Free Yoga & Pranayama Sequences
Three of these sequences are led by dietetic intern Lauren (Lola) Decunto. Lola is a 500-hr yoga instructor with 7 years teaching experience, and she is a recent graduate from Teachers College, Columbia University, working toward becoming a Registered Dietitian.
She is passionate about helping others restore their connection with their bodies, primarily through the relationship with food and through the practice of yoga.
Each sequence below focuses on a different theme and will emphasize on specific asana (postures). Please read the descriptions below the videos to learn more.
From Lola:
Hello, and welcome! This is a 20-minute yoga asana and pranayama sequence for those who are in need of some grounding. For the first few minutes, we start with breathing exercises to bring awareness and connection to our bodies. Then, we warm up with sun salutations and transition to the balancing the poses that will help us gain awareness of our feet. Balancing poses help us check in with the how we are feeling internally and externally. Our feet are the base for the rest of our spine, and bringing attention to this part of the body will help us feel a sense of grounding and stability.
These balancing poses will amplify your ability to stay focused and aware of how you are holding yourself up. I would recommend practicing this sequence anytime during your day; however, practicing in the morning would be best.
I hope you enjoy these offerings and please practice safely and mindfully.
Warmest wishes,
Lola
