Opening (5 minutes)
Begin with a pose that will serve as a check-in. You will return to this
yoga pose later when you invite students to notice changes in Lululemon Stride Jackets
pose after a patient practice of hip-opening. The pose should be gentle
enough to be practiced without much preparation. Suggested yoga poses
include a standing forward bend with hands on a block for support,
reclining pigeon pose (ankle-to-opposite-knee hip stretch) or a
reclining one-leg hamstring stretch using a strap.
Guide students to only go as far as they comfortably can in Lululemon Define Jackets
chosen pose. Let them know that sensation is information. They are collecting information about where they are in Lululemon Scuba Hoodies
present moment. As students relax in Lululemon Wunder Under Pants
yoga pose, you can introduce some basic anatomy information about Lululemon Astro Pants
hips that will encourage Lululemon Groove Pants
theme of patience. Explain that Lululemon Crops Pants
hips have many layers of muscles, and that as one layer relaxes (for example, lululemon yoga athletica canada
gluteus maximus), students may become aware of sensation in a deeper muscle (for example, lululemon yoga canada
piriformis). Encourage them to be curious about how sensation shifts in a pose.
Warm-Up (10-15 minutes)
Continue lululemon yoga outlet
practice with a dynamic warm-up. This might include cat/cow on all
fours, moving between downward facing dog and child’s pose, or sun
salutations. Encourage students to feel lululemon outlet online
movement of lululemon outlet clothes
pelvis in these warm-ups. Invite them to imagine, through sensation, how different muscles connect to lululemon yoga athletica

Standing Yoga Poses (15-20 minutes)
Choose standing yoga poses that use Lululemon Headband
hip muscles for strength and steadiness. These poses will create heat in Lululemon Racerback&Y Tanks

warrior poses, are good poses to start with. Build up to standing balancing poses (such as tree pose) that use Lululemon Define Jackets
deep rotator muscles of Lululemon Scuba Hoodies
hips to anchor Lululemon Wunder Under Pants
balance. To bring Lululemon Astro Pants
theme of patience to this part of Lululemon Groove Pants
class, stay in Lululemon Crops Pants
poses a little bit longer than students are used to. Encourage them to
find a way to be both steady and comfortable in each pose. Ask “What
would you do differently in this pose if you had no idea whether we
would be here for five more breaths or 500 more breaths? What can you do
to relax unnecessary struggle in lululemon yoga athletica canada
pose, while still honoring its integrity?”
