Yoga Solutions mini-classes
2021-2022
FREE on demand access to all Premium members (from Silver membership up)
These are all of the recordings of my weekly 'Yoga Solutions' Live sessions on Facebook. If I get a question, I respond directly to that, so if you scroll through the various titles you might see something that catches your interest. On the weeks I don't get any questions I offer a general principle in practice and guide you through something so you can have a direct physical experience of it.
These are the sessions recorded from 2021 to Spriing 2022... previous sessions are linked to at the bottom of the list.
How to let go of any issues around your lower back, hips neck and shoulders...
All of these things are to do with how we hold our weight up ... Here I show you how to become light, by giving your weight to to ground instead of to your back and joints... Enjoy!
My go-to 15min practice
Leg extensions - the way to do it that makes you want to do it all the time....
Bow pose/ Crescent pose
How to liberate the upper spine for the true 'yoga' experience of these extension postures.
THE solution to tight hamstrings
The solution to tight hamstrings...
When your hamstrings are tight, it is usually because they are overly involved with your support strategy. Here I explain what might cause this, and then offer a practice that is very likely to lead to a completely different somatic experience of opening out the legs, together with actually being able to let go of the habitual hamstring resistance, so they can be 'stretched' without the usual problems that go with attempting to do this.
The FEET!
The best way to massage them, and how to do any kind of balance.
If you want freedom in your body, the feet are far more important than you might think. Here I explain why problems with knees/hips lower back (and the rest of you) might well be sourced in feet that have become dull.
I show you the best way to massage your feet. and then give you an experience of the difference between supporting yourself over your foot compared to supporting yourself WITH your foot. I then add some details so you can take it into something like tree pose.
Sitting twists ....
Sitting and twisting is a simple enough thing to do, but are you interested in HOW you do it?
If you are someone with tight groins, you will pull yourself round with your groins; if you have lower back issues, you will probably be twisting from there, and if the uppers spine is stiff you will probably pull yourself round with your arms and neck. With a willingness to explore the 'how' of it, sitting twists can help you re-balance whole-body movements in a way that can relieve you of most common-place postural issues... (apologies - the sound is not that good, but the content is really transformational if you can follow it)
Groins, Squats, and happy baby
How to release the groins whilst using the legs (squat and happy baby)
3 separate issues - 1 fundamental solution
Frozen shoulder, tight ham strings, stiff neck....
Sphynx & Cobra
Does your back pinch in sphynx & cobra? That can disappear with a simple shift of perspective and intention (plus some quite intense work - which should feel pleasant to do)
