Body In Process

With so much media and information flowing in about body image - about unrealistic ideals of beauty, how can we sink into the awe and wonder of the body as it develops over time? Use this class to re-connect with your wonderful form, with your physicality.

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

Posterior Line

A short but warm stretch to send the back body an array of awareness, from breath to muscles strengthening. So much attention is given to the front body but what happens when we turn this towards the posterior chain? Expect a full body stretch as you move from the front to the back of the mat. Here we’ll flow through a majority of standing poses, finishing with a few short twists and gentle savasana.

Into Splits

Here we dive into the hip flexors and hamstrings. Looking at a variety of entry points into splits with the combination of internal v external rotation of the upper thigh muscles. Bring as much support as you need to finish and pause the final stages of the practise in Hanumanasana (full grounded splits). This class is for everyone and should be seen as a progression, with patience and softness learn to sit with internal resistance for this mighty peak pose!

Seaweeding

A vinyasa to help you unwind and uncoil your body. Looking loosely at traditional postures as a means to ground the lower body. Your quest in this continuously moving flow is to look within, to know yourself, to see that you are connected and there is no separation. Expect a fluid like standing sequence, with an emphasis on strong holds and agile movements of the upper body.

My go-to

A short practise to either warm up your body for a full day ahead or release your upper back from a long day over your computer. This is my ‘GO-TO’ sequence to warm up my back and hamstrings for my daily self practise. Looking into some strong back bend variations such as Uṣṭrāsana and Anjaneyasana. This practise is not for the faint hearted, a quick WAKE UP call, looking at splits, handstands and dharma inspired asana.

(Backbends are particularly strong and energising postures, they tap into the circulatory system by increasing blood flow throughout the whole body leading to an increase in energy levels!)
