  • The Art of Sequencing, with Jason Crandell

    14/12/2020 Duración: 53min

    If you are a newer teacher sequencing might feel overwhelming at times and having some structure can be very grounding and helpful. If you are not a teacher, this episode is still for you, don’t go anywhere.

  • PREMIUM | Yoga for Your Core

    30/11/2020 Duración: 05min

    A strong core is not about bikini season, and a core workout is not a post-Thanksgiving punishment. A strong core stabilizes the body and allows you to move in all directions with more control and less injury risk. Whether you're flowing through a vinyasa or mopping the floor, all necessary movements either originate in your core, or move through it. So, in turn, weak or inflexible core muscles can impair how well your arms and legs function in mobility and strength. This sturdy central line of the body connects your lower and upper body allowing you to balance as well. In short, your core affects everything you do.For episode 74 of On and Off Your Mat Podcast, premium members requested a yoga sequence focused on core strength, so this episode is part of our premium subscription. Visit patreon.com/onandoffyourmat to have access to the full video sequence. You can become a premium member for as low as 5$/month. As a member, you'll have access to exclusive content like this 30 minutes video yoga sequence focu
