Expect to come off your mat with some ‘wilder’ wild things, lunge dips and a variety of side openers like half moon and kneeling stretches to find greater extension in the side body.

Here we encourage our minds to sink into a full heart.
Let it be and allow the love to flow in.

Wintery Waters
A warm wintery practice to feel into the effortless force of water. In Chinese medicine winter and the cooler months represents the element of water symbolizing pre-birth and death. It is here that we re-charge the body and develop our strength to continue onwards. Let us feel into the regeneration of cells and a downward pressure of the limbs in this continuous flow of pause and release. Can you feel the movement within stillness? Our brilliant ability to KEEP GOING even when we may ‘appear’ to be quieter and withdrawn. Enjoy a repeated sequence made up of parsvottanasana, shiva twists and a cheeky inversion to finish.

Uncomplicated
Let’s move with compassion as we unfurl the limbs from standing into seated and back again. This water practice moves at a steady pace, front to back around the whole mat. Tune in the natural state of your body, it’s wondrous form and buoyancy as we let go of rigid postural cues and colour outside of the lines! This is a personal favourite when I want to feel physically creative yet grounded.

Pocket Yin - Air
Vijnanamaya kosha is the fourth of the five layers, or sheaths, of the body, which are collectively referred to as pancha kosha. Vijnanamaya kosha is the intellect/wisdom/knowledge sheath. Here we take in our Air element in a short sequence of long open holds. This element is one of the most subtle sheaths of the Kosha systems, here we can contemplate Viveka - our keen discernment between what is energising us and nourishing the self v when is destructive and perhaps draining for the self.

Pocket Yin - Water
Our water yin is all about our connection to the second layer of the body (pranamaya kosha) our sense of prana. On a cellular level prana drives all awareness through the body, it stimulates digestion, circulation, respiration and excretion. So you see prana is not just the breath but the electric current causing ALL movement within - it is truly magical and constantly flowing.

Space
There are certain moments in this life when we all need to slow down and feel the inner beat of our heart. Here we learn to stretch out time, moving slowly, encouraging the limps to lengthen and expand with the motion of our breath. Lets take each moment as they come, calm down our reactions and move quietly. Expect no chaturangas in this water flow, sink into you’re expansion, into you’re surrounding orb of light.
