Vinyasa Flow
  • Sun Salutations and Squats

    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...

  • No-hands Flow

    This is a Sun Salutation-based class with a bit of a difference - there are no poses where you need to bear weight on your hands. All the same movements of the Sun Salutations are there but are no Downward Facing Dogs, no Planks, no Cat or Cow or pushing up from the floor so it's perfect if you'v...

  • Plank Party

    Usually when we do a Sun Salutation we don't hold the Plank Pose (Phalakasana) for very long before lowering to the ground. This is perfectly fine, especially if your wrists don't really like Plank, but it doesn't help to build your strength and endurance. In this Sun Salutation class you'll hold...

  • Camels and Pyramids

    This class features, yes you've guessed it, Camel Pose (Ustrasana) and Pyramid Pose (Parsvottanasana). There's a warm-up, a slow Sun Salutation A, then the next two rounds feature, Camel Pose, Cat Pose (Marjaryasana) and a Pyramid Pose variation. A supine sequence will stretch you out before Sava...

  • No-Hands Flow To Strengthen The Legs

    Having received good feedback from previous 'No-Hands' flow classes I decided to do another. This one will focus on standing poses and will strengthen your legs - with a few side bends and forward bends too. Expect an energising warm-up, two Vinyasa Flows where your hands don't touch the ground a...

  • Sun Salutation Building Up To Surya Namaskar C

    This class is all about Sun Salutations. They're done at a slow and steady pace and are a great way to move your joints, get your heart rate up, your circulation going and use lots of your muscles. You'll start with just the Forward Fold (Uttanasana) and then repeat it adding in the lunge (Ashwa ...

  • Hip Stretch Flow

    You'll get all the benefits and structure of a full class but in less than half the time with this one! There's a seated sequence and a slow Sun Salutation to warm you up then three Sun Salutations that include Half Chair Pose (Ardha Utkatasana), Pigeon Pose (Eka Pada Rajkapotasana) (with option ...

  • Steady Grounding Flow

    Expect 6 rounds of Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar A) in this Vinayasa Flow class that has a focus on rooting down into the ground for stability and steadiness. Starting with a modified round, you'll then have the option to add in Plank Pose (Phalakasana) and Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana) in the next...

  • No-Hands Flow

    In this flow class you'll only be putting weight into your hands in one optional Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) so it's a good practice to do if your wrists are sore and/or you're not weight-bearing on your hands at the moment. There are lots of standing poses, then there's a sequence...

  • A Flow Practice To Stretch The Fronts Of Your Thighs

    This vinyasa flow class has a focus on stretching the thighs. In both sequences you'll do poses such as Crescent Moon Pose (Anjaneyasana) and Lizard Pose (Uttan Pristhasana) and reaching back to catch the foot to stretch deeper in poses such as Half Frog Pose (Ardha Bekhasana), Standing Quad Stre...

  • Bridge Pose Flow

    This Vinyasa Flow class takes you through repetitive sequences featuring Candle Pose (Prapidasana), variations of Both Big Toe Pose (Ubhayya Padanghustasana), variations of Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana) and Boat Pose (Navasana). These poses get progressively more challenging with each round but y...

  • Knee-Friendly Flow

    If you find kneeling a challenge then why not try this variation on a vinyasa flow class? There's no kneeling and even dropping to your knees from Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) to Sphynx Pose (Salamba Bhujangasana) can be adapted. Expect the familiar poses that you find in a flow cla...

  • Vinyasa Flow for Shoulders and Chest

    In this flow class there's a focus on retracting the shoulder blades. This action of pulling them in towards the spine will not only help with shoulder blade mobility but also have the action of stretching the chest area too. Expect poses such as Humble Warrior Pose (Baddha Virabhadrasana), Snake...

  • All-round Vinyasa Flow Class

    Enjoy this flow class which, after a warm-up, offers two sequences - one kneeling and one standing - with similar movements. You'll do a spinal rotation, an upward stretch, a balancing pose, a forward bend and a side bend. Some supine stretches and a relaxing Savasana complete the practice.

    Prop...

  • Side Lunge (Skandasana) Flow

    In this short class you'll practise three Sun Salutations - one to warm-up and then two which include Side Lunge (Skandasana) to stretch the backs of the legs, the hip joints, knee joints and the ankle joints.

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

  • Vinyasa Flow for Shoulder Blade Mobility

    Free up your shoulder blades and help relieve stiffness and tension in your upper back in this Sun Salutation flow class.

  • Mandala Flow With Standing Balances

    This flow class takes you from one end of the mat to the other, repeating the poses as you go. In effect, you're going round in a circle - the mandala. You have to concentrate so this is a good class to do if your mind is feeling busy and scattered. Even though you'll only doing one round on each...

    After warming up with a round of Sun Salutation A, the following sequence includes a kneeling backbend Camel Pose (Ustrasana), some variations of Crescent Moon Pose (Anjaneyasana), an angled lunge with a side-stretch and Standing Splits (Urdhva Prasarita Eka Padasana). The next round moves from k...

  • Vinyasa Flow With Weights

    This class is a bit of a workout! After two rounds of Sun Salutations done the usual way, we'll pick up some hand weights (aka dumbbells) and add in some strength training. We'll do slow and steady repetitions of exercises such as squats, strict press and bicep curls - all focussed on strengthen...
