Watch the video above to see Scott demonstrate this weighted yoga flow from CorePower’s Yoga Sculpt class, then give it a shot the next time you’re at the gym. All you’ll need is a pair of lightweight dumbbells and about five minutes to run through the sequence three or four times on each side.
A key point to remember here is that the way in which you move between poses is just as important as your form in the poses themselves. Focus your attention fully on each and every movement, being mindful of both your form and the muscles you’re relying on during each component of the sequence.
Ideally, this heightened mindfulness will transfer to your other workouts, decreasing your chance of injury and increasing your awareness, control, and, ultimately, results.
