Yin for Hips and Pelvis – 45 mins
With Chris Molloy.
This Yin class, led by Chris, will help create space in the pelvic area and open up to free any stuck emotions in this sacred space. For this practice, and for your own comfort, Chris recommends using props: a bolster, two blocks and a blanket. Remember you are working with soft tissue rather than muscles, so take your time and hold for as long as feels good for your body.
Shoulders and Back – 45 mins
With Chris Molloy.
This class, led by Chris, is focused on opening your shoulders and upper back – a great practice to do if you are feeling stressed or tense.
For this practice, you will need two blocks and a blanket. If you are new to backbends, or indeed have never practised them before, then please move slowly and intuitively with your body. It’s not about how far you bend, its about how it feels in your body.
Grounding Flow – 45 mins
With Chris Molloy.
This is a grounding practice. A grounding practice helps to connect you to the earth; your feet, legs, hips and pelvis are your root system, so as you root down you rise and grow. Think of this practice as tilling the soil: the more you practice, the more space for growth.
For this practice, it can be nice to use a blanket and two blocks. At the end, Chris likes to use an eye pillow for savasana. Be mindful of your knees in this practice and take your time getting in and out of each asana.
Meditation for Relationships – 10 mins
With Chris Molloy.
Relationships are part of our everyday lives; you cannot escape them. This meditation allows you to tune into the frequency of joy. Relationships are a tool of self-reflection; they are beautiful, and offer much opportunity for love. Use this meditation daily, or as often as you need, to attract those who operate on your frequency and be more confident in yourself as a reflection of love.
Meditation for Anxiety – 10 mins
With Chris Molloy.
You can use this meditation as a tool to grow strength in your understanding of the causes of anxiety in your life. The more you practice, the more resilient and confident you will become in taking back control and the power of your mind.
Yoga with a Twist – 30 mins
With Chris Molloy.
Twisting can be challenging but so rewarding. This practice will help to open blockages in your body, stretching the sides of your body with loving awareness. Think while you inhale to lengthen; while you exhale, twist. Ultimately, the poses will help all body systems when practiced regularly.
Shoulder opening flow – 30 mins
With Chris Molloy.
Most of our lives are spent with our shoulders rounded, the chest becoming concave and not allowing the lungs to breathe properly. This practice is perfect anytime of day. Use your breath to release tension and notice how your breath expands and lengthens the more you practice. Suitable for all levels.
Whole-body Opening Flow for after Work – 45 mins
With Chris Molloy.
Take a break from the desk and unwind. Grab your mat, a blanket and two blocks (or hard-backed books) and allow your body to open.
Our modern lives are spent mainly seated – over laptops, driving, texting. This flow will invite you to open out and release the tension of the day. Everything is optional, but the more you practice these asana and take the time at the start and end of the class to tune inwards, you might find space and breath in parts of your body that have been previously stuck.
Runner’s Flow – 30 mins
With Chris Molloy.
This Yoga flow practice has a focus on aligning your breath to your movement, to help the focus of yoga and awareness of breath bring more power into your run.
The focus here will be on the feet and knees, building strong, flexible muscles to allow stability and longevity in your runs. Expect some standing holds (use those blocks or books) and enjoy the lightness you feel throughout your whole body after this class.
Balance Practice – 50 mins
With Chris Molloy. A practice to align your body to your breath, the heart of your emotions – and find balance in those poses that some of us can find a bit tricky.
Evening Yin – 30 mins
With Chris Molloy. This is a gentle shoulder opener class, suitable for all levels.
We will allow space into the shoulders and upper back while letting the body receive breath into any tightness in that space. If you have shoulder injuries or upper back pain, then please go slowly; hold the poses for a few breaths, then build up to hold a little longer. Practising this class each day will allow you to open up to the possibilities of back bends and upper body strength.
