Long holds working on the feet and legs in particular in this class.
If you happen to have an acupressure mat at home, have it to hand, but this is not essential.

Yin Yoga

This 30 minute uses a yoga strap/belt (or anything you can have at home as a substitute) to build strength in the body.
Shoulders, arms, core and legs are all worked, using the strap for EVERY pose, a class in itself and also giving you new ideas on how to use your strap.

If you decide to invest in a yoga strap, check out Holder Eight and use code WILDSOUL10  for a discount on their straps which also double up as a means to carry your yoga mat.

Straps for Strength 30 mins

Well it doesn't look like nature/the weather is quite as ready for summer as what we would have liked so let's take their lead and ease in.. the perfect class if you haven't practiced for a while. In this 45 minute class, we work on movement and mobility without majorly warming up the muscles or getting sweaty (yang). We then move to some longer held slow yin poses before a lovely rebound and savasana. 

Our theme is the lotus mudra - opens the heart chakra and is a symbol of purity. This mudra symbolizes a beautiful bud yearning toward the light, growing out of mud. From there, a flower emerges – making it a symbol of light and beauty emerging from darkness.

Yin & Yang 45mins

Full moon in Spring equinox cacao ceremony and ritual

During this 1 hour vinyasa class we use a yoga belt or strap (or whatever you have to hand, dressing gown belt is fine) to get deeper into the back of the legs and hips, and also work on shoulder mobility. We take a couple of vinyasa (flows) before returning to the strap for longer holds, before a nice twist and relaxation!

1 hour slow flow using a yoga strap/or belt

After starting in child’s pose, we move closer to our edge, with both butterfly (bound angle) and then a reclined bound angle to get a heart opener as well as a hip opener. We return to a seat for wide leg forward fold, and then both legs individually. After a lovely rebound we take deep twists and supported relaxation.

Reset & Refresh class 12 - 40min Yin

After a seated grounding, we come to standing for our warm up and balance. Half sun salutations lead into chair pose, and then to a full sun salutation, to wide leg standing pose. Some squat variations bring us nicely down to the mat for longer held poses for the legs. We end in happy baby and shavasana.

Reset & Refresh class no 11 - 40min Vinyasa lower body

After grounding in childs pose, we get straight into some variations to target the shoulders and sides, before heros pose to sit and warm up the upper body and get deeper into the arms and shoulders. Some seated twists and forward fold follows. Moving down to the hands and knees for cat cows before some fun balance work. Some lovely stretches for the abs come next via cobra work.  We return to the arms and shoulders again while placing the legs into half cow. We finished with a vinyasa or two before relaxation!

Reset & Refresh class no 10 - 40mins Vinyasa upper body

In this Yin class we start gently on the back with Bananasana – full side body stretching. We move into Caterpillar before a long lovely Balasana (childs pose).  Next up is our shoelace, half or full,  on each side before our final resonance which doubles up as shavasana.

Reset & Refresh class no 9 - 40mins Yin

In this class we work on strengthening the legs, hips and glutes kicking off with a gentle hip opener for our opening grounding. We stay with the hips and then utilise a yoga strap/belt for a full sequence with the lower body. After we progress up to down dog, we come down to Pidgeon pose while the hips are nicely warmed. Staying on the belly, we work towards bow pose with lots of options for progression into the full pose or whatever works for you today. We finish with some long holds using the strap again for a final deep stretch before cow face and our relaxation.

Reset & Refresh class no 8 - Vinyasa 40mins lower body

We return to the upper body in this vinyasa flow no 7, starting in childs pose and childs pose variations to wake up the side body, and then progressing into some cat cows with the core fully engaged! We come straight up to down dog to take some vinyasa. We let the lower body get in on the action with some half splits and gentle back bends and forward folds. We elongate the abs with some lovely cobras before getting into the side of body and waistline with side planks. We end our arms and abs with boat poses for a strong core before twisting our way into shavasana.
