Episode 110:

Today we take a Feldenkrais approach to directing our attention.

This episode is the intro lesson to the new series The Focused Body: Attention Practices Through Feldenkrais where we will directly use subtle movements to strengthen our capacity for sustained concentration. 

You will learn to deliberately shift your focus from narrow sensory detail to wide spatial awareness. By using your body as a reliable anchor, you will cultivate the quieter attention that empowers you to choose intention over impulse in daily life. 

So in today’s episode, you will first hear a short introduction about how to approach working with your attention, and after that will be a 60 minute Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson. 

If you resonate with TODAY’s approach, you may be interested in the Feldenkrais course The Focused Body.

Today’s class is a short Feldenkrais lesson that will be done lying on the back. This simple, but effective lesson, creates a sense of wholeness and connection from your feet to your head. 

This lesson is from the Feldenkrais Mini Lessons course that can be purchased. This self paced course has 16 mini lessons ranging from 15- 30 minutes. The lessons in this course are there for you when you need a shift or interruption of your current state, but don’t have an hour to spare. I like to think of them as more than a 5 minute movement snack, but also not the whole buffet. Just the right nourishment.

Today I am going to share a lesson that introduces us to how the hip and shoulder joints relate to our spine, and how they coordinate for walking. 

This is an intro class for the Feldenkrais Walking Series: Walking From Your Spine.  The context for this series is to learn about how our limbs and our spine move in relation to each other.

In today’s podcast you will first hear me introduce the class and how we will approach the subject of walking from a Feldenkrais perspective in this course. 

Next will be the 60 minute Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson.

Today’s class is a short breath awareness meditation done in savasana with a weight placed on the belly.

You will need something heavy that you can place on your abdomen. If you have a yoga sandbag, this works great. Most people don’t have that, so I suggest finding one or two very thick books. A thick textbook could work well. If you are using a book, then you will also want to have a blanket or a towel that you can place underneath the book, so that the weight is not hard or pressing into any part of you in an uncomfortable way.

Today’s class is a short breath awareness meditation done in savasana with a weight placed on the belly.

You will need something heavy that you can place on your abdomen. If you have a yoga sandbag, this works great. Most people don’t have that, so I suggest finding one or two very thick books. A thick textbook could work well. If you are using a book, then you will also want to have a blanket or a towel that you can place underneath the book, so that the weight is not hard or pressing into any part of you in an uncomfortable way.

Sarah Baumert has been teaching movement since 2006. She is a certified yoga teacher, yoga therapist and Feldenkrais practitioner. This podcast is an intersection of her yoga teaching and training in the Feldenkrais® method. Classes include sensory rich movement experiences for a more resilient and healthy nervous system to help you feel a greater sense of ease and comfort in yourself.

Episode 103:

Today’s class is focused on calming the eyes. This class is similar to Episode 56, but I wanted to re record and re-teach the class, as it has been a popular episode and I wanted to get a higher quality audio version of it for you.

In this short Feldenkrais lesson, the eyes, their state of calm, and the quality of our dark vision becomes a marker of the overall state of the nervous system. When one’s visual stimulation calms down, it can have a relaxing effect on the neck, jaw, breathing, face and more. And as a result, your whole self will settle down, get quiet and the sharpness of your vision can increase. So, let's see how we can organize our vision to make the orientation clear and smooth, so that the muscle tone in the whole body can become organized and engaged to do a function well.

If you enjoy this lesson, you may consider joining the Feldenkrais Series:
Being Good to Yourself: Caring for your Neck, Shoulders, Eyes, & Breath
In 8 lessons we explore how important the eyes are for organizing the rest of the body.

Episode 102:

Today’s class is an exploration of the breath. In yoga, we call this pranayama. However today’s lesson will be more of a Feldenkrais inspired way of paying attention to the breath. With each proposal, each variation of breathing, I invite you to listen and take care. If at any moment you feel the way you are breathing creates tension or shortness of breath, please do the breathing proposal with much less intensity or even imagine the movement. 

If you enjoy this lesson, you may consider joining the Feldenkrais Series:
Being Good to Yourself: Caring for your Neck, Shoulders, Eyes, & Breath 
In this series, we will explore lessons that promote self-connection and pleasure, finding equanimity in movement, and adapting to change with resilience. In a world where technology has become ever more prevalent, it can be easy to feel disconnected from our bodies, our emotions, and the people around us. Tension in the neck, shoulders and eyes can become a persistent nuisance, but through the gentle, exploratory movements of the Feldenkrais Method, we can find a sense of joy and connection that is uniquely human. Check out more info on this series that anyone can join via livestream or recordings.

