! Hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you are trying this out.
With gratitude,
MARIS

NEW VIDEO TODAY: 30 Min Vinyasa Flow for Strength & Flexibility | Intermediate Full Body Yoga
This is a 30-minute intermediate full body vinyasa flow yoga class for strength and flexibility. I recommend this for intermediate and strong beginner yogis because there is minimal instruction in some of the common yoga poses. We move and stretch the whole body for better strength, flexibility, and balance. We start in standing in Mountain pose and end with a few minutes of Savasana before we close the practice together. No music.
This was one of the first vinyasa flow videos I filmed after (mostly) recovering from my shoulder injury. Let me know about your experience in the comments. Enjoy your practice!

I'm excited to share my NEW 7-DAY BEDTIME YOGA CHALLENGE (15 Mins a Day) with you!
This series will help you destress from your day and prepare you for a good night's rest. All classes are 15 minutes so it's easy to fit in at the end of a long day.
In each class, we practice mindful breathing and gentle movement to relax the body and calm the mind. This is a wonderful way to reflect on the day and let go of what no longer serves you.
You can start the challenge anytime. Watch my 1-minute video and sign up for FREE!
Enjoy your practice, yogis!
With gratitude,
Maris
