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.
Today’s class wraps up our monthly theme on renewal. We do a long Sun Sal A & B flow with a short meditation and a long final relaxation. If you’re new to class, I recommend taking any of the other March classes first because I don’t give a lot of cues in this flow.
It’s week three of our renewal theme and Sun Sal A&B flow. Today is all about twists — reclined, seated, and standing — all to help us de-stress and improve digestive function. By opening up the chest, the shoulders, and back, we create space for deeper breathing signaling to our body that it can relax and let go of the tight, slumped postures that we tend to have when working on computers, phones, and driving — or anytime we start to feel anxious or stressed.
Today is our first class after the time change so we start slow with some grounding floor exercises focused on the back, legs, hips, and glutes. Through concentrated breathwork we start to activate and energize to move into our Sun Sal A&B flow and ultimately into standing balancing postures. All with gratitude that the sun has once again risen. 🙂
Is the world moving faster than you’d like? Today’s class slows things down by starting with some grounding poses to support the nervous system. We then celebrate the full moon with a salutation flow to lubricate the joints. A great flow for the spine and psoas!
Happy New Year! Today’s class starts out slow and easy with multiple poses to alleviate neck and shoulder tension. We then move into a sun salutation flow to welcome in a new year and stretch the psoas. Cheers!
Today’s flow is inspired by the 108 sun salutations traditionally practiced on solstice. We honor another rotation around the sun with 10 sun sals along with several poses to release tension in the neck, shoulders, and traps. Happy Holidays for all the holidays you might celebrate.
Are you feeling tight and sore in your back? Is the cold winter weather making you feel creaky and achy? Maybe even a little grouchy? This energizing flow will wake up your spine and leave you feeling more open, flexible, and maybe just a little more joyous. No matter how you’re feeling today, be kind to yourself. ♥
