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
  • Blanket
  • Two yoga bricks or books

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):
  • Yoga mat
  • Blanket
  • Possibly a chair (or the flat surface of a sofa or piece of furniture to lean on)
