Linda demonstrates an adaptation of “Hunting Dog” – a Gold Star Pose because it strengthens the spine, hips, balance, and it is contralateral movement (opposite arm/leg), which is how we walk
Find more stability and ease in movement
Functional stability is the ability to stay supported and steady as you move. It matters when you walk, reach, balance, or move from one position to another.
In this workshop, I’ll guide you through a selection of “Gold Star Poses”: yoga poses chosen to support useful, everyday movement. We’ll explore ways to adapt them to your abilities, starting where you are.
What we’ll explore
Strength and support: Poses that strengthen the muscles supporting your spine, shoulders, core, and hips.
More ease in movement: Practices that invite chronically tight muscles to release.
Time to settle: Breathwork and relaxation to help you unwind.
You’ll receive a PDF of the practice to support your continued exploration at home.
If you’d like to understand how your yoga practice can support steadier, more comfortable movement, this workshop offers a place to begin.
