Using the wall as your prop during this one hour guided Yin Yoga class, feels really good! I travel for work often and sometimes this is all the space that I have to work with be it in a hotel room or my massage therapy space.

I filmed this class in my hotel room so little control over lighting and layout. One thing about small spaces is locating the place you'll have for your final Savasana. You may have the use of floor space or you may have to use the bed (or massage table in my case).

Stretching up the wall offers

  • A break from gravity for tired and sore legs with the opportunity to ease swelling in the ankles

  • Help with back ache, knee pain, foot cramps, leg cramps, gentle stretches to open up the muscles of the leg

  • A time out to breathe, calm the mind and de-stress

Registration gives you 3 days of access to repeat the class as many times as you wish

I took my first Yoga class when I was 13 and have been passionate about it ever since. In teaching dance it was a key aspect to encouraging students to stay loose and flexible and I am constantly suggesting stretching and yoga to my massage clients. Yin Yoga is my go to as a teacher, practitioner and massage therapist. Holding the poses for longer means that the fascia, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments have an opportunity to release. Restorative Yoga goes further with comfort and relaxation being key while you breathe, rest and digest. Yoga is not about how the pose looks or how you look in the pose. It's all about how the pose feels, the sensations you are experiencing and the breathe that you focus on as you inhale and exhale. It's also and most importantly about meeting yourself where you are today as you practice. About developing a nurturing relationship with it and allowing your mat to support you. Use your props, bring the floor up to you, allow sensation and stretch but no pain should be happening. In restorative you should be so comfortable that you could fall asleep in the pose. Be kind to you today.
