Connecting to Center // Core Vinyasa Yoga ☀️🧘🏼‍♀️

a gentle vinyasa yoga practice with a focus on twists and core cultivation

These last few weeks I’ve felt like my attention has been scattered in a thousand different directions. Like the scattering of seeds, we cast our intentions out into the surrounding soil. We wait, we see what sprouts, we direct intention to the seedlings that take root. We return to a cultivation of the innermost self, the anchor, the core. And from there we dance between interior and exterior.

Physically, this is a practice of slowing down, strengthening the core, and twisting/radiating from there. It includes the following:

  • 6-minute centering meditation

  • radiating stretches on back/seated

  • agni namaskar (fire salutation, gentle variation)

  • core work

  • twisting variations of

    • uttanasana (standing forward fold)

    • tip toe pose

    • low lunge

  • hamstring and shoulder opening

  • marichyasana (sage’s twist)

  • baddha konasana (hip opening)

  • kapalabhati pranayama (skull shining breath)

  • savanna (final relaxation)

Hope you enjoy!
