Honey Flow: Heard-Forward Hanuman

Aired -

Kevin Bigger

e-ryt 500 yoga teacher and teacher trainer based in brooklyn, ny.  i started practicing yoga up in boston in my late teens, immediately after a period of massive (less than healthy) weight loss, and just before...
(suggested props: two blocks, 2 blankets, a bolster/pillow, a massage ball or a pair of socks, and a sandbag (if you have one, totally fine if you don’t)

This practice takes a very yin approach to hanumanasana (full splits) wherein we try to soften into this very deep posture with a lot of grace, and with support from our props and our breath. We move and breathe slowly, and the split leg action is of course optional at the end of class.

(Int) The most delicious (and stealthily challenging) of Kula classes. A one hour serving of sticky, sweaty Kula Flow, lathered with 20 minutes of yin yoga (deep, intense stretching) and a 15 minute restorative asana topping. YUM. We know that no one needs a little deep chill out more than NYC yogis, but most of us are too type A to take a true restorative class. So – this is the Kula solution. As one student put it: "You kick our ass for an hour and then kiss it for another 30 minutes.” (Sanskrit translation please)?
