Vinyasa Short: Folds/Backbends/Twists

Here’s an idea you can build on…plan your class with three types of poses in mind: forward folds, backbends and twists. Folds, backbends and twists are complimentary—your body will begin to crave them as you move through class. Basically you’ll follow the pattern Rupali suggests in this Vinyasa Short on Folds/Backbends/Twists. She shows three repetitions […]

Check out “My Journey with the Five Tibetan Rites“ here.] But what if you or a student aren’t able to do the full five tibetan rites? Modify, modify, modify!!! Typically we […]

Asana tip sheet #39 – Vasisthasana variation

September 20, 2016 By Tania Ingrahm Leave a Comment

Tania in vasisthasana variation

Vasisthasana in its full expression is a strong side plank pose fired up with lots of internal power. Gratefully, it lends itself nicely to modification for a variety of student levels and abilities. (We cover full vasisthasana in this earlier post.) This variation of vasisthasana is a more-forgiving level of this pose…but there are easier […]

A ‘Vinyasa Short’ back-strengthening sequence for variety

May 10, 2016 By Tania Ingrahm Leave a Comment

Back strengthening sequence

We focus on back strengthening in this Vinyasa Short, but at first glance it may fool you. Even though back strengthening is the main focus, this sequence includes a wide range of movements: twisting, forward folding and of course, awareness and strength of the entire core. What this means is that the whole trunk gets […]

Tania and RupaliWhat people are saying about Tania and Rupali...

"I want to let you know how much I appreciate your tip sheet of Salabhasana. This pose (and its variations) is exactly what I am focusing on in my class where many business people suffer from back and neck pains, and some from sciatica. I made a program for their home practices and so far it works for them. Your Salabhasana tip sheet endorsed what I have tried, and it encouraged me a lot. Thank you so much!!" ~ Takae
