If you have ever practiced yoga either in a video or at a live class, you are probably familiar with Savasana or Corpse Pose. This is always done at the end of your practice in order to relax and renew. Many teachers say this is the most important part of your yoga practice.

Yoga Styles Taught through Alligator Healing Arts Yoga: All sessions taught through AHA! Yoga focus on the fundamentals of yoga postures, including standing, sitting, twisting, and supine poses. The emphasis always rests on doing what is right for your individual body and mind that particular day. Props such as blocks, straps, cushions, and even chairs are often used to meet your specific body’s needs. Individualized modifications ensure each posture is steady and
In AHA! Yoga sessions, we often use yoga straps. No, it is not a strange torture device, nor is it meant to stick you in difficult yoga poses. A yoga strap can help you get all the benefits from specific postures, while maintaining comfort and ease. It allows you to practice proper alignment without strain, making your overall yoga experience more delightful. Just as yoga blocks are a way to
This posture is a little known sleeping beauty waiting to be discovered, as it is one of the only yoga poses that has you lie down on your side. It is also a subtle balance asana (posture), sometimes easier for those who find standing or arm balance poses frustrating or painful. ANANTASANA = “Ananta” is the name given to the divine serpent who is devoted to the Hindu god Vishnu. “Ananta” usually translates as
Yoga is more than just asana (physical poses) and stretching; pranayama (breathwork) is crucial for a well-rounded yoga practice. One of the best Pranayama methods to soothe the brain and calm the mind is also one of the easiest. And, it’s a lot of fun! “Bhramari” gets its name, “Bee’s Breath,” from the Sanskrit, “Bhramaraka.” “Bhramaraka” means “bee,” “honey,” or a “humming top,” and is associated with the large Indian

Our bodies are prone to this misalignment because our hip joints are wider than our knee joints. As we age, this natural shape creates uneven contraction of the quadriceps, which can eventually pull kneecaps outwards. Conditions worsen with hyperextension. Even yoga, often hailed as
