1 I need yoga
DURATION:
20 minutes
INTENTION:
I give myself what I need.
DESCRIPTION:
Pop this on when life is getting hectic and you need time to yourself. This will help you settle. Lovely, flowing movement. Enough to get you warm, maybe a few little kick ups, but nothing too intense.
EXPLORATION:
Some interesting transitions, we twist, we flow.
2 I'm frustrated, I don't know what to do with myself
DURATION:
15 minutes
INTENTION:
I send loving kindness to my brain and my body
DESCRIPTION:
Busy, a lot going on, stressed, tense? This video is to give you respite – time to release frustration and tension. Not a fiery class. Becoming softer, quieter, more gentle.
Settling into the body, twists, free movement in all fours, tension release through the feet
EXPLORATION:
Learning how to release frustration and agitation – allowing ourselves a small amount of time purely to self-nourish and self-soothe.
3 Slow down, Calm down
DURATION:
25 minutes
INTENTION:
I move with beauty and grace. I welcome softness into my heart.
DESCRIPTION:
Using synchronicity of breath and movement to bring about meditative state. We flow. We flow slow. We start by connecting to the breath, then we begin to flow. We end with legs up the wall for deep rest.
EXPLORATION:
Triggering a shift in the nervous system. Moving from wired to restored. All about the graceful, slow pace with which we move. It’s not yin, it’s not restorative – it’s fluid – but the WAY we move is nourishing and healing.
4 Morning Movement Ritual
DURATION:
15 minutes
INTENTION:
I start my day with positivity and connection
DESCRIPTION:
Fast moving, energising, revitalising. We start with some big powerful breaths, moving into free movement in the spine – waking the body up. Downward facing dog to feel into what’s happening in the body today. Side stetches, bouncing, breathing, releasing carbon dioxide through powerful breath & movement practice. Just 1 lovely sun salutation followed by a lovely short flow.
EXPLORATION:
Breath, energising movement, bringing connection to the body.
5 evening movement ritual

Props:
Bolster or big pillow
INTENTION:
I finish my day by soothing my nervous system
DESCRIPTION:
Starting in a downward dog to stretch out the body, then bringing all the movement down to the mat. Sleeping swan, restorative postures. Calm & peaceful resting poses.
