Full Body Conditioning Flow

Hello, my name's James D'Silva, and today I'm going to take you through some Garuda conditioning, yes? Welcome, and I'll need you to have a set of ankle weights. Maybe just any plain weights. And what I tend to do is I fold them into a little packet. You know, I'm just going to fold that through.

So that my hand can slip in, and my palm can slip in. And my thumb is vacant and free as the other side as well. Going to do a lot of arm and leg work today, so get ready to work hard. Also, have a chair present, just beside you, because sometimes I'm going to to ask you to lean one of the arms over it, so you can do a bit of rhomboid work and such. So, there we go.

Get your hands through, nicely kind of placed through, and your thumbs reaching out, right? Always ready to hitch a lift, kind of feeling. Get feet parallel. And I'm going to start with shoulder circles, just plain and simple circles. Back, one.

And two. And let the breath be natural. Three, yeah. I always tell myself, out breath equals effort. So every time, effort, I breathe out.

I make it natural. Four, and five. Good. And six and seven and eight. And again, the other way.

I bring it back, wrap and I come through. So bend. Open. I'm not going to bring my arms back. I'm going to circle from the elbow and come back.

That's going to be more functional. Open, turn the palms, wrap, push back. And again, bend, open and push back. And again, lengthen, open, from the thumb, elbows lift, armpits, elbows, heel of the hands, fingers. Again, breathing in, hitch a lift, thumb turns, armpits, elbows, heel of the hands.

Nice work, guys. Good. Now, this time I want your hands through, again. Lie on your back. Again, feel the total expanse of your arms.

Your feet are really instrumental in all the work ahead, because I actually work all my work from the feet up. You don't only plant your feet, but you actually move through them. I always think of the front of my heels moving towards my toes to instigate the move. That pushing action, yeah? And the pulling is the back of my heels, gently pulling towards myself.

Starting out with your arms wide, feel the space between the shoulder blades. And I want you to gently push the feet on the floor. Fingers move up and you close the arms for one. But let the work start from the feet and then you soften the feet. Feet push, feel the back widen, and then close for two.

And back. Feet, three. That lower belly to really draw up and roll up. Four. And open it and five.

And six. Beautiful. And seven, good. Last one through. And eight.

Now open the left arm out, and push from the left foot. One, good. Especially from the outside of the left foot. Two, good. And three.

Good. And then we think of the middle finger reaching out to open the arm back out, think of the scapula widening. Middle finger coming in, widening. And foot. And widen.

Foot, arm. And widen. Foot, arm, open the other arm out. And bring the foot. Let the foot keep the impetus to move through the back into the arm.

And four, good. And foot, five. You feel it all the way, if you do it properly, you feel it all the way up into the occipital, yeah? As the foot pushes you, feel the length up into the occipital. Two more.

And seven. Last one through. Eight. Open that right arm back out again. Keep it out to the side, off the floor.

And the left arm opens and closes, but we use the right foot this time. The opposite foot to give you the impetus to close. So we're working for the oblique now. You'll feel a slight kind of connection into the left oblique as you work through. And four, good.

If you push the right foot, and close the left arm, you'll feel the left oblique kind of come into play. Six. And seven. And eight. Open it out, change sides, yeah.

And close, and one. Good. And you'll feel that wow, it's my right oblique that works, if I push from my left foot in and across. And, all right, the left oblique will also come in, no doubt, but you'll suddenly feel that connection, yeah? Into the oblique as well.

And six, good. And seven, good. And eight, good. Take the right arm up, out to the side and close. Let's just do a few of these.

Up and side and close. Up, side and close. Up, side. Go up, go down and open. Up, cut it down.

And open. Up, you'll feel the left oblique all the way through, and really grounding you. And back and close. Now, left arm. And open.

And you'll feel if you push the right foot, you'll feel the right oblique come into play. Out and center. Pull, reach and up. And the other way around. Up, down and center.

Up, it's grounding you, yes? And center. Up, down and open. Up, down and open. Bring the arms up, good.

Left arm goes up, as it opens out to the side the right arm goes up. As the left arm closes the right arm goes out to the side. As the left arm goes up the right arm comes back to center. And side, and close. And up, and side, and close.

Adjust for a moment, 'cause I'm gonna do a bit of abdominal work with the arms. Clasp your hands behind your head, just to remind you the position of your head. I normally do this in every class. Elbows close into parallel, support the back of the head and give traction. Then you roll the head forward with your hands, lean the head into your hands and look into the navel, good.

'Cause that's gonna be the right position for the head. Your gaze is very important. Roll the head back tall, and you widen here. Breathe in, and breathe out. Breathe in, and breathing out.

Again, breathing in, breathing out. Maybe extend the legs out, drag the heels in, roll the head back, and widen, good. Breathe in and out, good. Drag the heels in, roll back and widen. Maybe close and out, good.

Pull them in, and out. Keep the elbows out to the side this time and roll the head up with the legs. Open the knees out wide, and roll back. And pull, because that's what we're going to do to the arms. Open the knees out, up and close.

One more time. Open the knees out, and let's reverse it. Open the knees out, reach, parallel, drag back. And open the knees out, reach, parallel, drag back. Last one.

