Duration: 1 hour 4 minutes

Emphasis:  Some gentle twisting kneeling poses will start our class, followed by warming Sun Salutations. Then we'll add in some standing poses such as Extended Side Angle Pose (Utthita Parsvakonasana), Extended Triangle Pose (Utthita Trikonasana), Crescent Moon Pose (Anjaneyasana), Warrior 1 Pose (Virabhadrasana 1) and some variations of Revolved Side Angle Pose (Parivritta Parsvakonasana). Seated poses will include various twists in Wide Leg Forward Fold (Upavista Konasana). We'll finish with some symetrical poses such as Supine Bound Angle Pose (Supta Baddha Konasana), a gentle supported backbend and a supported Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana). A lovely long Savasana will allow you to rest and restore after this strong flow.

Props needed: The whole lot!! - some blocks, bricks or thick books for under your hands, a blanket to kneel on if required and a strap to help you with the bind in one of the seated poses.

Mat direction: Start with the short edge of the mat facing the screen and then turn it sideways for the seated poses.

Duration: 55 minutes

Emphasis:  After warming up by swinging the arms and gently moving the spine we'll take some Sun Salutations. I'll guide you through a strong but steady-paced sequence that includes some kneeling poses, including lunges and Half-Splits (Ardha Hanumanasana) and kneeling variations of Triangle Pose (Trikonasana) and Revolved Trianle Pose (Parivrtta Trikonasana). We then move on to a sequence of standing lunge to Pyramid Pose (Parsvottanasana) and the standing variations of the two Triangle poses. Some seated core work follows to strengthen abdominal muscles, followed by some seated and supine twists, before we take Savasana for final relaxation. Remember the general rule for twists - lengthen and elongate your spine on the inhale to create more space, and then twist on the exhale, making sure to turn your neck gently. 

Props needed: Some blocks, bricks or thick books for under your hands and a blanket to kneel on if required.

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

Duration: 28 minutes

Emphasis:  A seated sequence of poses to gently move your joints and stretch your muscles. Do this class on its own or add on an extra one afterwards if you want a longer practice.

Props needed: A block or folded blanket to sit on, two blocks or a thick book for the full-body stretch and a blanket for Savasana.

Mat direction: Long edge of the mat facing the screen might be best to help you see the supine poses.

Duration: 20 minutes

Emphasis:  Use this class as a warm-up and then choose another class (maybe a seated flow) for a longer practice, or use it as a complete practice in its own right. You'll move through Sun Salutations and add in Reverse Warrior (Viparita Virabhadrasana), a Warrior 2 variation (Virabhadrasana II) and Side Lunges (Skandasana), with lots of Single Leg Downward Facing Dog (Eka Pada Adho Mukha Svanasana).

Props needed: None required, unless you need a blanket for Savasana.

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

Duration: 70 minutes

Emphasis:  In this Sun Salutation based class we'll practice the two Gate Poses (Parighasana I and Parighasana II). Both of them strongly stretch the side of the torso, inviting space into the waist and between the ribs (these areas can get congested and squashed when we sit for long periods of time) and it will also stretch one leg whilst the other leg is bent. We'll do some other poses, such as Half Frog Pose (Ardha Bhekasana), a kneeling variation of Sugarcane Pose (Ardha Chandra Chapasana) and Revolved Half Hero Pose (Parivrtta Ardha Virasana) too.

Props needed: Two blocks or books for under your hands if your legs are tight, a strap or belt to help catch your foot, and a blanket to kneel on if required for padding, and for Savasana.

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

Duration: 19 minutes

Emphasis:  If you want to wake up your energy then these practices will do the trick. You'll move your body in all directions in repetitive and rhythmic movements which will help to release tension and allow your energy (known in yoga as Prana) to flow freely throughout your body. Please note: some of these practices might make you feel dizzy so if you have a tendency towards lightheadedness you might want to skip these ones - I'll mention them so you know which ones to avoid.

Props needed: Maybe a wall or table might be helpful to steady yourself if you feel a bit dizzy.

Mat direction: n/a.

Duration: 5 minutes

Emphasis:  In this short but heartfelt meditation you will direct loving kindness towards yourself to help guide you through this day, and all your days. It's one to repeat on a regular basis and to spend time offering the intentions out to all beings we share our planet with.

Props needed: A cushion will help you sit comfortably on the floor or you might prefer to sit in a chair.

Mat direction: n/a.

Duration: 52 minutes

Emphasis:  This class is based around Sun Salutations - in each round we'll add in 3 poses and repeat them 3 times, creating a sense of rhythm and tempo to the flow. Then we'll do two seated sequences, with slightly different variations of the poses in each.

Props needed: Two bricks or thick books, 2 blocks or thinner books, and a blanket to kneel on.

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

Duration: 9 minutes

Emphasis: If you're feeling stressed, anxious and/or overwhelmed you are not alone - the pace of modern life means we can all feel we're stretched to breaking point at times. Meditation can help you become a little more centred and feel clearer and calmer about what the day ahead may bring. Join me for this short class to pause amidst the busy-ness, check in with your body and pay attention to how it feels in the present moment, before turning your attention gently back to the day ahead.

Props needed: None required.

Mat direction: N/A.

Duration: 21 minutes

Emphasis:  Use a chair to help stretch your legs and your hips. In this class we'll do some variations of Warrior 1 (Virabhadrasana I), Warrior 2 (Virabhadrasana II), Hand to Big Toe Pose (Utthita Padangusthasana), and Pyramid Pose (Parsvottanasana). We'll then do an extra-deep hip opener before we do a variation of Side Angle Pose (Utthita Parsvakonasana) then we'll stretch out in a variation of Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) before relaxing with legs up on the seat of the chair.

Props needed: A chair!

Mat direction: Having your mat and chair slightly at an angle to the screen will give you the best view.

Duration: 21 minutes

Emphasis:  Been sitting on the sofa for a while? It's time to slide off onto the floor and let the sofa help you do a little yoga. In this class we'll practise Staff Pose with Raised Hands (Urdhva Hasta Dandasana), some side bends, twists and forward bends including Wide Legged Seated Forward Bend (Upavista Konasana). We'll practice Bound Angle Pose (Baddha Konasana) both sitting upright, allowing the sofa to make this pose so much more easeful than usual, and lying down with the feet on the edge of the sofa before relaxing in a supported Savasana for a short while. Please note, I had some issues with background noise in this video so the volume may be a little low - apologies for that.

Props needed: A sofa!!

Mat direction: N/A

Duration: 25 minutes

Emphasis:  Stretch your body in this slow sequence of poses where we will use a bolster for support. You'll practice Hero Pose (Virasana) with a shoulder opener and a twist, a variation of Half Lord of the Fishes Pose (Ardha Matsyendrasana), Garland Pose (Malasana) seated on the bolster, a gentle reclining hip opener and the Stomach Twist (Jathara Parivartanasana) before resting in Savasana.

Props needed: If you don't have a bolster you'll need a yoga mat, blanket and pillow to make one and then either a second mat or another blanket if you are practising on a hard floor. If you have knee issues you might want a second pillow to make the bolster bigger or have a block to make the bolster higher so you have more space in your knees.

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