Journey Into Yoga
Come on a journey…into yoga, where we explore and demystify yoga and its many postures. Beginning with a clear and concise explanation of the pose du jour, the show then guides you through a different posture each week. If you have 10 minutes you have enough time for this user friendly auditory practice. If you have always been curious about this thing called yoga, join us for a low time commitment yet high return show - the only thing you have to lose is stress. The show is hosted by Avery Rich, an Advanced Certified yoga instructor who received her certification from the Yoga Centre Winnipeg. A former lawyer, Avery continues to help people problem solve, only now her methods are on the yoga mat. Teaching into her second decade, Avery resides in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Artwork: Asher Rich

Single leg lifts are a great and effective way to bring awareness attention and strength to the low belly space. When we work with these lifts, it is important to pay attention to your low back and if the work is bringing irritation to this part of the body.

Today I guide listeners through a yoga session focused on strengthening the lower abdominal muscles, or “low abs.” I explain the importance of targeting different core muscle groups for overall stability, mobility, and spinal health, noting that most previous work has focused on the upper abdominals and obliques. The session begins with participants lying on their backs, knees bent, and hands positioned for comfort. Avery ...
As we work into the deep muscles of the core, we will add in a twist for good measure to our work today. The twist will allow us to not only strengthen these muscle groups but also to cleanse and detox the internal body as we go.

This deep shoulder opener sometimes is enlightening, in that it can really bring to light shoulder tension that may be happening in the body. Using the strap is helpful as it allows you to adjust where you are in the pose.

Our journey has included using props in our practice and today we will change that prop to a strap. Using a strap to help open the shoulders can be an effective way to go a bit deeper into this often very tight part of the body.

Core work is always energizing and invigorating, even though it doesn’t always feel like it in the moment. Core work is a component of total body wellness as it can prevent injury and pain.

Today we will continue on with yoga strength training, and this time we will work into the chest area with a block supported chest press.

Our work today is going to be fun I promise, and at the same time, it will challenge the body in a way that I don't think we have done before!

Balancing eagle pose, although not a pose that has a block as a component, will still benefit from recreating that leg engagement….but I am jumping ahead…

Adding the block to the mix in tadasana requires us to engage the muscles of the legs in a slightly different way…a way that perhaps encourages tone into the thighs, knees and pelvis.

Today, we are going to explore Downward facing Dog with a bonus prop to engage the thigh muscles and core! This is a fun one in that there a few different things to pay attention to that we don’t necessarily have to think about when not using the block.

Today's episode will include using a block between the thighs for a deeper engagement of muscles while we work through cats and cows. Adjusting these poses slightly will help to deepen and perhaps even change how the pose feels.

Working with a yoga block to build strength and deepen our connection to the core, I’ll guide you through supported curl-ups and show you how engaging the thighs around the block activates the muscles from your pelvis all the way to your navel. Whether you have a foam block, a towel, or a folded blanket, you’ll be able to join in and feel the difference this simple prop can make. Let’s breathe, move, and build strength—tog...
Turning today to a part of the body that can be a hot bed for many of us - the calves. A very common complaint, tight calves can happen for a multitude of reasons, which will look at today.

We have touched on the quads in past episodes, but today we are going to a bit deeper. When we work with releases into the quads, it’s important to be kind to yourself and not move into the area of being in pain.

Our work in today's episode will be to attempt to release the glute muscles using a tennis ball - this work can be deep so it is important to breathe and soften into the tennis ball.

As we continue releasing tension from the body from top to bottom, today we will be working on the area at the bottom of the ribcage. An interesting spot, which may have some or a lot of tension.

The area we will be working on today is the upper shoulder area, an often tight part of many of our bodies.

Today we will be working through a passive practice or a receiving practice, meaning you will be more in a receptive role to the feed back the tennis balls are giving to you - it should feel like a massage if done correctly, or a release, so we will make sure the positioning of the tennis balls is correct so that this can happen.