And two, rotate, out, in. Pull it out, stretch, parallel and back. And three, and out, in. Rotate, go long, parallel, and down. Last one, reach and out, in.

Open it up, good, rotate and come back. Good. Sit back again, very tall. And you're gonna arch, curl the toes under, move into a Chaturanga plank, push into the downward dog position, come forward in plank, Chaturanga, bend the knees, point the feet and push back, four of these. And come forward, chest, curl the toes, Chaturanga, plank, push into downward dog, push forward and front plank, Chaturanga, bend, arch and curl.

And arch, curl down, plank, push back, come forward, plank, bend, arch, and curl, last one. And curl up, push, and plank. Come forward, wrap and down, knees, arch and sit back, you have arrived. Good work guys, all right, let's take the weights off. I'm gonna take you to a small stretch.

Good. Really good work. We've worked the arms and legs and the abdominals come in play, now to start with, if you can't cross your, if you can't have ankle over knee, knee over ankle, doesn't matter, just have your legs crossed. But I end up with my knee on my ankle, and my ankle on my knee and I'm just gonna start rocking from side to side. Rock and then slowly, take the body forward and out.

And again, you rock the ribs from side to side. Give yourself a good stretch. Breathe into the back ribs. Always set aside a little bit of time to stretch, it's so important after all that hard work. Then from the elbows into the knees, lift the heart and lift the chest.

Pushing your hands into the floor, around the back, curve, deep into the crumbled head, down to the floor and pull up. Again reach the arms all the way forward. Coming up, grab hold of the left wrist, grab the left shoulder down the floor and you twist and the other side and grab the other right shoulder down and you twist. Coming out of there, for me it's my right leg, whichever leg was on top, it's my right leg and I'm gonna move towards it and go for a really nice long stretch and then coming out of it, landing across to the other side and just moving into a stretch and so I want to lift the hip up, and I want to glide the hip down. Up and down.

Up and down, brilliant. And all the time I'm gonna keep that movement and roll around to the front. What feels like pigeon stretch. Good, rock, maybe I'll come up and I'll stretch, with that back leg, reach out to that back leg, because I've done so much of good work. As I come down to stand, roll the shoulder across, grab hold of it and twist.

If you're feeling adventurous, bend the back knee, grab hold of the ankle and pull it into your buttock. Taught, breathe and let go, come out of there. And in that safe position, roll around, get the shoulder down, reach it out and then maybe move into prep, think of this back leg, reach it out, roll in front here and a new twist. Keep reaching it out. And in your own time, roll up, wrap that leg around.

Get that nice opening, good, and let's change sides. Brilliant, this time, maybe have the left leg in front. And again we'll rock. We'll rock from side to side and get that opening as great as we can. Moving through and then I lean forward and down, big stretch, get the armpits all the way forward, breathe into your back.

Maybe move the ribs from side to side. Then pull the elbows into your knees, lift the heart and lift the chest. Push into your hands, round the back curve, deep, head towards the shins. Pull the sternum forward again, reach all the way up. Coming out of it, grab hold of the right wrist and twist.

Breathe, get that shoulder to come down and twist. And change sides, good, and grab hold of the left and open and twist. Come out of it. And then raise slowly, open that left leg out to the side, in my case it's the left leg and gently, pulling out, grab hold of it and go for a really nice long stretch. Open, feel the ribs around if you can.

Down and around and then move across the other side. And glide it back. Just that gliding action, groan so you move out of the waist and then reaching around, twist, think of that back leg again. Reaching out taught, roll into the hip, then when you're ready, grow out of it, move into that nice pidgeony feel, very tall, then coming down, send the arm through and twist, roll all the way to the shoulder. Maybe bend the knee, hip and push that hip down, far down as you can, twist, breathe into the back.

Let go. And coming out of it. Shoulder comes across, and first lengthen it out, it's always best to lengthen it out, get that hip also to rotate and then move into your prayer. And then rotate, open the leg out, good, and maybe open the other leg out. Good and just circle the feet around, just both feet circle one and two, three, yeah, and four.

Five, and six, go the other way around, one, two, good, so much abductor work, four, five, six. Bend, stretch. Follow these, grow out of the leg, and three, good. This leg stays constant, four and five. Go the other side, one, good.

Reach out, two, good. And three, go out of the leg, four, and five. Good and good, and then very slowly just allow yourself to rock back and forth. Into your pelvic hipbones, rocking and back. Out, slow and good.

And then if you can, very slowly, just place the elbows down, softly and do it again, rocking forward, rocking sway allows you to go away, again don't push yourself, allow yourself to go with what feels comfortable for the day. And good, moving up. Slowly get the legs in. Open them out, rock from side to side, close them in, and go into windscreen wipers. In out, in out, in out, in out and then go side, side, side, side, side, side.

All go. Brilliant and let the ribs also go. Any tension in the rib cage gone. And good. Guys, that was a body conditioning class, Garuda body conditioning class, I hope you liked it.

I hope you persevered through it for one thing and yeah, again you don't have to use the weights for all that work, do it without the weights to start with. But we worked through most of the bits and pieces that we needed to work on, which was all the big kind of muscles and also for the smaller muscles. Please take your time, enjoy it and keep coming back to class. Yes, it's very important that you keep working for yourselves. Thank you so much, thank you for joining me.
