December Schedule: Week Four
There are 6 classes in this playlist. 3 stability classes and 3 Opening type classes.
Recommendation:
- Take 4 classes per week (more if you want!)
- If you are hypertonic - please make sure you've done at least 3 weeks of Restore Your Pelvic Floor, focusing on creating space in the pelvis and pelvic floor. Then gently add stability type of work. Pay attention to what lands well. I recommend a daily journal where you jot down what you did and how you felt. Especially in the beginning.
- Take 1-3 opening type classes and 2-3 stability (add anything else that your body is asking for)
- On days off, get on the floor! Spend 10 minutes doing moves that feel good in your body. Focus on the ones that target what you're working on. Email me if you need help figuring that out!
Don't forget to add classes to your favorites. If you take a class and it made you feel incredible, save it and come back to it again and again. I promise, it's always better then 2nd time around! Your body is already familiar with the flow and the transitions.

Sugarcane Flow

Centering Mini Flow
Join me on the mat as we turn away from all the noise for 20 minutes and get centered! This practice is going to hit up all the good stuff - glutes, pelvic floor, balance sprinkled in with some curiosity and stillness. All you need are two blocks. Enjoy!!

Yoga for Mental Fatigue
This one is a pretty chill flow focusing a lot on opening up the diaphragm for better breathing and just grounding down into some movement after a long day/week. Nothing too strenuous, just moving your body. It's called "Yoga for Mental Fatigue" because it's one of those classes you take when yo...

Living Room Restorative Bolster Flow
Grab your bolster and a couple blocks and let's offer our bodies a much needed break from the noise! In todays class we get deeply connected to our breath with the goal of sinking into our muscle and fascia in a way that not only brings space to the body but calm to the nervous system. We hold e...

30 Minute Reset
I planned with class with all the yogis in mind who might be dealing some extra stress right now, hypertension in their pelvic floor, a flare or are just in pain. Sometimes we can go about that in an intellectual way where we target our movement and have a specific purpose. Today, we are just go...
