This sequence is modified from BKS Iyengar's book, Iyengar Yoga: The Path to Holistic Health. This sequence was modified to be accessible to all levels and can be practiced in 75 minutes. The standing poses at the beginning of the sequence are practiced with the support of a wall behind you, if possible. Anxiety can be destabilizing and ungrounding, so the support of the wall provides stability. Use as much support as necessary for you for the other poses included in the sequence. If you have any questions about the sequence, please refer to Mr. Iyengar's book or feel free to contact us.
This class, hosted by Iyengar Yoga Therapeutics, is part of a 6-part therapeutic series on teaching to women either going through menopause and those who are Post-Menopausal. This class focuses on Standing Poses and the main recommendation is to practice supported for those going through menopause and to sharpen the practice once women are Post-Menopausal. We use head support during menopause and also can use a wall for support. Bobby recommended facing towards the wall for moral support during menopause and facing away from the wall for stability in post-menopause.
