Most of us have tight hips from the lifestyles that we live, mainly, lots of sitting. This can lead to back and knee pain. Here is a gentle sequence designed to help open those hips and make you more comfortable.

Accessibility: This is a fairly gentle class done mostly on the back. There are two downward dogs. If it is difficult to get into the pigeon variation from downward dog, move into it from seated. If there is any knee pain, come out.

Props: No props needed

This is my favourite style of class!

We will begin with a modified sun salutation to get the body moving and then settle onto the mat for some gentle stretching.

Accessibility: There will be some getting on and off the mat.

Props: I use two blocks, but two cushions or a bolster will also work.

This sixteen-minute class is perfect for when you have nervous energy that you need to burn off. We link breath with movement to help calm the mind and bring on stillness. This is a great class to do when you need to transition after a long day of work or to get your mind and body ready to sit in meditation.

You will need: A yoga mat, a blanket is also recommended

Accessibility: You will be on your hands and knees. There is one transition from the floor to standing and then back down.
