Beating the head with summer flows. Fri 1115

Pranayama: Sahaja, Dirgha, Nadi Shodhana, Analoma Viloma

Flowing through the summer with a peaceful (shanti) vinyasa flow.    Opening the body with grace and love.

Everything will be moved today, balance, standing strength, upper body strength, back strength, twists and folds.

Join me for the juicy feeling with a fluid flow.

Restore, renew and let go. Yum Yum Yoga Thurs 730pm

Pranayama:  Sahaja, Dirgha over a pranayama blanket.

Opening the low back, shoulders and hips using a chair & sandbags.  Restorative forward fold using the chair as support and to allow a full soft opening.  Opening wrists, neck, shoulders and feet before standing.

Standing using the wall to allow gentle easy movement with alignment.  Wall hang, gentle warrior, balance, side body opening.   Restorative twist before aromatherapy, savasana and meditation.

Arching 1/2 Moon? Yup come balance & flow. Tues 745pm

Pranayama: Sahaja, Dirgha, Sun Breath

Flowing Vinyasa to open the hips and warm the legs and spine.

Standing strength:  Skanda, Warriors and  Half moon and arching half moon.  Arching Half Moon is a posture we will work on to continue with the balance building of Half Moon.  I remember when Half Moon was a posture that was alittle “out there” for almost everyone, now however, everyone floats into the posture with beauty and grace. Most of the time anyway, we all have our balance challenge days. 😀 Building on the strength of the back with Cobra rolls.  Twists, Forward Folds.  Aromatherapy & Savasana.

Opposite arm & leg,  Heel beats.  Sweet twists and stretches.

Yum Yum Yoga starts tonight. Mon 7pm

Pranayama: Sahaja, Dirgha, Nadi Shodhana

Opening the neck and shoulders with gentle stretches. Moving onto the eyes, so often we forget the eyes have muscles in them and we don’t  fully use, so tonight we will move through the  eye movements to release and relieve tension in the eyes.

Shoulder openers and twists. The other place tension is held is in the hips so onto opening and moving the hips.  Aromatherapy, Savasana, and meditation will finish the Yum Yum yoga for tonight.

Aromatherapy tonight is Relaxing Blend from Yoga Flow Oils, thank you Susan
