Every year I teach, I push myself to try something new. This year, in my Vinyasa class, I am teaching the same class every week for the entire month. I hope this consistency can provide some stability within your practice.

Here is what you can expect:

• A few minutes of somatic, free movement as a mental warm-up. This is to bring your mind to your body, initiating that connection and starting the conversation between the two.
• Moments of stillness and silence, some gentle breathwork, or just acknowledging the breath and the role it upholds.
• 3 Sun Salute A
• 2 Sun Salute B
• Unguided balance. You can choose to practice a similar posture on both sides, or you can choose to hop around on one foot, do tae bo kicks, etc.
• 2 Forward folds. The first to warm up, the second to work. These folds will go into a high-low vinyasa, followed by the standing sequence of the month.
• Standing sequence of 3-6 postures performed on both sides of the body.
• High-low vinyasa to the floor.
• Dandasana – Staff Pose
• 2 Forward folds. The first to warm up, the second to work.
• Reverse table-top/ plank. Into a high-low vinyasa, followed by seated postures of the month.
• Seated sequence of 3-6 postures performed on both sides of the body.
• Possibly another posture
• Final high-low vinyasa
• Easy seat to gather any blankets, blocks, layers, etc.
• Savasana

I will do my best to accommodate each month with a corresponding video.
