Hi Edy! I am glad you enjoyed my Strong Bones series. I modified the Yoga poses to make it safer and more accessible. Dr. Fishman recommends the following 12 poses which of course works various parts of the body in many ways. Because I use the chair for my adaptions, some of his recommended floor poses (7-11) were modified and included in the Upper Body video to open the chest and strengthen the vertebrae in the spine.
Tree Pose (Vrksasana)
Triangle Pose (Trikonasana)
Warrior I (Virabhadrasana I)
Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II)
Reverse Warrior (Viparita Virabhadrasana)
Side-Angle Pose (Parsvakonasana)
Locust Pose (Salabhasana)
Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana)
Sphinx Pose (Salamba Bhujangasana)
Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana)
Upward-Facing Dog Pose (Urdhva Mukha Svanasana)
Corpse Pose (Savasana)
I have seen some of the 12-Pose videos on the internet as well and agree they can be quite challenging for many. Thus I created this series. Let me know if you think I have missed something.
Thanks! I love what I do and I feel as much joy and have as much fun making these videos that I hope you have in participating in them! Many blessings to you!
Hi Paula! I hope your cat is okay. Give Yoga Nidra a try a few times... it takes time to let the process sink into your being. It is not a silver bullet, but a way to stop the chattering of the mind so that the body can relax and de-stress. Enjoy your week!
