MACtive yoga
Today’s healthy workplace challenge (MACtive) was a yoga lunch & learn session. We learned a sequence (two on each side) of: Half Moon, Forward fold, Warrior 1, Warrior 2 and an Extended Side Angle (Variation A). The class was taught by Byron and his wife, Saffron (love her name) from Shavasana Studio on Aberdeen.
The whole experience was very relaxing and he made everyone feel very comfortable by opening with a discussion about limitations. Although I expected to have trouble breathing – that was not the case at all! I also found that having learned the body mechanics from Tai Chi, I felt less risk of self-injury from improper posture. I can see how starting off your day with a short sequence like that can mentally ground you and remind your body how to feel relaxed for the rest of the day. I liked it!
