This technique brings the practitioner into a deeper and more conscious relaxation and can be particularly helpful for those who have trouble “just letting go”. Once the video is complete, feel free to stay in your savasana as long as you like and explore other meditation techniques while lying down.

Teacher: Cat Noble
Student: Collibrina
This practice is good for those who store tension in the shoulders, neck and jaw, or who have communication issues. This video will demonstrate how to practice a shoulder releasing technique affectionately known as “empty coat sleeves” as well as a pranayama technique called Lion’s Breath to open the throat. This meditation helps to ease tension in the upper back, shoulders, neck, jaw and tongue. Also, practitioners can help to resolve communication issues by noticing if the area feels strained, overworked or stiff. Making this meditation a part of your daily practice can give you a lot of insight into your fifth chakra – your communication center.

Naked Meditation in Motion 3: Breath of Joy & Laughing Yoga!

Full-Video: https://vimeo.com/136328852
(All levels)
Teacher: Cat Noble
Student: Collibrina
This practice is good for those who experience depression.
This video will demonstrate how to practice a pranayama technique known as Breath of Joy and also give a short session of laughing yoga. Both techniques are designed to get the blood flowing and stimulate the third and fourth chakras – our centers of motivation and compassion respectively. Our brains are often thought of as the ultimate control center, but they also respond to feedback from our bodies – mimicking the action of laughter causes our brains to produce the same neurochemicals as it would if we were laughing spontaneously. For this reason, laughing yoga is especially helpful for people dealing with depression. -NYV0064C

Naked Meditation in Motion 1: Walking Meditation!

Full-Video: https://vimeo.com/135100189
(All levels)
Teacher: Cat Noble
Student: Collibrina
This practice is good for those who have trouble sitting still. The traditional picture of meditation consists of a practitioner who is seated, silent and still. This, however, is only one of a nearly infinite menagerie of meditation styles available to practice. Newer practitioners, or those who already spend quite a bit of time sitting, may enjoy these more physically engaging meditation styles either as a precursor to seated meditation, or as a practice in and of themselves. This video will demonstrate how to practice walking meditation, encouraging practitioners to bring mindfulness to a commonplace activity that we often take for granted. We begin slowly, guiding the breath and focus until mindfulness is established, and then there is a silent period to practice maintaining that focus. We end in a short seated meditation for contrast. -NYV0064A

This practice is good for getting in touch with intuition and minimizing stress.

Naked Good Night Yoga 2: Evening Hatha Practice! (Beginner level) -50C

(Beginner level)
Teacher: Gray
Student: Collibrina
In this video Gray leads Collibrina through a short Yoga practice designed for the end of the day.  The practice begins with Collibrina lying and slowing her breath and moves into gentle twisting, which is the main focus of this particular sequence.  Twisting poses can help release tension that is held in the body.  It is also thought that twisting squeezes toxins out of internal organs that are washed away when the twist ends and blood rushes back into the area that was compressed.  This practice assumes that the muscles have been warmed from a day of activity and its goal is to bring the student back to a calm and relaxed state.

Naked Yin Yoga 9: Beginning! (Level: All) -0050A

(Level: All) Teacher: Collibrina
Teacher: Gray
Student: Collibrina
Yin Yoga works on the connective tissue in the body while most yoga practices affect the muscles.  It is a quiet, meditative practice in which poses are held for long periods to allow the tough connective tissue to slowly stretch.  In this practice Gray leads Collibrina through five poses over the course of a half hour (Shoelace, Seal, Seated Twist to the right and to the left and Relaxation Pose).  This is an ideal practice for the start of the day, before the body has warmed up and life becomes active and more Yang-focused.  There are important lessons to be learned from Yin Yoga about surrender and acceptance that are revealed over time.

Naked Office Yoga 12: Yoga for Knee Pain (Level: Beginner)

(Level: Beginner) If we practice without mindfulness, the knees can suffer in yoga.  If you experience knee pain in daily life or during yoga practice, this gentle sequence will teach you to treat your knees with kindness as you gain the benefits of more vigorous variations.  Beginning in tadasana (mountain pose), we bring awareness to the area as we engage the legs.  Triangle pose stretches and strengthens the legs while keeping the knee joint safe.  We move to the wall for Supported Warrior, a wonderful modification for those who feel a lot of strain when lunging.  Finally, wind-releasing pose lubricates the knee joints while providing all-important core engagement.

Naked Office Yoga 11: Asana for Back Pain (Beginner level)

(Beginner level) Between commuting with heavy bags, sitting in a chair for much of the day, holding our arms in a fixed tying position, those of us who work a regular office job place a lot of strain on our spines, resulting in chronic back pain.  This series stretches and strengthens the spine, preventing future injuries and easing past ones.  Cat/cow pose warms and massages the spine, while reclining big toe pose lengthens and stretches it.  A short series of “baby” backbends playfully challenges us to explore how we crunch our lower backs – and how to treat the area with more kindness and compassion.  Finally, wind-releasing pose strengthens the abdominal muscles, which support the lower back so as to prevent further strain.
