Mat Matters, Episode 21: Hummingbird Pose

Okay, I think it's time to heat things up a bit.  As it gets colder outside, there's no better way to warm up the body than by doing a few sun salutations, some twisting, and maybe, just maybe, a challenging arm balance or two. 

Enter Hummingbird pose. Or Dragonfly. Or whatever it is that you've heard this pose called (I can't seem to pin down one name, as it's always called something different!). Basically, it's a super fun pose that takes some serious body maneuvering, but in the end, looks much harder than it actually is (I promise!).

In Episode 21 of Mat Matters, I walk you through this pose in a fairly straightforward way--and encourage you to try it . [If it's safe for your body, of course.]

Why not challenge yourself to take flight today?

Happy Hummingbird!

PS. I'm horrified by the clutter and the couch in the corner of this shot, but as you can tell, I'm still trying to figure out where to shoot my videos in our new place. I promise, they'll get more professional again soon. Until then, just bear with me! 

Oh, and keep an eye out for the moment in the video where my foot becomes a holy relic ;)
