“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.
