Lengthen & Liberate

In this mindful movement warm up class, we focus on gentle dynamic postures to help lubricate the joints, tendons and ligaments of the body to ensure that our muscles are prepared to support and strengthen our experience on the mat. Awareness of the breath through poses and their transitions will help us create a stable mental and emotional environment to handle whatever the day presents us with. This class can absolutely be practiced on its own if you are looking for a slower paced flow, or pair it with any class throughout this series.  MUSIC 'The Inner Calling' - composed by Music of Wisdom Licensed from meditationmusiclibrary.com

In this yoga and pilates fusion class, we focus on supine mobility poses, as well as unilateral movements, to help us build a strong foundation. The grounding elements of these functional asanas help cultivate a deep awareness of the breath-mind-body relationship, enhancing our performance and capacity to be present. Postures will predominately target pelvic stability, gluteus strength, as well as toning the muscles of the legs and back. We will round off practice with nourishing stretches to invite space in and around these regions of the body.

In part II of our hatha yoga series we will start with supine stretches to help us passively relax and open the muscles of the back of the legs, as well as the lower back. We will then intensify the practice with some standing forward folds, combining strenghtening and stretching elements to help us maximise our capacity to lengthen and liberate the mind, body, and soul. If you live in a particularly tight body, a strap may prove advantageous for this practice, although no props are required.
