The forward bends are simply excellent. Your narration and explanation is very good. Able to understand 👍 totally. Have you done a video session on how to strengthen the lower back. I just started seeing your videos. I am also started learning BKS yoga from a senior teacher in Hyderabad, India. Thank you, your videos are very useful.
The standing poses help you to strengthen the back as well as the prone poses. We are always connecting the legs to the hips and back, so in a general way all poses are helping to lengthen, make space, stabilize, build strength and build more awareness. Go through the standing session and also take a look at my Foundational Course where I go through the poses building on one another.
Beginning back bends will establish sensitivity and strength but I would start with standing and build up. Let me know how else I can help.
Namaste, Kathy
Gracias bella ♥

So nice to see you here! 😇🙏🏼🕉
Veronique! Super happy to hear from you.🙏🏻
Lovely we can connect like this, our gifts come in the most unexpected ways these days. 🙏🏻🧘🏻♀️🤸🏽✨
Wonderful class!
When I am doing the Parsvottasan my front leg is charged and tight whereas my back leg feels loose and disconnected with the floor. What would be the technique to have the back leg tight, firm POWERED and connected to the floor as well. Kindly enlighten, Namaste!
Hi Sharma, may I suggest practicing with the back heel at the wall. This touch will give you a direction for the back leg. Heel on the floor and also heel up the wall. Heel up the wall will demand you use the back leg to keep your balance as you press back heel to wall. Away from the wall, use a rolled sticky mat or ½ brick to press the heel into. Could be your not making contact with the floor. Importantly your back heel is completely grounded. Face the wall pressing hands into the wall, to enable you to shift your weight back to the back leg. From the front foot and leg move weight to the back leg! See if you are able to connect with any of these modifications. Namaste, Kathy
Dear Kathy, thank you deeply for your teaching. As i practice with your videos one inquiry keeps popping up in my head. From ardha uttanasana with concave back (hands under shoulders) when you take your hands wider and your spine goes further forward and down does the spine remain in concave position? Your next step is then taking hands closer to feet where the spine is convex. My inquiry is about that second step - between ardha uttanasan and uttanasa. Gratefully, Edith
Dear Edith, You are very welcome. Ardha Uttanasana and Uttanasana are very different. In Ardha we are learning extension in the spine, side trunk, connecting arms and legs to access this area. Moving into uttanasana away from the wall or even hips to the wall, we take that extension we were learning in ardha uttanasana and maintain as much as possible to go finally with head down and side trunch descending. Hinging from the hips with feet hips width and then advancing to legs together as your body allows. Even there many times we start with a concave back to extend the front body - anterior spine. How we go to Uttanasana depends on what we will focus on in our practice. But in learning it's good to be aware of these actions, learning here so as to have the intelligence for further forward bending asanas. Learn to create that space and then hands on floor or bricks or even a chair go forward releasing the concavity but aware of the lengthening. Sometimes we must give up one thing to practice another. Observe how that goes. I hope that answered your query. Namaste, Kathy
@@DesaYogiIyengarYoga thank you for your time on this, Kathy. I understand starting in ardha uttanasana and then as you mention hands go forward (on bricks or chair) trying to maintain the length both in back and front body. In your version though you take hands off the blocks to the side of blocks and i struggle to understand where exactly / in line with shoulders or forward or further back - because that will define concavity or not of the spine…
Thanks. What if the student can't get so low....? 2 bolsters? Pull the bolster towards the abdomen?
Yes Nina, build up the support to accommodate your body and the space. You can also use a chair. Pull the bolster into the pelvis at the low abdomen and lengthen from the pelvis to the chest. Breath into the back. Namaste.
