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.

The Ins and Outs

Welcome to another class of twists: spine mobility and back health!

In twists we work with the spine and the action of ‘lengthening’ is to create space between the vertebrae. When there’s a lack of space our spine tends to slump or get stuck and our energy levels drop. Through twisting SAFELY we lengthen the spine and get space between the bones. Then our energy can flow better.

Have at least one block ready. Breathe in hope, breathe out negativity…

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.

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!
