Building Connection

So much of todays yoga is focused on asana - on how we look from the outside. But this practice is all about our felt sense of the body. Building the connection between breath and movement. After-all this is what yoga means - to yoke. To combine the body with the breath, the heart with the head, to find the great connection between us and the earth we live on. Expect some variations on the more traditional high lunge and fallen star. A playful practice with a peppering of philosophy ;)

Out to In

A (sun like) blitz to get you moving from the outer most edges of your skin and back to your inner most core. Here we expand to contract and contract to expand again. 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. There are not Sun salutation B’s in this flow - straight into creativity and play.

Lets Rise

Feel into a lift of energy as we creep into spring time. Enjoy this typical water vinyasa as we layer one sequence onto the next. As we allow the state of flow to take over, can we get out of our heads and into our bodies? A practice that has it all, a energising mix of ardha chandrasana (half moons), Utkata Konasana (goddess squat) and Vashistasana (side plank). Prepare to be softly awakened in this continuous flow.

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 Our brilliant ability to KEEP GOING even when we may ‘appear’ to be quieter and withdrawn.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.

Sweet

A LIVE RECORDING.

A juicy water vinyasa which leans into our inherent beauty. The divine sweetness that we see around is indeed within the roots of the body. Can we begin to feel into these similarities. Allow a sense of trust as we try a little less in this simple vinyasa flow. Here we learn to let go and expand. Let’s radiate from centre into our 5 limbs (arms, legs and head) - mimicking expansive light of beauty and innate wholeness which we are born with. This is a practice you can relax into. Expect some repeated sequences moving from some strong holds into seated stretches.

Float

Simple and serene this water practice will focus on an array of pyramid poses to stretch your legs and activate a little hip adduction. Let’s play with our sensations of buoyancy and float. Even when we are completely still the bodies vibrational qualities dilate via the heart outwards. Can we sense into our internal float - our capacity to hover from the front all the way to the back body. Eventually can we feel into our heads sinking towards this floating heart? Enjoy the hearts pulsation - it can be felt around the whole circumference of the body as we hold steady and float.

Teeter

A vinyasa flow to work into the suspension of your hip flexors and explore the unknown sensations of some funky balances. A playful practise which will drive you through some strong repeated movements, building heat slowly, but remaining anchored within the breath and inner stability. Watch as the mind pivots between known (traditional asanas) and the (sometimes wobbly) unknown. Remember it’s ok to fall, this is the type of practise you can just keep coming back to.

Full Immersion

A live recording from ILY ONLINE. A full water flow, moving as a whole organism from pose to pose, breath to breath. Here we dive into the sensation of flow itself, letting the body fully take over the talkative mind. Prepare to build on a simple to a more complicated vinyasa sequence. Here we’ll brush the floor and fly high into inversions. A great practise to open the hips flexors and to ignite the nervous system as we prepare for some strong heart holds to finish this aquatic dance!

Dorsi

A strong yet active vinyasa flow (nearly placed into the sun series!). This vinyasa moves into a repeated sequence sure to awaken your feet, with lots of dorsi flexion (or naughty toes for those of you who remember ballet class). This playful vinyasa looks at building strength within a pose, expect plenty of hip flexion, some yummy forward folds and a new active entry into pincha mayurasana. Even though this practise is relatively short, it’s warm and invigorating.

Veil of Truth

In Tantric texts they belief that our soul or inner light of awareness is covered by a veil of dust - a covering called ‘maya’. This film/dust is also known as the illusion that prevents us from seeing the world clearly. Here we lift that veil of illusion - using the physical practise to unearth what lies beneath. Can we really use this time on our mats to sink into a state of flow, moving to and fro can we quieten our busy minds? This practise slightly repeats certain movements and particular poses. There is slightly more attention towards the hips and pelvis - a great practise if you are trying to mentally process something or if your looking for an all body stretch.

Spinal Spin

Enjoy this low impact water session as we get right into the full rotation of the spinal column. This playful vinyasa begins in standing and finishes with a short neck and upper back stretch to round off the more energetic movements of the vinyasa.

Present Space

Enjoy this continuous water vinyasa flow as we delve deep into the hip flexors. Here we treasure each and very moment, reveling in the wondrous balance between space and form. This class plays with opening up the hips and pelvis and encourages you to assess your relationship with this unique moment in time. How does one pose flow into the next? How does one breath infuse into another? How can we take in little nuggets of wonder as the mind jumps from the future to the past. Lets begin now.
