60 Minute Vinyasa Yoga Class with Handstand Play - Level 2/3 - Intermediate/Advanced

60 Minute Vinyasa Yoga Class with Handstand Play - Level 2/3 - Intermediate/Advanced - Adho Mukha Vrksasana

The cues are delivered calmly but don't let that fool you. There will be sweat.

In this video we visit a handful of advanced postures and a couple of arm balance sequences. Handstands are sprinkled throughout and there is time for inversion play/practice at the end of the class. Please consider my asana cues suggestions or "invitations". In other words, don't feel like you have to tackle every single posture or sequence today (unless you want to!). Work at the pace that is comfortable and reasonable for your body and spirit at this moment. I have tried to provide alternatives and modifications where appropriate.

You'll notice that the last few minutes of the video consist of a kind of inversion romper room. You can practice along with me as I try out different types of handstand (Adho Mukha Vrksasana) variations, or simply work on the inversion or pinnacle posture that suits you (even if that means fast-forwarding to Savasana :)).

My voiceover, you'll see, is definitely imperfect; but I think (I hope!) I've made strides since my earlier videos. Recording and posting these YouTube classes has been an evolving project for me, and I take all of your comments to heart. Thank you very much for your feedback.

When I first posted a 30-minute video, it was because there were so few long(ish), free classes on the internet. I wanted to meet a need. Since then, hundreds of classes have cropped up on YouTube and it's increasingly possible to find yoga instruction online. Yoga is more available than ever and that can only be a good thing. I really appreciate those of you who continue to watch, subscribe, and comment. Peace | Love | & Yoga On!

"Starting my morning with this! Thank you for always graciously sharing your practice with us!!! I am in ♡ with your style & the challenges you allow me to try!!!!"

"I've started taking your classes and enjoying every moment of the practice in the early morning before heading out for work. Thank you very much. Namaste."

"I find your classes unique and inspiring, They leave me feeling the best version of me."

"I have been loving your classes. Thank you for making them."

"Hi Leigha, I did your first class again (forearm stand) and I feel sooooo good now. Thank you!
I decided to do the whole series one by one again. It has been around 52 classes already, so it will take me some time.
Good on you!"

"The last class (throat chakra) was absolutely amazing. Thank you for your wisdom you share with us. I also really enjoyed nauli pranayama."

"I just did Body Medicine last night and Open Open just now. What lovely wholesome practices, I love how we seamlessly did juicy amounts of good smooth movements, explored new transitions and poses, and worked on splits and compass pose again. 🙂 Feeling wonderful, thank you dear Leigha."

"After the shavasana and the short meditation in the end, I got up off the mat and I experienced an incredible feeling of lightness, as if i was light as a feather, thank you."

"I did handstand class again today. I can feel such a progress in those L-stand hops. The whole class felt much easier than the first time. Thank you Leigha."

"Just did Paradise and Grasshopper… soooo amazing, I finally really feel how incredible and energizing back bends are. Huge smile on my face when I kicked over from the wall.
Thank you again."

"Hey Leigha, I just completed your newest class, Paradise. I feel like I’m on cloud nine. The shavasana in the end felt so blissful. The sensation of bliss so….tangible, it felt like it was sloshing and spreading around in my body, gently tingling and glittering. I was lying on my mat with a big grin of contentment slowly appearing on my face, couldn’t help it. I’m very grateful. Sending my love to you and all the yogis practicing with you."

"I just did Open Hearted, BEAUTIFUL practice, feeling so open and accepting of loving energy built up in my heart. Thank you Leigha!"

"You have added sooo much to my practice that i had to thank you! your pace, instruction, sequencing and the space you allow is magical. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and work."


with love,
Leigha
