Yoga for Manifesting / 20 Minute Yoga

Get into a flow so you can feel the feelings of what you want to call into your life already being in your life NOW.

Class Mantra (let your mind rest on this phrase while you move):

[Thing you want] is here! It came easily and effortlessly. It’s here and it feels so good

PLEASE NOTE: This class is marked as INTERMEDIATE because it includes poses that will challenge your balance. However, you can make this class more accessible by bringing yourself closer to a wall or placing yoga blocks at the top of your mat (to bring the ground up to your hands)!

EDIT to the Following Verbal Cue Errors:
at 3:45 minute mark- I say “…lower into your forward fold.” You should be lowering the chest down to the ground deepening into your child’s pose.

at 3:50 minute mark- I say “…coming into a comfortable forward fold…” You should move into a comfortable child’s pose, whatever that may look like in your body.

at 14:59 minute mark- I say “…take your left leg and bend it to the outside of the right hip..” You should be bending your LEFT leg, not your right.

*I do not mirror in this video, so it will look like I’m moving in the opposite direction as you. Follow my verbal directions or follow along visually (in which case you will be moving opposite to my verbal direction).

JOURNAL PROMPT

(BEST PRACTICE: DO THIS EXERCISE BEFORE TAKING THE CLASS)

Get out your journal or the notes app in your phone. (I prefer physical writing when I’m engaging my spiritual practice but you do you!!). Write down what it is you desire. Get clear! This might be challenging- a lot of the times there’s baggage around what it is we truly want. Take some times to explore and dig to the root desire. Once you have it: write out why you want it, what it would bring into your life, how it would serve you and those around you. Become clear in your “why’s”. Take a deep breath in and feel as if your desire has already arrived (what would you be doing? thinking? saying? in this exact moment.) Exhale the breath out.

Come back to the feeling of the desire already being yours, already being integrated into your experience. Stay in the feeling for as long as you can (even if it’s only one full breath round). Practice this yoga class coming back into the feeling as frequently as you can!

Yoga for Moving Through Fear / 35 Minute Yoga

Fear stops us from living life fully.  It keeps “safe” by keeping us where we’re at.  When we practice pushing right up against fear in small doses on the yoga mat, we practice how to challenge the idea of fear off the mat; which opens us up to expansion!

Class Mantra (let your mind rest on this phrase while you move):

I can do hard things. Everything is working out for my benefit.

PLEASE NOTE: This class is marked as INTERMEDIATE because it moves at a high intensity pace. Some of the sequences or movements in this class may be challenging if you are just learning the poses, have limited mobility, or sensitivity. However, you can make this class more accessible by opting out of poses / taking breaks during sequences that don’t work for you right now.

Consejos para su práctica de meditación:

Yoga for Receiving an Answer / 30 Minute Yoga

Movement is one of my favorite ways to receive an answer or clarity around a question or situation. Use this class to ground and calm, clearing room to hear intuitive guidance.

Class Mantra (let your mind rest on this phrase while you move)

I am willing to receive an answer. I trust my inner guidance.

Please keep in mind that some of the sequences or movements in this class may be challenging if you are just learning the poses, have limited mobility, or sensitivity. However, you always have the option to try whatever works for your body and opt out of poses / take breaks during sequences that don’t work for you right now.

Tips for getting into Toe Stand:
Deep breath in, making a “shhhh” sound as you release the breath through your mouth. The “shhh” sound will help to engage the core; draw the belly button towards the spine and lift the knees in one motion. Try it and let it go. You’ll train your core to engage and support this pose with practice.

*I do not mirror in this video, so it will look like I’m moving in the opposite direction as you. Follow my verbal directions or follow along visually (in which case you will be moving opposite to my verbal direction).

Journal Prompt

(best Practice: do this exercise before taking the class):

Get out your journal or the notes app in your phone. (I prefer physical writing when I’m engaging my spiritual practice but you do you!!). Write down the question / situation (try to be as clear and concise as possible). Free write on the situation: here’s where you can allow all the angles, fears, and questions to come up and out onto the paper. When you’ve written all that you want to write, go back to your original question / situation: Take a deep breath in, let the free write go. Exhale the breath, trust that you will be guided to receive clarity.

Get ready to receive guidance. It may come at any time through during class or in the days after. It may come through nudges, inspiration, new ideas, people around you… listen in!

Chair Yoga with Standing Poses / 40 Minute Yoga

During a chair yoga practice, we use the chair as a prop to help ground, stabilize, and support our poses as we move to the best of our own individual abilities. Together we’ll restore and energize our bodies and our minds with gentle and accessible movement. There is a standing section towards the middle of this class where we will use the chair to help us balance as we try several standing postures. Please make sure you are in a space and use a chair that will facilitate these standing poses in a safe way. You always have the option to skip this section (simply fast forward the video or remain seated throughout the standing section).

*Keep in mind: You never have to hold poses for the full count duration or complete the full set of exercises. Do what you can, when you can. Take breaks and when you are ready, rejoin us in the movements.
