Some of you may know I have severe insomnia.  One thing I learned over many years is that surrender is a key component of coping with insomnia. Instead of being frustrated that I can’t sleep, relaxing my body and surrendering my mind in wakefulness leaves me with much more energy and vitality.

Happy April! This ~75 Vinyasa Flow Practice leads you in lots of different kinds of Twists. Twisting Asanas (postures) are thought to reduced Kapha, or a sense of saturation that can build up in Winter.  After a mellow warm up, practice Navasana (boat pose) arnd forearm place variations for core strength. Practice Sun Salutations that challenge leg endurance. There is also a 5 minute Savasana (corpse pose/ final resting posture). Enjoy! As always feel free to Contact Me or visit one of my Public Classes. 

This ~60 minute, sweaty, athletic, yoga podcast can help with depression.  In my experience, “taking a break” from thinking helps ease depression.  To follow this dynamic flow (sometimes called the “Dragon Dance,” inspired by my old teacher Joe Barnett, and in turn Paul Grilley) you will need to clear your mind and focus.  Start slow and rise to working your core and upper body in unexpected ways!

This is a short (~25 min), “grounding” yoga practice and meditation.  There is about 15 minutes of gentle movements that almost anyone can do, and about 10 minutes of a guided visualization. Being “grounded” means you are solidly in your body, experiencing the present moment, and connected to the earth.  It can be easier to understand by thinking about times you are “ungrounded,” for example: you have been overwhelmed by a sudden remembering of a long to-do list, or you get a letter in the mail and find it contains an unexpected and hefty bill!  Your breath shallows and your heart beats quicker.  This is the time to GROUND. Music by: Rara Avis & Cindy Lee; Johnathan Goldman (Ultimate OM)

This ~20 yoga practice is appropriate for strong beginners to intermediate students.  It focuses on opening shoulders and hips making it a great “study-break” or work break yoga practice. This Podcast is also GREAT for keeping your yoga new-years resolution on track.  The good news is, your resolution doesn’t have to be heavy to be worthwhile.  A little yoga is better than no yoga at all! Here is “puppy-dog pose” for those of you who are not familiar: To do “1/2 puppy dog pose” just fold one arm so that your forearm is parallel to the top edge of your yoga mat.  Rest your forehead on that forearm or wrist. If you would like to practice yoga with me in person find me at one of my regularly scheduled Group Classes. As always, if you have any questions or comments on this podcast, contact me! Namaste! Music in this podcast: “Sensorium” by Delerium Electronica from The Art Of Chill 2 “Wild Fennel” by Guitar from It’s Sweet To Do Nothing “Nectar Drop” by DJ Drez World from  Jahta Beat: The Lotus Memoirs “Jaia Ganesha” by Dum Dum Project New Age from  Yoga Rhythms “Lebanese Blonde” by Thievery Corporation from It Takes A Thief    

This simple, soothing practice provides a gently steady flow, appropriate whether you are prenatal yogi or not. Fit some “me time” into and practice body consciousness, and soothe yourself with long breaths.  Beginner Yogis with only a little experience will find this practice accessible.  An approximately four minute Savasana with a relaxing meditation is included in the end of this practice. You may like to have accessories such as 2 yoga blocks (or similar tightly rolled towels), a blanket, and a strap (dog leash, bathrobe belt..use your imagination!

This approximately 75 minute practice will provide whole-body energizing movement and unique ways to strengthen your core. It is appropriate for level 2/3, but there are many modifications offered.
