Festive Family Yoga


A short, festive, 20 minute family yoga class - a bit of fun for the whole family. We'll get the body moving by going through 'Santa's Helpers training' - following movements and stretches that warm up the body and helps to develop body awareness and connection - and of course, have a little bit of fun while we're at it. A bit about some of the exercises: - Reindeer Breath (Horse Lips breath) - although it looks a little silly, it's a great way to relax and release tension in the jaw and mouth, and keep help to relax the body. - Reindeer stretches - helping to stretch and mobilise the spine (good for anyone that has been sat down for a while). - Riding the sleigh - lateral stretches that help to release tension in the side body. - Decorating the Christmas tree - developing concentration and focus with balancing poses. If you enjoyed the class then please consider donating to my chosen charity the Avon Wildlife Trust to help protect our wildlife and biodiversity: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraisin... I post a new FREE class every Wednesday. Subscribe to my channel to keep updated!

Festive Standing Yoga


Join me for this 25(ish) minute festive, standing yoga class (yes, I've chucked in a couple of festive yoga poses, including reindeer pose, Christmas tree pose and our Christmas star pose)! We'll open the hips and open the chest, work on our balance and core, while also doing a bit to strengthen the legs and improve overall spinal mobility. No props needed. Beginners welcome. This is a yoga without kneeling and a yoga without hands class. Perfect for anyone that struggles getting up and down off the floor. Also great if you've been sat down, maybe working at a desk or computer all day. #standingyoga #yogawithoutkneeling #yogawithouthands #festiveyoga

Festive Yin Yoga for Digestion


We all tend to overindulge during the festive period, so this week I thought I'd share this special 40 minute Festive Yin Yoga for Digestion class. During the class we'll focus on those poses that help to stimulate the digestive system. Props (optional): - Pillow, cushion or bolster - Yoga block, books or blankets/ towel All props are optional, but as we hold each pose in Yin for 3-5 minutes, it's sometimes nice to have the props to support us and help us to achieve stillness in the pose.
