This 90 min class explores the responsive qualities of the foot’s fascia and arches, bringing anatomy and subtle energy into practice to investigate our relationship with the earth. We begin with a standing meditation on prana and apana, and move through a playful, exploratory sequence with awareness of the interplay of heavy/ light, prana/apana. Warrior 3 Krishna's pose Bhandas vinyasa Grounding forward bend variations Closing with mudra and meditation.

An in-depth Hatha yoga practice for teachers exploring Aparigraha (non-grasping) and the transition into autumn. This first Teachers’ Circle class aims to balance Vata dosha, making space for its creativity and movement while cultivating strength, grounding and steadiness. Through an exploration of the pathways of the lower limbs, we build towards Half Moon, practising staying connected to our roots while letting go of a particular outcome. The practice includes creative movement, alignment explorations, Anjali mudra, relaxation, pranayama and the Maha mrityunjaya mantra. Our sankalpa is: “I take a breath and return to my heart.” Take this time to nourish your own practice and gather inspiration for October’s teaching. The accompanying class plan includes teaching cues and thematic connections to explore in your own classes. Allow around 90 minutes. Have a belt, two yoga bricks, a cushion or sitting block and a blanket nearby, with access to a wall or chair for the balances if helpful.
