Carrie Owerko – Iyengar Yoga for Strength and Agility

Want to feel strong and resilient—and have a lot of fun while you’re at it? Join Senior Iyengar Yoga teacher Carrie Owerko for a unique series of dynamic video practices designed to build strength and keep your joints healthy.

In this series of 11 classes you’ll learn how to move with more fluidity, mobilizing and stabilizing your joints in sustainable ways. We’ll practice fun and functional asana, along with other movements to help you feel more at home in your body—on and off the mat. Whether you have 5 minutes, 60 minutes, or somewhere in-between, you’ll find a practice to fit your schedule. Consider this your guide to better form, fluidity, and function—and here’s more about what that means:

Form

We often think of yoga as asana, and those asana as having distinctive forms. But yoga—and asana—can be much more. Yoga is integration. It can be an effective means to increase your body’s capacity for variability and adaptability and to realize your fullest movement potential.

Fluidity

Watch an athlete or a dancer move and you’ll see fluidity. This type of smooth integrated movement requires motor control. We develop some motor control when we do asana, but in order to really become more fluid in our movements, we need to do more than the static shapes.

Function

Functional movement is often multi-planar (moving through many planes of motion), multi-jointed (utilizing many joints simultaneously), and demands the use of the body’s core musculature.

In these classes, you’ll explore…

Playful Ninja

This fun, fluid, and functional class begins with an active and thorough warm-up on the floor then playfully progresses to standing poses and arm balances.

Active Gomukasana

Try a dynamic practice to stretch and strengthen your lower body. You’ll learn how to use a blanket to provide resistance and help your legs and hips develop strength and control though a full range of motion.

Unwind

This class will bring you down to the ground and help you unwind and let go of unnecessary tension in your upper back, shoulders, hips and entire nervous system. It is like a long exhalation at the end of the day.
