Phalakasana / Plank for Beginners (with progression)

www.adelenecheong.com This is a 1:35m video introducing plank with accessible variations, suitable for beginners to more experienced. The progression offered in the video increases in demand on #corestrength , it also gets more challenging when movements / transitions are approached slower. Suggest to practise mindfully at your own pace. * Pay attention to head and spinal alignment. 👍🏼 No props / equipments required, practise at home or travelling 👍🏼 Develop core muscles (strength / stability) 👍🏼 Stabilises shoulder girdle and upper back, whilst strengthens lower back 👍🏼 Firms up the gluts for pelvis stabilisation (with half plank, ie. 2nd position in video) Enjoy your practice, and share your experience below! 🙏🏼 Namaste
Restorative Tip #1 - Using Bolster Under Knees in Supine (Savasana)
03:01

Restorative Tip #1 - Using Bolster Under Knees in Supine (Savasana)

www.adelenecheong.com ____________________ Here is a Restorative tip for using a bolster under knees in supine, especially for Savasana. BEFORE: When bolster is positioned at back of thighs instead of knees in supine, the heads of femur and hips move into extension. It also posteriorly tilts the pelvis, therefore increases tension in the abdomen. AFTER: When bolster is directly supporting back of knees in supine, the heads of femur are encouraged to release deeper into hip joint. This allows the pelvis to restore neutral position and natural spinal curves, which helps to release tension in the lower back and abdomen. Freeing the excursion of the diaphragm. Subscribe and share if you find this helpful. 👍🏼 #restorativealignment #restorativeyogatraining #restorativeyogateacher #restorativeyogapose #restorativeyogatribe #restorativeyogateachertraining #advancedrestorativeyoga #restorativeyogateachers #restorativeyoga #restandsilence #restorativepose #yogapose #rest #yoga #yogaforlife #yogateacher #yogaworkshop #yogateachertraining #yogaforall #yogaclasses #getonyourmat #yogaforanxiety
Restorative Tip #3 Elevated Legs Up The Wall (Viparita Karani)

Restorative Tip #3 Elevated Legs Up The Wall (Viparita Karani)

www.adelenecheong.com ____________________ • Restorative Tips •⁣ ⁣ This is Viparita Karani (Elevated legs up the wall), a rather popular Restorative inversion many may be familiar. Observe the lower back and pelvis support position.⁣ ⁣ BEFORE: When the pelvis and bolster are positioned too close to the wall, notice how the pelvis is tilted backwards and the belly is closed and tight.⁣ This interferes with breathing as it restricts efficient movements of the diaphragm. ⁣ AFTER: By moving the bolster and the body further away from wall, this make space for the hips to release. With bolster further up across the mid and lower back... can you see that the diaphragm and lower lungs are now fully supported by the bolster, where the abdominal organs are elevated and opened? This promotes and nourishes the abdominal organs. Try it and share your experience below.

Live Conversation #1 RACE TO RELAXATION

www.adelenecheong.com We recognise that this is an uncertain time for all of us. Our fast-paced society is being asked to slow down, and more than ever, reconsider Rest as an essential part of living and in navigating the unknown. Restorative yoga is a relaxation practice to support Conscious Deep Rest. The intention of this practice is manyfold. * to relieve chronic stress and reduce the effects of stress-related diseases * to provide an environment for healing and rejuvenation * to restore balance within the healthy function of our bodily systems, especially the nervous system * to #takerefuge during times when we face fear, uncertainties, and doubts * to navigate our emotional and mental health And so, as Mother Earth heals and repairs herself, we invite our community and those beyond to use this time to do the same. Join us tomorrow at 2.30pm as we go LIVE ON CAMPUS with Yoga with Adelene Cheong to investigate this Race to Relaxation being called upon us. Adelene will offer a short talk about the importance of Rest and Relaxation, and some simple home-based Rest practices to support and navigate the physical, mental, and emotional experiences during these turbulent times. WHY LIVE? We want to offer a space of support whereby viewers can interact with the teacher, as you would in a live class setting, and get real-time feedback. We encourage a Live Q&A format whereby Adelene will be happy to answer questions for teachers and practitioners. Feel free to post them on this discussion board beforehand, or on the video comments section on the day.

Live Conversation #4 HOW TO BUILD A CREATIVE AND NOURISHING YOGA SELF PRACTICE

www.adelenecheong.com HOW DO I KEEP MY PRACTICE CREATIVE, INTERESTING, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY A NOURISHING EXPERIENCE Welcome to LIVE conversation with Adelene Cheong. Today we shall talk about why self practice, what does it mean to be CREATIVE in our practices, and what does a NOURISHING practice look or feel like. Following that a guided practice to tap into our inner wisdom. Keeping it interesting and creative? How does our practice satisfy our physical needs, whilst also nourish our emotional and mental well-being? How does it support our spiritual growth, to connect us in moving towards our heart felt life’s path (Dharma). Whether that is a 10 minutes practice or 2 hour practice, once a week or twice a day, to consciously nourish our practice and Being-ness. I am fortunate that over the years, my dear teacher, Donna Farhi, had given me much opportunity and encouragement for developing and trusting my self-practice. I would like to share this with you here. Guided Practice will be offered during the hour. Join the conversation. Join the community! 🧘‍♂️🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏾‍♂️🧘🏼‍♀️
