40-60 minutes

Duration: 1 hour

Emphasis: This is an intermediate level flow with 5 rounds of Sun Salutations and a number of backbends too. Expect a different variation of Warrior 1 (Virabhadrasana I) in each round and Snake Pose (Sarpasana), Half Frog Pose (Ardha Bhekasana), Bow Pose (Dhanurasana), Camel Pose (Ustrasana), Bridge Pose (Setu Bhanda) and some relaxing supported backbends too.

Props: None needed unless you'd like a blanket to sit on.

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

Duration: 45 minutes

Emphasis: This is a vinyasa flow class with a bit of a difference. As you move through the Sun Salutations and come out of Downward Facing Dog, each of the standing poses will be held for 5 breaths. The long holds are what you would expect to find in an Iyengar practice - they focus the mind, give you time to check the alignment in your body and regulate your breathing. And they make you stronger too!

Props required: None required unless you'd like a blanket over you in Savasana.

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

Duration: 42 minutes

Emphasis: After a warm-up round of Sun Salutation A you'll do three more rounds that include a standing balance - Warrior 3 (Virabhadrasana III) variation, Half Moon Pose (Ardha Chandrasana) and Revolved Half Moon Pose (Parivrtta Ardha Chandrasana). A supine sequence featuring leg stretches followed by Savasana will complete your practice..

Props needed: Two bricks and a yoga belt.

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

Duration: 42 minutes

Emphasis: In this class you'll warm up and build up to full Sun Salutations, then in subsequent rounds there will be a squat variation - Chair Pose (Utkatasana), Half Chair Pose (Ardha Utkatasana), Candle Pose (Prapidasana) and Garland Pose (Malasana) - at the end of each round. Then it's down to the floor for some Bridge Pose variations (Setu Bandhasana), Happy Baby Pose (Supta Balasana), Reclined Bound Angle Pose (Supta Baddha Konasana) plus a twist, a seated hip opener plus twist and finally Blossoming Lotus Pose (Vikasita Kamalasana). and Revolved Abdomen Twist Pose (Jathara Parivartanasana) and then a well-deserved Savasana.

Props needed: A blanket and a block.

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

Duration: 40 minutes

Emphasis: This flow will take you through a variety of twists - firstly, kneeling in the warm-up, then through two Sun Salutation sequences and then finally some seated poses too.

Props needed: A blanket to kneel on, blocks and/or bricks for under your hands and to sit on and you might want a belt for the final pose.

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

Duration: 45 minutes

Emphasis: This flow sequence will take you through Sun Salutation A and then from standing up to sitting down via Candle Pose (Prapidasana), Garland Pose (Malasana), Boat Pose (Navasana), Easy Pose Forward Bend (Adho Mukha Sukhasana) and Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana). In the next round a couple of extra poses are added in - a seated spinal roll back (which I explain at the beginning of the class) and Upward Plank Pose (Purvottanasana). Coming down to the floor for a seated sequence you'll do Revolved Thunderbolt Pose aka Kneeling Pose (Upward Plank Pose), Camel Pose (Ustrasana), Sage Bharadvaja's Twist (Bharadvajasana) and Reclined Easy Pose (Supta Sukhasana).

Props needed: You might need blocks and a blanket.

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

Duration: 51 minutes

Emphasis: The deep stretches in this class will help to keep you flexible, stretching connective tissues and improving joint mobility. The slow pace of the class and quiet spaces between the poses will help your nervous system relax and your mind to become still. Yin yoga is the perfect practice for the end of the day, allowing you to let go of all the busy-ness and set you up for a good night's sleep.

Props needed: None apart from a blanket for padding if required.

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

Duration: 58 minutes

Emphasis: In this class we make repetitive movements to help improve mobility. We'll try some unusual, fun challenges too. I hope this class will leave you feeling looser and more limber in your joints and muscles.

Props needed: A blanket and two cushions.

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

Duration: 53 minutes

Emphasis: A Sun Salutation-based flow class that has a focus on retracting the shoulder blades (pulling them towards each other) that helps to broaden and stretch the upper chest and stabilise and strengthen the shoulder girdle. This movement is really helpful when doing poses such as Bridge Pose and Shoulderstand is it encourages extension of the upper spine, lifting it in and up away from the floor, rather than rounding and pressing down into the floor which can feel uncomfortable in these poses. Regular practice of shoulder blade retraction can help the upper back and chest area feel more mobile and spacious and improve your posture and breathing too.

Note: It is important to keep your head and neck still whilst doing Shoulderstand so please watch the instructions first so you don't turn your head to see the screen in the pose. If you haven't done Shoulderstand before or for a while you might want to watch and practise the 'Shoulderstand Using The Wall Tutorial - February 2024' first.

Props needed: Two blankets and possibly a yoga belt if you are tight across the upper chest and front of the shoulders.

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

Duration: 59 minutes

Emphasis: All the poses in this class use a chair so make sure you have a good sturdy one that won't move. Expect familiar poses, some done seated on the chair and some done standing with the chair for support, plus a nice restful Savasana too. 

Props needed: A chair and a blanket

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

Duration: 48 minutes

Emphasis: After warming up with some seated stretches you'll do some Sun Salutations with extra poses that will stretch the arms and shoulders. Coming down to the ground you'll do some poses that stretch the legs and hips and then come up to do the pose that you've done all the preparation for - Gomukhasana (Cow-Face Pose). 

Props needed: A block, a blanket and a yoga belt (or tie from a bathrobe).

Mat direction: Short edge facing the screen.

Duration: 43 minutes

Emphasis: I loved recording this chair class - and I hope you do too. We repeat the sequence 3 times so you start to know where we're going and can focus on the sensations in the body rather than working out the instructions in your mind. Expect lots of twisting variations seated on the chair plus some poses kneeling on the floor with the hands on the chair so make sure your chair is sturdy and wont slip.

Props Needed: 2 blocks and a sturdy chair plus a blanket for under your knees if required.

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