Rocket is a type of Vinyasa adapted from Ashtanga, making the practice accessible while keeping it challenging!

Rocket

This is the Rocket 1 sequence, essentially a modified version of the Ashtanga Primary Series. It's quite a dynamic sequences, half standing and half on the floor. Please do what you're comfortable to try, and always modify as needed if you're working with any concerns or injuries! ☺️

Rocket 1

What is Hatha vs Vinyasa? Hatha is a bit slower, and with less "flow" between the postures. It's great for both Beginners and people with lots of experience (sometimes slow longer holds are more challenging than quick movement!).

Hatha Yoga

A nice compact Hatha class - enjoy some slower movement to connect your body and your breath!

Hatha 30 Minutes

A shorter version of the same Hatha class :)

Hatha 45 Minutes

Remember to breathe, try to stay present, and avoid any pain in your joints - if you need to modify or skip any postures for this reason, please do and listen to your body!

Hatha Hour

This series is going to be filled with super descriptive breakdowns of HOW to do specific postures or common sequences. Modifications for everything will be explained so you can have confidence to join almost any class and understand what variations suit you best!

Tutorials

This video I explain loads of options to adjust your Bharadvajrasana pose - using blocks, and up to the full posture in the way it's done in the Ashtanga Intermediate Series. ☺️

Bharadvajrasana: how to modify & do the full pose

Part of the Ashtanga Primary Series, and some of my Sattva and Vinyasa classes (can even make an appearance in Hatha and Yin!). Support yourself with props if you like - blocks, pillows, blankets - be creative 😀

Guide to Upavistha Konasana

I'd imagine this pose won't come up that much in most classes! I do teach it in some of the Sattva sequences, especially the ones focusing on the sides of the body. It's a really great pose for stretching the lateral (outside) edge of the body, and developing strength to support the kneeling pose. It's useful to know how to guide yourself into the pose and how to modify once we're here, as you can see in this video there are quite a few options for variations you can try!

Guide to Parighasana - Gate Pose

One of the early seated postures in the Ashtanga Primary Series, take some time to feel this one out as it can often be rushed through and poorly understood! I forgot to mention one thing in the video - your knees align with your hips on both legs. Your knees may or may not be touching each other on the inside edge (depends on your own anatomy!) so just align your knees with your hips straight forward 😀

How to try Triang Mukhaikapada Paschimottanasana

Eka Pada Koundinyasana II is the full Sanskrit name. This arm balance looks quite tricky - but understanding a few key tips can help you start to find your way into this flying pose! Please only try this if you're warmed up - for experienced yoga practitioners only!

How to try Koundinyasana

One of the more challenging / uncomfortable postures in the Ashtanga Primary Series. If you try this please do it in the middle of your practice when you are super warm, it's quite deep - so modifications are given to adjust the pose depending on how you're feeling when you practice.

Kurmasana and options for modifications

"Half Lord of the Fishes Pose" - some tips to help you work into a bind, also translatable to other postures that bind. Please only try if you have experience in yoga as there is a risk of injury!

How to bind in Ardha Matsyendrasana

A nifty trick to help you try Bakasana/Crow Pose if you have some blocks! Let me know how it worked for you! 😀

How to try Bakasana with blocks - for Beginners!!

Here I explain in detail how to do a traditional Sun Salutation B, and how to modify. Please watch the Sun Salutation A Tutorial first, as that is where you will find the HOW to do Chaturanga, Up Dog and Down Dog. I do not go over these postures in this tutorial! 
In this video, I explain Utkatasana (chair) and Virabhdrasana A (Warrior 1) and transitions & correct breathing. Enjoy!

