Short explanations & demos of various breathing controls or pranayama to bring balance, calm and grounding to body, mind & spirit.

Pranayama - Breathing exercises

An introduction to alternative nostril breathing, Nadi Shodhana. This technique invites you to create a sense of balance and clarity into the body, mind & spirit. Suitable for all levels as well as for pregnancy and post natal students.
Nadi is a Sanskrit word meaning “channel” or “flow” and shodhana means “purification.” Therefore, nadi shodhana is primarily aimed at clearing and purifying the subtle channels of the mind-body, while balancing its masculine and feminine aspects.

Alternative nostril breathing - Nadi Shodhana

Yin yoga is a quiet contemplative practice, with poses held for 3-5 minutes, all supported by the earth, using props and variations to allow the body to soften into the poses and the mind to be still. Yin yoga works deeply into our body and mind through the cultivation of awareness in longer-held poses, helping to aid the release of modern day stresses. 
Yin yoga targets the deepest tissues of the body, our connective tissues - ligaments, joints, bones, and the deep fascia networks of the body. Energetically, Yin yoga improves the energy flow, nourishing the flow of chi in the organs. To be healthy, we need healthy organs as well as healthy muscles. This practice is open to all levels and is a great way to bring balance to your dynamic yoga practice.

Filmed as part of a training, this video is a great posture clinic for new students or teachers learning to cue postures for their students.

This half hour video takes you through how to properly move through some of the foundational postures in yoga, including:

Plank
Low Plank/Chaturanga
Upward Facing Dog
Downward Facing Dog
Warrior 1
High Lunge

Reverse Warrior

Highlighting the Do's and Don'ts of each posture, I hope this video helps to improve your practice and bring you back to a place of more awareness as you move through your flow.

Back to Basics - Breaking Down Balancing Postures

This video is for experienced yogis that would like to know how to modify their regular practice when pregnant. Please note that this does not address any medical conditions and you should always speak with your doctor if you have concerns.

Pregnancy Modifications

In this video I break down crow pose with tips on how to achieve the posture and a better understanding for what is required in order to come in to it.

Crow Tutorial

This series of classes covers one chakra per class (7 in total). Our chakras are energy centers of our body. The word chakra in Sanskrit means "wheel" so you can imagine each chakra as a spinning vortex of energy that is associated with functions of the body and with specific life issues - such as tension and limiting beliefs.

The Chakra System

Muladhara chakra is centered in the perineum and the base of the spine and tends to our survival needs. This first chakra is associated with the element of earth, representing both physical and emotional grounding as it aids in our ability to feel secure. This class focusses on our toes, feet, calves and legs in a creatively sequenced 45 minute flow.

Muladhara Chakra (Root Chakra)

Svadhisthana Chakra, our sacral chakra, is associated with the element of water - with flow, letting go, with our creative power. Low back pain and struggles with fertility, something so many of us struggle with, can be associated with a blocked second chakra. An over charged second chakra can often manifest itself in poor boundaries. Svadhisthana, translated as “dwelling in a place of the self”, ties in to the feminine quality of openness. In this class we work our hips with a them of tuning in to our feelings and going with the flow.

Svadisthana Chakra (Sacral Chakra)

This class is all about our third chakra, manipura chakra. Located in the navel (solar plexus), this chakra is associated with the element of fire and is all about how we are able to deal with things, with how we "digest" our life. It relates to self esteem and the power of transformation. The physical focus of this class is twists and core work (with a bit of breathwork to kick things off).

Manipura Chakra (Solar Plexus)

This class focusses on our heart chakra - the center of the chakra system, connecting the lower three chakras with the upper three (which deal more with the world of the spirit than matter). Anahata represents our wholeness and boundless love. We move creatively through heart openers as we work the theme of love and belonging.

Anahata Chakra (Heart Chakra)

Our throat chakra is all about the power of will and knowing that no one outside of ourselves has power over us and the choices we make. It relates to our ability to express ourselves in an authentic way, which when unable to can result in feelings of insecurity, disconnection, and loneliness. In this class we will move creatively focussing on the throat and neck.

Vishuddha Chakra (Throat Chakra)

This is the energy center within the physical body that indicates the development of awareness. When we awaken that inner knowing. we are able to access our truest teacher. When our intuition is blocked, we often limit ourselves and our abilities. This class focusses on forward folds and postures that create contact with our third eye in a creative fashion, at times closing our eyes to really foster that inward journey.

Ajna Chakra (Third Eye)

This last class in the Chakra Series is all about our 7th chakra - Sahasrara Chakra, the crown. It represents our most direct connection with the Divine, facilitating our spiritual development. In this class we build towards Sirsasana, headstand, working with movements that strengthen the core, open the shoulders and prepare us for going upside down. Though I break headstand down in this class, I ask that you please be careful without proper supervision when practicing inversions.

Sahasrara Chakra (Crown)
