Inhale, return to a Downward-Facing Dog split, and lower your right foot down. On your exhalation, draw your knee forward toward your nose, curling your upper back. Inhale, extend and press back to a Downward-Facing Dog Split, lifting your right leg high. Lift your belly and squeeze your obliques. As you exhale, shift forward and cross your right knee to your left elbow. With your inhale, press your right leg up and back to return to a Downward-Facing Dog Split. Engage your low belly and lift your knee high up toward your armpit. On your exhale, shift forward and touch your right knee to your right tricep. Lengthen from your right wrist through your right heel. Align both hipbones toward the ground, and turn all five toes to face the mat. On your inhale, sweep your right leg up and back into a Downward-Facing Dog Split. Core Warm-Up: Downward-Facing Dog SplitsĬome to Downward-Facing Dog and root down through your knuckles to create your foundation. Generate ujjayi breath to set the pace for your practice. After you complete the sequence, I recommend finishing with 10 breaths in Half Pigeon on each side, a Seated Forward Bend, and a supine twist on each side. In this core-strengthening sequence, we’ll build up to Leap Frog hops (sometimes called Donkey Kicks)-a great fix for those days when you’re feeling just a little too serious.īefore you begin this sequence, warm up with at least 3 rounds of Sun Salutation A and Sun Salutation B. Inversions can help you get out of your head and into your body, and they’re also really fun and empowering. Master Baptiste Yoga teacher Leah Cullis, who leads YJ’s upcoming online course Pillars of Power Yoga, created this advanced core-strengthening sequence with Leap Frog hops-the perfect pick-me-up for a blah day.
