August Drills!!!

This month I had a hard time narrowing it down to 3 so, here are 4 drills for the month!



  1. Anjaneyasana Dips to Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana D

*Start in Anjaneyasana (High Lunge) with your right leg forward like in Virabahdrasana (Warrior), your left leg/foot in a plank position, heal above the ball of your foot, hands on pelvis.

*Exhale dip your back knee towards the floor without touching while keeping the front knee relatively over the ankle.

*Inhale back up. 5 reps.

*Inhale bring your back leg through to Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana D (Extended Hand To Big Toe Pose) for 3 breaths. 

-Repeat at least once more before switching sides.



  1. Shallow Navasana, Ankle Touches

*Find a solid Navasana (Boat Pose) with bent or straight legs. If this is challenging then this is the drill! Stay here and breathe.

*Lower the torso and legs about halfway to the floor and come into a shallow boat.

*Inhale, touch your ankles. 

*Exhale, back to shallow boat. 

*Repeat to your hearts’ desire.



  1. Funky Oblique Crunch

*Starting on hands and knees, hands shoulder width apart, legs hip width apart.

*Left forearm to the floor. Right hand stays, the arm will bend. Keep the right elbow in line with the wrist and shoulder.

*Inhale, lift the right leg up parallel to the floor keeping it straight, pointed foot.

*Exhale crunch the knee towards the right shoulder. Squeeze the bottom of the right foot towards the right glutes.

*Repeat as many times as you think you should. 

-Repeat on the left side. 



  1. Plank Leg Lifts

*Starting from a high plank (flat hands unless you need to modify for an injury).

*Exhale kick the back of your right heel up towards the ceiling while keeping the leg long and straight. Be sure to keep the right glutes active.

*Inhale to lower back down but keep your foot slightly off the floor. 

*Exhale, kick it up again.

*Repeat as many times as you can while maintaining a solid plank.

-Keep in mind that you get to do that amount of time on the other side.


Happy August!
