Yoga For Detox


hi I’m Veronica watchmojo.com and today
and you Sarah inspired yoga instructor
Jen lorac shows us some postures to help
our body detox how does yoga help our
body detox it helps our body detox I
mean pretty much right we get the body
moving when we get the body moving with
yoga we incorporate the breath with the
movement when the breath flows better
our blood starts to flow better right
and even the blood gets oxygenated so
when the blood flows better and the body
the body gets healthier yeah you’re
tying me that your skin always looks
better when you do talk so what other
things can you look forward to you know
how sometimes we’ll we’ll look at our
body and and there’s some sort of water
weight they’ll be like a puffiness to
the skin what that actually is is talk
since that lie just underneath the skin
and the more that we exercise get the
body going you’ll notice the body will
look more toned slimmer simply from just
you know sweating a little bit let’s go
do that okay cool the first pose that
we’re gonna do is call them para frita
auto mukha svanasana so that means a
downward dog or a twisted downward dog
you’re just going to start by placing
the hands parallel and shoulder width
apart and then you’re slowly going to
straighten the back leg the other leg
come into plank and then from here push
back into downward dog you set up the
feet parallel and hip width apart to
each other and now you’re going to lift
the right hand off the floor cross it
through and grab the outside of the
ankle if this might be a little bit too
hardcore for you you can bring the hand
up on the outer shin or even onto the
upper leg but for today we’re going to
do this so you just place the hand on
the outside of the ankle and now you can
even bend the elbow and try to twist the
right belly through to the other side
keep the sacrum level the hips square
and then you’re going to exhale you’re
going to release place the hand back to
Center and then you’re going to exhale
and once again going to reach around
behind and then on the exhale once again
you place the left hand onto the earth
and then you can bring the knees down
and come back now this is going to be
part of Rita prasarita padottanasana the
feet need to go actually quite wide here
so you’re going to lift up the arms and
the proper measurement would be so that
the ankles settle rate underneath the
risks just going to place the hands on
the hips and once you start you just
take a breath in and you make the inner
body buoyant and you lengthen from the
hips up to the armpits and the head of
the arm bones go back and then on the
exhale now you bout forward so bring the
hands to the floor now you’re going to
place the right hand down and you’re
going to place the left hand on the
lower back there’s a spot on the lower
back or the back and the buttocks kind
of connect the sacrum so make sure that
that stays level and now keep that level
on the exhale you’re going to slowly
roll the left shoulder open and then
reach the left arm up and on the exhale
bring the hand down so now we do the
other side so now the left hand firms to
the earth right hand once again right on
the sacrum take a breath in and on the
exhale you’re going to twist and roll
that right shoulder open but once again
don’t let the sacrum tip or tilt and on
the exhale now you can reach the arm up
to the sky on the exhale bring the hand
down release the hands from the floor
bring the hands to the hips draw the
elbows together hug the legs to the
midline steady yourself and inhale come
all the way up okay so for the third one
we’re actually going to be doing part of
Rita anjaneyasana so revolve twist and
we’re going to start with the right foot
forward in yoga we always start with the
right foot and then the left foot
because our digestive system moves from
right to left so we’re always
maintaining a kind of natural flow of
the digestion from right to left so you
take a breath in and once again the
hands come on the knees I’m you lengthen
from the hips side to the armpits and
even your heart lifts here on the exhale
you’re slowly going to bring the left
elbow to the outside of the right knee
you’re going to place the right hand
into prayer and now once again you’re
going to twist from that back left side
of the body roll the right shoulder open
then look up towards the sky and now if
you want to make this a little bit more
difficult you can just slowly start to
lift the back knee up off the floor lift
up through the box i keep the side body
along the inner body still right and
then you twist open even further and on
the exhale you’re going to release you
can bring the back knee down and then
you can switch once again take a breath
in and on the exhale now you’re going to
twist bring the right elbow to the
outside of the left knee and place the
palms together and just a little
reminder another breath in side body
along the inner body bright and now roll
the head of that left arm bone back the
shoulder blade settles into the back of
the heart and now with the heart right
lift up strong once again through the
back thigh if you want to make this a
little bit more difficult and then you
can even go crazy and twist from the
back right side of the body and get the
heart open up towards the sky and you
can step back and you can always just
settle right back into Child’s Pose
balasana
