Therapeutic Yoga

Create space and openness in the hips with these mindful and somatic rolling and rounding movements. Great as a stand alone practice to calm your nervous system and drop in a little or to use as a warm up before a more active class. Enjoy!

Mapping pathways of the spine day with extension, sidebending, flexion and rotation. Exploring movement in the hips, thoracic spine and shoulders.

Explore the front chain of the body in our repetitive therapeutic movements today activating the chest and belly muscles. As well as re-mapping extension movements in the spine.

Mobilise your thoracic upper spine and help the rest of your spine and shoulders! A free upper spine means better rotation, flexion, extension and lateral flexion (side bending). If we have more movement in the spine we don't have to over rely on the shoulders to move excessively in certain ways like reaching up or around.

Using mindful movements in our body to find length, space and openness in the hips and shoulders region.

Reverse the effects of rounding forward over a desk and ‘texters neck’ from being on devices for long periods of time with this exercise. Re-learning how to use the upper thoracic spine to lengthen and extend from. This part of our spine can get stuck and restricted from excessive rounding forwards but with practice and patience we can reverse the habitual patterns the body has formed. Take it very slowly staying with the first stage for a few weeks perhaps (both hands clasping neck) until you feel confident and able to progress to next stage.
