Winter Yoga Routine
(15 mins)
Here's a short, gentle Yoga Routine for Winter time (or anytime!)
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Winter is associated with the Kidney & Bladder Meridian (Channels). This routine helps improve the flow of Qi (energy) along these channels, as well as helping to increase your back strength & flexibility, if done regularly.
I've done approx 4 - 6 repetitions of each movement. Once you are familiar with the movements & you would like to increase the difficulty, just add more repetitions.
My apologies for any confusion with my "right & left leg" instructions. You can just do the side that I am instructing, rather that what I am demonstrating. Even after all these years of teaching & filming, on occasions I still get mixed up, as some video making tech reverses what you see! 😄
