YOGA DOWEL

This week we have been working with the Yoga Dowel!

This 6 ft pole is amazing to help work a little stronger, with more awareness, not only so you don’t hit fellow students but also by helping build deeper proprioception (awareness of your body in space).

Here we are rotating our truck (doing a twist), however the connection of the heel of your hand to the pole allows greater awareness and movement of the shoulder blades to facilitate greater rotation.
Grounding out buttocks to the wall helps lengthen our spine and provide awareness of imbalance in our own body.

⭐️ work stronger
⭐️ work smarter

The Yoga Dowel is an incredible tool for all postures, including inversions.

This week we have focusing on our standings and seated postures.

Here we highlight some forward bends with twists.

The 6ft pole allows for deeper connection in particular the connection to the shoulder blades ans opening of our chest.

This in turn creates deeper grounding of the buttock bones, resulting in greater spinal extension.

Forward bending and twist becomes stronger and easier with The Dowel.

Try it and let me know how it goes!

PROP of the WEEK!

This week we’re using the Yoga Chair (a weighted chair that allows us to move safely on and off!)

All props are just tools for proprioception.
Of course there are times when the chair can act as scaffold to allows us to perform movement when we need a crutch to help us.
•
The reasons could be injury, aging, hyper mobility to name just a few BUT ultimately we make new neutral connections sending signals from brain to body (and vice versa) to connect……..proprioception 💗

The video shows how the chair can ENHANCE awareness and movement in the body.

Any questions just drop a comment or DM

CLASSICAL RESTORATIVE yoga uses props and postures carefully to RESTORE your NERVOUS SYSTEM.

You are not just lying about under blankets on cushions/bolsters. Instead you are carefully instructed into positions that will work with your body’s physiology to trigger your vagus nerve to trigger a state of calm, lowering your heart rate and blood pressure…… of course it’s more complex but incredibly powerful.

Veronica (senior YAP instructor) will educate you on how your body responds de and why as she believe knowledge is power.

will do the same using various sound frequencies.

The combination is powerful.

There are just a few spaces left for our joint workshop on Sun 25th Jan at 3-5pm.

This is what children’s yoga is all about - connection, confidence & community.

Here is one of my recent graduates teaching from the heart, surrounded by children hanging on to every word.

Moments like this remind me why we do what we do. ✨

At Little Greene Yoga, our instructors are trained to the highest standards.

They earn their qualification only after successfully passing both a practical and a written exam - because supporting children’s physical, emotional & mental development is one of the most important responsibilities anyone can take on.

Our courses are intentionally different.

For too long, many trainings taught children the way they teach adults -using postures that are unsafe for growing bodies, or packing 50 trainees into a room where no one ever actually gets to teach, let alone work with children.

At LGY, we keep our numbers small.
You learn the postures first, then join us LIVE to learn how to teach - lesson planning, class control, safe sequencing, child development & of course, guided practice teaching.

We build your confidence step by step, preparing you to deliver a full children’s class for your final exam.

Because when teachers feel confident, supported, and inspired… they pass that forward.......And the children flourish. 💛