Yoga Nidra is a guided savasana that leads you into a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping. The practice draws our attention inwards, and we can learn to slip between the states of wakefulness and sleep. This is a great class to do right before bed.

Episode 100:

Today I am going to share with you an episode of the Expand Your Abilities Podcast with Jeffrey Schwinghammer. Jeffrey is a filmmaker and Feldenkrais practitioner and the director of the upcoming documentary on the Feldenkrais Method. I’m really enjoying how his podcast is breaking down some really complex principles of the Feldenkrais method. 

In his recent interview with me we discussed my background, how I came to teach both yoga and Feldenkrais, and how learning to move efficiently can enhance the quality of our life. 

Our conversation leads to talking about finding a sense of freedom in your body and how Feldenkrais is a way to unlearn any sense of having an external authority over your body. This is a huge topic, a topic that I am currently exploring in my Feldenkrais series Autonomy and Personal Freedom.

So, I hope you enjoy this conversation about feeling free in your body, and how Feldenkrais and yoga complement each other. Be sure to check out some of Jeffrey’s other episodes of the  Expand Your Abilities Podcast.

What did you think of class?

Episode 95:

Today's podcast is constructed in two parts. First, I will be talking about posture as a dynamic system and giving some information on my Feldenkrais series, Posture Matters, explaining how a Feldenkrais approach to posture restoration is different from other modalities. Then we will go into an abbreviated lesson.  The lesson portion of today is a little taste of the first lesson in the Posture Matters series and begins around 21:33. 

Posture, including the tension in the shoulders and the neck that originates from a forwardness of one’s head is one of the most requested topics I get from students. It’s a difficulty that none of us are immune to. If you are interested in this work, join the Posture Matters series which can always be done as a self-paced course.

Episode 94:

A 60 minute live class blending Feldenkrais and gentle yoga poses. 

In this class we explore creating a sense of width in the body. Oftentimes if our eyes have a more narrow focus (like when we are looking at a fixed object such as a screen), then our whole body can start to shrink inward and feel compressed. This is a fantastic practice to juice up the spine after a day of sitting and integrate the eyes after a day of looking at a screen.

Episode 89: 

A short Feldenkrais lesson using the pubic bone, the tailbone, and the creases of the hip joints as anatomical places of reference and awareness. This mini lesson is an example of the direction that the lessons will start to take in the Pelvic Floor and Deep Core Rapport Series. 

This lesson continues the process of finding power and grace from your pelvis. What set's this practice apart from other pelvic explorations is the subtlety of it all and the inner connections you'll make from your perineum to your hip joints. For many people, this lesson may help you start to simply sense your hip joints as part of the pelvis. This is a nice lesson to pair with Episode 86: which was a yoga class with Pubic Bone Awareness.

Episode 88: 

An informational podcast about pelvic floor and deep abdominal health.
Pelvic Floor Health and Abdominal strengthening is one of the most requested topics I get from students. Today, I will be discussing why pelvic floor health is so important and give you some context for my series: The Pelvic Floor and Deep Core Rapport. The 8 week series will be taught livestream starting September 25th, with options to purchase the lessons to do as a self paced course.

The function of the pelvic floor has a profound effect on our quality of life. So anything that can be done to bring more ease or a higher quality of control in this area can be revolutionary.

For both men and women, improving the ability to both relax and engage the pelvic floor and the deep abdominal muscles can have positive effects on:

  1. Back pain
  2. Sensing a deeper and more relaxed breath
  3. Easier standing and walking
  4. Improved Balance
  5. Healing from hip replacements or abdominal surgeries
  6. Better sex through increased awareness, sensation and control
  7. More effective bladder control
  8. Lack of strength, coordination, or sensation in this area after giving birth

Episode 84: 

The second of a series of classes I am posting as an introduction to the Body Matter Feldenkrais® series, Soften the System.

Today we take another Feldenkrais® approach to practicing the ability to settle the body. This class utilizes the powerful effect that calming the hands can have on our whole system. 

