Course content

1 section • 13 lectures • 11h 44m total length

Introduction1:35
# 1 Hatha Yoga54:51
The standing sequence consists of three very similar sets. Each set consists of three forward bends and a twist. You can literally feel the repetition working it's magic. On the mat, a different approach to the camel.
#2 Hatha Yoga57:28
A very slow start to the class with seated postures before the surya-namaskar. Specifically so, since the standing postures take off with a focus on back-bends. Closing down with lengthening of the lower back and hip flexor strength to return the spine to neutral.
#3 Dynamic Hatha Yoga1:04:13
A dynamic class with no standing postures after the surya-namaskar. Pay careful attention to the transitions as they keep changing every so often.
#4 Hatha Yoga57:21
The whole class dwells only on hip opening and twists. A very slow approach consisting only of reclining postures is used to get to the target asana in either part.
#5 Hatha Yoga53:31
Again, a slow methodical approach consisting of mainly reclining postures, but this time the session consists only of back-bends and forward bends.
#6 Dynamic Hatha Yoga59:46
Combining the previous two sessions into a dynamic class. Not as strong as our usual dynamic classes but some very obvious progress will be felt.
#7 Hatha Yoga50:32
A focus on back-bends and then gentle forward bends to release, with an emphasis mainly on standing postures.
Caution - We have a standing variation of dhanurasana coming up. Please proceed with extreme caution as there is a chance that you might lose balance while attempting it . Use the help of a spotter , or feel free to avoid that one altogether
#8 Hatha Yoga58:21
A deep dive into lateral postures and hip opening, counter-posed with the twists . Once again, standing postures rule the roost
#9 Dynamic Hatha Yoga1:01:45
A long standing sequence with three variations of every asana. A short focus on back-bends follows . Enjoy the special transition in between asana.
#10 Hatha Yoga1:03:40
This class is all about building strength without going deep or focusing on the stretch too much.
Sounds confusing ?? There is only one way to find out - Do It !
#11 Hatha Yoga58:57
Still focusing on strength, but this time we move a bit more, especially in the initial standing postures.
Once down on the mat, the main focus is back strength.
#12 Dynamic Hatha Yoga1:02:53
With the entire standing sequence moving through surya-namaskar2, this one gets heated up in a hurry.
The target posture in the seated series is Upavista Surya-yantrasana ( The seated sundial posture)

Requirements

Some prior knowledge and practice of Yoga asana is recommended. This course is not for absolute beginners.
Minimal equipment required. all you need is a non-slip Yoga mat and at times props such as Yoga blocks and belts. The use of a wall or chair for support may occasionally be required as well.
The commitment to follow a practice along with the wisdom to do so without strain and excessive effort.

Description

Yoga is practice. Where the effort of consistency matters more than intensity.

If you would like to practice three times or more every week - with a structured plan in mind, gradually improving all areas of mobility in a safe manner, then this one is for you. It contains 12 full-length (about 60 minutes) classes that will keep you engaged and inspired towards your goal of calm, beneficial movement on a regular basis.

This course is designed specifically for those who wish to focus on the physical aspect of Hatha Yoga.

A practice without talk of spirituality included - a calm focused practice can bring on your Zen without having to talk about it .

A practice without background music - I believe the sound of Yoga is silence. And this also give practitioners the freedom to choose music according to their own taste rather than rely on mine.

A practice that focuses on traditional asana(postures) without any contortionism or hyper-flexibility. A good Yoga practice needs to include strength and stability, and be one that does not strain the soft tissues of the body beyond a reasonable level.

I like to call it Hatha Yoga Unplugged - a no-frills practice that makes sense.

Welcome to Yoga For The Month-1

Who this course is for:

Yoga practitioners looking for a moderately strong, regular practice, without any fluff or lectures on spirituality thrown into the mix
Rather than focus on hyper-flexibility, the classes in this course are based upon the premise of healthy mobility and strength.
This practice is the perfect compliment to any other fitness activity or sport and as such would be very well suited for athletes and sportspersons.
