15-Minute Standing Flow for Upper Body and Wrist Opening
Join me for this invigorating under-15-minute yoga flow designed to open your upper body and wrists while utilizing the wall as your supportive ally. This quick practice is perfect for anyone looking to release tension, improve flexibility, and enhance overall well-being. 🌟
Class Highlights:
Extended Puppy or Modified Down Dog at the Wall: Begin by facing the wall, placing your hands shoulder-width apart, and walking your feet back into an extended puppy pose or modified down dog. Feel the stretch in your spine and shoulders as you gently melt your chest towards the wall. This pose promotes lengthening and opens up the upper back. 🐶
Arm Extended Twist: Transition into a standing position, extending one arm up and turning your torso towards the wall. This twist not only opens the chest but also engages your core, enhancing balance and stability. Breathe deeply as you rotate, allowing the gentle twist to release any tension in your back and shoulders. 🌬️
Broken Wing Twist: Move into the Broken Wing pose by placing one arm at a 90-degree angle against the wall, resembling cactus arms. As you turn away from the wall, savor the delicious stretch in your chest and shoulders. This pose helps relieve tension and encourages a sense of openness. 🦋
Wrist Stretch at the Wall: Finish the flow with a wrist stretch at the wall. Position your hands against the wall, fingers pointing down, and gently lean forward. This stretch alleviates tension in the wrists and forearms, making it a great addition for anyone who spends time typing or using their hands. 🤲
Who This Class Is For: This flow is suitable for all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners. It's especially beneficial for those who experience tightness in the upper body or spend long hours at a desk.
Why Practice This Flow?: By integrating these standing poses into your routine, you'll cultivate greater flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and enhance your overall sense of well-being. The wall provides a supportive structure, allowing you to explore these openings safely and effectively.
Roll out your mat, find a wall, and let’s get started! 🌈
