YinYang Yoga 30 minutes - hips, shoulders, spine

6/29/2020

I say in the beginning it's 15 minutes ... I was not able to pull that off.
​

Still - a shorter practice (30 minutes) for shoulders and hips. Mostly movement, with a couple of longer holds for shoulders and hips.

Upper body strength

​35 minute dynamic practice aimed to strengthen the upper body - prepare the shoulders for handstand preparation and handstand kick-up against the wall. 


This is NOT a beginner practice. It will also not have a whole lot of vinyasas in it - I invite you to create strength more through static holds, in that way both strengthening and stretching the shoulders. I do give options, as always, so that you can safely work your way up towards more demanding poses.

EARTH PRACTICE - hatha yoga

10/23/2015

1 Comment

 
Picture
The EARTH series is created for us to come into our bodies, to ground ourselves, to let the exhaling part of our breath root us down and help us release some unhealthy attachments, thoughts, patterns, behaviors.
​
This clip consists of the YANG (Hatha) part of the series - a grounding practice with less flow and more breath awareness. We will go through some standing poses, feeling into our feet and earth, still focusing on the exhaling breath, always coming back to our center to locate the still point within.

SUN SALUTATIONS - different versions

7/2/2015

Have you noticed that every new class you go to, the Sun Salutation is a bit different? I surely have adapted my salutes to accommodate a few extra breaths here and there, just because it feels good. Also, in my own practice, I have to warm up to the salutes - I cannot just jump out of bed and start bending my spine back and forward. But that's just me.... 
In this short clip, I'll warm you up and walk you through a few of my favorite sun salutations (Surya Namaskar in Sanskrit), so that you can choose what works for you.

SLOW FLOW for the hips

5/10/2015

This practice is from my series of "SLOW FLOW" where I take plenty of time in each pose. This one targets the hips, offering both dynamic and passive ways to feel into your hips. My self-practice is mostly like this and I'm curious to see if it appeals to you. In a fast-paced, constantly on-the-go world, I want my yoga to offer me a pause - an unhurried reflection of what is moving through me.

PART 2 - energizing vinyasa yoga

4-part yoga journey consists of 4 practice videos each about 20 minutes long. You can use them separately or mix and match to create a practice that suits your mood, time of day and your energy level.

PART 2 is an energizing flow practice that keeps you moving for 25 minutes. It builds both strength and flexibility, connects movement with breath. 
A more fiery vinyasa flow can be useful when you feel restless and "antsy", then use the dynamics of the flow to release the excess clutter and chatter that keeps you running in circles.

A TWISTING VINYASA - 15 minutes

3/11/2015

Spring time is twisting time! Time to detox, to twist out the winter clunkiness from your body, leave the mat a few inches taller, refreshed and balanced. This is a continuous flow, so it might take a few runs to get comfortably in synch with the rhythm of the movements and the breath, so take your time, stay true to your pace and smile.

4-PART YOGA JOURNEY

Do you have those days when you know, that moving a little on your mat would do you a world of good, but still it is damn hard to get on the mat? I do. On those days, I get on the mat anyway, but first I just lay on my back, roll around a bit, start breathing more deeply and do some very basic and simple exercises that get the energy moving. First I give myself permission to feel whatever I'm feeling, no obligations or pressure for it to be something different. More often than not, starting out in this manner - moving WITH whatever is present - my practice shapes me from feeling stuck into an effortless flow, often keeping me on the mat and moving much longer than I intended. Without force, pressure, expectation or agenda. I'm sharing one of those practices here with you

This is a sweet mellow flow through series of Sun Salutations, focusing on breath and moving the body in a gentle way to stay grounded and centered yet to feel energized and connected. It is filmed after my annual summer yoga retreat in West Estonia (Kukeranna), a place that always realigns me and re-connects me with my roots.

VINYASA FLOW - a perfect morning practice

7/8/2014

0 Comments

 
This too is part of the wedding gift video series I did for my best friend in Australia. Vinyasa Flow has been "our" practice, we would often practice together in the mornings in gorgeous natural settings that Australia is so abundant in providing. So again, the friendly tone of the practice is carried by my memories of my yogic life in Australia. I'm happy to share that vibe with you and hopefully the soulshine that Australia graced me with will transport through space and time to brighten up your day. 

Enjoy this practice any time that suits you, though it would be a perfect flowing connecting way to start your day in the morning. It will move your spine, open the hips and get you in your groove!

A shorter practice, mainly focused on opening the upper body and shoulders, sprinkled with some twists for spine, lunges for hips and back strengtheners. A wholesome "feel good practice" with a mellow pace to bring in ease, fluidity and vitality. ENJOY!!
