This 45-minute yoga class utilizes a longer integration followed by simple Sun Salutations to build mobility in the legs. Lengthen the inner leg line with external rotation, while stretching the outer hips and IT band with some simple twists. Your practice combines static postures and flow. The audio was recorded from a live Zoom class.

Today’s episode is an interview with a yoga teacher, entrepreneur, and innovator. Meet Kacee Must, founder of Citizen Yoga. Her studio, Citizen Yoga, grew out of a need to equip people with effective, every-day coping mechanisms, while emphasizing community and access to mental health resources. Join us for discussions on philosophy and existing in an outrageous world, steering a yoga business through a global pandemic, and how to moving beyond the spiritual jargon (while still maintaining a spiritual practice). Grab your notebook and enjoy a reflective/journaling exercise with questions for uncovering and defining your personal mission.

This 30-minute Progressive Sun Salutation sequence is a highly efficient slow-burn, perfect as either a stand-alone practice or as the precursor to further movement. "Progressive" here means the sequence begins with recognizable, foundational shapes and patterns, and gradually adds layers of complexity and refinement.  Progressive sequencing is a highly versatile technique with many possible variations and outcomes, housed within a predictable pattern of alternating lunges. Grab your mat, and let's move! 

The version of Sun Salutations offered here contains 12 linked postures that are performed as one continuous exercise. Each pose physically counteracts the one before, alternately expanding and contracting, regulating the breath, increasing circulations, and building flexibility in your spine. Sun Salutations are the perfect building block for your home practice sequence. There is an inherent repetition present within Sun Salutations that is, itself, meditative. If you only have a few minutes to move today, be sure to incorporate a few rounds of this foundational Soorya Namasker for a full body stretch.

Today’s episode is an interview with a yoga teacher, educator, story-teller, and entrepreneur dedicated to creating healing spaces in the yoga community. Meet Dr. Terry Harris, co-founder and instructor at The Collective STL, which is the only Black-owned, donation-based yoga studio serving the north St. Louis community. Join us to more about Terry's journey into yoga, the "love story" that truly is The Collective STL, the role of restorative justice in healing spaces, and what it takes to implement wellness practices into an entire school district. Additionally, enjoy a 5-min gentleness meditation led by Terry himself (you need this goodness in your day).
