Toning & Weight Loss Support Playlist

Toning & Weight Loss Support Playlist

These practices help to strengthen & tone your body and support a weight loss regimen.

Many of you asked for Toning and Weight Loss videos, especially with quarantines and lockdowns in play.

And here we are! I will be adding more videos to this playlist, so check back often.

Some of these practices are Inversion Free but not all. If you are an Inversion Free practitioner make sure you see the words “Inversion Free” either on the image or in the description.

Be Well. Remember to Breathe. ????????Namaste my friends????????

A NOTE ON “YOGA for WEIGHT LOSS”: Practicing yoga alone is not a weight loss remedy. When used in combination with healthy habits off the mat it can be a great help. Especially to lower stress levels and find a deeper connection with yourself; physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. You can indeed get your heart rate up with some practices, you can sweat, strengthen, tone, detox, and burn calories.
To be quite honest, I don’t love using this term, but it’s a VERY high ranking SEO term; meaning people search it A LOT. I’m using it to direct more people to become aware of their mind body connection while working into a healthier lifestyle. ????

How to Open Stiff Shoulders – Inversion Free

How to Open Stiff Shoulders – Inversion Free

Welcome to this shoulder opening practice addressing arm positions found in Warrior 1, Downward Facing Dog, Cow Face, and Eagle by working on Flexibility in the chest, armpits, and shoulders.

Want Music? Try this Spotify playlist: https://bit.ly/StiffShoulders

Stretches for the armpits, triceps, chest, front of the shoulders, and in between the shoulder blades are targeted to help open those tight, stiff shoulders. All done with the wall and a yoga strap to stay Inversion Free.

Helpful Prop: a yoga strap or object that resembles it.

This area of the body happens to be where the heart chakra and throat chakra reside. So if you’re feeling indifferent or less creative, resistant or unresponsive these chakras will benefit from a shift in energy.

Opening the shoulders and chest is exactly what they need for you to feel more receptive, to tap into your creative juices, and allow for more compassion in your day.

Good for everyone. Especially if you have tight shoulders. ????

Enjoy! Be well.
Remember to breathe.
