Rice Lake Yoga for "YOU"



The Sun Breath
Stand in Tadasana or Mountain Pose. Bring your arms up around the sides
of your body as you inhale(keeping your shoulders back and down and
your feet rooted to the earth)standing tall and breathing deep. With the
palms of your hands together above your head, hold your breath for 2-3
seconds, then slowly bend forward from your hips (bending your knees if you
need to) while your hands and arms swing forward with hands on the floor
in a forward bend as you slowly exhale. We are going to do a modified
Sun Breath here. So now, just make an intention in-between your exhale
and the next inhale. (example: I am confident, happy and alert!)
Then, bring that intention up with your inhale as your arms sweep along the sides
of your body bringing your palms together above your head again. Hold your
breath for another 2-3 seconds stating your 'intention'. From here bring
your hands down and around to 'namaste' in front of your heart as you
slightly bow your head. Namaste' means the "Inner Light in Me, Honors
Inner Light in You". Practice the Sun Breath as many times you like and feel
refreshed and ready to begin a beautiful day or a relaxing evening.
NOTE: BREATHE deep and release tension on the exhalation.

YOGA FOR UNITED

Yoga Forward Bend
Try this~~~
Sit on the floor ---legs out in front of you. Slowly relax your
head down toward your legs while you place your hands gently on the
floor---this is a relaxing, rejuvenating forward bend.
Allow your body to melt with each exhalation. Take about
3 -5 slow breaths and sink and release tension with each out-breath.

Forward bends are great for your body, mind & spirit----
Just breath the number of breaths you are comfortable with and
Then slowly---slowly come up again as you inhale~~~
Bringing your head down helps you feel more invigorated and alive~~~
as long as you don’t stay down too long for YOU!

Yoga for sinus: Any inversion will help.  Most people opt for downward dog or dolphin.
 
Neti will also work, but your student could wet a Q-tip with tap water and swab the outer edge of the nostrils gently. 
 
There is a saline water spray, but it smells like plastic. 
 
Passively inhaling steam is good, because many of us in Northern climates have dry heat.

Any time you do inversions, this is a help with many head problems,
but you must contact your physician first.
