Ardha Uttanasana / Halfway Lift — Stacy Dockins

This is a Half-way lift variation with Airplane wings. I like to teach this variation as it strengthens the back and core musculature. This is great for countering the biomechanics of sitting. Halfway Lift is the dynamic link between Forward Fold and Mountain pose in many vinyasa sequences. Vinyas

Stacy began practicing yoga in 1997 and has passionately made it her life's work ever since. She is a life-time learner and researcher, especially in the areas of the human body, biomechanics, meditation and mindfulness. She is currently working on her first book, Embodied Posture. She loves teaching her weekly yoga & meditation classes along with mentoring yoga teachers from across the globe. She also co-teaches the online course: The Science & Practice of Yoga through EdX.org.

Plants, nature, books, her 3 children Jake, Kera, Luke, husband Dave, and her dog Buster are the main loves of her life. Stacy also holds a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science from Texas A&M University-class '94 and completed the pre-med track of courses in 2012 at University of Texas Arlington.
