Dynamic

Duration: 28 minutes

Emphasis: Enjoy this repetitive flow that takes you from one end of the mat to the other, and back again. It includes High Lunge (Alanasana), Side Lunge (Skandasana), Side Arm Balance (Vasisthasana) and Pigeon Pose (Eka Pada Rajkapotasana).

Props needed: None required.

Mat direction: You choose - at some point you'll have your back to the screen but I hope you'll pick up the flow quickly and know where you're going :-)

Duration: 1hr 1 minute

Emphasis: This class takes you through a kneeling warm-up, slow Sun Salutation As, then three similar sequences - the first done in kneeling lunge or Crescent Moon Pose (Anjaneyasana), the second in Warrior 1 (Virabhadrasana I) and the third in High Lunge (Alanasana). You'll then come down to the floor for a seated sequence that mirrors the same movements followed by a well-deserved Savasana. 

Props needed: A blanket and you might need a belt for Bridge Pose (Setu Bhandasana).

Mat direction: Short edge of the mat facing the screen.

Duration: 36 minutes

Emphasis: After a slow Sun Salutation A to warm up you'll do a modified Sun Salutation B and then two more with extra poses added in. Expect some spinal rotations, hamstring stretches and strengthening squats. A seated sequence completes the practice.

Props needed: Two bricks and a blanket for under your knees.

Mat direction: Short edge facing the screen.

Duration: 16 minutes

Emphasis:  Boost your exercise routine by adding some weights work. You'll be helping to keep your bones and connective tissues strong and healthy, your joints stable and ... and it burns lots of calories too. In this short, whole-body class you'll do squats, lunges, dumbell presses in Warrior 1 Pose, Plank Pose, some Locust Pose leg raises, Bridge Pose and Boat Pose - firstly without weights and then with weights. Start with light weights and build up to heavier ones over time as you practise this class, or the other weights classes on a regular basis.

Props needed: Two handweights (technical name dumbells!).

Mat direction: Short edge of the mat facing the screen.

Duration: 20 minutes

Emphasis:  This is a short circular flow, perfect for when you don't have much time but want to fit your practice in. Expect Sun Salutations to warm-up then you'll add on some poses such as Warrior 1 (Virabhadrasana I) and Reverse Warrior (Viparita Virabhadrasana) facing the front of the mat, Goddess Pose (Utkata Konasana) facing the side of the mat and then repeating the Warrior poses facing the back of the mat. The whole sequence is then repeated to take you round in a circle and back to where you started. The sequence is then repeated once more at a slightly faster pace. Then it's onto the floor for some supine core strengtheners and a relaxing twist before a short Savasana.

Props needed: None needed.

Mat direction: Long edge of the mat facing the screen.

Duration: 46 minutes

Emphasis:  In this circular flow you'll warm up with Sun Salutation A and then in the next round poses such as Half Splits (Ardha Hanumanasana), a variation of Revolved Triangle Pose (Parivrtta Trikonasana), Side Lunge (Skandasana) and Revolved Wide Legged Forward Bend Pose (Parivrtta Prasarita Padottanasana. The sequence is repeated once with kneeling poses and then again with standing poses and it will take you from the front of the mat to the side of the mat to the back of the mat, and around again to finish where you started from. Some supine leg stretches finish the focus on the legs and lead you into Savasana.

Props needed: A blanket to kneel on, two bricks and a yoga belt.

Mat direction: Long edge of the mat facing the screen.

Duration: 23 minutes

Mat direction: Long edge of the mat facing the screen.

Duration: 21 minutes

Emphasis:  A great class for when you're short on time but want to move your whole body. These two short sequences are done entirely on the knees. We move from one end of the mat to the other doing poses such as Balancing Table Pose (Dandayamana Bharmanasana), Warrior 2 (Virabhadrasana II) and Side Angle Pose (Utthita Parsvakonasana) variations, Gate Pose (Parighasana), Half Side Plank Pose (Ardha Vasisthasana) and a twist. The second round contains a couple of extra challenges for you to try! ;-)

Props needed: A blanket as padding for your knees.

Mat direction: Long edge of the mat facing the screen.

Duration: 43 minutes

Emphasis:  This class features 5 rounds of Sun Salutations - 2 basic ones to warm up and then 3 more rounds, each with a Hand to Big Toe Pose (Padangusthasana) varation at the end of the sequence. Usually Padangustasana is done with the lifted leg straight, but in this class you'll do it with the leg bent. You'll then come down to the ground and repeat the shapes of these 3 poses lying down, before relaxing in Savasana.

Props needed: No props needed except maybe a wall to put your hand on to help you with the balancing poses.

Mat direction: Short edge of the mat facing the screen.

Duration: 54 minutes
