Tiny & Vast: Exploring the relationship between the macrocosm and the microcosm, the universal and the individual, including a reading of a sutra from the Recognition Sutra's translated by Christopher Hareesh Wallis.
Ganesha Mantra: calling to Ganesha as the aspect of ourselves that knows how to move through obstacles, digest our experiences, learn and grow through our challenges. Calling to Ganesha can also be a calling not only for ourselves but for the uplifting, healing and justice for all. I find this one so helpful in difficulty, and also as a sweet blessing for any new beginning, as Ganesha is also invoked to offer blessings at the beginning of any new venture. This melody is Edo & Jo’s beautiful creation.
Hips & Circles: a fluid flow moving in circles around the mat, exploring side plank variations with hip mobility, balance, and quiet pockets of stillness dotted throughout to drop in. *Archive: an older video with lower resolution video & high quality sound.
Strong from centre: a practice that starts slowly and then moves steadily through to some stronger sequences and options to play with handstand and a twisted pigeon variation whilst exploring moving from and returning to centre.
The Spaces in between: an exploration of joint spaces. What if we could move from the spaces in between? Cultivate a felt experience of spaciousness that we can move from and return to? Move through a flowing sequence of balances, twists, and side plank variations exploring the embodiment of space the spaces in between.
Get out of your head and into your body: with so much of our world moving online and a natural tendency to get ‘pulled up’ into our thinking, this is a practice to encourage awareness to filter through the whole of our body mind. Start on the floor and sneak into a more dynamic movement exploration whilst cultivating moment to moment awareness.
Rise & Shine: a practice to roll out of bed and onto your mat and wake up into your day. Side bends, spine mobilisation flows, hip openers, yummy twists and some backbends to finish, whilst exploring the relationship between ribs, spine and breath.
Grounded & Spacious: a slow flow practice that starts quietly and unravels into a flowing sequence with a focus on strength and steadiness in the legs and freedom and space in the spine.
Back body Strength: a strong practice to strengthen the back body and legs, moving dynamically towards a balancing half moon sequence.
Sidebody Flow: a varied exploration of the side body and how awareness through our sides and the lateral width can affect our sense of centre.
Sense of Self: a fluid flow to investigate how movement can change our moment to moment felt sense of self. This is a great one for ‘cleaning the slate’ if you are feeling agitated or fatigue/ stagnation, offering the body pathways to release, move, recalibrate, and shift.
Space to Breathe: giving ourselves time and space to find width, breadth and space and freedom in the ribs. Start slowly, soothing the nervous system and sneak into a flowing practice with a focus on twists, side body space and optional arm balance explorations.
Strong & Spacious: a practice exploring strength, clarity and steadiness in the legs integrated with space and freedom in the spine, ribs, and lungs.
Space and Flow: focus on articulating through the joint spaces focusing on space and clarity of motion, move into a strong, slow, spirally flow and close with some seated forward folds and a yummy neck release.
Embodying Continuity: Understanding the body as a ‘tensegrity architecture’, where the design of the tiny (cell) is expressed at the level of the large (whole body). Start slowly and build into a challenging practice with variations in quality, speed, texture of movement and balance.
Continuity & Flow: exploring the continuous nature of the fascia as we move through balances, twists, hip explorations and yummy floor based sequences to begin and end.
Nap Time: a short yoga nap in simple restorative postures that only require a pillow or two as props. Can be really helpful to either release and honour fatigue and exhaustion or settle agitation & anxious energy.
Yield: a mini workshop exploring one of the fundamental movement principles that you can apply to any type of movement. Starts with a 5 minute explanation of 'yield' and then moves into a simple practice to experience it for yourself. Such a game changer for finding more ease and support in motion and stillness.
