Barbara's instructions and verbal adjustments are so clear that the visual support is usually unnecessary, and the practice continues to develop a strong inward attention. You have to stay present and focused, you have to listen. You can't let the mind wander and then look up at the screen to see what everyone else is doing. Practicing with a recording is an interesting experience, and in many ways it's preferable to practicing with a video.They are not intended for beginning students of yoga- for that Barbara has released the excellent DVD Yoga for Beginners, which is available from her website.
Barbara bengah more and more hipspace full#
The poses in each class are separated onto their own track to make it easier to focus on a particular asana, and each full class has a meditation bell to signal its end. These recordings are intended for the strong intermediate yoga student who is familiar with basic families of yoga poses (standing, seated, twists, backbends, inversions, etc.).I recommend reading over the general descriptions and track listings for each set, and finding the poses or areas of study you are most interested in exploring.
Barbara bengah more and more hipspace series#
Though the More and More! series begins with Volume 1 and continues from there, it is not necessary to practice with each volume in sequence to get the maximum benefits from the series.

Even poses one might be very familiar with can seem totally fresh as new themes and nuances are explored and revealed. I felt her classes were often like hearing a great jazz musician on a particularly good night- there was so much to absorb and appreciate in each session that I began to wonder why on earth no one was recording them and making them available to yoga students everywhere! So eventually I approached Barbara with the idea of recording her teaching live, and fortunately, she agreed.Įach class we've recorded of Barbara offers a deep, meditative flow of insightful instruction, metaphor and technique, innovative variations on classic poses, and brilliant sequencing which leads the students into the more difficult asanas in an intelligent way. Barbara Benagh is well known and respected in the yoga community as being a master teacher, and there is a wealth of information, Instruction and a complete bio of Barbara on her website, The Yoga Studio.įrom the very first class I took with Barbara, it was obvious to me that even after well over thirty years of yoga practice and teaching, she still has a passionate sense of curiosity and exploration that continues to lead her deeper into the classic yoga poses (or asanas).
