De-bunking the norm...
There is a reason for the 'inhale up/exhale down' instruction that makes 'doing' yoga postures easier for the mind and body, giving the impression of 'flow'.
However, that reason is more to do with habit and stress, than it is to do with the natural flow of a body and mind in harmony with each other in action. Lifting to breathe, and collapsing to release the breath is kind of how we do things when we are both stressed and tired, and practicing yoga in this way entrenches this behaviour into our movement.
Here I guide you into an experiential understanding of how the breath itself can become the source of support and free movement, simply by adjusting your intent, at the specific moments of arrival and release of the breath... (full 1hr class version available to all Premium members here)

And if you do enjoy it, you might want to consider trying out Silver membership so you can access the full class version of it, together with ~ 200 or so 'Yoga Solutions' mini-classes (the full version of this one is about an hour) :
You can sign up for Silver for a 1-week free trial, then its just ~ £1/week for a brand new class every week, as well as access to over 150 of my previously recorded sessions on-demand. (Cancel any time)
And if you want to take things deeper with me, most Saturday mornings, I put on a 2.5hr interactive workshop on Zoom (£27 drop-in … free for Gold and Platinum members) - usually centred around or developed from my current current Yoga Solutions theme, but always tweaked to meet the needs of the onscreen participants ((you can also book a view-only place for just £15… recordings available to anyone that books whether you attend or not).
