Series Summary

The word "yoga" comes from the Sanskrit root “yuj” meaning "to bind, or join." Yoga is centrally the practice of union, whether you are joining the mind to the body, the human to the divine, or the individual to the infinite. The various styles of yoga that have made it to the West all share a common core: positioning the body into a particular posture while focusing mind and breath leads to physical and spiritual well-being. These arts of positioning the body have been passed on for thousands of years, and encompass one of the oldest cultural traditions known to exist. To practice yoga, then, is also to join with the ancient sages, drawing human history up into yourself and connecting with the past. In this free yoga sequence video series, yoga instructor Cathie Ryder teaches you supine poses for beginners. Cathie leads you through balasana, or child's pose, and into a sequence of reclining poses to relax the body. You will learn many variations of supta padangusthasana, including supta padangusthasana I, II and III. Cathie covers supta bada konasana and variations of half jathara parivartanasana as well. The sequence is designed to relax the body and works well just before bed.
