BACK TO BASICS MEDITATION
In general, the easiest way to begin meditating is by focusing on the breath. Concentration meditation involves focusing on a single point. In this particular meditation we will focus on the breath. You will notice as you begin to focus your attention on your breathing, your worries, doubts, fears or anything that's overwhelming your mind, will start to dissipate, leaving you with a quiet mind. The body follows the mind, so in turn, your body will begin to feel calm and grounded. This simple meditation technique can be used anytime you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed.
YOGA FLOW FOR A HEALTHY SPINE
This practice is dedicated to nurturing the spine. There are 7 movements that the spine makes. Flexion (folding forward) and Extension (backbends), Rotate right and left (twisting), Lateral right and left (side bends) and Axial extension (lengthen). In this practice we will move the spine in all 7 directions from sitting, standing and from all fours. It's said that you are "only as young as your spine is flexible." Tap into your youth as you increase flexibility and well being in your spine. A strong and supple spine not only protects your nervous system, but it also allows for its utmost efficiency and longevity.
QUICK 5 MINUTE ABS
5 minutes doesn’t sound like much, but you will definitely feel this quick ab sequence. This set of abdominal exercises will focus on the rectus abdominus (8 pack) and the Transversus abdominus (corset muscle) in the abdominal cavity. There are 3 exercises and 3 rounds of each exercise. The most effective method to gaining strength in your core is to do this sequence 3-4 times a week
YOGA FOR BACK STRENGTH
We don’t often think about the importance of strengthening our back, but it’s just as important as strengthening our front, especially for the health of our spine. Deep, free breathing and all movements depend on a healthy spine. Yoga aims to promote the correct curvature of the spine, and this requires a play between both strength and flexibility. Here, we'll focus on building the strength of the muscles surrounding the spine through backbends. This quick back strengthening sequence will help to strengthen the entire back. There are 3 exercises and 3 rounds of each.

HANDSTAND PREP – L SHAPE AT THE WALL
A big part of achieving inversions is having confidence in yourself. You gain confidence through practice and trust. This handstand prep- L shape at the wall class, is a strong and grounding practice. It’s an incredible way to gain strength in your shoulders, awareness of your core and length and your hamstrings. Those are also the three ingredients for handstands. You will need a wall to practice against, an open mind and some playful energy in your heart! I always tell my students if you can do this L shape at the wall you are definitely strong enough to get up into a handstand if that’s some thing that inspires you. I’m excited to guide you through detailed alignment and breathing cues. Have confidence and trust yourself… and remember to have fun!
HEALING LIGHT MEDITATION
This visualization meditation is meant to help us move some of our powerful awareness from the outer world to our inner world. In this meditation I will guide you into a meditative state where we begin to recognize the energetic body and the mind body connection. Visualizing the dense matter of our physical form transforming into effervescent healing light, creates a deep sense of peace and ease. This is a powerful meditation for healing not only physical parts of the body but emotional as well.
