<p>This 15-minute practice with Alia is a playful, invigorating exploration of poses which can sometimes feel a little uncomfortable. Using what we learned in <a href="https://fwfg.com/programs/tips_and_tricks_for_curvy_folks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Tips and Tricks for Curvy Folks</em>,</a> Alia guides you through a quick-paced flow, showing you how to make adjustments without losing your rhythm. Find comfort in lunges and seated twists; support your body in Shavasana using a blanket or towel; trust yourself to find what your body needs.</p><p><br></p><p>Two blocks and a blanket or towel are used in this video.</p>
Thank you Alia, I’ve found both your practices very helpful! May I make a request for a future video (which you may already have on your list, of course)? I have never been able to step my foot up to be next to my hand, either from a downward dog or a table top position. Do you have tips, suggestions or adjustments that make that more possible while still keepimg the rhythm of the flow, as you did here?

<p>After taking a bit of a tumble on a sheet of ice yesterday, this practice was just what I needed. Thank you, Alia! (I’m ok…just a little sore in my left leg - not to mention the blow to my pride! 😅)</p>

I really enjoyed this flow class! I have s request for a future session - can you suggest a modification for those of us who cannot smoothly bring a leg forward from downward dog into a lunge? I’m 5’ 2” with comparatively short arms & legs and just don’t have room to do that motion in one movement.

I love this one! It made the poses feel so much better! I would love to see more from Alia, please!

Thank you beautiful Alia. Really enjoyed this practice a lot. Do you have any tips on getting your back leg from down dog through to a lunge please? I cant do it in one go and have to heave my leg through. Namaste and thank you so much 💜🕊🙏

I kero coming back to this one. I love it so much! It actually gets harder, because i am able to really concentrate on getting the position right and feeling it rather than just trying to get near it. I look forward to more of these!

What a happy gentle energy from Alia!🌷 I'm almost 7 months pregnant, and the bump gets on the way. 🙈 So I'll be definitely adding some of these variations to my regular practice. As there, unfortunately, aren't many prenatal yoga videos here 😕 (Can we get some please? 😊🤰🏽)
I really enjoyed Alia as a teacher and will be looking out for more videos with her. 🙌

I’m a bony flat chested girl and still thought this was wonderful! You have such a sweet and inclusive spirit, and your cuing is great! I purposely listened to your first video last night, and I’m so glad I tried this one this morning! Ill be sharing it with my curvy daughter, and watching for more from you! Thank you, Alia, Adriene, and FWFG team!🧡
