This class features a slow and steady standing flow sequence where there's no weight-bearing on your hands. You'll get the feeling of a Sun Salutation flow as you'll move the body in a similar way but the only time you'll put any weight on your hands/wrists is when you transition from the standi...

This workout is done without weights - it just uses your body weight to strengthen your muscles and bones. It follows the usual format of 3 sets of exercises, each consisting of one for the upper body and one for the lower body, repeated 3 times.
Props needed: A yoga block or thick hardback book ...

Here are a few stretches you can do while sitting on the sofa - no need to get changed or roll out your mat, just make the best use of the time you have - especially if you've been there a while watching TV! You can follow along with me or just scroll through it quickly to get the idea and try o...

Here's another workout with resistance bands to improve your strength. It follows the usual format - 3 sets of exercises comprising one for the upper body repeated 3 times and one for the lower body repeated 3 times. You'll also need two yoga blocks or hardback books to step up onto.

This strength workout follows the usual format - 3 upper body exercises, 3 lower body exercises, 8 repetitions of each, done 3 times. It's quick, effective and you'll feel strong and empowered when you're done. You'll just need your heavy and light mini resistance bands and a chair.

In this class you'll repeat 5 rounds of the same movement pattern of gentle backbend, side bend, twist and forward bend. The repetition and rhythm are helpful if your mind is feeling busy and scattered as you know what's coming next and can focus more on your breath and the sensations in the bod...

This class offers a sequence repeated three times - once as yoga poses only, the second adds in a yoga brick and the third is done with a dumbbell/hand weight. All three sequences focus on balance and strengthening and stretching the triceps muscles at the back of the upper arms. You can repeat...

There's no weight-bearing on the hands in this class, so it's a good one to do if you have a wrist or hand injury. Short and sweet, you'll get some balancing, some squats (if your knees don't like Candle Pose (Prapidasana) sit on your two blocks to take the weight off them), and a seated twist.
P...

This workout will focus on strengthening the buttocks (glutes), hips and outer thighs (abductor muscles) and a bit for the inner thighs (adductor muscles) and, in the upper body it will strengthen the upper, mid and sides of the back (trapezius and latissimus dorsi) plus the upper arms.

In this Weights Workout you'll need ... a casserole dish or, as I'm using here, a heavy pan... It's a bit novel but it works and you won't have to buy any expensive equipment. Expect the usual format of 6 different exercises with (usually) 8 repetitions, which are done 3 times to give you a comp...

This is a seated sequence to help release a stiff, tight upper back, bringing it more mobility and, I hope, a sense of relief and release. The practice can be done seated on either the floor or a chair. You'll need a block for the final supine backbend and might need another one to put under you...

Open your arms and stretch the upper chest in this flow practice. After warming up with a seated sequence, you'll move to a slow Sun Salutation A, followed by a sequence of standing poses with straight, open arms. Then it's back to the floor for some more seated poses before a relaxing Savasana.

Two rounds of a Sun Salutation based flow that stays quite low to the ground. Poses include Gate Pose (Parighasana), Crescent Moon Pose (Anjaneyasana), Pyramid Pose (Parsvottanasana) and Triangle Pose (Trikonasana), followed by a seated sequence that includes Head To Knee Pose (Janu Sirsasana) an...

Welcome to another strength-based class, this time done seated on a chair. This is useful if you're taking a break from your desk or are recovering from an injury. The usual format applies here - three sections featuring an exercise for the upper body and an exercise for the lower body, with 8 r...

As the title suggests, this class focusses on your hands. Practise these exercises often to keep your fingers mobile, improve your grip strength (so you can open that jam jar!) and then stretch everything out afterwards. You'll need a bit of wall space plus a strong medium sized elastic band for...

This workout uses light weights. I'm using two filled water bottles weighing 1kg each. If you have them you can use dumbbells but don't go too heavy for this first of our new workout series, especially if you've not done any strength training before. You'll do a warm-up, then 6 different exercis...
