I started this practice with some work on core awareness and supportive breathing. As we went though the standing poses we revisited twists while connecting with our core. Focusing on the core while twisting heats up the body from the inside.

Work on preparations for Dancer pose in this class with Becca, including backbends, lunges, and shoulder stretches. After the flow we set up for a 10-12 minute Shavasana.

The focus for this class is strengthening and stretching our shoulders. We work towards a peak pose of Dolphin (or Forearm stand for those that want to). In order to be comfortable and breathe in Dolphin we have to work with our shoulders to become both strong and flexible. There is a balance bet...

In today’s class we will focus on strengthening, moving, and elongating the thoracic spine (the area below the neck). We will start with shoulder work to unlock the spine, and then move into slow moving Sun Salutations with variations. As we move into the standing flow we will continue to lengthe...

In this class I combined the breathing and awareness we’ve been practicing over the last month of classes and focused on deepening our awareness in backbending. Props if you have them: chair, blanket, big exercise ball.

In this practice I remind us to pause and feel how our breath moves our body. We can follow the breath and feel how our breathing creates small subtle movements.

Work on strengthening and lengthening in the side body throughout this practice. Get outside of the front/back plane and strengthen your spine in a different way.

In this class I work on the play of energy between the hands and feet when they are grounded. We use the wall for warm-ups and then move into a standing flow series. Detail work on Downward Dog using a blanket and a strap.

I started with a longer warm-up for this class in order to prepare the body for the challenging standing twists. Start with floor warm-ups and exercises, then practice a longer standing flow. Stretch out the hips to finish.

Open the side body and length the spine with this twisting focused practice. Use a chair or a wall for specific preparations for Revolved Triangle. Standing flow and stretches also included.

Gently work and stretch the whole front body in preparation for some Camel variations. Use a chair for some specific Camel preps.

Work on coming in and out of some of the standing poses with a focus on core stability and getting grounded. A back bending series is also included along with sitting stretches.
