Non Sleep Deep Rest is a term that is now being used to describe the Ancient practice of yoga nidra. Studies done on these mediations reveal that meditation can slow down brain wave frequency, similar to when you're in a deep sleep.
As you enter into the same brain waves in yoga nidra that you would during "slow wave sleep," you are able to experience similar healing and rejuvenating benefits to this phase of sleep. Studies show "a greater percentage of growth hormone is released during this stage. Growth hormone promotes tissue growth and repair and also plays a role in enhancing your mental capacity."

Each stretch is held for 30 seconds; remember to take it easy and breathe deeply and slowly through your nose.

I'll also share a few quick techniques you can use when your in a jam and only have a few seconds to reset.

While maintaining a well rounded yoga practice is vital for our strength and mobility, adding a few key stretches to our routine can dramatically improve our overall flexibility.
I've been experimenting with this in my own practice and have noticed pretty impressive improvements in my flexibility in just a short amount of time.
I challenge you to add quick routine for few weeks!
& Let me know in the comments how it goes.
Out of all of the pranayamas, my teacher loved it the most, and made me learn all of the others first, because she felt that once you learn this one, it's hard to go back to the others.
This builds on what we've learned in the course and makes the flow a bit more challenging by linking poses to challenge your endurance. Take breaks when you need, do what you can, and let go of any judgment.
The breath should be the first thing anyone looks at to improve mobility, range of motion, and overall movement quality.
Addressing the way we breathe can influence and help the body to heal from many disorders and diseases when practiced regularly and with proper guidance.

"If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving..." MLK
When we practice yoga, we should aim to restore movement of any area of the body that has lost its full range of motion.
If a certain pose irritates a part of the body, we should modify the pose so that it doesn't cause pain, and say to ourselves, "It's not that I'll never be able to do this, but just maybe not today".
And don't give up or lose faith if it doesn't come in a day or a week, or a month.
But keep moving, and you'll be amazed at how resilient the body can be.
For example
Some have expressed that a deep squat is too much, or the kneeling position bothers knees etc...
In the method of yoga I studied, we would suggest using a prop to elevate the body into a position that feels more comfortable, and over time, gradually, week by week, slowly lowering the prop and moving toward the full pose.
It would have made better sense for me to post this 'yoga for wrists' class before yesterday's,
but I wanted you to have a general wrist warm up and mobility class for when you are going to be practicing more demanding classes for the wrists.
This is a great warm up for practicing arm balances, handstands, or if you tend to get sore wrists from yoga in general.
Just like the back care and knee classes, I wanted everyone to have this class in their tool belt because wrist mobility becomes key as the demand on the upper body and wrists increases in more advanced classes.
Based on your ability you can practice whichever inversion you're working on, and although I demonstrate handstand with support, you are welcome to hold dolphin or any other inversion that works for your body.
I wanted to give you an example of what our mobility series is leading us toward, and why It's crucial that you develop certain standards in flexibility for 'component parts' of the body before attempting more advanced asana. Let me know how it goes.
Repetition is the mother of skill, and repeating sequences that challenged you in some way is the best way to start to master the practice.

And if you lack a deep squat/full knee flexion.
(If you don't have any room for improvement in these areas, you're welcome to skip this class and do one of the previous classes that you have room to improve with, as sequences in yoga should be repeated until mastered.)

Day 7 Is Breathwork. Rest is just as important as movement for the body. Taking at least 1 day a week to rest from your movement practice is crucial in order for the body to rest, repair and come back stronger. This doesn’t mean you need total rest, you can do some
Active recovery, like a long brisk walk, a jog, or whatever your body is already conditioned for that may not be a strain on the nervous system. This all depends on your current level of athleticism/ physical activity.
I hope you enjoy it. Let me know how it went.
In General, our yoga practice, of warming up and then linking together poses that are held for 30-45 seconds is a great way to improve our health, range of motion, strength and overall movement quality.
But the big gains in flexibility come from the long holds at the end of class.
On my subscription service, the Conscious Movement Community (CMC), I post classes that are 1 hour long in addition to the various courses I have to help improve your practice.
My CMC students all agree that the big gains in their practice have come from following the CMC course (30-45 min classes) after the challenge and eventually working in 1 hour classes which are updated weekly, a few days a week into their routine.
In these 1 hour classes, we have all the time we need to get a full practice with the deep stretches.
But in a 30 min class, there simply isn't enough time to get it all.
That's why I created the Stretch Routine.
At the start of the challenge, I shared on Instagram how I started adding a focused stretch routine to my yoga practice with poses that I struggled with and knew I needed to improve.
Practicing targeted stretches like this (for a long hold of 90 seconds, or doing sets of 30 seconds 3 x) is the best way to increase your flexibility gains.
If your goal is to become more flexible this is the fastest way to do it.
And the good news is you don't need to do it daily. Add the stretches that you struggle with in this routine just 3x a week to the end of your yoga practice.
It should take around 10min.
Studies show that 3x a week will illicit significant gains, and going over that can give you a bit of an edge, but it is not required.
Tim
In today's class, we practice becoming more in tune with the opposing energies in the body.
Through deep concentration (dharna) & meditation (dhyana) on the sushumna nadi (or central channel/sacred midline) we seek to bring them into balance.
And it feels pretty rad too.
This is the most challenging class of the week. Take it at your own pace and modify when needed. Keep going, you got this!
