Open Yoga 21.02.21 – Heaviness vs Lightness (Bringing Presence to Practice Series)
This week’s Open Yoga class is class 2 in the series of bringing presence to practice. Noticing or tracking how the body feels during a yoga session is tricky, throughout this series Ashley will offer you ways to begin to build more awareness, finding simple practices that slow things down and allow more time to be present.
This class asks you to draw your attention to two ‘simple’ sensations, heaviness and lightness. Can you stay present to where you feel or notice sensations of heaviness? Can you notice where it is lighter? How can locating heaviness lend itself to feeling stable or strong? How can drawing your attention to areas that feel light support creating more space or stretch? Is it possible to just stay with these sensations and that by staying with them find different ways to negotiate moving?

We will attempt to locate a little more space in our bodies in order to move or rest more comfortably.

Open Yoga 29.09.20 Finding Space in Tight Times
This Open Yoga practice is an opportunity to used our awareness of our bodies to find SPACE during these confined times. We’ve hit the 6-month mark of our time in lock-down/semi-lock down and the 6 month mark is a proven point during difficult times of real shift towards fatigue, loss of interest, a feeling that things will never end. How can we use our yoga practice to support ourselves in gaining more of a sense of freedom, space and opportunity. This practice focuses on the thoracic spine ‘space’ thinking about how we can use this area of the body to explore a sense of spaciousness, openness and movement – which may support us in locating these things off the mat.

This series is going to help support us is finding space and ease leading up to the holiday season. We’re kicking the series off with a session on working through resistance.

In this Open Yoga class we will explore lateral movements of the spine (sometimes called ‘side-bending’). As we continue to explore ways of finding more space to compensate for all the time we’re spending sitting forward-facing looking at screens. One way to explore lateral movements is to connect to the lungs – using the movement of the lungs to support us in moving sideways (or lifting and lowering our arms).
In this practice we will be exploring how our breath can support movement, there will be cues to consider and notice the breath, if this is uncomfortable feel free to stay present to the movement of the body.

This week’s Open Yoga class is our final in our postural exploration: beginning to find ways of better supporting our functional posture. In this class we explore the movement of spinal rotation. This movement in the spine is a movement that is common to experience when doing ‘twisting’ yoga postures. Twisting sounds wrong – it’s doesn’t exactly get at what’s happening in the body when we make these shapes. We’ll explore how rotations can follow along the pathway of other spirallic actions in the body, from feet to head. Moving in a way to feels less about ‘twisting it out’ and more about easing into more rotational space.

Open Yoga 17.02.21 – Grounding through balance
This blended Open Yoga and Yoga Gently class offers a possibility of exploring the grounding qualities of balancing. In a world that is increasingly out of kilter we hear the term ‘find balance’ and perhaps think the answer lies in finding the perfect balance between the various aspects of our lives (work, play, relaxation, exertion etc). In this class we explore the possibility that being out of balance and present helps us to find our way towards sometime more balanced, more grounded. That the art/science of balance comes not in expecting all things to be even, smooth, without wobbles, but in exploring the inherent stability within the instability.
Expect: A gentle class with optional flowing sequences and a short restorative practice at the finish

In this Just 1 session Ashley will guide you into, through and out of a reclining bound angle posture. Judith Hason Lassater calls this posture ‘the queen of all restorative postures,’ and we’d agree it’s a pretty grand posture indeed. Supporting the spine in a reclining shape offers a possible sense of containment or holding from which one might explore the opposite sensation of yielding or ease within the body. This one is one we could stay in ALL DAY LONG!
This shape is one of the few restorative postures that are possible during pregnancy.

Creating a broadening of the front of the ribcage (often referred to as a ‘heart opening’ posture in yoga). Lifting the ribcage can bring attention to your breath, feeling the expansion and contraction of the lungs. This shape also brings attention to the throat area – lengthening in the cervical spine. This shape can offer a sense of uplift during relaxation.

This month’s restorative yoga session in one in which we explore the possibility that just lying down and taking a few noticeable breaths may not be enough to help us settle towards rest. Our practice today is one in which you will be allowed time and invitation to seek out what your body needs in order to be more settled. Sometimes this might be movement? Sometimes this might be added support? Sometimes this might be noticing sounds around or within? During this class you will be given permission to seek out what you need right now, in this moment to find more ease in order to better settle toward rest.
Restorative yoga practice involves mainly lying down postures that are supported by props you can find around your home, held for several minutes. This practice is one that supports the nervous system in settling.

Creating Ease
A flowing class for locating space and ease in the body.
This is a class for creating ease. Can we find ease within our practise? Can we allow the experience of yielding to bring us towards more strength, uplift, and efficiency of movement? There is a lot of pressure currently to be productive, to do more, however, in order to do this, we also need to yield. We cannot produce out of thin air, we need the support of the ground, the nourishment of rest – to help support us springing into action. Noticing how yield and rebound support us in our practice may act as a guide for us off the mat. Instead of doing 100% in this session, see what happens when you do 80%, do a little less and see if more arrives.

