Gently falling back in love
All of us ‘fall off the mat’ sometimes. This can be quite heartbreaking. Here is a short but lovely sequence that might remind you and help you recover your love without pushing too hard.
Cabin Fever:
Yoga for your body and brain. A bunch of nervous system, mood, and icky body moves. 42 minutes. Quality is less than ideal, as I’m recording straight into zoom from a cabin in the woods. But if you’re feeling bleh, this might help.
Alert but not agitated
The goal of practice, according to this lineage, is to bring the body mind to a state that is alert without agitation and calm without being dull.
Not alone
cull up a little support of the ground and the sky during hard times, knowing that a central tenet of yoga philosophy is that we’re not in this alone. Regulate yourself and get movement into what feels ick with no props, no fancy clothes, no requirements. 24 minutes includes savasana.
35 minutes mostly legs
rejuvenating the legs can have a reset the whole effect. Tap into that for an efficient, accessible, but asks for a little stick-to-it-ive-ness practice.
Hamstrings and the back line
The whole posterior chain is a trouble spot for tense bodies, inactive bodies, pandemic bodies. Fine a little room to move, comfort in your body, so that you can find comfort in yourself.
30 minute sādhana shoulders
a short practice can still have room for both motion and rest. This practice will reclaim your space and vitality while still allowing for a five minute savasana and 12 breath pranayama.
