Many of you here are advanced practitioners or even yoga teachers yourself. You don’t want to listen to someone talk the whole time, you already know the cues. But, you want a fresh flow to keep things from getting stale on the mat and falling in to your same old routine.
For that I bring you another one of my minimal cues yoga classes. The following simply outlines the poses used in this 35 minute practice. No bells, no whistles, no alignment cues.
This is an intermediate practice when it comes to poses, but it is more advanced in needing to know the proper alignment all on your own.
The full flow on YouTube walks you through with simply the names of the poses. If you do want the visual cues you can head over there.
Take this list to practice anywhere you go.
