Fjäll Yoga

If you are familiar with my previous sequence in Space M Yoga® this will be a mash up from sections in Class 1, Class 2, Class 6 and some new stuff. This is a fun way of exploring movement in many different relationship with gravity.

The main idea in is following💡

  • Standing movement ⇅

  • Transition to the ground (1/2 kneeling & 1/2 squat)

  • Change between a seated/supine movement with an inversion of your choice (head stand, forearm balance or hand stand). Explore different ways of enter and exit your inversion.

  • Rise up from the ground and you are ready to repeat everything on the other side (change leading leg) or continue with something else. You decide your own journey. 🔮

Consider numbers of reps and isometric holds that are relevant for you. The video is a quick overview. Normally I repeat each section many times.

7. From kneeling to inversion in parallell legs

8. Spread in abduction, turn the legs sideways and slide legs into cow face (crossed)

9. Transition to seated cow face with lateral flexion and rotation series and continue to kneeling (keeping the crossed legs) with camel pose in flexion/extension and with a rotational/lateral flexion variation

10. Lift the arms in shoulder flexion and lean forward to the inversion section

11. Pull down one leg in flexion and transition to 1/2 kneeling & 1/2 squat and rise up to standing.