Part 1. Finding Our Feet
A great starting place for your yoga journey. This is a class for finding your feet beneath you.
The first class of this series centres around the question: how can you utilize the support of your feet meeting the ground to create more stability and strength in your standing postures? In this class you will explore mountain posture (tadasana), warrior 1 and warrior 3 (Virabhadrasana 1 & 3) postures; seeking stability, strength and comfort in all three.

In our second class together you will be invited to explore the movements of your hips.
This class will explore the various movements of the hips, rotations both externally and internally. How can these movements feel better in your bodies and how how can you feel a containment here (stable/strong)? These rotations are part of many of the standing postures. You will be invited to explore external hip rotation in warrior II and side-angle postures as well as the standing balancing tree posture.

Part 3. Getting to Know Our Spines
The third class in this series will explore spinal movements.
This is a class for exploring all the ways you move your spine. Exploring spinal movements is an important way of getting to know your own body and how it moves. In this class you will be invited to find accessible ways to move in all directions in our spine. How can you find more space and strength in forward-folding actions? How can you find more length and support in backward moving spinal actions? Moving the spine in all directions is needed – begin to find comfortable pathways in and out of flexion/extension/rotation and lateral bending in your spine so that this movement feels manageable, comfortable and stable. You will explore these movements in cat/cow posture and standing forward folding postures.
Possible props needed (but if you do not have them, do not worry, you can still practice):

Part 4. Finding Centre
In the fourth and final class of this series you look at how to connect to the centre of your body.
A key aspect of a yoga practice is developing more awareness of your body. In this class we will begin to develop our awareness of the centre of your body. Consider the image of a starfish, with this 5 pointed structure. Using this image, you will be invited to explore how your 4 limbs and head thread toward the centre, how your movement in the outer parts of your body are supported by the centre of your body. In this class you will begin to deconstruct the more basic understandings of ‘core’ in the greater movement world (fitness classes etc) and find ways of creating a more holistic approach to this area of your body.
Possible props needed (but if you do not have them, do not worry, you can still practice):
- Yoga mat

Part 1. Finding Your Voice
The first class in the Finding Your Self-Practice Series explores the area around the neck, through, head and upper back. This is an Open Yoga class.
In this class we explore the area of the throat, neck and head – how can we find and keep a sense of space here? The neck/throat area is the confluence of so many things – muscles, pathways, the spinal cord, trachea, esophagus, major arteries. And this is often an area we feel tight or stuck. This practice allows us to know where our head/neck is in location to the rest of our spine or where your head is in location to the space around it. Often our head movements can get lost as we shift from shape to shape. Explore what positions your head feels most comfortable? Spacious? Supported?

Part 2. Finding Your Balance
The second in our series Finding a Self-Practice looks at noticing when we feel balanced in our practice. This is a Yoga Gently class.
How do we know we’re ‘in balance?’ Even the idea of balance can create an imbalance in us. So how do we find balance? One way is to gently explore the opposite of balance. When do we feel out of balance? Often a sign that something matters greatly to us is accompanied by a lost sense of balance (think of falling in love). We should not underestimate our wish to lose our balance. And perhaps it is through losing your balance that you gain more of a sense of what we need in order to feel stable. In this class this will mean coming in and out of balancing postures and movements in order to know what balance is for you today.

Part 3. Finding Strength & Courage
This is the third class in our series for ‘Finding a Self-Practice,’ an Open Yoga class focussing on finding strength and courage in your yoga practice.
Starting a self practice requires courage, it is always hard to begin something new. Practicing without a video or a teacher in front of you is daunting. Thoughts like, ‘will I do it right’ or ‘what would I even do alone on my mat?’ often stop us from trying. Self practice is about trusting your body, greeting it where you are and moving from that place. In this class you will do some mindful strength, allowing an opportunity to connect to your own strength. You’ll be invited to try out different types of movements, loading in different ways and experimenting with what feels strong or stable in your body.

Part 4. Finding Your Connection
The fourth class in our ‘Finding Your Self-Practice Series,’ is a Yoga Gently class aimed at developing more connection to your centre.
In this class you will build awareness of the centre area of your body (often called ‘core’). The centre is a complicated network of muscles and soft tissues that support just about every movement we make. As we become more aware of how to integrate our movements to and from the centre, we are more able to understand our strength, stability and mobility. The centre is NOT simply how our belly looks! In this class you will be invited to explore all the possibilities of the centre of you. Allow your centre to be all it is – complicated, strong, soft, full, supportive . . . allow it to be more than you’ve always believed!
Possible props needed (but if you do not have them, do not worry, you can still practice):

Part 6. Finding Trust
This class includes yoga postures as well as movements adapted to a chair, allowing you an opportunity to connect to these shapes/movements in a new way. At YATB we not only believe in creating accessible ways to connect to yoga, but we believe that movements should be experienced in many different forms. Seated yoga allows you an opportunity to move in a variety of possibilities – and our bodies can become more resilient/strong/flexible etc if we try movement patterns in lots of different ways. Expect a practice that is both settling and strong. Try it as a break from work if you’ve been seated at your desk all day!
