Yoga: Start Practicing with these 3 Profound Poses

My friend Cheryl asked for the 'impossible':  3 poses (and only 3) to get started with yoga...

I get it though, she is a NY Times best-seller author, a fully booked coach, as well as an international public speaker, not to mention she writes, every, single, day... So ... yeah, I get it, she only has a few minutes.

And so, after much thinking I came up with this short sequence which, even though is less than 10 minutes long, contains huge benefits for the body, mind and spirit.

I am grateful to Cheryl for the question and quite happy that she liked it.

Ever since she shared it on Twitter the video has gotten 700+ views which is a cause for rejoice on my part, as I hope many more people catch the same bug of stretching and breathing and getting into this yoga thing.

For those of you in the New York area remember that I am teaching five more classes exploring the primary series of Ashtanga Yoga at Sky Baby Yoga in Cold Spring NY.  These are the dates:

Saturday,  October 4, 2013   -      9:15 Am - 10:30 AM
Saturday,  October 11, 2014 -      9:15 Am - 10:30 AM
Saturday,  October 18, 2014 -      9:15 Am - 10:30 AM
Saturday,  October 25, 2014 -      9:15 Am - 10:30 AM

I am also facilitating a weekend retreat of yoga including asana, pranayama, and kryas at Kripalu in November.

P.S.: My favorite book by Cheryl Richardson (who asked for the video) is The Art Of Extreme Self-Care because I realize I need to take time to do things that nurture me if I am ever to be able to give.

You can't  give what you don't have, so here is to YOU, hoping you take advantage of the short sequence and enjoy some yoga.
