As the not so subtle image shows, we begin with the physical and go inward. Even if you don’t have time to check in with each layer sometimes just remembering that we take care of our physical form because it houses a precious enlivened being (you’re the precious enlivened being) can help our emotions regulate a bit and our stress to come down.
As this thumbnail implies this is a gentle class and we begin on the ground.
Props:
– Yoga Blanket or an extra mat if you’ve got one. If not don’t worry I will present a workable alternative.
– 2 blocks or a yoga bolster or a big pillow. A couch cushion will work in a pinch.
Have you been sitting a lot? Maybe you were lucky enough to take a long bike ride? You’ll love all the lunges in this basics class!
Props:
– Block or something to put between your knee in Abs with block
– Blanket for under you knees.
Are you feeling like spending some time upside down, maybe with your feet on a wall? You’re in luck!
A props light, gentle balance sequence. Beginning and more challenging options are given for the poses.
What starts as a subtle exploration of rotation evolves into a close look at Star Pulse Abs, Down Dog, Triangle and Warrior II. Of Cours with all this subtle rotation we have to do some good ol’ twists as well! Fyi, we start out on the ground. No props needed, keep a block near by if you’ve got one.
Props Needed:
– Strap (if you want it for Archer)
– Blanket
– Block or something for ABS
– Wall or counter for Dolphin against wall (or counter/table top/ etc.)

In this sequence you’ll get warmed up for Down Dog on the wall. No pressure, but if you’re feeling adventurous, have a wall or a counter nearby to put your feet on.

An in-depth exploration of forward folds. Meant for the inflexible as well as the experience yoga practitioner who wants to learn how to open up their back body and support themselves in forward folds. Works as warm up for Forrest Inspired Forward Folds
Props Needed:
* Tennis ball, or something similar to roll out myofacsia
* Block (optional)
* yoga strap, old tie, bathrobe belt, be creative 🙂
A sequence designed to warm you up and make you feel strong. Minimal props used, you could do this almost anywhere.
Be well, I love you.
A great sequence to learn how to take care of your back on and off the mat.
For this class you’ll need a strap and a block. If you don’t have a block just grab a pillow. If you don’t have a yoga strap a tie you no longer use, or a long sock, a bathrobe belt, or any other belt should work. Get creative, you can do this!
This could be called Love your Lungs class, or it could be called Shoulder Prep for Chaturanga. I will probably remember it as the one where I cried at the end.
A short demo of FY style Classic Sun Salutation. Note, this video was shot in Sept. 2019, I was still struggling with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, hence the mask.
