With Catherine Bernard
In this 30-minute practice, Cat will take you through a series of postures and exercises for the glutes. Some will be repeated a number of times, for strengthening and mobility, and others will be held for longer, for stretching. Having strong glutes is so important, as they help stabilise the body, improve posture and lessen lower back pain.

Yin for the Spine – 45 mins
With Catherine Bernard
In this 45-minute practice, Cat will take you through a selection of Yin postures that target the spine. In our daily lives, we might move the spine in two directions at most, and that’s why so many people feel stiff and get back pain. In this practice, the spine will move in all directions: forward, sideways, backward and twists.
The benefits will be physical, with improved mobility and range of motion, as well as energetic, as a lot of nerves, blood vessels and organs are connected to the spine.
Hamstring Flow – 60 mins
With Cat Bernard
Cat takes you through a slow flow yoga practice to open the hamstring and hips and work your way up to Hanumanasana, aka Monkey pose or the yoga splits.
If you are a beginner, this practice is doable, take it at your own pace, and focus on the supported versions of the pose and all the drills. If you are more advanced in your practice, this will bring you safely to the peak pose and might give you more freedom of movement.