Our hands, palm, and fingers take up an enormous amount of room in our motor cortex. And if we can effectively calm and inhibit the unnecessary of activity in one area of the motor cortex, the process tends to spread and extend to other areas in the motor cortex.  Areas beyond just the hand can thus be affected. We think we are doing something with our hand, but we are doing something with our brain! Feel how the softening spreads, and the relaxed feeling generalizes throughout your whole system.

Episode 84: 

The second of a series of classes I am posting as an introduction to the Body Matter Feldenkrais® series, Soften the System.

Today we take another Feldenkrais® approach to practicing the ability to settle the body. This class utilizes the powerful effect that calming the hands can have on our whole system. 

Our hands, palm, and fingers take up an enormous amount of room in our motor cortex. And if we can effectively calm and inhibit the unnecessary of activity in one area of the motor cortex, the process tends to spread and extend to other areas in the motor cortex.  Areas beyond just the hand can thus be affected. We think we are doing something with our hand, but we are doing something with our brain! Feel how the softening spreads, and the relaxed feeling generalizes throughout your whole system. 

If you resonate with TODAY’s approach, you may be interested in these self-paced Feldenkrais audio series:

Soften the System Feldenkrais Series
Sensing Subtlety and Satisfaction Feldenkrais Series
Unraveling Body Anxiety Feldenkrais Series

Sarah Baumert has been teaching movement since 2006. She is a certified yoga teacher, yoga therapist and Feldenkrais practitioner. This podcast is an intersection of her yoga teaching and training in the Feldenkrais® method. Classes include sensory rich movement experiences for a more resilient and healthy nervous system to help you feel a greater sense of ease and comfort in yourself.

Episode 83: 

The first of a series of classes I will be posting as an introduction to the upcoming Body Matter Feldenkrais series, Soften the System. Today we take a very gentle Feldenkrais approach to mobilizing the chest by connecting the shoulders to the ribs and sternum. There will also be a few movements with the jaw. I invite you to be incredibly kind with your jaw when doing those movements.

Episode 81: 

A grounding practice that gives you effective learning tools for nervous system care, pain management, and finding ease while the body is in a stress response. This episode uses a rocking motion often associated with self soothing and we continue our look at neck care by zooming out to the whole system. This Feldenkrais approach to Neck Care connects the ankles, the pelvis, and the whole self to how the neck moves. It might seem like your ankles or feet would have nothing to do with your neck tension. So, let’s find out! If there is tension or a lot of pain in the neck, focusing only there and bringing more and more of your attention to the place that hurts may not always be a wise idea!

If you resonate with TODAY’s approach or are finding that your neck pain may be linked to jaw tension, for an even deeper study of this topic from a Feldenkrais lens, you can check out the:
 
Sensing Subtlety and Satisfaction Jaw Series, and
Unraveling Body Anxiety Feldenkrais Series.

Episode 78: 

Improve text neck discomfort and build strength in the right places for your neck. Last week’s podcast was mostly awareness of the neck and releasing of unnecessary habitual tension held in the neck. This week, we take a look at how to strengthen the neck and reverse the effects of the forward and down head action, (sometimes referred to as “text neck”), and the pain that comes with that.  This class strengthens the upper back and neck extensors. Most of this class could be done sitting at your desk as a way to help learn some new and better habits for neck health and to take a short break from looking at your devices. Try it on its own, or pair it with Episode 77.

Do you need some visuals for class? I currently have a sample video class that works with these similar concepts, register to watch the class here.

And for an even deeper study of this topic you can check out my Freeing the Neck and Shoulders Series, and Unraveling Body Anxiety Series, both of which are Feldenkrais focused.

You will need one yoga blanket and blocks for class.

Sarah Baumert has been teaching movement since 2006. She is a certified yoga teacher, yoga therapist and Feldenkrais practitioner. This podcast is an intersection of her yoga teaching and training in the Feldenkrais® method.

Episode 77: 

A short 35 minute practice with a focus on neck care, awareness, and education. It is an example of how I blend yoga and Feldenkrais principles in my classes.  If you enjoyed this class, and would like a longer version of the class, with visuals, I currently have a sample video class that works with these similar concepts, register to watch the class here.

There is not going to be a lot of deep neck stretching in this class. Over stretching the neck too aggressively is actually something we wanted to be kind of careful with. Our neck has a lot of potential for mobility. And sometimes we actually use the neck more than we need to because other parts of the body, particularly your thoracic spine, tend to be tight and this area of spine may not move as much as it could, thus borrowing the movement from the neck. So if you feel like your neck is working over time, this class is for you.

