https://youtu.be/LUX2lnSKlQw We being this Hatha yoga practice by grounding and centering. We practice awareness of the breath and practice Ujjayi

This practice is intended to be a slow and grounding invitation to reconnect with your body and your breath. You may experience many benefits from your yoga practice. You might sleep better at night, feel stronger or more flexible, or find that you navigate change better. But at it’s core, yoga is an invitation to slow down and create space to discover your true Self. I hope this practice helps you to do just that.

This is a gentle, yet strengthening yoga practice that’s great for letting go of workday stress. Move and breathe at your own pace.

This practice is all about awareness. Feeling the sensation of your body being supported by the ground below you. Noticing what the breath feels like in your body. Bringing the breath and body together through movement. And, observing the effects of the practice on your mind, body, and breath.

This practice includes some of my favorite poses to practice after a long day of working at the computer.

We began this practice with a moment of reflection for Daunte Wright. Since this practice, we also need to hold Adam Toledo, Jaida Peterson, and Remmy Fennell in our hearts.

This practice emphasizes “flow” or moving with the breath. I invite you to let go of where you are headed and focus on the journey. Join me in practicing presence bring the mind, body, and breath together with joyful movement. 

You may want to have blocks, a chair, or a wall available for support in practicing downward-facing dogs. The full sequence is available below for your reference.

In this practice, we explored a wide-leg seat as an alternative to downward dog. In it, we work on both hip flexion and supporting the spine with our core. As the thumbnail suggests, we also experimented with chair pose as an opportunity to find the leg and core work of downward-facing dog without having to bear weight on our arms. 

I begin this practice with a brief discussion of the origins of Yoga in South Asia and some of the philosophical underpinnings of the practice. The full sequence is listed below for your reference.

In this practice, we begin with some seated movement to help warm up our neck, shoulders, and torso. Then, I demonstrate a seated option for twisting in wide-leg forward folds. I’ve included the full sequence below for your reference.

In this recording of a live Hatha practice, we explore Dolphin pose. Dolphin can be a great alterative to Downward Dog for folks that have wrist, elbow, or shoulder issues.
