NEW! Pose of the Week tutorial video + instructional photos - Natarajasana Pose 🧘🏾‍♀️ (Patreon)

Blessings Nude Yogis 🙏🏽

With it being my birthday month...I thought, 'what better tutorial to teach than 'dancer pose'!!!

So this week, we are focusing on 'Natarajasana', better known as 'Lord of the Dance Pose', or 'Shiva Dancing Pose' or simply 'Dancer Pose'. 

Natarajasana is a standing balancing pose that is also a backbend! It's a lot in one pose, but it feels sooooo good in so many different parts of the body. 

This (the full expression of the pose) is a more advanced level pose, but I do share more beginner-friendly variations/modifications in the tutorial video.  

This pose is great for helping to improve balance, focus and concentration. 

Benefits of this pose can include:

• stretches hamstrings, quadriceps, groin and hip flexors
• amazing chest opener 
• strengthens legs and ankles 
• strengthens wrists and arms 
• great hip opener 
• strengthens back muscles 
• improves balance 
• massages abdominal organs and aids in improving digestion 

Be sure to have a look through the instructional photos also.

Preparatory poses: practice these poses before coming into Natarajasana. These preparatory poses will assist you in feeling more open and supported in the pose. 

• tree pose (folder 9)
• low lunge (folder 39)
• downward dog (folder 4) 
• half bow pose (folder 35)

⚠️PLEASE PRACTICE WITH CAUTION/OR AVOID IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:⚠️

• avoid if you are pregnant or menstruating
• avoid if have high blood pressure
• practice with caution if you have lower back issues
• avoid if you have shoulder/arm injury and/or pain
