Thank you for joining me! I am so excited you are here!
In today's practice we are going to move slowly and purposely as we learn some of the most common Power Flow moves. Please listen to your body, and honour where it is at today.
I call my Power yoga practice Flow. Flow helps create strength, flexibility, and mobility in our bodies, but we need to honour our limitations so we can stay injury free in our practice.
Tips to remember from today's practice:
-When in planks, keep shoulders stacked over wrists, and press floor away with hands to activate muscles around shoulder joint, to keep from dumping into the joint which can lead to an injury in the shoulder joint or rotator cuff
-When in lunges, keep knees stacked over ankles and press three corners of feet into floor to activate feet, shins, and muscles of the thigh to avoid strain in knee joint
-When in backbends, tuck tailbone, lift up front hip points, scoop low belly to lengthen spine to help make the backbend feel better and less pinchy in low back.
-When in backbend, press into floor, squeeze shoulder blades down and back, open collarbones
-When in pike, if too difficult to lift 1 leg into pike split, try placing standing leg knee on floor to ease pressure on arms

Power Flow Final Step PLUS Cardio
For lesson 3, I kept the flow sequence like a traditional Power Flow class.
However, for fun, for this bonus class, I have added cardio bursts to that sequence if you would like to take it up a notch for a sweaty flow session.
Enjoy! Let me know what you think!
