Here's a way of getting more strength out of each and every class you attend.
Get there a couple of minutes early.
Immediately do some pushups. Rest. Maybe do some more. Or...
Do some dolphin (forearm) pushups.
Dolphin position is just a downdog on your forearms with the hands clenched together.
Take your nose forward and down over your thumbs, then push back. When you tire. Move your feet back a step and do some more.
Ok, why are we doing all this? It's a common bodybuilding technique call pre-exhaustion.
What we are looking to do is tire out our shoulders and arms before practice. Then, during practice, every down dog and chatarunga will be harder.
So we are purposely making the yoga session harder on our arms and shoulders. Result...stronger yogis. More bang for your yoga class buck.
This is practicing smarter. Use it, J.
