The Thang: The rained washed out our ruck/walking laps in between yoga so today was just all about yoga. We started with a Warrior Vinyasa (flow) beginning with warrior I, into warrior II and then reverse warrior (virabhidrasana). Then we moved into chair pose with variations such as lifting our heels to help with balance and twisting (utkatasana, utkatasana parivrtti). We came down to the mat for downdog leg lift crunches, lifting a leg straight back and then bringing the knee to the chest in a crunch (adho mukha svanasana). Then we moved into child's pose for a few breaths to rest and then into a downward dog vinyasa. We start in downward facing dog (adho mukha svansana), move into a plank position (chaturanga dandasana), into a side plank (vasisthasana). We did this a few times on one side and then rested for a few breaths in child's pose before moving on to the other side.
We added to our downward dog vinyasa by adding a push-up in between to move from side to side. We started in downward facing dog (adho mukha svansana), into a plank position (chaturanga dandasana), into a side plank (vasisthasana), into a push-up, into the other side plank (vasisthasana, into a plank position (chaturanga dandasana, back into downward facing dog (adho mukha svansana). We repeated this vinyasa (flow) several times.
We moved into a forward bend with our legs out into a V. Then we bent our knees, still in a sitting position and, alternated lifting our feet, working our quadriceps. We moved into frog pose (makrasana), pushing back slightly and adding lower leg lifts to help with hip clicking and popping. We did some 90/90 switches (aka butt creepers) adding back leg lifts. From here, we laid supine on our backs and did straight leg twists, some were alternating, some just on one side. Then we hugged our knees into our chest and exhaled over into a larger twist. We came up into a side lunge position; gate pose (parighasana), exhaled over into a side bend, inhaled back up, exhaled into a forward bend, inhaled back up and then exhaled into a kneeling lunge thread-the-needle. We repeated this several times on both sides.
We ended with a kneeling vinyasa (flow) starting sitting on our heels, exhaling down into child's pose (balasana), inhaling into a table position, exhaling into downward facing dog (adho mukha svansana), inhaling into a table position, exhaling into child's pose, inhaling back up to sitting. Lastly, we laid in corpse pose (savasana) for a few minutes. We enjoyed the rain as we practiced yoga, enjoyed each other's company, and had many laughs throughout our workout. Thank you ladies!
