Let’s Open The Front Body

As we slowly get ready for spring, this class will help you to open your front body while strengthening you’re back body! We will open and complete the class with short meditation so get ready with your cushions.

  • Two blocks and a bolster is suggested for this practice.

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.

Space Element – The Art of Expanding

In this class, we have come to our final element of the five: Ether (Space) Element

Space element is the place where everything happens and it connects all the other elements. In its most subtle form, it is the place before everything happens. The qualities of Space reflect that. It is still because it lacks the movement of Wind. It is cold because it lacks the heat of Fire. It is dry because it lacks the moistness of Water, and it is light because it lacks the weight of Earth. It is the place that is nowhere and so it is expansive, pervasive, and has no center.

The affirmations I deeply feel connected to Space element are:

I play in my imagination.
I create my reality.
I know and speak my truth.

Fire Element – The Art of Manifestation

Welcome to the 3rd element – Fire

This is the home of will power, commitments, goals, strength and manifestations. The essence of this element is deeply connected with the Third Chakra which is the solar plexus area- the stomach area.

Fire Eelement is important for our joy and our ability to be passionate and optimistic in life. It gives meaning to our relationships with others and allows us to express ourselves fully.

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.

Natarajasana – Lord of the Dance Pose

An experience of a standing, balancing, back bending asana (posture) also known as the dance of Shiva ( The Hindu God who represents transformation).

The sequence is very purposeful from the very beginning towards this experience in Natarajasana. If you normally find standing balancing shapes quite challenging, please practice that portion of the class near a wall space so you can use one hand on the wall for an extra support.