You will need one yoga blanket rolled into a cylinder for class.

Episode 72: 

A yoga nidra meditation specifically for those of you who are feeling overworked, overtired, overstressed, or over anxious. This will be restful for the body, and useful if you are having trouble sleeping, or just generally need a restorative practice. For those of you who are new to yoga nidra, it's basically a very long, guided savasana.

Sarah Baumert has been teaching movement since 2006. She is a certified yoga teacher, yoga therapist and Feldenkrais practitioner. This podcast is an intersection of her yoga teaching and training in the Feldenkrais® method. Classes include sensory rich movement experiences for a more resilient and healthy nervous system to help you feel a greater sense of ease and comfort in yourself.

Episode 71: 

A 30 minute gentle yoga class - a great class to do after a busy day or week. We will use a single blanket roll and a block. Some people may want a strap. This class does not leave the floor, and would be a great end to a long day, to do before bed, or after exercise.

Online Self Paced Course Shop Bonus Episode: Interview with Pamela Seelig - Connecting to the Spirit Through the Body Bonus Episode: Interview with Pamela Seelig - Connecting to the Spirit Through the Body Send me a text! What did you think of class?

This podcast is an intersection of my yoga teaching and my training in the Feldenkrais method. Today's bonus podcast is an interview with Pamela Seelig. 

Pamela recently published her first book, Threads of Yoga. In this interview we discuss the spiritual aspect of yoga, what it is like to start out as a yoga teacher, responsibilities of a yoga teacher and student, how yoga can be a doorway to a meditation practice, and generally how one can use the body to be of service for regenerating a connection to the spirit. I think this interview is interesting for both yoga teachers and students alike. Something I have never done on this podcast is to talk a bit more about my own experiences as a teacher, and my training and philosophy around teaching yoga, so you will get a little window into that as well. Pamela was a pleasure to speak with and I hope you enjoy this interview.

You can find more subtle body Feldenkrais audio classes on my website Body Matter, as well as registration for live online classes, self-paced courses and the Body Matter library membership.

Sarah has been creating podcast classes since 2007. Each podcast is an originally crafted class taught by Sarah Baumert. Sarah's teaching is alignment based, unhurried, and rich with somatic inquiries. The cueing is effective, easy to follow, and uses visualizations of postures to allow for unexpected growth and depth. You will find live unplugged versions of her classes from yoga studios, as well as classes that are specifically produced for the podcast medium.

Today’s class is a 60 minute Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson. This lesson is often helpful for those suffering from lower back pain. 

Please approach this class with ease. This is different from yoga, where you may arrive in an asana and stay there. Instead we are doing small movements. You will repeat the directions slowly and rest in between actions. If you have never done a Feldenkrais® lesson, I suggest you read these guidelines for practicing Awareness Through Movement.

Today’s class is a mini Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement lesson that you will do sitting in a chair. No other props will be needed, so please take a moment to find a stable chair with a flat sitting surface. 

Many of us are spending a much longer time in front of screens. And this creates more load and restriction around our shoulders and leads to unease and tension in the shoulders and the neck. We will use our own hands and a soft attention as a way to help relax these commonly tense areas.

Episode 66: 

This class is a 75 minute level 1/2  live yoga class that focuses on finding both length and strength in your torso. This includes the back (the spine) and the front (including your abdominal muscles). You may feel like this is a class that both softens the abdomen and strengthens it. Likewise, the back muscles may feel simultaneously worked and massaged longer. 

In this class, we start lying flat on the back. Eventually we will use a single yoga blanket rolled into a cylinder and place it behind the thoracic spine. You could use a yoga bolster or a soft foam roller, but the class was designed with a rolled yoga blanket. You will also want a strap, yoga blocks, and a wall space.

What did you think of class? Episode 66:  This class is a 75 minute level 1/2  live yoga class that focuses on finding both length and strength in your torso. This includes the back (the spine) and the front (including your abdominal muscles). You may feel like this is a class that both softens the abdomen and strengthens it. Likewise, the back muscles may feel simultaneously worked and massaged longer.  In this class, we start lying flat on the back.

Today’s class is a 60 minute Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement lesson. This is the intro class to my upcoming 8-week Feldenkrais® series, Unraveling Body Anxiety which you can join live on Zoom or via the class recordings. In this series, we will be exploring the subject of anxiety and how it manifests in our bodies.

