Anyone who practices Anusara yoga will soon become familiar with some of its principals. Outer spiral is one of them and no, it does not mean twirling around on your front porch. It means using the pull of your calf muscles to help with stability. You can apply the outer spiral principal in Anusara yoga with the following tips.
Do Yoga Balancing Cat Poses
Yoga balancing cat posture may at first seem like a simple pose, but it takes a bit of core strength to control the posture and to hold you balance. While most balancing postures are done from a standing position, this posture done on the floor can challenge your balance in a different way. The instructions below will illustrate a basic version as well as a more advanced version as you balance and strength improve.
Sew Low Rise Fold Yoga Pants
Comfortable yoga pants are a great way to practice sewing knits. Whether you wear them to work out or just lounge about, easy-to-wear and flattering low-rise yoga pants are an ideal addition to any woman's wardrobe. Make your lounge wear even easier to wear by replacing the traditional elastic waist with a flattering wide fold over band. Before you know it, you will have a pair of pants that look like they came from an expensive store in the mall for a reasonable price and in just a few hours.
do the Neck Release Pose in Yoga
Neck release is an important beginner yoga pose and is often used at the beginning and end of a routine to help you warm up and cool down. A lot of tension is carried in the neck and upper back, which will cause injury, headaches and can inhibit the success of your other poses. The neck release is a simple pose that will keep your neck tension free.
Knit Yoga Mat Straps
If you don't have the money--or desire--to purchase a swanky storebought yoga mat bag or set of straps, why not create your own? If you can cast on, bind off and do the knit stitch, you can complete this project in one evening. For a different look, you could do the same project in stockinette stitch, or adapt the pattern to use with a crochet stitch.
