In a final gesture of gratitude, Lara invites you to flow though a soothing moon salutation practice, chandra namaskar.  

Less commonly known than its solar equivalent, this simple sequence of postures will teach you to move with steadiness and grounding, to stay close to the earth and to fully receive the restorative benefits of this breath-focused vinyasa.

This episode is only short, and it's perfect to practise in the evenings.

Performers: Steve Allen (guitar), Riley Lee (shakuhachi)

Bonus: Goodnight Moon Salutations

Have your props, blankets and bolsters ready - you’re in for a treat! You’re about to plunge into a full body bliss bath, a deep soak in sensation and melody. Lara will guide you through a series of yin postures - held for up to five minutes - designed to flood the body with sensation, myriad textures, flavours, visions and temperatures. 
 

And once again, Benny Holloway’s ethereal voice and guitar melodies, improvised and spontaneous, accompany Lara’s lyrical instruction and respond to the flow and energetic feel of the sequence – all recorded live in the studio, just for us.

Full Body Marinade: Yin Yoga

This standing sequence homes in on the pelvis, the gateway between upper and lower halves of the body and the holder of SO much tension. 

You’ll move through a series of warrior poses, limbering up connective tissue and strengthening supporting muscle groups, so the rivers of communication can flow more freely between the upper and lower halves of your intuitive body. 

Many yoga practitioners find hip work to not just be physically challenging but also emotionally undamming. Please take care with any sensitive knees and souls.

To accompany, a selection of Philip Glass etudes. His compositions are full of pathos, and the piano-playing, beautifully precise. Let it anchor you in the present, and carry you through the challenging moments.   
 

Music 
Etude No. 5, Philip Glass (9:07) 

Etude No. 4, Philip Glass (8:21) 

Etude No. 2, Philip Glass (7:26) 
 

Performer: Sally Whitwell

Juicy Hips

This strong sequence of balance poses is all about moving from your centre - uddiyana bandha - to find equilibrium even when things feel a bit upside down. Your mat is fertile ground to explore this balancing act, to find ease amongst the effort, and softness in your strength. 



Maybe you can carry this feeling off the mat and into your daily life? Maybe your own exploration of balance in this class can echo the sweet balance you’ll hear in the music, between the resonant strum of the guitar strings, and the warm, penetrating breath of the shakuhachi.  


Music composed and recorded especially for Classic Flow, performed on guitar by Steve Allen and shakuhachi by Riley Lee. 

Sorrow Phillip Houghton arr.  Steve Allen (9:07)
