This is a yoga sequence welcome to all levels except super beginner. Do not attempt this practice if you have leg, wrist, or midsection body injuries.

In this session, we develop our Gentle Chair Yoga practice to include standing poses. The chair is used as a prop in variations of Downward Dog, Warrior 1, Warrior 2, and Tree pose. These exercises are beneficial for developing balance and working through the full range of motion of the legs, especially for practitioners who are able to stand but who are not (yet) quite steady on their feet.

The human body takes a lot of strain from standing jobs such as retail, food service and preparation, and health care. The hard surfaces upon which we stand and walk certainly don’t help the situation. This video will demonstrate a sequence of yoga poses to loosen a tight lower back and hamstrings, bring mobility and strength to the ankles and feet, as well as build strength in the legs to prevent damage to the lower joints. It is recommended to practice this sequence every day in the morning upon waking and at night before sleeping. If this is not possible, then at least three times per week, once a day. Practitioners should always listen to the “yes” and “no” signals of their own bodies, focusing on the internal feeling of where the pose is working, not the external shape of how it looks.

We continue the Beginner Pilates series with an exploration of the 5 classic Pilates exercises that make up “The Ab Series”. Although all of Pilates is about strengthening the core, these five moves done in a sequence that gets progressively more difficult are particularly beneficial for working the abdominals in a focused, efficient way. In this session, the classic Ab Series is shown with modifications to make it more accessible to beginners, but these high energy precision moves are among the most challenging beginner exercises.

Breaking up sucks, don’t we all know. It can often leave us feeling worthless and depressed, and as a result lethargic and not interested in things we once found enjoyable, including physical activity. This video is designed for anyone who has gone through a breakup and has maybe neglected their yoga practice as a result, or anyone looking for a remedy for depression. Lots of attention will be given to the heart chakra and the hips, as these are areas where we tend to carry lots of emotional baggage and tension. No matter what your situation is, yoga can be the perfect way to lift even a small weight off of your shoulders, so take a deep breath because you’ve earned it!
In this video you will learn: Child’s Pose, Cat and Cow Poses (Spinal Extension), Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog), Cobra Pose (heart opener), Lunges (hip opener)
