Yoga Poses with Mark Giubarelli - 2

This is the 2nd sequence part 2.

This sequence has backbends and forward bends. But it is mostly backbends. We end with a seated forward bend for a prolonged period of time. To counter balance the other yoga poses.

Enter the Bridge yoga pose. The hands can be interlocked underneath you or supporting the spine.

Hold for 5 breaths.

Straighten the legs out. This will tone the legs and lower back more than the previous yoga pose but if you find this too hard return to the easier Bridge.

Hold for 6 breaths.

Walk the legs to the side and keep the feet together. This yoga pose will tone the sides of the lower and mid back.

Hold for 5 breaths one way and then the other.

Take the palms together and enter the straight leg Bridge again.

Hold for 5 breaths.

Come down and enter the Fish yoga pose. Place the palms together again to reflect the last posture and faith.

Hold for 6 breaths.

Release back down the raise up to Bridge on the head. Evenly distribute the weight on the hands and the head. Hold for 10 breaths.

Raise up to upward facing bow. Hold for 8 breaths.

Then come down for a break and enter again holding for 5 breaths. Do this 5 times.

Enter a light Cobra for 4 breaths.

Raise the head up and raise a little more. Inhale and take the head back. Then exhale look forward. Do this 8 times.

Enter a seated forward bend. Hold it lightly for the first 8 breaths then sink deeper for another 12. We have to hold this yoga pose for a little while to counter balance all the other back bends.

Lay in this pose for as long as you like.
