Hello, yogis! So happy to be with you in the garden! This is a well-rounded flow with extra love for the hips, hamstrings and glutes! Two blocks will be handy if you have them, or anything sturdy to "lift the floor up" if needed! Core strengthening and a little fun in crow pose along the way, monkey pose, lizard pose, a flipped out dog and so much more! Deep, mindful breathing throughout, so you release stress and tension and return to center. Let's play!

This is a strengthening practice focusing on our hips and hamstrings. Using long holds, we will learn to create deeper connection with our legs and our back body, We will also flow to become more attuned to ourselves and how we move through space. Remember that your time on your mat is yours. Take breaks as and when you need. Honor the true inner voice of self and it will show you the way. Prior to beginning, take about 5 minutes to settle into a comfortable seat and find your breath. Breathe evenly and deeply. Try to smooth out roughness in your breathing. As you settle more into your breath, begin to awaken ujjayi pranayama (breathing through the back of your throat, creating a whispery quality of sound). As you continue to breathe fluidly, now begin to balance out your breath so that your inhales and exhales are the same length. Become mindful of your breath. Consider it a dear friend here to support you throughout your practice. Take a moment and inwardly acknowledge yourself for getting on your mat today and holding this sacred time for self-exploration. When you feel ready, slowly open your eyes, and hit “play”. May all beings be happy, safe, and free, E.

Be Where You Are. Love Who You Are. Being present is extremely elusive. We have brief glimpses of it, like looking at stars in a dark sky. Eventually our mind is focusing on the past or future, and the moment of NOW is lost. Can you be exactly where you are with acceptance? Can you be compassionate with yourself when you fall and pick yourself up? We will explore these themes of patience, presence and curiosity as we move into this hour long practice together. Be easy with yourself. You may lose your balance and/or your focus. Know that you can always find your way back to presence and self-acceptance. Love and Peace to all, E.

This well-rounded practice is an opportunity to move, pause, breathe and reflect. Take an hour to step onto your mat and back into yourself. This practice is for all levels.

Kids ages 5-tweens (their grownups are welcome to join!) With all that is going on in the world right now, it can be hard for us to find our focus! Breathing, yoga and mindfulness can help! We will work with the haikini mudra in this practice - a mudra is another name for hand yoga. This mudra helps us find concentration. Flowing through many poses that require our direct attention and finishing in resting pose, yogis will be reminded that they can do anything they put their mind to.
