Snow Day Yoga Sequences
Here's a repost from last winter to help get you through the storm day. Feel better in your body with movement or long held still postures in the second sequence. This is great for kids too.
Many of the pictures have been borrowed from other sources and will be found if you google the posture name and search images. Some are my own, taken by Dylan Verner and Julie Bernier.
My schedule is on the google calendar on this blog. Check the post prior to this one and scroll over each event for details.
This Sunday, Yoga Nidra guided mediation for Veterans begins at Portland (Maine) Community Squash at 66 Noyes Street. Spouses of Veterans are also welcome to attend this donation class. Dress comfortable and prepare to rest in one restorative posture while I guide the meditation. For any info you need, email me robinivy88@gmail
To recharge, stretch and activate those muscles:
Child Pose
Cobra
Upward Dog
Locust Pose
Step into a Forward fold.
Half Moon Stretch Left and Right
Crescent Lunge & Twists Left and Right
Legs Up
Continue with
Legs Up*
(see images for both in the first sequence)
Here's hoping the storm passes with minimal inconvenience and safety and warmth for all!

Child Pose

Toes can tough while knees are wide by the ribcage. Rock your head side to side to loosen the neck and soothe the forehead. (image from Yin Yoga website) |
Cobra

Activate all your strength in the legs, abs and back. Drag the hands toward the ribs rather than pushing down into the floor. Do this pose a few times in a row inhaling as you open the chest. |
Upward Dog
Locust Pose
Step into a Forward fold.

Bend your knees as much as needed to take your hips over your heels. Feet can be further apart than this picture shows. Feet Under Hips. (image by Earth Angel Arts) |
Crescent Lunge & Twists Left and Right
![]() |
Keep the back heel lifted. From here reach up with straight arms. |

Create the twist with one elbow to the opposite thigh, hands press together. You can make one into a fist if it hurts the wrists (images by Dylan Verner) |
Legs Up

You don't need a wall. You can flatten your hands under your low back with palms face down as one option. |

Triangle Pose (images by Earth Angel Arts photographed at Sunflower Farm Creamery outdoor yoga in 2016) This triangle pose is a selfie that maybe shows the legs and feet more clearly |
