Dear Yoga Student,
If you’re a person who almost NEVER feels
“warmed up,” I have a couple quick tips that
I think you’ll find useful…
… all of which I first learned when I lived in New
York City and was starting out with Ashtanga
Yoga.
I practiced in a very drafty studio in Soho, and
at 7 a.m., it was freezing in the winter.
Plus, I was always so stiff.
Plus, the postures just felt impossible.
It was like I was NEVER warmed up – ever -
so I developed a practice I call “til the sweat
drips off your nose.”
It’s really simple. If your body is feeling cold
and locked up, just keep doing Sun Salutations
until the sweat drips off your nose. Sometimes
that takes 10 minutes. Sometimes it takes 20
or more…
… and if you’re pressed for time and that’s ALL
you do (Sun Salutes), that’s OK too. Because
the moment the sweat drips off the tip of your
nose, you are officially warmed up and that’s
when you can really go deep.
Stay bendy,
Lucas

p.s. A very small, strong cup of fresh ginger tea
works well too. YOGABODY Stretch gives lots
of students that “warmed up” feeling as
well. YOGABODY Stretch
