weighted splits in-the-air flow yoga

Athletic workout with Bell ankle & hand weight wraps with velcro, powering up, building energy with inversions, synchronizing breath with movement.

Freeform freestyle dynamic stretching focusing on acclimating to weights in handstands, splits in the air, rotator cuff exercise, & fun flexing (posing). Makes me feel lightweight & buoyant when weights are removed! First impressions, I like & see benefit of using on regular basis to improve strength, flexibility & balance.

Some unintentional seesaw over-correcting of balance going on with legs, lever action feels different than habitual. Just a little extra weight on end of limbs throws a wrench in the mix & alters kinetics, but fun to explore.

Heyy I was wondering how i can get my leg more straightened when i do the move at 0:42 because i really want to use it in a dance. and does it have an actual name?? :) Thanks so much! :)

Commonly called "three legged downdog" in my circle of yogi friends, try lowering airborne leg to straighten until you get better proficient hip flexibility, otherwise jack it up high *like mine bent also in poor form!* but i only worry about inner alignment, not outer *sorry!

I saw your contortion light stretching video that had some awesome stretching technique using the wall that look like could help me too!

Thanks for posting words of encouragement!

Thanks, I am mostly loving the extra "gravity assist" weights provide.
