Yoga with Michaela

Lovely to see you Zoomies! Thank you for your practice tonight in week 2 of “Remembering Who You Are ~ Making Space”.
We explored the connection between feet, legs and pelvis, making space in our hip flexors and sacrum with our asana practice.
Wonderful expressions of Hasta Padangusthasana from everyone, I could really see how your practice had made a difference to your alignment! 👏🏻👏🏻
Have a great week!

Tuesday Tribe, lovely to see you all for week 2 of “Remember Who You Are”.
This week we explored ways of making space in the pelvis and the sacrum, noticing the connection between space in the pelvis and feet pressing into the earth.
When our connection to the earth is steady and joyful we can start to remember who we are. Master Patanjali tells us that Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind ~ stopping the attachment to our thoughts. This is the state as well as the practice of yoga.
Have a great week everyone! 🙏🏻

Wonderful work Thursday Zoom Club! Great to see you all for week one of “Remembering Who You Are ~ Balance”
We explored ankle and foot strength tonight, challenging our balance and proprioception and our notion of where we are in space.
Fantastic expressions of Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon pose) from everyone too!
Have a great week 🙏🏻

Thank you for your practice tonight Tuesday Tribe! We started our new term this week, building on our functional work of last term with a focus on balance, both physical and emotional.
How was your ankle strength and stability? How balanced were you down through both legs and feet?
With a focus on strong dorsi flexion of the feet, our balancing asana was Ardha Chandrasana (half moon pose) this evening. Well done everyone! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Lovely to see you for our final class of our “Live and Breathe” term.
We added together the work we’ve done this term on functional movements and strength - great expressions of Virabhadrasana 3!
Our pranayama practice this week was Nadi Shodana (alternate nostril breathing) to balance our energies.
Thank you for your hard work, have a great week!

We’ve been exploring functional movements (lunging, squatting, twisting, side bending) and strength, along with pranayama practices each week.
