We start out with reclining warm ups and leg stretches with the strap. From there we work into some deeper hip stretches from seated and then internal rotation work for the shoulders. This all helps us as we build up to gomukasana arms and the standing poses and bound side angle pose. This class was filmed live March 15, 2022.

Shoulder Focused Practice Part 2

Reaching into Poses Part 4

For this class you will need blocks and a blanket. We start out lying down to warm up with extra attention on the hip flexors. From there we work deeper in the hips and shoulders while standing. We revisit some familiar stretches and then continue our work lengthening the hip flexors in preparation for our Warrior I flow. We then take a long supported bridge pose at the end of class.

Gomukasana Flow and Side Plank Hack

For this class you will need some wall space and possibly yoga blocks.

We start reclining to warm up the body and hone in on the ability to stabilize to torso while moving the arms and legs. This supports awareness as we continue to move in the standing poses. At the wall we focus on internal rotation of the shoulders, the key to opening up more space in the shoulder capsule. This rotational work is continued in plank and side plank at the wall and then later from the floor to increase the load and ability to build strength and resilience of the shoulders. The Gomukasana Arms flow challenges shoulder mobility and balance all at once in this playful sequence. This class was filmed live February 6, 2021.

A New Take of Familiar Moves

For this class you will need a strap and chair and ideally yoga blocks.

Neck work can be challenging so try this reclining sequence to stretch out your neck and gently strengthen. Then work on your upper back strength and coordination in standing shoulder work. Spinal balance is a wonderful pose for so many reasons, but have your tried spinal balance while in a C curve of your spine? This new version may change your perspective and improve your spinal strength and mobility. Last but not least we end with backbending to strenthen the upper back. Students at the end of class said, "My neck feels amazing!'. This class was filmed live February 2, 2021
