Within Peace
A creative heart opening sequence, working through some beautiful words from The Living Gita about finding inner peace. These words are so powerful as it reminds us not to try so hard, not to complicate our practise or time off the mat. We are all riding the waves of nature, the ebb and flow of life but through it all can we sink into source and rest in the quiet joy within. Stay open and perceptive to your inner flow - its a new one, full of some of my absolute favourites.

Not the Doer
Let’s sit back and observe more, do less and let the mind sink towards its witness state. Words taken from The Living Gita, to help the body remember a softening, a way of moving with just enough effort and to feel into present moments with tenderness and joy. Here we more through an assortment of twists and binds, used to awaken the core abdominals and back chain. Enjoy a creative twist through high lunge and vashistasana, as well as a funky variation through dolphin & pincha.

Calm Storm
How can we stay calm in a dynamic practise, remain focused, present, yet light and grounded. There are a multitude of elements which create ‘a balanced practise’; Feel the space sink into density against the solid form of matter (bone, tissue) reach up into lightness. This is a strong vinyasa practise, working through the front abdominal muscles in an array of side planks and fun transitions from wild thing to warrior 1. Enjoy this physical practise but keep reminding the mind to stay steady and focused. Take your time, rest when you need to.

Presence
A strong power yoga flow, focusing on the present moment - its a gift. So much of what we are practicing for, search for is the beauty within presence. Moments in time as they unravel right in front of us. Stay with it as we move dynamically up and down the mat. Here we play with bound half moon pose - as strong balance as well as a cheeky chin stand. Lots of variations to explore (and ignore :) . Be prepared to build heat in this light hearted, creative flow.

Density & Space
A warm vinyasa focusing on the balance between density of form, foundation and firmness against the lightness of space. We live a lot of live in the physical, focusing on our ‘heaviness'‘ / what we can feel against the skin but can we invite a sense of weightlessness, notice when the spaces expand within the cells as the breath draws in. Here we work through a creative variation of Sun B, into a multitude of Warrior 2 transitions and finally finishing with some deep hip stretches. This practise is warm, quietly challenging with some intense twists and playful balances.
