Curvy Yoga Comes to Video!

by Anna Guest-Jelley on June 13, 2011

Relaxing on a boat

You should probably look out your window right now and see if pigs are flying because Curvy Yoga has entered the video age!

For my first video, I’ve got a reader request for boat pose, or Navasana, modifications.  Check it out, add your fav modifications, and let me know what you think about Curvy Yoga in action!

Yay! Anna you are adorable. Fantastic modifications — also want to note that those modifications are fantastic after having babies, especially if you had a c-section (like I did) and your abs are pretty much destroyed. I did the alternating legs for a LOOONNNGGGG time.

The video is great! It’s really nice to see you in action because seeing it “live” makes it so much easier to understand than trying to figure something out from a written description. I have a hard time understanding how to make my body do something from a written description, so video is always a big help for me!

So glad you found it helpful! I agree; it’s definitely easier to see sometimes!

Awesome video!! I love that you showcased boat mods here. I find that lots of us curvy yogis/yoginis struggle with that one.

Thanks, Lisa! ♥

Thanks for the video. I did boat pose today and yes, I can hang in there a lot longer using these suggestions. How can I tackle stepping through from Downdog? I always feel so stuck as I reach to bring my leg through.

Oh, great! I’m so glad it helped! I have a few posts on the Down Dog issue, but I’ll have to do a video on that soon, too. Here are some posts to check out; let me know what questions you have!

This is great – thank you so much for making this video! If you could show anything for modifying child’s pose, I would be so grateful.
