Yoga Basics 2

Creating Stability Within Your Body

About the Book

Building up on yoga for beginners 1, the focus in this routine is on creating stability. In the previous routine the ground provided stability for you to push against. Here you’ll learn how to use your body to create stability in the hip(s) and shoulder(s)

  • You’ll learn how to make your body more stable with a simple intent and you’ll learn to recognize the sensations of stability.

Both parts 1 and 2 together give you options for learning how to stabilize your body in yoga poses.

The techniques in 2 aren’t better than those found in part 1, just different.

  • Understanding both gives you options for exploring your body.
  • It also gives you options for dealing with how your body feels on any given day.

This routine includes many of the same poses from routine 1 plus some new ones.

Even though the poses are the same (in most cases) the instructions are different so that you get a different way of experiencing your body in the same poses. You could think of this as a means of creating mental flexibility.

  • Rather than doing the same pose the same way each time, you learn options with each method or technique working your body in a slightly different way.

Hi, I'm Neil Keleher

I’ve been a yoga teacher for about 20 years.

I have a degree in systems design engineering from the University of Waterloo.

Prior to that I served for five years in the British army as an armourer.

As a yoga teacher I teach my students how to feel and control their body. In this context I’m like a driving instructor for your body.

One of my other hats is “indexing specialist”. One of my current ongoing projects under this hat is designing an easy to use indexing system for Chinese characters.