Please approach this class with ease. This is different from yoga, where you may arrive in an asana and stay there. Instead we are doing small movements. You will repeat the directions slowly and rest in between actions.  In today's lesson there is an emphasis on the "letting go" of the movement. If you have never done a Feldenkrais® lesson, I suggest you read these guidelines for practicing Awareness Through Movement.

And this class is an example of my blended Yoga + Feldenkrais® classes. Each class infuses more traditional yoga asana practice with the Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement method. You can think of it as an interdisciplinary excursion of yoga, Feldenkrais, self-massage, breathing exercises, movement puzzles, and a compassionate mindset - to help you feel a greater sense of ease and comfort in yourself.

In this class, we start with a longer somatic exploration using a blanket roll for support in helping you feel and soften the spine. At the end of class a number of concepts are brought together to create a continuous moving backbend practice. This is meant to move in and out of, and to slowly repeat just as you might in a Feldenkrais class.   

We will make a single blanket roll or cylinder. We will use a strap and two blocks.

This is a 75 minute Level 1-2 class taught live. We begin with breath work, exploring a few of the many different ways that the diaphragm can shape the torso and support the spine. There is a focus on recovering or regaining the natural lumbar curve that has disappeared for so many people who sit a lot. We will also do a number of shoulder external rotation practices which will help reverse forward leaning shoulders and a tight chest which are the effects of holding your phone and looking down a lot! You will need two blankets, two blocks, and a loop-able strap.

We will make a double blanket roll or cylinder. We will use the looped strap around the forearms, and the two blocks will stack on top of one another to place your front foot on them during anjaneyasana.

This class begins with some breathing explorations to help warm up your sensing abilities of the lungs, their capacity to fill, and their capacity to change shape in order to support your asanas. Our breath is constantly adapting to the environment we put ourselves in. In this class, feel how your breath can adapt to the shapes of the asanas. We do a lot of shoulder opening and awareness of the internal spaces to support backbends, culminating in camel pose.

Episode 56:

This is a recording of a mini class that I taught during the first few months of the Covid crisis, when many of us, including yoga and movement teachers began looking at screens for many more hours a day than we were used to. This class does not include much asana at all, but is more of a meditation and yoga for the eyes. It is informed by the Feldenkrais practice, of which I am also a practitioner of. This lesson will help calm the nervous system, relax your eyes, let go of Zoom fatigue, help you find ease in the face and eye muscles, and may even help you fall asleep.

You will not need any props for this class. The class is mostly done in a supine savasana position, so be sure that you are warm enough and comfortable. If you enjoy this class, you may be interested in more of the Feldenkrais offerings that I have on my website www.body-matter.com

It’s been over a year since I have posted a podcast. I’m very happy to share this first Tech-antidote class with you. This class is not just for the imbalances you may be finding in your body, but also the mental fatigue, the brain fog, and the emotional rollercoaster that being connected online for hours can do to the whole self. A contemplative practice is such a crucial part of our work-life-stress balance. Managing your stress is a huge step towards good health. I hope this episode and all the past podcasts help to keep you balanced, healthy, and happy.

Episode 49:

When something stressful is happening in our lives the shoulders tend to be a common place where we hold tension in the body. Tense muscles, if ignored can lead to injury later on. This tense feeling in the shoulders can even start to creep up towards the ears, give us tension headaches, and keep us from having a healthy and restful night of sleep.

Sitting for hours over a keyboard, which we are all too familiar with, can contribute to tightness in the hips, legs, neck, shoulders, and back. This creates an unhealthy posture that you take with you when you leave your office for the day, in which the back and shoulders hunch down and the neck protrudes the head forward. The spine thus becomes misaligned when the body is in such a stagnate position.

In this short class, we will move through basic poses that target areas of tension which can be an effective antidote to many desk job ailments and general stress build up in the shoulders. This is meant to be a class that you could use if you only have a short amount of time, but need a quick break from sitting at your desk. Or, if you come home from work and you need a little pick me up, this class will energize those stagnate tight areas. As an added bonus, yoga can have powerful effects on the mind and may help address the damaging stress of a high-pressure job by helping to calm the mind and quiet racing thought patterns.

