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.

Dharma Day

A full heart flow which touches upon the concept of dharma. Living with purpose and duty not just to ourselves but for the greater good. Readings taken from The Living Gita, by Sri Swami Satchidananda - ‘it is better to do your own dharma (calling) even imperfectly than someone else’s dharma perfectly’. Consider this verse in this mandala inspired practise. Who are you living for? Who do you practise for? Have you ever really had the time to think about it. Here we take a look as a variety of backbends, side stretches and asymmetrical binds in a playful yet challenging vinyasa flow.

Splits

A yummy splits flow, divided into seated and standing poses that circulate around the mat. A practise to really open up the hamstrings and hips, looking closely at hanumanasana and visvamitrasana. A quietly strong vinyasa, with a sprinkling of hand balances. Here we touch upon the presence of tension within the body. We all require a certain level of tension to move however more often than not, we are over tense. Can we move with a quiet calm at all times, balancing just enough effort in our practise. Sthira Sukham Asanam.

Rebound

A creative vinyasa, which looks into how the mind can rebound back into our centre. We all have our own way of rebounding back - to refill our cup. But can we do this while exerting ourselves in our practise? Here we move though a dance like flow, moving from Warrior 3 into Warrior 1 whilst working through some side strengthening poses and asymmetrical lines.

Ripples

Vinyasa Flow

Can we feel the ripple effects from the body into the mind and back again? Everything is so intimately connected, each breath, each step having a knock on effect across our being and beyond. We have become to so a-tuned in westernized culture to divide up the body but this flow looks at how we move as one unit, how one factional part effects the whole. This is a creative vinyasa flow, suitable for all levels, looking into lengthening our bone structure and widening out perspective as we float from one pose into the next.

Central Line

Vinyasa Flow

When you think of your centre, where is your awareness channelled to? What does it feel like? Look like? A line, a dot, an organ? What happens when we flow from centre? This is a fun vinyasa practise which play into variations of Sun B - to activate your abdominal walls and back chain. Poses here move past passive anchoring into more active holds. Expect some funky variations in down dog and navasana, a flow to open your hips and the lateral lines of the body.