Sun Salutation B Tutorial

Detailed description of how to do Sun Salutation A - the starting place for Ashtanga Yoga, and one of the fundamental sequences you will encounter in Vinyasa and perhaps Hatha classes (mine anyways!!) I explain thoroughly how to modify each pose in the sequence for any level of yoga experience. Please watch this if you are new to my classes, or watch as a refresher to make sure you haven't formed any bad habits in your regular practice, especially if you are experiencing any pain in this sequence 😀

Postures:
Urdhva Hastasana
Uttanasana
Ardha Uttanasana
Chaturanga Dandasana
Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward Facing Dog)
Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog)
& correct breathing

These videos are only for practitioners with experience with Ashtanga Half/Primary Series. The videos in this series are only counted with very little explanation of the postures, you are expected to be familiar with the postures to participate in these classes for safety reasons.

Ashtanga - Counted

This video is for current Ashtanga practitioners only, there is not much explanation given for the postures as you are expected to know the sequence and movements with breath. This is for safety reasons as the postures can cause injury if not done correctly and with care. Please modify for any injuries you are work with or any other limitations that may alter your practice. Remeber to breath, keep an open mind and have fun!

Ashtanga Full Primary *Advanced*

This class is only for current practitioners of Ashtanga Yoga, as the postures are not given much explanation and you are expected to have familiarity with them before participation. This is for safety reasons.

Ashtanga Half Primary - Counted

These pre recorded classes are for those with some experience. All classes start with sun salutations to warm up, a standing sequence, seated sequence and closing sequence. Variations are provided for those who are newer to practice, to those advancing. Please only do what you are comfortable to try - you are responsible for your safety!

Beginners Yoga

Ashtanga is known as one of the more challenging types of yoga - the original 
'Power Yoga" even! This video goes over most of the standing sequence in detail. The standing sequence is the same world wide, note that I have left out a couple postures and modified the more challenging postures with beginner/intro friendly variations that are accommodating to many people. Remember that you will learn this sequence over time through consistent repetition, it may seem fast to start, but you will begin to notice your body adapt to the sequence as you repeat. Most importantly breathe 😃

Beginners Ashtanga

This pre recorded class is for those newer to a Yoga practice, or for those who want a gentler practice. More explanation of postures and a much slower pace than the All Levels classes. Our focus is on the back of the body - lengthening and strengthening. 

Beginners Sattva Back Body June 2020

Mindful Sonder is the conscious awareness that we all have, and all are, living our own personal truths. Working the mind, body and spirit, I take a holistic approach to wellbeing, which manifests itself for me in three areas: Life Coaching, Nutrition and Yoga.

Mindful Sonder

Please sign up to receive daily emails at: https://mindfulsonder.lpages.co/30-day-challenge/

This past year has been challenging us to FEEL, because it is only through feeling (the good, the bad, and everything in between), and through connecting with ourselves, that we can return home to ourselves - to our truths, to our magnificence, to our wholeness. This 30 Day Challenge has been designed to help you on your journey back to yourself, through coaching, meditation, breathwork and movement.

30 Day Home to Wholeness Challenge

Values help us to create the kind of future we would like to experience and determine how we show up in life. “Values” as a word often gets thrown around, but many of us rarely stop to ask what this means to us and how it might impact our lives. This video is all about uncovering your values and creating a values statement to keep you accountable to the kind of person you want to be and life you want to be living!

Day 1 - Values

Wrist exercises help to keep the wrists flexible and strong, and help our range of motion while preventing stress injuries. Without the right mobility and strength our wrists become vulnerable and are often the first to become sore when starting our yoga journey. In this video, I will show you both how to strengthen and stretch this part of the body - with exercises that you can do before your yoga practice and after!

Day 2 - Wrist Exercises

Today's class is about our core, but not just the physical core - our inner core as well, representing our center of vitality; our power and passion. Our core is the location of manipura chakra and uddiyana bandha (abdominal lock), and represents the seat of power in the body! In this video, I  will take you through both the core's anatomical and metaphysical importance as I guide you through some of my favourite fiery core exercises - tapping into that fire from the inside out!

