Wrapped for 2025! A restoring practice with breath stretches and nurturing movements. Add cosy socks, jumpers, blankets so you feel wrapped. Props: a cushion, 1 block, a yoga strap/belt and a roll up of a small towel/t-shirt.
A set class to create space in the back body - finish feeling stretched and blissfully calm. When the lower back is chronically turned on, it impacts the breath as well as the discomfort it brings.
Freeing up the hips, QL (lower back) and stepping onto your mat in body, mind and breath. Life catches us out and takes our energy away and this is a reminder you can bring it back to what you know makes you feel grounded and rooted in you. A lovely 2 sequence flow and breathwork.
Moving with the intention to slow down and reminds us to take pause in our life to calm our nervous system. We will open the chest and quads in this class too!
We all need support and in this class we will use the block to give us core support. The ground, earth, the universe and those around us support us and we support them. FEEL the support you have.
A simple but effective way to nourish yourself with breath stretches whilst seated and then in low lunge. Give yourself breathing space in your body, mind and heart.
A slow class to open the back of the body and reminds use to feel soothed physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. Choose how you need to feel soothed and enjoy this one.
Meditation is less about TRYING to clear you mind but more about taking time to close the eyes and see what happens, no pressure, nothing to see here :)
The hip joint is a BIG mover joint and needs to move in a variety of ways. We explore movement in the hip, stretch through the inner thighs and the back of the hips.
Stretch the backs of the legs and fronts of hips after walking or standing and feel the delight in your hips and legs! A gentle movement class suitable for all. Use a yoga strap / scarf / something you can grab your foot with.
Yoga for when you're feeling quiet, processing or don't want to move. That's ok, we all get like this. Come sit in ANY comfy postion as you needn't move from there.
Remembering to get into our bodies and out of our minds with Earth Salutations inspired by Uma Dinsmore. A nurturing class of 30 minutes, there is a 45 min class if you prefer a longer one.
Recorded whilst teaching live. Remembering to get into our bodies and out of our minds with Earth Salutations inspired by Uma Dinsmore. A nurturing class. Note; I did miss the standing up knee to chest on the last side...do add it in yourself! :)
Vritti's can translate to 'mind stuff' that we all have and we can merge body-breath-mind together and let thoughts pass by without entertaining them. A gentle all over body flow to hone in on the breath.
Props; have a block/cushion. Bolster/pillows. Blanket/sheet of paper that can slide along the floor. Functional yoga meets feeling restored in the breath and the hips with this gentle mobilising practice, I hope you love it.
Props; a rolled up blanket or towel and 2 blocks and/or cushions. Unwind as we use the hands and props to create length in the side body and QL at the lower back. Your breath will be fuller and less restrictive after a calm practice.
Gentle movement for the shoulders and neck that strength and mobilise. Relaxation is around 10-12 minutes so get all your comforts and enjoy! A yoga block or book will be needed for the first part of the class.
A short really nourishing practice for the shoulders. Note - I had to end the relaxation as I made an error but you can continue to pause after eagle arms if needed :)
Props; 2 blocks or cushions Strap or alternative (don't worry if you don't have it) Bolster or pillows Gentle movements before holding still will help you to feel the balance between steadiness and ease, in sanskrit, sthria and sukha.
Starting with relaxing breath release over a rolled up yoga mat to swirling arm twist. Expand your breath further in a gentle low lunge with use of the block. This was a dreamy class to teach.
11 minutes An insert from the 'untethered soul' and 'body of the world' by Donna Farhi to remind us that we are not our thoughts, we're not the stress of them but we're apart of a bigger picture and 'something is always falling into place'
Open your heart in all the ways. Props; - Strap or something you can hold the foot with. - 2 cushions or 2 blocks. - 1 block or a foam roller or not too hard small ball.
Twists are wonderful for counterposing life and help us to feel calmer. Locate the side core muscles that help you to twist from your centre and strengthen the breathing muscles. Feel centred yet strong from within.
Practice inhaling + exhaling + holding the breath out for the same count to calm the nervous system. Always work with what feels comfortable, if you need to reduce the length or the hold out, that's ok.
Restrictions in the fascia of the back restrict the breath. In prone position, you will use a rolled up yoga mat to alleviate tightness in the QL, T6-T8 and the lats.
