Today we slow it down and find a deep energetic stretch in this yin style yoga practice. I encourage you to bring props and as much cushioning as you’d like. Yes, we want to stretch, but this is also a time for reflection and looking inwards, quite a meditative practice this one.
Welcome to your journey to splits. Throughout this 14-day journey we’ll visit different types of movements and ways of stretching. This is by no means a “quick fix” to splits, but instead it’s an in-depth start to your progress towards splits. If you would like to, take progress photos, but also journal your thoughts and feelings throughout. Remember, the success comes from being aware, from showing up and from being present. Anything else is just a bonus.
Take some time out during this festive period for you to cultivate some calm. I encourage you to grab cushions, a blanket and light some candles xx
Please enjoy this bonus class where we work into the hips space.. This class was recorded during a live with dancers, hence the occasional dance reference. Take deep breaths into the hips and allow them to release with every exhale x
Today, we will iron out the kinks in our lower body. Hips, hamstrings, quads… Let’s do it!
Do you sit for long periods throughout the day? in this very short video we get up from our desks and move together. Let me know how you feel after taking short breaks throughout your day to move.
Grounding, stable, secure, connected. I recommend getting outside and doing this one in nature. Please enjoy it.
In this practice, we’ll stretch and strength all the way down the posterior chain focusing on our stabilising muscles and lengthening out the whole back body. This is great flow to come back to on a regular basis, especially if you’re quad dominant and do a lot of lower body workouts.
A beautiful heart opening sequence. As with any heart opening and back bending flow, just be aware of any niggles in the lower back and know when you’ve reached your limit. Breathe into the heart, feeling yourself lift higher.
To connect with our masculine energy we’ll be moving through an active hips flow. There will be a few passive moments throughout, but feel free to take some extra pause moments if you need them. This practice will leave your hips feeling strong, open, mobile and alive!
