Play in the Pool During the Prolonged Pandemic Protocols

Here's some pool yoga moves to keep you cool in the pool as continue your health and safety protocols during the pandemic!

Strengthen with Warrior 1 Yoga Posture:  Connect the feet to the bottom of the pool, one foot forward, one foot back.  Belly button forward as you bend the forward knee and extend arms to the sky.  Remember you can bend your elbows, like a cactus, to create more space between your shoulder and ears.  Warrior 1 strengthens your shoulder, arms, legs, and back and energizes your entire body.

Balance with Tree Yoga Posture:  Root one foot into the bottom of the pool while placing the heel of the other foot on top of the balancing foot, kickstanding beside it, or bringing the sole of the foot to the side of the balancing leg below or above the knee.  Hands can be palms together, thumbs to heart or reaching to the sky.  Balancing in tree pose improves your concentration and focusing skills.

S-t-r-e-t-c-h with Dancer Yoga Posture: Secure your balancing foot to the pool floor and bend the opposite leg, reaching to the ankle with the same side hand.  Your balancing leg hand stretches forward as reach your belly button to the pool floor. Hips are square.  Dancer pose develops greater flexibility in your spine, shoulders, and hamstrings.

We can do hard things, Yogi Friends! Take care of you and yours~Namaste!
