ALIGNMENT NOTES +
- For your Active Squat, really squeeze the booty and draw the belly button toward the back bone.
- For Garland Pose (Malasana), the feet are shoulder width apart at a 45 degree angle. When you sit the booty low, see if you can keep the lower spine nice and long. Do this by engaging the booty (the glute muscles). The elbows come inside the inner thighs to help press the knees out. If your heels are off the Earth, place a blanket underneath the heels or come a little higher out of the squat.
BABY ON BOARD? +
- MerryBody classes are not designed to suit the needs of pregnant or breastfeeding women. Please seek approval from your doctor before commencing any of our classes. You remain solely responsible for your safety and wellbeing when using our classes. If you do commence this class please ensure you make the following modifications:
- Twists: during this class there are some closed twists. This is where the torso twists toward the front knee. Instead, please practise an open twist. This is where the torso would twist away from the front knee.
- Garland Pose (Malasana) and Active Squat: you may need to sit a little higher, resting your elbows on your knees.
- Kneeling Twist: rather than coming low to twist over the knee, simply twist placing opposite hand to outer thigh, keeping the twist high and open.
- Childs Pose (Balasana): take the knees a little wider to allow space for bubba.
