This yoga sequence is designed for nude models, like me, who need to keep crazy poses for long hours. This class contains a lot of twisting and forward folding to help undo all of the back arching that is often required in professional modeling poses. There is also a lot of core work to help stabilize the body to hold poses in a modeling, yoga, or general life context. Relatively high energy sequencing with many hip opening stretches at the cool down towards the end. Not recommended for beginners.

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)

The styles of yoga most popular around the world these days tend to focus on asana, the poses. Traditionally, however, yoga is considered to have eight “limbs” or aspects, with asana being the third. All of the limbs work together to create the full practice, and no single limb is more important or necessary than another. Pranayama, translated in English as “breath work”, is the fourth limb. The way that we breathe controls the flow of “prana” (like qi or life force energy) through the body.
This video will teach practitioners the bandhas (energetic locks to move prana up the spinal column), as well as nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), which balances the two main energetic channels in the body and can help to focus and balance the mind. Practitioners will learn how to employ the bandhas alone and in a few different asana. We will also learn proper technique for nadi shodhana, including how to properly incorporate the bandhas.

Collibrina leads a hip-opening practice that could relieves minor sciatica and releases hip tension. There are two variations on pigeon pose in this practice as well as some strengthening chair pose interspersed with the hip stretching poses. This sequence is recommended for those who are strong beginners to advanced in their yoga practice. This practice is not recommended for those with severely crippling sciatica as it is still not gentle enough. Consult your doctor before doing any yoga at this strong beginner level if you have any history of health problems with your hips.

Students will learn to make use of their own kitchen space for the purpose of practicing yoga. Ideal for anyone without a lot of space, studio apartment dwellers and those who would rather stay at home than practice in the studio. No previous yoga experience is necessary, and depending on the kitchen being practiced in, postures can be modified to utilize space.
