Refine Your Yoga Practice in the New Year

Vinyasa Flow | By Dice Iida-Klein on Jan 04 2011
The New Year always brings new resolutions, but most likely your new resolutions are goals or ideas REFINED from the year before.  This class is geared towards REFINING and retouching the practice, getting back to the breath and refining the asanas via the breath and slow movements.  My goal for this class was to do a slower Dice class...hopefully I succeeded:) Either way, a yogi is always refining his or her practice and I'm always refining my sharing abilities with my fellow yogis.  Class includes modified Surya A, dancing warrior, handstands, lizard poses, pigeon prep (single pigeon), half-lotus in standing forward fold (ardha padma uttanasana) and hollowback handstands and forearm balance for backbends.  Happy New Year yogis!!!

    @Harmony - I'm very happy that you enjoyed the pace of this practice. Sometimes slowing the practice down a little more is good for me too:) Thank you for the kind words.
  • Dice Iida-Klein     Jan 27th, 2011
    @Ana - I'm glad you liked the class. Everyone can do yoga is right:) The handstand is addicting once you start!
  • Harmony Jump     Jan 18th, 2011
    I appreciate you slowing your pace down a bit. I'm usually out of breath half way through your regular classes, but this class was perfect in that I was breathing hard and sweating, but I didn't feel out of breath, and I could keep going. It was PERFECT. Thank you. Namaste.
  • Ana Corella     Jan 17th, 2011
