There are many yoga videos on YouTube --most of them I'm just not that impressed with, but occasionally I find one that's interesting or inspiring in some way.
Here's a video of Iyengar yoga teachers, Linda DiCarlo and Claude Goldstein, demonstrating a number of poses during their December 2010 holiday party at Linda's studio, Iyengar Yoga Source, in Rhode Island.
They start with Surya Namaskar (sun salutations), then do standing poses, some floor poses, back extensions (back bending poses) and inversions (upside down poses).
How many of these poses are familiar to you? Have you done them in class? If you've been taking my classes for awhile, you'll recognize most of the poses they demonstrate.
The sequence is interesting! Here's a challenge for those of you who have a home yoga practice: try some of the segments that are shown in this video!
I was especially intrigued with moving from Utthita hasta padangusthasana (standing balance pose, hand holding big toe of lifted, outstretched leg), to Urdhva prasarita ekapadasana (standing forward bend with one leg lifted up), to Parsvottanasana ( intense side stretch pose -- one leg forward, one leg back, forward bending over forward leg).
How about you? Does this video inspire you to try something a little different in your home yoga practice?
