Build to Natarajasana

((Pre-Intro

---

It's been a while!

These past couple months have been filled with some business planning, soul-searching, deciding where I want to go as a yoga teacher & even a nice, long vacation with my family <3.

Now, I am back & ready to bring my teaching online! Here is what you'll be seeing from me in the next few months:

•Hosting my very first Instagram Challenge with my friend @Victoria_Rose_Yoga

•New Yoga Class Videos Online

•Website Revamp - To help better navigate my online yoga classes

•More Tutorials & How-To Posts - like this one!))

How-To posts are a great way to learn how to actually get into certain yoga poses, but what happens when your body isn't completely warmed up to the demands of that pose?

Natarajasana

or Lord of the Dance Pose is undeniably a demanding pose. Here is what's going on with your body in this pose:

Open & Stretching

Shoulders/Chest

Hamstrings

Hip Flexors/Psoas

Front Body/Abdomen

Strengthening

Legs - Quads & Hamstrings

Chest

->->->----> All while fiercely testing your balance!

Unless you have an incredible backbending practice already, you can imagine how a "How-To" picture may not bee 100% helpful!

What will be helpful is knowing where to begin. Here are a handful of poses that will prepare every single part of your body for this pose.

Add these poses to your yoga practice & you will notice a graceful flexibility that you may not have noticed before --- and so soon!

(I encourage practicing these poses 3-6 times a week for optimum results in flexibility ;))

Another step closer to your own #BlissShineBalance

Dance On!
