About This Class

Today's Yoga class is a Completely Seated Yoga Flow to help us feel Grounded when our body needs it most. Time to take some time for yourself! This is a gentle flow but remember to only go as far as your body feels fit. 

Sometimes we just don't have the energy or the excitement to be jumping around on the mat and that's perfectly ok. I made this quick and simple flow for the days where we want to feel more in contact with our mat and re-awaken the grounded sensation. Even though this is a short and simple flow, if something doesn't feel right in a particular posture, do not force it. Listen to your body and take any modifications you feel necessary. 

We will start and end the class with a  breath work exercise. This first breath work exercise will invite you to pay attention to the rhythm of your breath. It´s called the 4-7-8 technique. Inhale for 4, hold for 7 and exhale for 8. And we will finish class with a slow Savasana letting our body completely sink into our mats, inviting even more grounding into this practice.

Breath at your own pace baring in mind what feels natural for your body and your rhythm. There is no perfect practice and we are all at different stages in our physical, emotional and spiritual body, so enjoy the session and leave feeling proud of your progress!

So we've got a little bit of a guinea going on today. We're going to get started with the meditation to find yourself on the mat. Because in practice for all levels, just want to always listen to your body. 2. Let's Meditate and Grounded: Inspiring ourselves in the position. Resting your hands on. Your shoulders, fall back down, chest, shine forward. Closing your eyes and face as any tension that we have, arcades comes areas. Every inhale we're gonna sit taller, strength, lower, releasing any tension or getting rid of that. Activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Access longer. Stay the breath up together. Your hands to marshal breath and capital. Under the intention for today's practice. Symbol like, I want to shut my mind off the next complicated or a little bit more detail.

It just kind of strike in my arms, strengthened my continuous getting back to a tabletop, again, checking our line. Keep a flat back. The right arm comes up to the sky, goes right fingertips doing a dance, a little circle with this right holding one or taking this right hand underneath our left arm, heart, right shoulder, right ears mat, walk forward without really changing it up here. Maybe we love a little more forward if that shoulder for us feeling much as possible, the better left hand. And on one we're going to push away. We're gonna push our right, our left hand down superstorm, the ground. I'm trying to lift this opposite leg, the left leg and my kids are super active, strong left side.

My left leg is super test toes are pointed and we're gonna extend the opposite arm. Right arm comes forward again, if you spent lot of time to really histogram where you hold here for three, squeezing the core for one, I'm taking my right-hand, bending those right the left foot, grabbing the inside of us. And I'm kicking back with that left foot as much as I was shining forward a bunch test. That's where we get the buttons also going, Mr. up on the ground holding it here. Why do we release?
