Some of you may know I have severe insomnia.  One thing I learned over many years is that surrender is a key component of coping with insomnia. Instead of being frustrated that I can’t sleep, relaxing my body and surrendering my mind in wakefulness leaves me with much more energy and vitality.

This yoga nidra practice that Lakshmi Nair (Satya Yoga Collective for People of Color) and I created is a wonderful way of surrendering mind and body in a restful and gentle way. You will practice guided meditations including soothing visualizations, following your breath, and relaxation of your body, part by part..

There is also an introduction to yoga nidra which explains details about how to do this practice. You can skip this intro when you become familiar with the practice. The yoga nidra practice begins at approximately 7 min.

This Yoga Nidra Practice is available to ALL users (Premium Donation users can access the special recordings using their usernames and passwords.  Premium Yoga Nidra practices feature music and ambient noise that, in my experience, deepen meditation as I do the practice.

Happy April! This ~75 Vinyasa Flow Practice leads you in lots of different kinds of Twists. Twisting Asanas (postures) are thought to reduced Kapha, or a sense of saturation that can build up in Winter.  After a mellow warm up, practice Navasana (boat pose) arnd forearm place variations for core strength. Practice Sun Salutations that challenge leg endurance. There is also a 5 minute Savasana (corpse pose/ final resting posture). Enjoy! As always feel free to Contact Me or visit one of my Public Classes.

The "Dragon Dance" is a vinyasa practice that utilizes unusual sets of postures. You will need to focus in order to follow the practice - for me, "taking a break from thinking" and focusing on something else fun and engaging eases depression. Core and arm strengthening. Sweaty and Athletic Practice.

This ~20 yoga practice is appropriate for strong beginners to intermediate students.  It focuses on opening shoulders and hips making it a great “study-break” or work break yoga practice. This Podcast is also GREAT for keeping your yoga new-years resolution on track.  The good news is, your resolution doesn’t have to be heavy to be worthwhile.  A little yoga is better than no yoga at all!

Here is “puppy-dog pose” for those of you who are not familiar:

To do “1/2 puppy dog pose” just fold one arm so that your forearm is parallel to the top edge of your yoga mat.  Rest your forehead on that forearm or wrist.

If you would like to practice yoga with me in person find me at one of my regularly scheduled Group Classes.

As always, if you have any questions or comments on this podcast, contact me!

Namaste!

This simple, soothing practice provides a gently steady flow, appropriate whether you are prenatal yogi or not. Fit some “me time” into and practice body consciousness, and soothe yourself with long breaths.  Beginner Yogis with only a little experience will find this practice accessible.  An approximately four minute Savasana with a relaxing meditation is included in the end of this practice. You may like to have accessories such as 2 yoga blocks (or similar tightly rolled towels), a blanket, and a strap (dog leash, bathrobe belt..use your imagination!

This approximately 20 minute Yoga Flow, inspired by Shiva Rea, will help you calm and de-stress during the holidays, or any stressful time.  I say “Oh Crap It’s Christmas” because I personally find Christmas really disruptive and stressful! I enjoy time with family but I also need to be quietly in my own space a lot.  Guided by your breath, you will create a quiet space for  yourself with this practice.  Enjoy!

This approximately 75 minute practice will provide whole-body energizing movement and unique ways to strengthen your core. It is appropriate for level 2/3, but there are many modifications offered. Have fun in a brief "yoga play time" where you will be invited to practice Courage & Determination through practicing Sirsasana, or headstand. If you have neck issues consider using the "yoga play time" to do any of your favorite yoga poses.

And lucky you, there's a VIDEO for this one: https://youtu.be/SM9M-0_vugg

"This is the true yoga: the unbinding of the bonds of sorrow. Practice this yoga with determination and a courageous heart." - Bhagavad Gita 6.26 (translation by Stephen Mitchell)
