September 08, 2020 Nest: Safety and Surrender in Practice
Ohhhh Yogis I LOVE this practice. This is one I often teach when I travel. It's novel and fresh. It also feels so amazing. You'll be using a blanket throughout practice as a nest and prop. Some of the positions are a little different so just follow along step by step and you will love how supported you feel. We explore polyvagal theory in an experiential way in this practice. I want for you to feel safe, supported and peaceful in this class.

September 01, 2020 Yin + Somatics: Really Let Go
Yin blended with a novel somatic practice. This practice is for you if you have “tight” hip flexors or low back discomfort. Our effort will serve to educate the entire hip. We’ll explore subtle practices to stimulate the vagal nerve to facilitate deep relaxation. You need a bolster and two blocks for class, though you can easily get by without them. If you prefer to watch this class, go to https://online.soundmethodyoga.com/2020/09/01/really-let-go/. If you are fired up about you and just want to learn more enroll in my free video course!

August 25, 2020 Yin + Somatics: Sliding and Gliding
This is a great practice to do if you need a little TLC. Do it when your hips feel a little tight or if you are suffering with some SIJ or piriformis discomfort. We will explore the unsung hero of good and functional movement, the fascia. Take the time to really feel and integrate these ideas as you move and breathe. It feels great! And you never even have to sit up!

August 05, 2020 Nothing from Something: Yin + Somatics for Letting Go
We train our tissues for strength, endurance, range of motion, stamina etc... But we never seem to train for letting go. So many of us have areas of our body that hold chronic or parasitic tension. These areas need special care and techniques to release. This practice blends Yin and Somatics to facilitate letting go. For practice you will need a bolster, a blanket and two blocks or items that can substitute for these props.

June 14, 2020 Some Love For Your Hip Flexors
Sometimes you have to give in to the dreariness of life's seasons, and sometimes you need to ride above it. Often when we curl up physically we shrink energetically as well. This is a fairly challenging Yin practice designed to physically and energetically expand. We focus on the hip flexor tissues. If you prefer a video to an audio recording, you will find this class at https://online.soundmethodyoga.com/2020/05/28/some-love-for-your-hip-flexors/--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mandy-l-ryle/message

June 07, 2020 Stress Less
This is a practice to address stress “head on”. We will work especially the neck and shoulders since those areas are most commonly associated with stress. We will look at the tension in a more scientific way to see if we can unravel it in a kinder, more effective way.