Day 3 - Core/Inner Fire

Knowing our purpose and having meaning in our lives also gives us a sense of place, which in turn gives us a sense of belonging - something I spent most of my life searching for. If you, like me, have struggled for years to know what you wanted to do with your life, I hope that this video will serve as a conversation starter that takes some of the stress out of a heavy theme!

Day 4 - Purpose

In this video, I will talk you through prana (life force) and help you better understand pranayama (breath) such as yoga's ujjayi breath. I will also share with you my favourite breathing technique for stressful situations - box breathing (please avoid the breath holds if you are pregnant!)!

Day 5 - Introduction to Breath, Ujjayi and Box Breat

Asking for help can be hard and sometimes leaning on support in our practice can be too. There is so much about our practice that mirrors our lives. We are hardwired to want to do things on our own. We tend to fear being seen as weak, needy or not enough on our own. Being able to ask for help, to lean on others, requires vulnerability - which is essential in human connection. It is recognising the strength in vulnerability and confidence needed in order to not associate help with something negative. In this video we use a wall for support to help improve our practice.

Day 6 - Wall Drills/ Leaning into Support

Time to sit back and relax as I guide you through a 10 minute meditation on truths we all need to spend more time acknowledging and accepting. Allow yourself to simply be, as you tune in to my words allowing anything that resonates to remain with your sub conscience.

Day 7 - I Know This Much Is True Meditation

Before we go into practices for setting up our goals for success, we need to spend a bit of time looking deeper into what our goals really are. Keeping in mind that there are varying degrees of goals - from type and long term ones to daily ones - we will start by defining our goals and then going deeper into how we achieve them!

Day 8 - Goals

Do you struggle with back discomfort? The truth is that most of us do, and we do so for lack of a better understanding of our anatomy and the impacts of our sedentary lifestyles. This video will talk you through a basic understanding of the anatomy of the back, with some exercises to help you strengthen and stretch your back chain.

Day 9 - Back Health

In this video I talk you through alternate nostril breathing, called Nadi Sodhana, as we strive to find balance in our breath and mind-body. This is a powerful technique you can use to settle your mind, and emotions. We regulate the flow of air through our nasal passages and in so doing find harmony between our masculine and feminine energies. When we bring two of the main energy channels, Ida and Pingala, into balance, the central Nadi called Shushumna then begins to flow. Prana, or life energy, moves freely when both sides are equal.

Day 10 - Nadi Sodhana

In this video I guide you through another meditation, about our energetic vibration. Self-awareness is so important. Studies of the brain have shown that changing thought patterns can lead to the old neural pathways withering away, allowing for new ones to become established in their place. By calming and resetting the nervous system (tapping into our parasympathetic nervous system) we can change patterns of the mind. Movement, meditation, breathwork all help to achieve this by being in tune with our entire being.

Day 11 - Our Energetic Vibration Meditation

If thoughts are the language of the mind, then perhaps our emotions are the language of our body. We already focus a lot on our minds – trying to understand our thoughts, quiet the unnecessary chatter, control the thoughts we choose to give our attention to – but, what about our emotions? In this video I talk to you about the importance of understanding ALL of our emotions and what they are trying to tell us about ourselves.

Day 12 - Understanding Our Emotions

Sitting all day can wreak havoc on our body, in particular our thoracic spine, neck and hip flexors. In this video I will take you through some nice yoga movements you can do all from the comfort of your chair!

Day 13 - Anti-desk Yoga

Sit back and relax as I guide you through another meditation all about my hopes for you ❤️

Day 14 - My Hopes For You Meditation

There seems to be a direct correlation between people pleasing and boundaries. Throughout life, it is vital for us to know and understanding what our limits are. Unhealthy boundaries cause emotional pain that can lead to things like co-dependency, depression, anxiety, and even physical illness caused by stress. Loose boundaries lead to disconnected relationships.