We move on to seated dandasana and a slow modified sun salutation. Utkatasana is our main standing pose and is practiced with kapalabhati pranayama. Headstand (salamba sirsasana) and crow pose (bakasana) are some of the more challenging poses that we lead up to. If you do not have a headstand practice, be sure to consult a live teacher before you invert fully. Class ends with a series of twists. If you have sacroiliac instability, be sure to keep your effort at 80% in the twists without forcing any position.

This is an active prenatal class for mothers who feel fit and healthy during their pregnancy. This class is suitable for the first and second trimesters and can be practiced into the third trimester, monitoring how you are feeling. With that said, we still move in a slow and graceful pace. Starting with a seated meditation, we then move into seated postures that create space in the side body and the hips. This will include a flowing sequence side to side in parvritta janu sirsasana which you can see photos of below. Our flowing standing poses will take us through tree pose (vrksasana), warrior I and II (virabhadrasana I and II), wide legged forward fold (prasarita padottanasana), goddess pose, and triangle (trikonasana). Squats, sIngle pigeon, and a side savasana will finish the practice.

What did you think of class? Episode 47: This is an active prenatal class for mothers who feel fit and healthy during their pregnancy. This class is suitable for the first and second trimesters and can be practiced into the third trimester, monitoring how you are feeling. With that said, we still move in a slow and graceful pace. Starting with a seated meditation, we then move into seated postures that create space in the side body and the hips. This will include a flowing sequence side to side in parvritta janu sirsasana which you can see photos of below. Our flowing standing poses will take us through tree pose (vrksasana), warrior I and II (virabhadrasana I and II), wide legged forward fold (prasarita padottanasana), goddess pose, and triangle (trikonasana). Squats, sIngle pigeon, and a side savasana will finish the practice. Props needed: Two blankets (or towels and pillows) and two blocks Sarah Baumert has been teaching movement since 2006.

This is a 35-minute meditation practice that is useful when you are managing physical pain or emotional pain that may be felt in the body. This practice is based on the concept of Pratipaksha Bhavana that can be found in the Yoga Sutras. Sutra 1.33 as translated by Nischala Joy Devi says:

“When presented with disquieting thoughts or feelings, cultivate an opposite, elevated attitude. This is Pratipaksha Bhavana.”

Episode 45:

In this 90 minute class, I build upon some of the material that I will be exploring during my March retreat. The class will grow from a seated meditation into some longer yin style poses and eventually towards more challenging asanas. Take this class as a way to discover your limits, and soften your mental and physical boundaries. Your hips and lower back will thank you, and you will get a tiny glimpse of what I have planned for the retreat.

You will need a block, a strap, and a wall to place the short end of your mat.

A large part of the art and skill in a yoga practice is the ability to sense how far one can move in a stretch. If there is no challenge in a pose, no intensity or stretch, then there will be little possibility for opening. The opposite approach of going too far in a pose, increases the possibility for pain and injury to occur. Somewhere between these two places is a happy middle ground. It is possible to find a degree of stretch that is in balance. Where there is a challenge without pain. Where there is vigor without strain.

Experiencing this balance or middle ground relies on a high degree of sensitivity. This place in the stretch just before pain, but not pain itself, could be referred to as a your boundary. With heightened sensitivity, the boundary can soften and you will be able to feel more space in your poses. Pain tells you where the limits of your physical conditioning lie. The length of your stay is determined by your endurance limit, while your interest in a pose is a function of your attention.

Take this class as a way to play with all of these boundaries: endurance, strength, stretch, and mental attention. As you “play the edges of the boundaries”, your skill in yoga has little to do with your degree of flexibility. Rather it is a function of how sensitive you play with these limits.

This is a 75 minute live slow flow class. Class begins with a short pranayama to bring attention to the inhale phase of the breath and how the inhale can enhance an opening and lifting of the chest during the asanas.

This balanced practice includes a number of standing poses and twists, ending with  purvottanasana, or upward facing plank pose as our backbend. This pose, as well as the more general focus of class will be on how we can find a lift and buoyancy in the chest. We will use the inhale phase of the breath to wake up and open the muscles of the chest and the exhale phase of the breath to connect to the deeper abdominal muscles that hold us up in the poses.

Traveling, especially by air, can be very hard on the body. It wreaks havoc on our posture and the our mental state. You may feel spacey, anxious, or generally unsettled when you are traveling. This class will ground your energy, helping you to feel awake, rested, open and ready to enjoy the rest of your day and your new destination.

