Open air Yoga - some outdoor practices cheering the Sun

Last week I started holding Yoga Classes at the Open air.

I noticed a nice sincronicity, since while I was reaching the park, the temperature was cold and the weather not really nice. In the thirty minutes before the start I was not sure we could do the lesson.

BUT at the exact minute the class was supposed to start, the first sun-rays started jumping out from the clouds and I ended up practicing with a t-shirt since the weather became really warmer.
Of course, the first exercise I made after the warm-up was the Sun-salutation sequence as a form of acknowledgement of the Sun's presence, thanking for the heat it was gifting us.

And in the last days, I went outside to perform my daily practice, since the weather here in Italy is getting better and warmer.

Among the other postures, I realized a few that I really appreciate.

The first one is Talasana (the Tree posture), where energy is conveyed through the arms into the body. Here is a great energization of the arms and solicitation of the shoulders that have to keep arms in parallel and not in V-shape, but on the other hand they must stay relaxed to avoid blocking the energy flow.

The second position has been Natarajasana (the posture of the dancing king), where flexibility of the core, resistance in the working shoulder, flexibility of the working leg and balance on the standing leg are under great solicitation.

This posture is a great training for the mind with attention, concentration and focus that are enhanced.

The third one is Bhujangasana, or the cobra posture. This posture is another one that is relevant for the core flexibility, shoulder opening, neck flexibility and energy flows from the ground. I had some serious problems at the beginning doing this posture, while now, I am quite confident and comfortable in doing it.

The last one is Kakasana, which is the Crow posture. It’s a strong stimulation for the arms, the groin and its flexibility and resistance plus a strong training for balance and concentration. At the beginning I could not stand doing it, but now, I am quite comfortable. I took the chance to make it in two version to ask the question to my teacher which one of the approaches was the correct one, so I could perfect my style and what I teach at people when I am the teacher.

I will post a lot of yoga contents onto my profile, so if you feel like giving me a shout, ping me on Instagram on my new profile, where I will share a few nice things from my non-business life.
