About This Class

This 48-minute gentle practice takes a methodical "from the ground up" approach, beginning with fascial massage and mobility work in the feet and ankles, then progressing through the calves, hamstrings, hip flexors, glutes, outer hips, inner thighs, core, back, shoulders, wrists, and finally the neck. The instructor alternates between activation sequences — hamstring curls, outer-hip lifts, boat pose variations, locust pose, and shoulder circles — and corresponding stretches, ensuring each body part is warmed before it is lengthened. Props (a block) are used for a seated shoulder sequence and a supported supine backbend. The class closes with Pada Hastasana, a gentle spinal twist, and an invitation to rest in Savasana. Throughout, Steve emphasizes breath awareness, mindful sensation, and working at an appropriate intensity — making this an ideal maintenance or recovery practice for anyone feeling general stiffness or disconnected from their body.

    Loved it! ❤️ Just what I needed after a few days in the garden! ? Only suggestion would be at the end….after supported bridge, move your block up to between your shoulder blades to open the front of your chest and neck.

    I love this class! It really works your body from toe to head. Amazing how much I got out of 45 minutes. This will go on frequent repeat for me. Thanks, Steve.

    OMG that was brilliant! Literally stretching from toes to fingers. Absolutely amazing practice. Just mellow breathing, some slight toning and lots of stretches. Thank you Steve! This one is outstanding! (can you tell I like it with all the adjectives?)
