The Mind & The Body

About This Class

This class opens with Child's Pose and builds progressively through Downward Dog, Sun Salutations, Cobra, and Plank before moving into a standing series that includes Crescent Lunge, Standing Splits, Warrior One, Warrior Two, Reverse Warrior, Triangle, Side Angle, Chair Pose, Tree Pose, Warrior Three, and Twisted Lunge. The floor sequence features Cat-Cow, Locust-style backbends, Bow Pose variations, Pigeon (or supine Thread the Needle), Butterfly, Seated Forward Fold, Half-Seated Forward Fold, Plow, Shoulder Stand, supine twists, and Happy Baby before closing with Savasana and a guided seated meditation. Throughout, the instructor weaves Patanjali's three presence techniques—following the breath, noticing body sensations, and observing the wandering mind—into every transition, making the class as much a mindfulness training as a physical practice. Modifications (blocks, knees down) are offered consistently, and the tone is warm, humorous, and non-judgmental, emphasizing self-care over ego and enjoyment over suffering.
