Well Rounded Basics Flow

Hatha | By Amy Ippoliti on Sep 02 2012
For those new to yoga, get guided carefully and mindfully through a variety of yoga poses and learn to use props and modifications to support you. You need not be able to do all of the poses perfectly or at all, but done repeatedly, this practice will help you build the strength and stamina you need to start expanding your practice. You'll want two blocks, a blanket and some kind of cushion or bolster.

    Hi Amy! I have been sick with a lingering cold and really starting a regular practice that begins to challenge me more. I absolutely loved this class. You are such a humble and generous teacher! I really needed that feeling today so, thank you! I will revisit this video because before I do more intermediate poses I want to feel steady with the basics.
    Hey did you work at Crunch Fitness in NYC many many years ago? I feel like I took a class of your and adored it. Peace to you and blessings, Juliana

      Hey Juliana! I totally recognize your name and yes I was definitely at Crunch in NYC back in the day. Funny I am in NYC visiting right now - LOL! I'm so glad this class was good for your re-entry into yoga. And you are so very wise to start out slow and gradual as you work your way back. We can all benefit from that wisdom! Hope to see you again someday. :)

    Hi Amy, I've been back to teaching again, and many are at a basic level. This was great in instructing me how to share the practice with beginners. Thank you!

    Fantastic class and great mood shifter. I came to the mat with a knitted brow and stiff shoulders; now I'm floating away to enjoy the rest of my day. Thanks, Amy!

      Oh, Laura, that is awesome - this made my day!

    Thanks Amers! Lots of great ways to explain the simple poses in different ways and make them feel differently. Yeah!
    • Amy Ippoliti     Sep 20th, 2012
      YAY! Thanks, Amers! Big love...

    Very much enjoyed - this was exactly what I needed after a bout of illness this past weekend. Thank you!
    • Amy Ippoliti     Sep 20th, 2012
      Oh, so good - happy to hear you are feeling better and YogaGlo was there for you! xo

    This was an amazing class! I am usually doing lvl 2 or 2/3, working on jumping higher, building more strength in the arms, open up the hips even wider ... and forget about the basics. So it was a nice reminder also for alignment and to get back to where we started from. Loved the cell phone posture. Thanks a lot Amy! Have a nice day and I am looking forward to more of your classes. <3
