In celebration of today’s new moon, we move through a vigorous warrior and goddess vinyasa flow with plenty of side bends, arm poses, and core work. My hope is that your entire body will feel stretched and strengthened and ready to find JOY in your day!
In today’s class we consider what it means to remain open in order to observe the unfolding of the unknown — and perhaps to even delight in the experience! We use boat and plank poses to strengthen our core and arms and counter poses to stretch it all out.
Today we continue Tuesday’s focus on ‘Full Participation’ applying it to a more restorative practice. This class is perfect for anytime that you feel you need more of a pause to allow the body and mind to reset. We incorporate supportive poses that open the back, release the shoulders and neck, and calm the nervous system. We still add in a little bit of core and arm work and finish with our triangle flow.
This week we consider what it means to be in “full participation” — in our poses, our thoughts, and in our lives. Still focusing on strengthening the core and arms, today we start with seated poses to open and expand the chest allowing the spine to better align and the breath to become deeper and easier. Our standing flow culminates in triangle pose (Utthita Trikonasana) to strengthen the legs and back.
Feeling super strong today? Maybe not so much? This core and arm strengthening class explores several plank variations giving you lots of options for however your body may be showing up today and a meditation to remind us of the gifts that presence can bring.
Core recovery! I don’t know about you but I’m really feeling all of that ab work from Tuesday. Today, we’ll recover with some gentle core stretches and move into more strengthening poses.
It’s an ab day! This is our last class in our November gratitude series and we go out putting some fire in our bellies! This guilt-free, gratitude-for-food class offers several core strengthening sequences to ignite our digestion and a guided meditation to help us ease back into our mindfulness practice.
This class is a continuation of the Nov 1 class and continues with twists but ends with a standing balancing sequence. You don’t have to take the other class first, but I do recommend it. 🙂
Today we wrap up our monthly theme of liberation and move through a warrior-based vinyasa flow with plenty of planks and core strengthening poses.
