Course content

INTRODUCTION: WELCOME TO THE PROGRAM

Welcome to your foundations 28-day program. Here is a little about me and why this course is right for you.

DAY 1: GROUNDING WITH THE BREATH

Welcome to the first day of your yoga practice! Starting with the breath is the key to opening the body and calming the mind for a blissful experience on your mat. Working consciously with detailed alignment we link arm movements and explore energy awakening in the body through the pulse of the breath.

DAY 2: FINDING YOUR FEET

Focus on what is happening in your feet through your yoga practice. We find an activity of energy in your feet building solid foundations with Pada Bandha. With more attention to the breath, our attention is refined to stack from the feet, knees, hips, spine, and shoulders. Building strong physical foundations with steady focus, we build each pose from the ground up.

DAY 3: SUN SALUTATION A

Surya Namaskar A – The sun salutation. Here you access and honour the energy of the sun and invite this warmth into your body. You understand the key actions of the Surya Namaskar to awaken the light within and build your internal fire with the victorious breath. Have two yoga blocks ready!

DAY 4: MEDITATION WITH FOCUS ON THE PRESENT MOMENT

Start your meditation journey with simple techniques to help your mind stay focused on the present moment. To be here now. Have a cushion if you need to.

DAY 5: CLASSICAL SUN SALUTATION

Surya Namaskara Classical to honour the light within. The traditional method to salute the sun. I learned this in India many years ago. Warm up most of the muscles, ligaments, and joints but also connect to a deeper part of yourself.

DAY 6: WARRIOR 1 & 2

Become a wellness warrior and connect to your inner strength. Determination, discipline, and focus awaken a sense of vitality as you power up your legs!

DAY 7: CONTEMPLATIONS

Today is a day to reflect on your experience so far. What has the practice taught you? Write in your journal or decide how best to move through your day.

DAY 8: SUN SALUTATION B

There are many types of sun salutations you can utilise to awaken your inner fire. This one is a variation of the most common type of salutation. Still connecting to the light and building heat in your body.

DAY 9: RESTORING BALANCE

Balance comes in many forms. Here we learn that a balanced breath brings balance to the mind. Finding control through your yoga practice to transition between poses with confidence and a calm sense of clarity. Finding serenity in an often-changing world.

DAY 10: HAPPINESS FOR YOUR HIPS

The hips are the gateway to the upper and lower body. Responsible for moving us forward and supporting us, they can be tight for many people. Learn how to free up the hips and bring happiness to your spine.

DAY 11: HELP FOR YOUR HAMSTRINGS

Many people suffer from tight hamstrings. Patience is the key. It takes time and will be a continual work in progress. Walk taller after freeing your hamstrings from congestion.

DAY 12: MEDITATION ON RADIANT LIGHT WITH BHARAVA MUDRA

Connect to your inner light with this powerful balancing meditation.

DAY 13: WORK YOUR WARRIOR 3

Now that the hamstrings have been lengthened and you understand feet placement and your hips, it’s time to find more strength with your Warrior 3!

DAY 14: ASSESSING HOW YOU FEEL

Reflections on your journey. You have made it through two weeks of your practice. Now is the time to decide to rest or to revisit some of the previous lessons.

DAY 15: CLASSICAL CHANDRA NAMASKAR – HONOURING THE MOON

You don’t need a space shuttle to visit the moon. Here you learn one of my favourite salutations to the moon. I like to think of this as drinking the light of the moon to settle and calm the busy mind.

DAY 16: DECODING TRIANGLE POSE

Here you learn the grounding yet expanding qualities of triangle pose. One of the ultimate standing postures. Work further into your hips and hamstrings and bring healing to the spine.

DAY 17: TWIST THE TENSION OUT OF YOUR BODY

Sometimes when we feel low on energy the spine can start to hunch and you find yourself slouching. Learning to free the muscles around the spine with twisting can re-invigorate your energy to do the things you need to do!

DAY 18: YOGA FOR YOUR SPINE – BACKBENDING

Now that your spine feels invigorated it’s time to work into understanding backbends! Here we open the chest and shoulders, understand lengthening out of the lumbar, and open up more energy to the world around us.

DAY 19: MEDITATION ON HRIDAYA

Make the time to find the seed of the heart and radiating love and compassion in this calming meditation.

DAY 20: TWISTED TRIANGLE POSE

It’s time to bring the elements together that you have learned so far. Hamstring lengthening, hip positioning, spinal twisting all come together to create a twist in your triangle pose!

DAY 21: CONTEMPLATING YOUR JOURNEY

Well done for making it three weeks into the new you! Here you access your journey, listen to what your body needs and either rest and recover or dive deeper into journaling, meditation or your physical practice.

DAY 22: FIRE UP YOUR CORE

Core activation is imperative for stability and strength in your practice. Find some abdominal muscles you didn’t know you had in this class!

DAY 23: PREPARING TO FLY

Inversion are a great way to shift your perspective and see the world with a fresh gaze. Here we safely learn the stages to go upside down. Take your time with this one and repeat until you feel comfortable.

DAY 24: CALMING FORWARD FOLDS

Meditate on the bliss in your life and learn how to drink it down the energy channels of the body for a more radiant you.
