Build Heat & A Deep Sense of Ease

Vinyasa Flow | By Dice Iida-Klein on Aug 08 2012
This class is an extended version of a 30min class that I did a while back. We flow to get the heat moving through the body, then we hold a variety postures for 1 minute, sometimes a little bit longer. By holding postures longer, we calm the chatter in the mind and leave room for space and clarity in the body. Expect a deep sense of ease at the end of the practice. Postures include Virabhadrasana II, Parsvakonasana, Horse stance, frog pose, handstand and urdhva dhanurasana/bridge pose. From the floor we find upavistha konasana and a few different seated postures. Enjoy my fellow yogis!

    • Dice Iida-Klein     May 15th, 2013
      Great! More like this coming up :)
  • Astrid Rodriguez     May 12th, 2013
    I am loving how holding postures feels mentally. I tried the shorter practice and enjoyed it, but this one , this is what I need. I benefit a lot from the focus it takes to hold a challenging pose. Thank you!
    • Dice Iida-Klein     May 15th, 2013
      You're welcome Astrid. Yes...holding postures tends to make our practice more mental. As much as our physical strength helps us to hold a posture, it's the mental aspect that comes into play after your physical body wants to give up. Our mind is what can get us through the tough times :) Keep on practicing my fellow yogi!

    Thanks for starting my morning off great Dice! Holding the postures was very challenging!
    • Dice Iida-Klein     Feb 22nd, 2013
      Glad I could give you a challenge :) Holding postures is tough, but the feeling after is amazing!

    Oh hey Joseph Gordon Levitt of yoga! Thank you so much for a completely rejuvenating, lengthening class. I absolutely loved it and my body feels so much better. Your strength is outrageous and inspiring. Can't wait to take from you again! Namaste
    • Dice Iida-Klein     Feb 22nd, 2013

    That was the first time I've enjoyed horse pose without feeling pain in the groin. All your anatomy tips are brilliant. Thank you! A really heating and strong but calming class. Thank you.
    • Dice Iida-Klein     Feb 22nd, 2013
      So great to hear Katie! You're quite welcome :)

    Dice - thank you again! Wonderful way to spend my evening.
  • Jennifer Devery     Nov 6th, 2012
    Rockin as usual! yet to take a class in person, one of these days... And thank you for holding karnapidasana, i rarely get to do it, almost forgot what a special pose that is. Thanks Dice!
  • Laura Risk     Oct 3rd, 2012
    thanks!
  • Amie Roberts     Sep 13th, 2012
    This is the first class I have experienced with you - I feel absolutely amazing! Thank you. Amie
  • Nina Natina     Sep 4th, 2012
    Thank you, Dice! Just finished the practice, and loved holding the poses, especially the warriors.
  • Shireen Idroos     Sep 3rd, 2012
    60 minutes flew by leaving me feeling expanded, grounded, and at ease. Thank you!

    Spicy Dice-eee - You're a precious gem....thank you thank you thank you.....your energy is Divine.
  • jessica horn     Aug 24th, 2012
    Amazing class, thank you, thank you. Great teaching and sequencing and has changed my day around.
  • MyLinda Morales     Aug 22nd, 2012
    Dice this is one of my all time favorite classes! It appeals to the Iyengar trained part of me. I don't mean to embarrass you but how cute are you teaching the 1 min. handstand while in the handstand and just looking around the room and talking at the same time?!? I'm sure Briohny's ok with my statement and I think she would even agree. Paul, however, said you can cut out being so cute :) Can't wait to see you both again. Namaste, MyLinda from Orlando
  • Laura Freundlich     Aug 21st, 2012
    loved this deep stretch - perfect for getting back to yoga after an injury. agree with Elena about needing more time in inversions. i love how you modulate you voice to mirror the intensity of the pose. thanks!
  • Maggie Schneider     Aug 20th, 2012
    This was an amazing, peaceful, challenging class ! I've never felt so involved with my breath. Great job and thank you!
  • mariana montero     Aug 15th, 2012

  • Kathryn Leonard Friedman     Aug 14th, 2012

    Thank you x 1,000!
  • Natasha Singh     Aug 12th, 2012
    Great class. Thank you so much. I loved it :)
  • Elena Lowenthal     Aug 10th, 2012
    Loved this class. Next time we should do the sets especially in inversions and backbends. Felt like for headstand and shoulderstand we needed more than one minute. May be 3. Elena
  • Mojgan Buonafede     Aug 9th, 2012
    Thank you Dice,
    Great class as always.
    I am dying to get the handstands in middle of the room:), doing yoga since 2002 on and off.
    I am pretty felexible and can do arm balances but not able to jump to hand stand from dog!
    any suggestion?
    Thank you again
  • Tracey Fritz     Aug 8th, 2012
    My mind feels more settled. I did some great handstands. Felt you challenged us with the holds but it wasn't as fatiguing as some other classes (I love your hard classes, keep 'em coming!). I also have a hard time getting myself to do seated postures, so this was perfect.
    Dice, I have learned so much about handstands from you, improved so much, I just want to say thank you. Love your classes, always happy when I see a new one!
  • Grace Boland     Aug 8th, 2012
    Love the long holds. I am pregnant as well and really appreciate deep hip openers. Well done, Dice! Will you ever lead a prenatal class? :)
  • Courtney Scarff     Aug 8th, 2012
    Love this one....I'm pregnant and miss doing full on vinyasa, this was really nice.
  • Shana Mahaffey     Aug 8th, 2012
    Another great class, thank you!
    • Dice Iida-Klein     Oct 21st, 2012
      You're welcome!
  • Elaine Vazquez     Aug 8th, 2012
    Totally loved it- Dice doing a level 2 was nice because I could invite my husband who has some shoulder and back troubles. This was so good for both of us!
    • Dice Iida-Klein     Oct 21st, 2012
      More level 2's to come :) Glad I could be of service to the both of you!
  • kat Greer     Aug 8th, 2012
    Thank you! That was wonderful....I feel so light and grounded. :-)
    • Dice Iida-Klein     Sep 26th, 2012
      You're welcome! :)
