Last Nights Hot Class

I am absolutely falling in love with my new studio and all the new yogi's at Holistic Personal Training and Yoga in Jville NC!!! Last nights class was incredible! 9 people packed in the small room, heated up, and flowing to the full moon's energy! And I like the all levels class...I'm use to that teaching my marines :) I enjoy giving people options to push themselves and work on where they are in this moment. and the "fluff" seems to be flowing out now like word vomit. Of course I still have my "lesson plans" and quotes in front of me, but the more and more I teach; the more and more the fluff just comes pouring out.. I am forever grateful to Kas and Moni at Porters Neck Yoga and Spa in Wilmington NC for the most awesome teacher training ever! Best decision ever! And I learn from my yogi's every time I teach! From my marines, my studio yogis', and even my co-workers at staff yoga! I feel blessed in my yoga bubble today :) much love

BiG Book of YOGA

I wonder if she reads my blogs? Probably not, not yet! :) I'm totally optamistic about the fact when we meet for the first time, face to face we will become long life friends! :) giggle giggle. As I sit in my office preparing for my yoga classes today, reading her BIG BOOK OF YOGA, and doing handstands against the wall...i wondered. Does she read my blogs...hmmmm. I envision after class we will stroll downtown Savannah and talk shop over a glass of vino...giggle. I wonder if she's done laughing yoga? I think that's what we need today...yep, laughing yoga is on the menu for today's classes! Let it all out and laugh! Laugh at yourself! Laugh out loud ~ Be so happy that when others look at you, they become happy too~

thanks Kathryn for inspiration and being my silent bff

Namaste.

Flamingo Level 2 Class

Hey Hey Ya'll. Here's a class I just taught to all marines.. They loved it! Sweated hard too! Some of it is in Sanskrit, some is not :) lol. Let me know what you think!

Probably turning this into tonights hot class too! :)

Enjoy Yogis

HOT Level 2 90 minutes – give or take.

Wednesday – Solar Plexus Day – focus on building confidence, self esteem and working with headstand, up dog, and boat for the belly.

Start Standing – Tadasana.

Sun Sal variation – Tadasana, Uttanasana, Malasana Variation (squat feet together, arms out in front on the floor, let the heart/chest melt towards the floor, drop the head down. Breathe), Uttanasana. REPEAT 3-5x

SUN SALUTATION A 3-5x

Sun Sal Variation with Vasisthasana (step over plank) – incorporate this into the flow. While here in “step over plank” add “reaching under the bed” stretch 3x with breath. Do this flow at least twice – once on each side. More if you wish. Works up a sweat for sure.

Come into Wide Leg forward Fold – shoulders over stretch with strap or without. Come up, release hands, walk hands underneath you, then out in front of you for wide leg down dog. Then back up.. prep for headstand (use wall, partner, or on your own)

Balasana

Tiny little package, happy baby with leg stretches to do happy baby with straight legs.

ABS- Windshield wiper legs then BOAT

Back up to Tadasana – Crescent both legs

Trikonasana into Ardha Chandrasana, Parivrtta Ardha Chandrasana, Tree variation with knee down, fold forward, then Utthita Hasta Padangustasana. Switch sides. Repeat.

Flamingo! Chair, twisted chair, and then Flamingo! So, from twisted chair or Parivrtta Utkatasana pick up the opposite leg/foot squeeze knees together.

Grab bolster, blankets, block –

Supported corpse pose with shoulders and head on the floor, laying on bolster and blanket, with feet stretched out in front on top of the block. Melt into this pose, breathe. Chill out here for 5 minutes or so.. Cooling the body down.

Next Supta Virasana with bolster blankets, roll one of the blankets into a head pillow, use block to sit on if needed. Chill here and breathe.

Last one – Supta Baddhakonasana with bolster, blanket, strap if you have it..

And Savasana here or however you wish.
