  • Vinyasa Yoga Flow to King Pigeon - 45 Minutes - Intermediate with Advanced Options
    This mindfully paced strong intermediate-level class leads to the pinnacle pose King Pigeon. You may find it helpful to have a block and a strap. We'll use the strap to access King Pigeon. I do spend time breaking down the peak pose.
    Some of the other poses here are:
    -Dolphin Split with optional Forearm Stand
    -Side plank variation
    -Puppy pose
    -Handstand and Chin Stand vinyasas
    -Half split or optional full split
    I wrote a quick blog post about the meaning of closed circuits in yoga. The little "i" in the top right will take you there if you are on a desktop.
    Thank you for stopping by!

    WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
    "Starting my morning with this! Thank you for always graciously sharing your practice with us!!! I am in ♡ with your style & the challenges you allow me to try!!!!"
    "I've started taking your classes and enjoying every moment of the practice in the early morning before heading out for work. Thank you very much. Namaste."
    "I find your classes unique and inspiring, They leave me feeling the best version of me."
    "I have been loving your classes. Thank you for making them."
    "Hi Leigha, I did your first class again (forearm stand) and I feel sooooo good now. Thank you!
    I decided to do the whole series one by one again. It has been around 52 classes already, so it will take me some time.
    Good on you!"
    "The last class (throat chakra) was absolutely amazing. Thank you for your wisdom you share with us. I also really enjoyed nauli pranayama."
    "I just did Body Medicine last night and Open Open just now. What lovely wholesome practices, I love how we seamlessly did juicy amounts of good smooth movements, explored new transitions and poses, and worked on splits and compass pose again. 🙂 Feeling wonderful, thank you dear Leigha."
    "After the shavasana and the short meditation in the end, I got up off the mat and I experienced an incredible feeling of lightness, as if i was light as a feather, thank you."
    "I did handstand class again today. I can feel such a progress in those L-stand hops. The whole class felt much easier than the first time. Thank you Leigha."
    "Hi Leigha, I took last class (Peace) outside by the lake I live.
    The class itself made me feel peaceful and as I was listening to the sounds of the birds between your words and watching the top of the trees, it even intesified my feeling of blissfulness and peace.. I finished when the sun was setting down and I was listening to the frogs and birds while taklng shavasana. Thank you for another amazing class.
    "I feel grateful as I am improving so much with your guidance. I can feel open in my shoulders, thoracic spine as never before, leg behind head feels easy and slowly slowly I can do king pieon for rhe first time in my life (just on one side). I do not even attend any yoga classes anymore as I just love doing yoga at home and your guidance is the best for me anyway (I do yoga for several years but your classes make a big difference. and I love you make them in accessible way, I never feel any strain… you can teach and prepare and open body with an ease and grace). "
    "Hello Leigha!
    First of all, a big thank you for the chin-stand themed practice. It was intense, I will definitely be coming back to it,… once my pride recovers!! It is a struggle for me.
    Just did Paradise and Grasshopper… soooo amazing, I finally really feel how incredible and energizing back bends are. Huge smile on my face when I kicked over from the wall.
    Thank you again."
    "Hey Leigha, I just completed your newest class, Paradise. I feel like I’m on cloud nine. The shavasana in the end felt so blissful. The sensation of bliss so….tangible, it felt like it was sloshing and spreading around in my body, gently tingling and glittering. I was lying on my mat with a big grin of contentment slowly appearing on my face, couldn’t help it. I’m very grateful. Sending my love to you and all the yogis practicing with you."
    "I just did Open Hearted, BEAUTIFUL practice, feeling so open and accepting of loving energy built up in my heart. Thank you Leigha!"
    "You have added sooo much to my practice that i had to thank you! your pace, instruction, sequencing and the space you allow is magical. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and work."
    with love,
    Leigha

Took advice from one of the previous comments and did a longer warm up, then had a little practice at your tutorial before starting the class. Strong and slow and will take a lot of practice.

    I love love love this practice! I've done it twice now thank you so much for sharing. The way you teach brings me so much deeper into the poses than I am usually able to go on my own. I have a question about king pigeon. While we had the arms behind the head holding the strap, you mentioned "kick into the strap with the foot to send the chest forward" (LOVED THAT it made a world of a difference!) ... do we keep that active tension kicking back as we walk the hands toward the foot or does the foot relax toward the head as the hands eventually grab?
    *Thank you!*

    • @LeighaButler
      @LeighaButler  7 лет назад +1

      +Melody Idol If you're practicing 3+ times/week, developing real warmth every time, and being very careful not to overdo it, you will see a difference within weeks. The deeper backbends could take 6 mos - 5 years depending on various things. Think of opening the front body more than the back body, and incorporate shoulder/triceps opening to assist the process. Have fun in every moment. 👌🏾
