LEVEL UP YOUR YOGA - BREAKING DOWN SUN SALUTATIONS B (SURYA NAMASKAR B)
You’ve probably done Sun Salutations and Vinyasas a-plenty, but it’s always worth revisiting the foundations! In this 20 minute video, we focus on the synchronicity of breath with movement, as well as some subtle alignment points and tweaks to make your transitions even smoother. Ultimately, this will lead to creating strength and prepare you for deepening and furthering your practice when you’re ready. Treat this video as a mini-workshop, and use the sun salutations as a way to awaken your body for the day ahead, or even as preparation for a home practice.
YOGA FOR RUNNERS - PRE OR POST
Try this short and sweet 20 minute yoga sequence for runners - as part of the warm up or cool-down (or both!). This sequence focuses on releasing tension in the calves, hamstrings, hip flexors and quadriceps, as well as creating spinal mobility to strengthen and protect the back from potential jarring.
video - Empowerment -5 minute guided meditation
Take just 5 minutes to settle yourself somewhere, close your eyes and listen. Let your mind hit pause and simply float and absorb this guided meditation which has been created to uplift and center you, allowing you to connect to a core inner truth - that you are enough. The meditation lasts for just over 5 minutes, however feel free to sit in stillness and allow the centering thoughts and mantras to sink into you for as long as you wish.
video - PREPARE THE BODY TO MOVE
This 10 minute yoga sequence can be a short practice to ease the body into movement, or it can be a warmup before you get into a longer practice. I believe in taking time to warm the body up properly before diving in - this sequence focusses on hips, spine, and core as well as some hamstring and adductor lengthening - plus, of course a few vinyasas to create that flow and dynamism. Feel free to modify, use props, and be safe.
VIDEO - LEVEL UP YOUR YOGA - WRIST CARE
Our wrists can take a bit of a battering and be prone to aches and pains through excessive typing, texting (hands up!) and sometimes in our yoga practice as well, if weight is not properly distributed, as we are unaccustomed to weight-bearing on the wrist. In this video I am sharing my go-to exercises for wrist care and wrist strengthening.
