De-prawnify yourself with this 50+ minute practice Yogis. Less slumped & caved in; more upright, alert & balanced. Grab a strap or belt, a blanket & maybe two blocks. Let's get moving & undo the sitting.

Happy Saturday Yogis I hope you're cosy, safe & well, no matter the weather ("internal" or external). We've been slowly letting our practice 'arise' together so far this week. Today we use the chair as a prop (you don't have to, you can go prop-free, or use two Blocks instead). Featuring more standing asana, the fun 'trinity' of Virabhadrasana I, II & III (Warriors 1, 2 & 3) as well as some Trikonasana (Triangle), Ardha Uttanasana (Half Standing Forward Fold), Puppy, & a little medium(ish) flowing in-between our standing asana, with a chair-enhanced Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog) & Plank. Please take it handy. It's cold. And our muscles and joints might appreciate a little extra Yoga TLC, let alone our heads & hearts. And have a great rest-of-weekend ✨.

Our aim of softly letting ourselves get back into our practice this week continues in this 25 minute practice Yogis. Soft power is still power. We start in Constructive Rest - maybe have a blanket for under the head. Take your time, take it handy.

A Very Happy New Year To You All Yogis. Back on our mats time. January time. Please let it also be a kind time. Let's take it handy; please let's head into our practice & our January in a supportive, compassionate way. It's not a time for extremes or self-imposed misery. Winter is still so very strongly afoot; it's dark, very cold & what we truly need right now is nourishment - rest, ease, tasty, comforting food & a settling back into good routines, as the days & weeks of January go by & as our energy & form allows.

A little over 30 minutes on this rainy Wednesday morning yogis. Two blocks or a chair might be helpful here. We focus on some quiet, some stillness & silence, as well as enhancing our balance, stretching the calf muscles & more. Garudasana (Eagle Pose) gets a little dusting off too. We haven't practised that in a while! It encapsulates our practice aims today - balance, strengthening our core & legs, while increasing both shoulder & hip mobility. Take it handy Yogis, embrace tiny pockets of quiet over the rest of the week - just 3 breaths can & will help, whatever moment we find ourselves in ✨.
