I’m switching things up a bit this week, with a new addition to my minimal cues yoga classes on YouTube.

As a yoga teacher myself, I love to look to other teachers for inspiration to keep my personal practice fresh. If you are an advanced practitioner you may feel similarly, in just wanting the poses laid out for you, but not need alignment cues.

Hold each one for about 3 breaths, unless stated otherwise.
