This week: incorporating movement into your practice by flowing in and out of, or between, poses. A mix of standing and floor poses for Tuesday Gentle, and wrapping up the week with a Basics class that focusing on strengthening (and sparing) the wrists. All classes online, $10 per person, all levels welcome!

This week on the mat! Monday, Ardha Chandrasana — Balancing Half-Moon Pose. We’ll look at variations using a wall, a chair, and a block! This pose opens the upper chest and hips, and works balance.

Tuesday, a Gentle, all-floor repeating sequence for the digestion; and Wednesday, working with a modified version of Paul Grilley’s Dragon Flow (lots of hip openers!).

Come join us on Zoom from wherever you are!

We all have our routines — where, and how, and how long we sit; how long (and whether) we elevate our heart rate; whether we undertake activities that stretch or strengthen our muscles. The nicest thing about a regular exercise class designed and led by someone else is that it helps address one’s own “blind spots” — the stretches we never take, the movements that counter the way our couch was not designed to support a human body for hours.

This week, we’ll focus on the amazing set of muscles that we collectively call our buttocks; plus all the side body parts that sometimes get neglected in our day to day. On Tuesday, a gentle practice that combines standing and floor poses to calm the central nervous system and bring movement to every part of the body.

Come join us!

Come join us this week! Monday and Wednesday is Yoga Basics, focusing this week on abdominals and forward folding poses; Tuesday is Gentle Yoga — little to no cardio, slower pace, this week an all-floor practice to aid the digestive system.

This week’s yoga adventures! Monday, a practice of repeating pose sequences for greater depth and ease. Tuesday, a Gentle Yoga class with both standing and floor poses. Wednesday, a cooling practice with some lovely Restorative poses to reset the vagus nerve. All classes live stream on Zoom, beginners are always welcome!
