This is a full-body flow that starts slowly, maintains a sweet and steady pace, and builds heat as you go. Keep breathing deeply and stay curious as you move through a creative standing balance sequence, core work, and a little handstand play if you're in the mood! You'll end with some heart, hip, and hamstring opening on the mat, and melt into a beautiful savanna. Guaranteed to bring back range of motion where it's needed most.
All right, yogis! This is a heat-building, joy-building flow that leads to some deep, big, juicy backbends! We'll be playing with extension and flexion throughout the practice and breathing deeply in so many ways! Expect breath of joy, Tibetan breath, lion's breath, and of course, ujayii breath -- breathe big! We'll play with ustrasana, monkey pose, anjaneyasana variations, and ways to put it all together if it feels right. Sometimes you feel like celebrating.
About twenty minutes of a gentle but deep stretching practice to open every major muscle group so we can sit comfortably and approach our breathing practice. Pranayama and meditation for the last twenty minutes, noticing the part of us that perceives and the things we're perceiving -- without getting caught up too much in the perceiver -- meaning whatever feelings we're having about the things we're observing.
Who are you under all the things you know?
A deep reset for anytime you need one. We begin with conscious, deep breathing and grounding awareness of sensation. Some yin-style opening before we get on our feet for some very gentle, slow-moving, mindful flow, lots of forward folding, shoulder-opening, love for your hamstrings and hips. When we get back on the floor, we'll go deeper into the hips, shoulders and hamstrings, and end with some restorative heart-opening. If you need a nervous system reset, some healing and self-soothing, and a balm for whatever ails you, this is it. Two blocks, a strap and a couple of bolsters or couch pillows may be helpful.
Oh hey there! Let's play with standing splits, handstands, Lord of the Dance pose, backbends, our quadriceps, standing balance, balance on our hands, and how to stay balanced in this upside down world, shall we? It's going to be fantastic. Grab a couple of blocks and have a wall handy!
