Yoga on the RumbleRoller for Deep Stretching with Lesley Fightmaster and Dina Kleiman

Yoga on the RumbleRoller is great for deep stretching. Dina Kleiman has a RumbleRoller certification and is a master trainer. Dina focuses on techniques to smooth out the connective tissue in the lower body. If you don't have a RumbleRoller, you can use a regular styrofoam roller or a rolled up towel or blanket. A rolled up towel or blanket would probably work best if you wrap some string around it to help hold it's shape.

Yin Yoga for Deep Stretching with Lesley Fightmaster

This Yin Yoga for Deep Stretching class has been the most requested class yet!  This deep stretch class is very meditative.  If you practice this 2 to 4 times per week, you'll be amazed at the increase in flexibility you experience.  The poses are held for 3-5 minutes.  You may find it very challenging to hold poses this long at first, but as you continue, you may choose to push the pause button for longer holds.  As always, listen to your body and use as many props as you wish to make the pose more comfortable.  You can always remove props as you hold the pose or as you practice more frequently. This sequence is inspired by Sarah Powers and her practice tips are: first, come into a pose at your appropriate edge, next become still as you would in meditation, finally, stay for a while. You can increase your holds as you continue to practice.  Please subscribe and like this video (if you do) and tell your friends about Free Yoga Classes! :-)
