Today we let time do the work by easing slowly and gently into poses to release the fascia in our legs, hips, and torsos. We then move into a more active standing warrior flow to get energized for the day.
Building off of Tuesday’s class, today we isolate the quads and hamstrings as we continue to build strength and flexibility in our legs. It’s a great practice to get out of your head and into your body!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Today we show our legs some love! Chair pose, squats, and lunges all come together to stretch and strengthen our legs and hips.
The biggest thing in this world, bigger than the ocean and the sky, is your HEART.” —Do Hyun Choe
Today we start standing for an energizing flow of Sun Sal B variations that include leg strengthening chair poses and chest opening twists — all with the intent to reduce stress and anxiety and start the day with an open and loving heart.
ONE DROP Today’s class focuses on side bends — slowly moving through the frontal plane to prepare for our standing flow that builds into triangle and half moon. We end our month considering what it means when one drop of action makes a ripple that expands out from the mat and into the world.
“You are everywhere, forever free…the single witness of all things.” Today’s class is psoas focused — a long floor sequence to lengthen and strengthen core muscles. We end with a warrior 3 flow and a meditation on witnessing through listening.
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. ♥
