Slow Stretch Class

For this class you will need a bolster or pillow, strap and blocks.

We start out laying over the bolster to stretch out our side bodies and work on breathing. From there we do a long warm up sequence lying down including the leg stretches with the strap. From there we work on shoulders and spine and then a deeper hip warm up at the wall. We use all this opening in the standing poses and then rest. This class was recorded live July 5, 2022.

Slow and Steady Restorative Practice

For this class you will need blocks, a strap and some wall space.

We start out with a lovely long warm up. First up we take a chest opener to slowly work on posture and breathing. From there we continue to stretch and warm up and build to the leg stretches with the strap. From there we stand for more shoulder warm ups and work at the wall. We then do a few slow standing poses to feel into the strength of our legs. This class was filmed live May 31, 2022.

Breathing + Balancing

For this class you will need a strap, blocks and a blanket. We start off laying down, have your strap near by for the leg stretches. We slowly warmup the whole body, dusting off the cob webs of our extended break. From there we work of opening up breathing in the back body and warming up the knees while seated. We then work on maintaining deep breathing in more challenging poses. Lastly we try our balancing out in garudasana pose. This class was filmed live January 4, 2022.

Yoga with a Bolster

For this class you will need a bolster. If you dont have one you can roll up to yoga blankets together and many use masking tape to tape them together for the practice. You will also need yoga blocks and a strap.

For this practice we really slow down and focus on the breathing. The bolster offers lots of feedback all through out the practice. We start with a long reclining warm up, it can feel luxurious spending this extra time laying down and slowly unravel and open up into bigger stretches. From there we warm up the shoulders and wake up the legs in standing poses. We take a series of variations on belly down backbends leading to dhanurasana. This class was filmed live August 23, 2021.
