Yoga practice with Caitlin Rose Kenney: Support your liver, an organ deeply intertwined with your ability to detox and digest, with this short (30 minute) Vinyasa Flow practice. To stimulate the liver, Caitlin Rose has carefully chosen postures that target the liver and the meridian line of the liver. Using the map of Chinese Meridian theory, Caitlin Rose crafts potent yoga classes aimed at restoring and rebalancing your organs. According to Chinese Medicine, your liver is the organ responsible for your inner world and when you are in a state of dissonance, confusion, or hurt — emotions of irritation, anger, and resistance present themselves. Through turning inwards and doing practices to support the liver (like this yoga class) those feelings of aggravation can be transmuted into compassion for self and others.

The class opens with a wide-knee Child's Pose to help you drop-in to your practice and then moves into a heat building sequence that includes twists, core strengthening and hip openers. This session winds-down with a long Pigeon Pose and you have the option to take Savasana to close your practice or switch Yoga Sesh Podcast episodes and go to the Yin Yoga Liver Support Sesh to compliment the dynamic practice you just finished.

Yoga practice with Caitlin Rose Kenney: This yoga class was designed with caregivers in mind and is a powerful practice for all practitioners. The sequence weaves wrist and shoulder openers for mobility in the upper body with long holds in standing poses for strength in the lower body. The variations offered for the hands and shoulders stimulate a branch of the heart meridian that runs from the heart to the hands. This pathway must be open and clear for the intentions in your heart to translate to the work you do with your hands. Whether you are a doctor, therapist, parent, healer, or an artist, you want this pathway to be clear so that your love, creativity, and wisdom is felt by the people you share your life with.

The class opens with variations to stretch the wrists and inner arms, moves into a graceful Warrior 2 flow to warm the body, then progresses into longer holds in standing poses, and culminates in Pigeon Pose variations. Throughout this practice I encourage you to take “knees, chest and chin” to lower down from plank to your mat so that you can stay grounded, harness your energy, and give back to yourself. Note: this practice was designed to work easily for pregnant women who are experienced yogis. If you are pregnant in your second or third trimester, modify your vinyasa (knees, chest and chin) to table top with Cat-Cow, Camel Pose variations, Anahatasana, or go straight from Plank to Upward Facing Dog. Enjoy!

Suggested props: 1 Block

Moves & poses to know: Chair Pose (Utkatasana), Triangle Pose (Trikonasana), Knees-Chest-Chin, Extended Side Angle Pose (Parsvakonasana), Pigeon Pose, & Bridge Pose