Day 15 - People Pleasing & Boundaries

Kapalabhati, (fire breath or skull shining breath) is a more advanced and powerful style of pranayama that helps to heats the body. It is an energizing practice that will clear the lungs and calm the mind while strengthening the diaphragm and abdominal muscles. Most styles of breathwork tend to focus the emphasis of muscular control on the inhalation. Kapalabhati reverses the normal flow of breath so that the exhalation is active and the inhalation is passive and without effort. Do not practice this if you are pregnant.

Day 16 - Kapalabhati Breath

As we spend so much time seated, it's little surprise we struggle with tight hips, but often we don't realise that tightness in the hips isn't just physical. In this video I share with you the deeper meaning of our hips together with some exercises in mobility and stretches to open up this area of the body.

Day 17 - Hips & Healing

We get personally invested – emotionally and/or mentally – in the outcome of things we desire and the moment we feel we have lost control, stress and anxiety rear their angry heads. This video will talk you through stress and anxiety - what causes it and what we can do to manage these emotions when they arise.

Day 18 - Dealing with Stress & Anxiety

The glutes muscles are responsible for hip extension, internal rotation, and abduction of the hip, that when strong, can help to prevent and avoid muscle imbalances that can lead to mobility issues. Strong glutes are essential to pelvic stability helping to prevent lower back and knee pain.
In this short video, I will take you through some exercises to work the glutes - it’s a fiery one! Just remind yourself it is short :)

Day 19 - Strong Glutes

Today we move on to exploring our thoughts and those we convince ourselves of that hold us back - our limiting beliefs. Enjoy this meditation all about challenging our beliefs in the hopes that it will inspire us into action.

Day 20 - Challenging Our Beliefs Meditation

Despite our accomplishments, we somehow keep pulling ourselves back into not enoughness and imposter syndrome. We tell ourselves stories over and over that we convince ourselves they are true. This happens to all of us growing up and it moulds the kind of people we become and the limits we set for ourselves throughout our lives. In this video I talk to you about limiting beliefs and personality types associated to high achievers that can result in imposter syndrome. I hope it serves to inspire you and encourage you to challenge those limiting beliefs of not enoughness as we all strive towards greatness.

Day 21 - Limiting Beliefs & Imposter Syndrome

Don't let the thought of arm balances keep you away from this video! This video is more about our mind playing tricks on us and holding us back - arm balances are just there to show you YOU CAN! If we don’t change the way we think, our lives won’t change and self criticism will merely reinforce the very thought patterns we want to change.

Day 22 - Arm Balances & Self Belief

Do you find meditation intimidating or stressful even? Sometimes if we struggle with stress, anxiety or depression, sitting in silence allowing our thoughts to flow can actually have a negative impact on our wellbeing. But just because you cannot sit in silence, doesn't mean you can't meditate. In this class, I will walk you through a simple sequence, that we will repeat multiple times fully focussed on our breath as we get into a nice, moving meditation!

Day 23 - Moving Meditation

Affirmations are statements that are repeated in order to help uplift us. It may seem simple, but a set of positive words can dramatically improve our mental wellbeing. Simply by repeating affirmations, we can create more love, acceptance and self-belief, improve our health, and move forward in our lives. The brain takes what we say quite literally, which is why affirmations work! You can use positive affirmations to accomplish anything… so what are you waiting for?

Day 24 - Affirmations Meditation

Everyone has the capacity to be creative, whether we realise it or not. By tapping into our creative side, we find new ways to look at things that can provide us with solutions to problems in all aspects of our life. In this video I will talk you through some drills you can play with in your socks.

Day 25 - Embracing Creativity with Sock Drills

Our shadow is what we would call the dark side of our personality that consists of our more negative emotions and all that we deny ourselves. It is everything we cannot see in ourselves on a conscious level. The trouble is that it can operate without us really knowing. What is fascinating is that what we hide from or deny in ourselves, we more readily see in others. Our ego uses this as a self-defence mechanism whereby we project our own insecurities of how we see ourselves, and by projecting on someone else, we don’t have to take responsibility for it. The more we project, the more we distort reality. The harder we are on ourselves, the harder it is to confront our shadow (and essentially ourselves) with compassion.

