For Cleo, yoga is a means of centring herself and enhancing her balance and flexibility rather than only an exercise.
“I love how yoga grounds me,” Cleo notes. “This is a means of connecting with your body and developing flexibility and strength.”
1. Downward Dog for Stretching and Strength
Beginning her practice with downward dog, a traditional yoga stance extending the whole body, Cleo “It’s fantastic for opening the shoulders and lengthening the hamstrings,” she says. To get the whole advantage, hold for thirty seconds then inhale deeply.
2. Warrior Poses for Balance and Stability
Cleo loves the warrior poses for strengthening stability and balance. “These poses increase your general balance and strengthen your legs.” Try 30 seconds on each side holding Warrior I and Warrior II.
3. Tree Pose for Emphasis
To improve focus and balance, Cleo enjoys working on tree posture. “Although it’s a basic pose, it truly helps you remain grounded,” she explains. Rising tall, bring one foot to your inner thigh and hold for thirty seconds on both sides.
4. Savasana for Resting
Cleo always finishes her practice in the profound relaxation posture known as savasana. “It’s my time to just breathe and release tension,” she says.
To totally relax, lie flat on your back, close your eyes, and stay in this position for five minutes.
