This 90 min. astanga yoga class primarily focused on the 2nd series. Which means lots of backbends. However, it’s not as intense as it may sound. Of course you can always take a pose as far as you want to, but in this class Wade points out the modifications for the poses so it makes it easy to stop where you are comfortable, or progress and find your limit.  Along with all the backbends, there are the opposite poses-forward bends (in this case lots of vinyasas) to keep things balanced–so don’t skip them. And pace yourself, there is series of 7 headstands twds the end. Enjoy.

The focus of this 90 min. yoga class is stretching the hips/pelvis area, hamstrings and lower back. a lot of us in class have been getting out on our bikes (mtn and road) and this class was just what we all needed to work out the kinks, regain some flexibility and realize how much all those muscles around the hips/pelvis are working to keep us going!

Wade starts class with nice, flowing Sun Salutations that incorporate more hamstring stretching that usual with that “intense one leg stretch” throughout. And for good reason, as we continue to stretch the hamstrings through the entire class.  There is also a focus on “core” with some interesting strength and challenging balancing poses. Wade mentioned to me that he pulled some poses from the Secondary Series. Of course there is twisting, shoulder, wrists and pretty much every other part of the body in there too, but I’d say hamstrings and core strength are the focus. Enjoy.

This vinyasa style yoga class starts out slowly by holding the poses in the Sun Salutations A and progressively gets more difficult as you work through Sun Salutation B. Wade reminds you to focus on the breathing and tune out distractions….holding those first couple of poses helps with that, and creates heat.
After the warm up you go through a series of poses that seem to focus on the hamstrings and opening up the heart (chest). You’ll do poses such as: the Warrior series, prayer twist, side arm balance, spinal balance, triangle, airplane, cobbler pose, that wood stacking hip opening pose, plow, shoulder stand….to name a few….so pretty much an overall yoga workout with a little focus on opening up the heart (Wade reminds you to focus on that area of the chest and shoulders in many of the poses). A great way to end the year or to start a new one. Happy New Year!

In this vinyasa style yoga class you’ll work your entire body thru poses and challenge yourself mentally with the proper breathing. There seems to me to be a concentration on the core muscles and lots of twists, side bends and forward and back bends.  It’s a great class for anyone interested in yoga from beginners to advanced.

Wade puts together another fantastic class. He starts class out with a long wrist and shoulder warm up, and it's for a good reason. You'll be in that position with your wrists at 90 degrees for a big portion of this class with poses like the usual Sun Salutations (push ups and Up Dog), Crow pose, many balancing/strength poses that I don't remember the names of. Your shoulders will also get a good workout. There are several unique balancing poses in this class that might be new and challenging to you.
Of course you'll still work the other areas of your body like the hamstrings and front of the thighs and there are some twists and side bending poses too. So an overall body class with good flow and a big emphasis on the wrist and shoulders.
The beginning of this recording is a good one to keep for a warm up before any yoga class or other exercise, especially if you have trouble with your wrists/shoulders.

I liked the consistency and flow of this class. For example, we did poses like Airplane, Half Moon and Twisted Half Moon, and then later on we did One legged forward bend, Triangle and Twisted Triangle….I hadn’t really thought about how similar, yet how different those poses were. Wade set up a nice little series of poses that worked well together. We did some lower back work, and of course lots of hamstring stretching. Towards the end of class we did Plow and Shoulder Stand and some relaxing twists. Remember your breath. Enjoy!
