This video explains why those with autoimmune illnesses are stuck in "fight or flight" mode, where they are unable to heal, and how to reset the body's default mode back to a natural state of "rest and digest" where the body can heal, by using simple techniques to tone the vagus nerve.
Addresses Hip Flexion, Hip Extension, Shoulder Opening and Back Extension; includes squared hip poses of Crescent Lunge, Modified Crescent Lunge, Standing Splits, followed by Dancer Pose; complementary floorwork consists of Reclined Supported Virasana with an option to deepen, then Bridge Pose, Reclined Twists with sandbags, closing with Savasana in Restorative Child's Pose.
By watching the videos in this section, you'll be learning to place basic standing Open Hip Postures in a Linear Sequence from both the top of the mat and the back of the mat. The videos will be working either from the top of the mat or the back of the mat to share the concept we are currently working on. As an additional resource, your Module 2 handout includes a comprehensive series of written mini sequences that contain multiple versions of this concept, allowing you to carry them to your mat to work with and practice at your own pace. These written mini sequences also provide a powerful source to use later to create full classes.
Note: There are more written sequences than videos so that you have a larger and more permanent resource from which to create your own classes.
