Finding Purpose in Yoga

February 11, 2010

When participating in a yoga practice, poses can be grouped into approximately 11 series, each having a personality or purpose in gaining perspective, breath, movement, and awareness!!   So, in following Baron Baptiste, he suggests these in an order:

1. Integration Series:  Presence

2. Sun Salutes:  Awakening

3. Warrior Series:  Vitality

4. Balance Series: Equanimity

5. Triangle Series: Grouding

6. Backbending Series:  Igniting

7. Abdominal Series:  Stability

8. Inversion Series:  Rejuvenation

9. HIp Series:  Opening

10. Forward Bending series:  Release

11. Surrender to Gravity Series:  Deep Rest

 

This is simply wonderful!!   I have separated these series myself, before knowing of Baron’s insights and can wholeheartedly agree his description of what is occurring is absolutely correct!!   Do these in a sequential order and you will find a new light and energy in your body as you dissolve the many walls!!

 

Namaste!

    I love your 8 am yoga show, but can’t follow along while getting the kids off to school. The few minutes I fit in do great things for me, but I want to do it all. Are the 21 episodes you mentioned above on the DVD, Season 1? I looked at the description but can’t tell.

    Hello Deni,
    I have been following Total Body Workout on BYUTV for over one year now, and I feel absolutely wonderful. I bought your Season One DVD’s and when I can’t catch you on TV I take advantage of your yoga practices at my own leisure. I’ve told many friends and family members about your show and they have recently started tuning in.

    Thanks for your show!! We LOVE it.

    I have been trying to develop a workout for myself, since I recently moved and my new TV provider does not carry the BYU network.

    I just stumbled upon the above list of 11 series and find it very interesting. Is there a list of the asanas that make-up each of the series? If so, I would dearly love to find it.

    Hopefully I will soon have a different TV provider and again be able to watch your show.

    Namaste

    Hi Deni!
    I have been recording your Total Body Workout segments for a few months now, and I must say I feel rejuvenated. You are a great instructor, you’ve taught me to respect my body and pay attention to what it is telling me. Thank you so much, you’re an inspiration!

Got something to say?
