Bringing weights into our yoga practice can help us to maintain and improve muscle mass, keep our bones strong and also get our hearts going a bit more while still practising slowly. You will need two weights of your choice, starting with or two 1-litre bottles filled with water, a yoga block and an optional cushion or blanket.
This is a short class in which we do not bear any weight on our wrists. Instead, we make gentle movements to mobilise the wrists, hands and shoulders while building strength and flexibility in our legs.
In our final class we bring together different aspects of what we have learned, while continuing to explore new transitions between poses. This class involves the whole body and also includes a restful part at the end, with a short shavasana.
This class involves preparing for and learning how to practice our first arm balance, Baby Grasshopper pose. You will need blocks and possibly a strap.
Most of us can squat with two legs on the ground. But what happens when we change things and start to bear more weight on one leg? We will explore different ways of introducing single-leg squats into our practice as well as playing with methods of supporting ourselves in skandasana. You will need a chair and a few yoga blocks or a low stool/table.
Today we will dive into shoulder strength. We will warm up and mobilise our shoulders before exploring some weight-bearing poses. You will need a wall, 2 blocks, a small inflated Pilates ball and 2 rubber balls.
Welcome to the Shrimp Challenge! During this class we will be preparing, loosening up and understanding what is involved this special single leg squat. You will need a few blocks, a cushion and possibly a strap.
Getting up and down from the ground with ease throughout our lives is so important. In this lesson we learn a few ways to come up and down, with and without using our hands. You may need blocks and/or cushions.
Today's class is entirely inspired by animal movement and Animal Flow. Of course, with a yoga twist.
Today we will begin with shoulder awareness and then shift our attention to strengthening the back of our bodies, particularly the back line. This involves our calf muscles, hamstrings and the muscles that run along either side of our spines.
