Yoga with Your Boots On Practice Videos

Welcome. I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce you to my Yoga with Your Boots On Practice Videos. These videos are the perfect daily companion to your construction work. Each yoga video was filmed on the job site, which is where you can practice these stretches. Practicing these stretches will help to relieve muscle pains and stiffness in your shoulders, arms, back, ham strings, neck.

This introduction is designed to present the different poses in the sequence that follows. Watch all of the videos before practicing any of the poses. After watching all of the videos, choose a particular posture/pose that you believe would help you and follow the directions as best as you are able, including each small detail. The plum bob 1 and 2 are particularly important. All the poses and benefits are based on an understanding of the Plumb Bob and its actions. All future advanced poses will use these fundamentals to build upon.
