If you’d like you can use this playlist for the classes and hit play together with me to be in sync with the class.
Week 2 - down dog and transitions
how can we find stability and spaciousness in this key shape of vinyasa yoga - downward facing dog.
Let down dog be a ‘home’ position in the practice, which we can use to transition around the mat.
Week 3 - stepthrough
An extremely common transition in vinyasa yoga, the stepthrough (moving from downward facing dog into a lunge) is a tricky move that requires not only strong shoulders and core, but also flexibility in the hip flexors. Learn drills and modifications to make this more accessible.
Week 4 - stable and mobile hips
by building not only mobility but also stability in the hips, we can stay balanced and stable even in challenging asymmetrical positions. Stable hips are also important for a healthy spine.
Week 5 - actions of the shoulders
learn and experience the actions of the shoulders, how you can move them skilfully and find both openness and stability . focus on asymmetrical backbends, shoulders in extension (arms behind the back)
Week 6 - grace and power all day long
Put it all together in a vinyasa flow that focuses on strength and length in the side body.