Day 26 - Shadow Work

I share something I wrote during the first lockdown in this meditation to help us navigate the struggles we have inevitably been facing during this challenging time. I hope it reminds you of our interconnectedness; that we are united and in this together. You are not alone.,

A Meditation in Isolation

Our words have incredible power. They shape our beliefs, which in turn drive our behaviour and essentially create our world. They hold both emotional and energetic reactions meaning that if we can remain aware to their energy through things like our emotions, we can then intentionally make choices that impact the frequency we put out into the world and create realities more in line with what we desire.

Day 28 - The Power of Our Words

This meditation guides us through each chakra with centering thoughts and affirmations to help us find alignment and clarity as we journey home to ourselves.

Day 29 - Chakra Meditation

You've made it to the end of our challenge - well done! It took commitment to get here and I hope you have enjoyed this journey back to yourself. Watch this video, and when you are done, pop this playlist on and DANCE IT OUT!

Day 30 - When In Doubt, Dance It Out

Yin yoga is a slower and more meditative type of yoga that targets your deep connective tissues, such as your fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. This gentle practice gives you the space to journey inwards and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body.

Yin Yoga

A beautiful full body yin class that focusses on the theme of letting go - physically, emotionally, to our attachments, to our thoughts. Learning to sit with the discomfort as we create space for transformative change.

Yin to Let Go

This is a hips and heart focussed yin class with curated music to help you go deeper, in both the physical and subtle body. We explore both suffering and joy, attachment and aversion - the duality that exists in all we experience.

Hips & Heart Yin

In our yin practice we apply moderate stress to our connective tissue, increasing circulation in the joints and improving our flexibility. A beautiful full body yin practice as we journey within looking at our attachments.

Dive In to Yin (Full Body)

In our yin practice we apply moderate stress to our connective tissue, increasing circulation in the joints and improving our flexibility. Yin is a great complement to more active forms of yoga and in this class we focus predominantly on the upper body.

Yin Upper Body

This yin class focusses on stretches for the lower back, holding postures for roughly three minutes as we encourage the body (and subtle body) to surrender and let go.

Yin Lower Back

This is my first Yin class and I am excited to bring you many more as a gentler addition to your practice. This class gives you time and space to process emotions and move deeper into postures. Props are not required but you may find them useful. If you do not have any, feel free to grab a pillow and blanket.

Lower Body Yin

The kleshas are considered to be afflictions of the mind that cause suffering and are viewed as barriers to enlightenment (Samadhi) in both Buddhism and Hinduism. Having the tools to overcome the challenges we experience in our lives is something Yoga philosophy can help us with.

The Kleshas

The last of the kleshas, Abhinivesha represents as much a fear of death as it does a deep clinging to life as we know it; a fear of change. This is a beautiful, creative vinyasa flow that explores our awareness and brings us closer to the non dual nature of our true self.

Abhinivesha - Fear

Dvesha is our tendency to avoid the things that cause unhappiness. It is the other side of the coin to Raga (attachment) forcing us to see everything as positive or negative. This is a beautifully, creative ladder flow as we continue to tap into our true nature.

Dvesha - Aversion

This class focusses on the third Klesha - Raga, which is the attachment to things that cause us pleasure. The trouble with attachment to external things is that they are fleeting, whereas our essence is constant. This is a fun and creative class that challenges you to not get attached to the poses and what you know.

Raga - Attachment

In yogic philosophy, the ego is essentially everything that blinds us from seeing our True ‘Self.’ This includes the false perception of seeing the mind and body as the True Self.  This is a playful flow that challenges you to spot the ego, on and off the mat.

Asmita - the Ego

In Sanskrit, the word vidya means true knowledge - a deep inner knowing and higher wisdom. The prefix ‘a’ essentially means ‘not’, so Avidya naturally represents the delusion of the mind impacted by our conditioning and life experiences that cloud our understanding of our true essence. This is a beautiful flowy class as we navigate the greatest cause of human suffering.

