Low Back-Sensitive Practice

We have a guest in this class, lovely Crista (she is an amazing hair stylist and the owner of Xtophers Hair Saloon) who had a lower back sensitivity that day. So the entire class was designed to support her body and hopefully yours as well!

If you have been sitting long hours and looking for a practice to take care of your lower back while you’re still moving, this class is for you!

Let me know how it goes 🙂

Spring Class – Moving Outward

Happy spring everyone!

This class was recorded Live during my monthly Zoom classes for you!

Spring is the time for us to reach outward, develop deeper roots and remain flexible in the wind. In the body, that means paying attention to your spine, limbs and joints, as well as muscles, ligaments and tendons. You will complete the class supporting your liver and gallbladder in seated postures.

Lower Back Relief

This slow and sweet practice is designed to release tension in your tight lower back and hips. Grab your strap, bolster and get close to a wall space as there is a recommended modification to support your body by using the wall.

Slow & Strong Transitions

We mostly focus on our strength and ease in single postures. In yoga practice, the transitions are as important as the single posture itself. To be able to arrive from one place to another safely, we need to slow down, pay s strong attention and cultivate a deep focus.

Air Element – The Art of Loving

4th Element of the series is Air

In this class we continue our exploration of the five elements. Air element is the source of life: it is our breathe! Located in the heart or the fourth chakra. It’s name in Sanskrit is the Anahata chakra and has the color of vibrant green.  In this class, we will explore the ways to open our front body, elongating our torso as well as still remembering everything we learnt from the Earth, Water and Fire elements.

Urdhva Dhanurasana – Wheel Pose

Backbends/ Heart openers are one of the key posture groups in our yoga practice. In a well-rounded class, usually the practice ends opening your front body with them. We better know how to get in and get out of these shapes properly.

In this class, we will explore using blocks under hands to create more space for shoulders and the arch of the back body as well as stretching quadriceps, shoulders, chest and hip flexors. Play with your own sweet edge, remember to stay with my options.

Neck and Shoulder Relief

Short and sweet practice for pain relief around the neck and shoulders. Take lots of deep breathes and feel free to pause the video to hold the poses longer. Practice anytime during the day!

Energizing Morning Flow

Energizing morning flow to wake up and heat the entire body. Fall is just around the corner and our needs will be different very soon. This practice stretches and strengthens the muscles with a strong focus on breath and body alignment. Start your day with mindful movement to set good intentions for the rest of your day.

What is Yoga?

What is Yoga? What does the word “yoga” actually mean? Is yoga something we “do” or something we just “be”?

Starting Fall (it is almost here), every month I will share with you a word, concept or source to dive deep into Yoga Philosophy. I’m really excited to educate you and also keep learning with you as the philosophical aspect of the practice is very valuable for me. Namaste.