As you do this practice, cultivate a slow, deep and even breath. On slow inhalations focus on bringing space and life back into the body and on long exhalations focus on a sense of grounded steadiness.

Today we briefly explore bringing attention to our samskaras during the hatha yoga practice. The concept of samskaras from the Yoga Sutras refers to the imprints that are left on the subconscious mind from our experiences, in other words, our habits. In this 40 minute practice, we touch on how becoming more aware of our samskaras during an asana practice can help us relate to our environment during the rest of our lives.

What did you think of class? Episode 41: Today we briefly explore bringing attention to our samskaras during the hatha yoga practice. The concept of samskaras from the Yoga Sutras refers to the imprints that are left on the subconscious mind from our experiences, in other words, our habits. In this 40 minute practice, we touch on how becoming more aware of our samskaras during an asana practice can help us relate to our environment during the rest of our lives.

Episode 40:

A new podcast exploring the “cat spine” pose and how the rounding of the back that we do in this pose can be utilized during the practice of other asanas to bring freedom to the neck and upper back. Use this asana to slow down and to help bring some space and freedom in that “hard-to-get” stuck area between the shoulder blades.

Episode 36:

This class is  a video specifically designed for those with a posterior tilt of the pelvis. Before going ahead and doing this podcast, you will want to be sure that this class is suitable for your postural habits. A posterior tilt of the pelvis tucks the tail under and often creates a rounding lower back/lumbar spine. 

Generally, this causes the hamstrings to be tight, the lower back to flatten from its natural lumbar curve, and the shoulders to begin a steady slump forward. The class was originally created with as a video. I have posted the audio version here. Please refer to the podcast blog post to access the video. Be sure to have a blanket or towel, and a strap.

This is a 75 minute practice in which the poses are held slightly longer. The way that most of the asanas in this class are designed is so that you feel more supported by the props and the floor. I hope that you find this class beneficial for you when you need more of those long juicy stretches rather than a vigorous vinyasa class. To find a video version of this class visit the podcast blog post here. 

You will need a block, a strap, and a blanket for class. There is an added bonus at the end of class introducing how to bring a foam roller into your yoga practice.

Episode 32:

This is a 90 minute class without any down dog or poses that require weight bearing on the wrists and hands. This class is great for anyone because of its focus on opening up the upper back and keeping an open posture in the chest. This relieves any pinching or stress that occurs in the shoulders, arms, and wrists from poor posture.

You will need two blocks, a strap, and a blanket or towel. (also have two ice packs ready for savasana if you have inflammation in your wrists).

Some of the poses we will move through include: ardha salamba sirsasana- half headstand/headstand prep, utkatasana- chair pose, virabadrasa III- warrior III, garudasana- eagle pose, malasana- garland pose, ardha matsyendrasana- half lord of the fishes pose, and gomukasana- cow’s face pose.

Some of the poses we will move through include: ardha salamba sirsasana- half headstand/headstand prep, utkatasana- chair pose, virabadrasa III- warrior III, garudasana- eagle pose, malasana- garland pose, ardha matsyendrasana- half lord of the fishes pose, and gomukasana- cow’s face pose.

Episode 21:

This is a 20 minute podcast with very few poses. It is the first in a series I will be doing that uses imagery to help soften tension and bring space and awareness into the body. The focus of this class is mainly on breathing, the pelvis, awareness in the spine, and feeling the expanse from head to toe. If you are feeling extra wound up today, this podcast could be a nice way to start a longer practice or a way to simply chill out and release some aggression you may be holding in the body.

What did you think of class?

Episode 19:

This is a vodcast that I recorded specially for a student who has a slipped disk in her lumbar spine. In general this is a gentle class that most everyone can participate in. However, if you are dealing with a different injury your program should always be tailored to fit your specific needs. If you would like to watch the video of this class visit the podcast episode page on my website body-matter.com

While your back pain persists if you have a slipped of herniated disk in the lower back there are a few things to remember when you are practicing yoga:

*Do not bend forward past 90 degrees with straight knees.
*Avoid all seated forward bends. (which there are none of in this class)
*Avoid rounding your back. (you will notice we are doing a lot of small gentle arches in the lower back which will help ease the disk back towards its correct placement)
* If any pose causes pain, tingling, or numbness, stop immediately.

Be sure to modify with blankets, blocks, straps and any other props that you need.
