When we adopt a regular yoga practice, we benefit from the strength that comes with all the planks and Chaturangas we find in Vinyasa classes, but our muscles can get a little sore from these movements. Reverse Table Top is a great way to release this tension, and it’s the first step to move towards the full expression of Purvottanasana. It also strengthens your back and gluts which can help you to release backache.
Also, as practitioners we aim to have a strong core that will assist us in more complex postures such as arm balances and deep inversions. For this reason, Eli teaches you how to practice and how to modify Boat Pose, one of the most well-known yoga poses for strengthen the abdominal muscles, hip flexors and spine.
If you started practicing yoga to have a tone torso, strong abdomen and support your lower back muscles, these asanas are the perfect place to begin with!
Thank you for watching, and stay tuned for more tips on fitness, yoga, and healthy lifestyle.
Eli has been passionate about healthy lifestyle since she was a teen, which led her to study Clinical Psychology and to certify as Pilates Instructor, Reiki Master, Yoga Instructor and Health Coach.
Combining all this knowledge, she started a different professional practice, encouraging people to find the balance in their life.
Due to her eager to learn more about the body and its functionality, she moved from Costa Rica –her homeland- to New York to deepen her studies in Pilates. Once in USA she reconnected with her own personal Yoga practice and decided to go to India not only to study Yoga but also to learn how to live a fulfilling life. Since then, she has been living in London, India, and Thailand, teaching how to use the asana practice as a vehicle to find inner peace.
Her style is a combination of Yin and Yang energies. On one hand, she practices and teaches Ashtanga Yoga and Vinyasa to strengthen the body and mind, using the effort of the physical body to focus on the breath and calming the mind. And on the other hand, she has become a follower of Yin Yoga; using the gentle flow to allow the body to work on a deeper level, not only physically but mentally and emotionally.
