Pose of the week: Low Lunge

Blog, Yoga

You will come across low lunge in a lot of yoga classes. Read below on how to get into the pose and watch the video here.

Instructions:

  • Starting an all fours, step your right foot in between your hands, ensuring that your right knee is directly over your right ankle
  • Hug your thighs together and move the weight off your hands and come onto your finger tips
  • You can stay here or if you want to, inhale your arms over your head and come into a crescent lunge, ensuring that you release your shoulders away from your ears.

Tips on how to do it:

  • Shoulders away from your ears
  • Front Knee should be either directly over the front ankle or slightly behind it
  • To improve balance practice this pose facing a wall. Press the big toe of the front foot against the wall and stretch your arms up, finger tips to the wall.

Things to avoid:

  • Front knee in front of your front ankle
  • Shoulders by your ears

Benefits:

  • Strengthens the quadriceps and gluteus muscles
  • Stretches the psoas and hips
  • Relieves sciatica pain
  • Expands your chest, lungs and shoulders
  • Develops stamina and endurance in your thighs
  • Improves your balance, concentration and core awareness
  • Calms the mind

Yoga with Jen

Hi lovely,

I’m Jen and I’m a Yoga teacher and Transformation Coach. I help women worldwide heal from the inside out and find their true self. 

This can either be through the combination of Yoga and RTT programmes or through my 28 day RTT programmes. RTT is super effective and mixes hypnosis, NLP and CBT to deal with the root cause. Within just one session deep healing can occur, that creates everlasting change.

Love,

Jen x

I had my first ever reiki session with Jen, she came to my house and was brilliant at introducing me to the practice and helping to create a calm space. She has a lovely energy about her and is so warm and friendly. Will book again and would definitely recommend!read more

I recently had the pleasure of taking part in one of Jen’s online live yoga classes! As a busy mum of two small children and a business owner I find it quite a challenge to factor in time for myself and to partake in exercise to empower my mind and body! Jen’s class was everything I needed and more, the ability to tune in of an evening after the kids were asleep from the comfort of my home was fantastic; it enabled me to have some much needed “me” time without the hassle. Despite being an online class, I felt the presence and support of Jen through out and felt confident and comfortable to fulfil the elements of the class. I’d highly recommend Jen’s online classes to everyone, and especially those with time or other restrictions!read more

I've attended Jen's yoga class in Brighton on Saturday morning. I found the atmosphere friendly, relaxing and calming. I loved the choice of music. It was my first time trying yoga. The class was challenging but enjoyable at the same time. I've left the studio feeling stretched, happy, balanced and with a clear mind. I would highly recommend Jen and I definitely will come back.read more

I tried Jen’s Saturday morning class (Brighton) a couple of weeks back after a friend recommended it. I really liked Jen’s gentle temperament and ability to put you at ease. The yoga and meditation itself was great - I left the class feeling balanced, challenged and stretched! I also thought the selection of music during the class was lovely. Highly recommend and will be going back when I’m next in Brighton! :)read more

Just completed the three week Pregnancy Yoga course. I found it helped with the aches and pains of pregnancy and I have left with a sequence of poses and exercises to use throughout. Jen is a lovely lady, good instructor and made the classes enjoyable. Thanks Jen for a lovely three Saturday mornings and I hope to see you again soon for more � .read more

Attended the September Heart Centred Workshop and left feeling so much mentally stronger, calmer and more in control and with a huge smile on my face, ready to face the world again. Jen's teaching style was relaxed and fun, helping all to make the most of the class. Would definitely attend another one.read more