Avidya - Our Delusional Mind

These are videos in which I share themes I have found important to consider on our journey to self discovery and development. I hope they serve as conversation starters for you to delve into more deeply.

Life Coaching

This 1 hour webinar was hosted by The Arts Club focusing on the theme if resilience and how we can cultivate it in times of adversity. I go through an overview of how the brain works and responds to stress and then talk about tools to build emotional agility and mindfulness to positively impact our thought patterns and emotions during difficult situations.

How to Build Resilience in Times of Adversity

Even before the physical postures of our practice called asana, are the ethical principles that are intended to guide how we relate to other people and how we take care of ourselves. There are 5 yamas, moral guidelines, that help us to build the foundations for the real benefits of yoga.

The Yamas Series

This class is all about the first Yama, Ahimsa, which represents non-violence in our actions and thoughts towards ourselves and others. Non-violence is defined by honest compassion and true love, which is at the essence of this class as we embrace our body and move with intention.

Ahimsa - Non Violence

Moving through this theme in a creative 45 minute flow, in this practice we explore satya or truth -recognising that if we can’t be honest with ourselves first, we cannot really be honest in any other part of life. We view truths from our thoughts and perspectives, often reacting from a place of fear and conditioning. Satya helps us to know that we are not our thoughts and when we do so, a larger gap forms between the ego self and the Self.

Satya - Truthfulness

In this mobility focussed sequence, we explore the third Yama Asteya - in particular as it relates to our feelings of not enoughness. Asteya means more than just not taking what is not ours, but also refers to the stealing of time, thoughts, energy, emotions and ideas. Its fundamental implication is that we should refrain from looking outside ourselves to other people, things, and situations to make us happy and fulfilled.

Asteya - Non Stealing

Often related to celibacy, this fourth Yama is more about the maintenance of our vitality and the right use of our energy.  In a world or heightened senses that draw us away from our greater good, Brahmacharya turns the mind inward as we strive to balance the senses. This creative yoga sequence, while practicing Brahmacharya, helps us redirect our attention and energy to that which serves our greater good - our inner experience.

Brahmacharya - Moderation of the Sense

This class is all about TWISTS as we work to detox and let go through the teachings of the las Yama, Aparigraha. Move through this creative flow as we learn to free ourselves to be present in the now, acknowledging that everything in life is temporary.

Aparigraha - Non Attachment

Niyamas are "duties or “personal observances” intended as constructive tools for cultivating happiness. They are the second step in Patañjali‘s classical definition of the eight limbs of Yoga and help us create habits for wellbeing, on and off the mat. Exploring the philosophical foundations of our practice is an important part of the journey back to ourselves and the essence of yoga.

The Niyamas Series

In this combination class of power flow and relaxation, we explore the last Niyama, Ishvara Pranidhana, as we surrender to the discomfort, the strength and the power of our postures and movements, recognising the growth that occurs when we allow ourselves to be fully present in the moment.

Ishvara Pranidhana - Surrender

In this class we explore our individual awareness, learning about the fourth Niyama Svadhyaya and the understanding of the Self as we move through a flow all around the journey towards crow pose. Recognising that our practice mirrors our life, we move with awareness working towards a peak pose and higher truth.

Svadhyaya - Self Study

This class is all about igniting our inner fire, as we learn to rid our minds of toxic thoughts and improve our abilities through practice. Working our manipura chakra and our self confidence, we use tapas to challenge ourselves, to step out of our comfort zones, to achieve what we want with dedication, determination and discipline.

Tapas - Discipline

Searching outside ourselves for happiness in any form, whether it be substances, people or possessions, just leads to yet more searching. Santosha, which means contentment, is about acceptance of what is. When we can accept our truths, we are better equipped to move forward. Explore this Niyama as we move through a creative sequence.
