Nude Kundalini Yoga 2: Intermediate ~ Advanced

(Level: Intermediate – Advanced)
This series builds on the previous, diving deeper into activating the kundalini energy, detoxifying, and healing the body. Here we focus on intent and intensity. Raising the energy and re-distributing it through blocks in the body. Proper intent during breath retention is essential for re-distributing the proper flow of prana in the subtle channels.

*This series raises more heat and is not suggested for beginners. It is also advisable to pace yourself and not over do these exercises, even if you are a more experienced yogi.

Naked Office Yoga 6: For Your Head and Neck

(Level: Basic) Office Yoga for your head and neck directly addresses the chronic tension that creeps into your life as an office worker. Moving your neck through a complete range of motion is a great way to relax — it’s so natural you probably do it already — but the neck’s flexibility is also is vulnerability, which is why guided instruction can be so beneficial, particularly if your neck is already sore or tight. In this sequence, you will also explore key locations in the head where tension is stored: the jaw, tongue and eyes. These practices may seem silly or too small to matter; it is precisely that tension of the mind which this practice can also begin to soften.

Releasing Fun 1 (Naked Yoga School Video)

(LEVEL: Beginners) The series is intended to present the practitioner with an opportunity to focus on whimsy and explore whether or notwhimsy may be the best medicine. Somewhere along the lines yoga in the US has taken a funny turn whereby it has decided to compete with bootcamps and the trumped of drama of reality weight loss shows and we now find ourselves packed into classes with toes in our faces and hard bodied actresses telling us we are not disciplined enough, even though we have worked the past seven days straight, and still don’t have enough money to get a tooth filled. Thus in a world of pure stress the antidote may be non judgemental play, and play you will in sun salutations based on the Sivananda series, triangle pose and some core strengtheners followed by a small introduction to the practice of Yin yoga, where the focus is on loosening up the connective tissues.

Naked Prenatal Yoga 1: The Upper and Lower Bodies (Asana for pregnant women)

(All Levels) We tend to disassociate our upper bodies from our lower bodies because of taken-for-granted improper ergonomics and cultural habits, like chairs, cement, wearing shoes, incorrectly carrying weight or reaching for something.

This becomes particularly crucial during pregnancy due to the radical increase of weight and fluids.

In this practice, you will learn: Baddha Konasana (Cobbler Pose) w/Cactus Arms; Thumbs in Armpits; Oval Breathing, Exhilarating Toe Pose w/ Namaste Behind Back; Garudasana (Eagle Pose) Arms; Gomukhasana (Cow Pose) Arms, Counter Toe Pose, Gomukhasana (Cow Pose) Arms and Legs.
