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. ♥
The poses and sequences in today’s class are very grounding – perfect before embarking on any new adventure or venture! We start on our backs and move into an active vinyasa warrior flow building on what we practiced on Tuesday. My wish for you is that you’ll leave your mat feeling strong and grounded with joy and openness to start your day!
Today’s class builds a strong core for both physical and mental support. We use breath work and longer holds to remind us how we use our abs in pretty much every part of our daily life. A strong core will help us have better posture allowing us to breathe more deeply giving our brains more oxygen and space to clear out the ‘ick’ and let in the goodness.
By popular demand, today’s class builds on Tuesday’s energizing core class with additional variations and longer holds. We also use the block to get deeper insight into the inner workings of our abs and do some stretches to work out any sore muscles that we might have from Tuesday. And, we have a special cricket guest!
Feeling sluggish? This class will energize you from the inside out focusing on breath work and core poses to strengthen your abdominal muscles, aid in slow digestion, and leave you feeling ready for whatever your day may bring next!
Props that you may want, but not required: Blocks, meditation cushion.
This class is the perfect go-to when your mind starts racing or gets stuck in looping thoughts. Through a guided meditation, you’ll practice slowing down the mind giving you the freedom to just let thoughts come and go without any engagement or reaction. A sun sal A&B sequence will help you focus on your body letting your mind take a little, probably much needed, vacation. Enjoy and let me know how it goes!
Today’s class wraps up our July theme of trust. We’ll check in to see how we’re showing up on the mat and how we want to show up when we step off. We start slow with a seated sequence to stretch the neck and side body and then move into a standing flow ultimately playing with supported half moon. I hope you enjoy!
Today we play! We’ll test our balance through a table-based core sequence and later with a gate-based half-moon sequence, ultimately leaving us an “open” chest and heart.
A perfect summer morning flow — we start out slowly opening the chest and working through the spine, open and stretch the hips, and then move into an invigorating Sun Sal A&B flow. A feel-good flow that will hopefully leave you smiling and ready for the day!
The side body stretches felt so good on Tuesday that we decided to continue them today! We combine them with a warrior II flow and throw in some ab work so they don’t feel left out.
