At Home Program – Level 4

This is level 4 of YTU® At Home. Celebrate your hard work and consistency, and integrate all the skills you have learned from the previous levels.

Physically these lessons will safely and progressively help you explore an array of poses in sitting, standing, twisting, backbends, core work, and inversions. You will build a strong shoulder to core connection to help you step up your handstand practice.

This is an advanced level of practice, and you may discover that your body is affected on more than the physical level.

Mentally you can develop your skills of concentration and focus by directing your attention to your yogic rhythmic breath. This is a fascinating autonomic physiological skill in which your heartbeat and breathing constantly shift to match your physical and environmental demands.

Emotionally your thoughts can help on this journey. Try to cultivate a supportive internal emotional environment towards yourself. Consider adopting an attitude of non judgement and be a witness to your progress and process. One way to reaffirm this concept in your practice is to use a positively crafted phrase such as, “I find joyful opportunity in every challenge and respond gracefully”.

May those attributes inspire fascination and curiosity in your practice and keep you motivated.
