When I injured my ankle and could not stand, this is how I practiced yoga | Class Number One

Описание: Namaste, Beautiful! Welcome to this very special, unique class that is designed for those with an ankle injury, though can also be practiced as an ab, arm, back, glutes, and quads intensive class, with heart and hip opening. The work around the ankle, since I had very little mobility in it at the time I made this, is much more energetic, while, physically, we are working out all other parts of the body.

In the video, I'll tell you a little backstory about how I got injured (it was from running, not yoga, I promise!), as well as a little about why I decided to heal from the injury completely by myself (without doctor, physical therapist, etc). This video was made 40 days after injury, when I had just regained the ability to (kind of) walk (during the day). As I write this, it has been six months since injury, and while my ankle is not completely back to normal, it is close enough that I feel I can share this with confidence in the choices I made.

This class is a bit more of a "workout" than other practices, which, looking back, is probably because it's the only kind of workout I could really be getting, since I could not be on my feet. So, as previously mentioned, even though it was made during my injury, for others with ankle injury, it is suitable for other practitioners as well who are looking to get in a good workout! If you are doing it for the workout, you may choose to focus your energy on healing something different during the parts where I guide energetic work on the injury.

Some of the fun asanas we'll cover include: L-Sit (Brahmacharyasana), front and with straddle variation, Boat Pose (Navasana), front and with straddle variation, Lots of spinal waves, Middle Split (Samakonasana), Bow Pose (Dhanurasana), Some of Ashtanga Finishing Sequence (excluding anything in padmasana): Shoulder Stand (Salamba Sarvangasana), Plow (Halasana), Ear Pressure Pose (Karnapidasana) Fish (Matsyasana), Extended Legs and Arms (Uttana Padasana), Headstand (Shirshasana)
