“Big 6” Practices to Ground and Stabilize
Before the Holidays with Donna Read
A note about props:
Classes will be adjusted for using basic props. Ideally you will have a wall (or locked door) available and your mat set up before we begin. Additionally, if you have a belt, 2 blocks, 3 blankets, a bolster and a chair available, please have them nearby, as we will use them in virtually every class.
If you have any questions about props, or camera placement, email Donna at unitedyogamontreal@gmail.com.
The holiday season can be tricky, so Donna invites you to join her for three mornings of practice as we ground and stabilize on our mats. The “Big-6” refers to six yoga postures considered to be foundational for a balanced yoga practice.
Headstand (Salamba Sirsasana)
Shoulder stand (Salamba Sarvangasana)
Plough Pose (Halasana)
Supported Bridge Pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana)
Calm Lake Posture (Viparita Karani)
Corpse Pose (Savasana)
These practices will focus on integrating strong, balanced variations of the Big-6 with long-hold standing poses for all around stability. We will also integrate restorative, supported variations of the Big-6 and deep, forward bends to calm our mind and quiet the nervous system.
