What To Expect
Classes alternate weekly between:
Gentle Floor-Based Movement
A fully floor-based class focused on mobility, awareness and breath.
Gentle Movement With Optional Standing
Includes a short optional standing section or chair-based alternative.
The standing section is typically around 10–12 minutes.
I always open our Zoom space 15 minutes before the class begins, for those that would like connection and chat.
Moving Safely
One of the biggest challenges in recovery is finding the right amount of movement.
Too little movement can leave us feeling disconnected.
Too much movement can trigger post-exertional malaise.
This class helps you explore movement safely, with options, modifications and plenty of opportunities to rest.
What you'll need to practice
Find somewhere comfortable and warm to practice, where you won’t be disturbed. I tend to stack 2 yoga mats for comfort during movement practices.
Prop list
Props vary for this class - I will always let you know in advance if you need anything beyond the following:
A support to sit comfortably, such as : A block, cushion or bolster
A blanket
A chair if you prefer sitting to standing
Props to support you in savasana, including an eye cover (or lightweight scarf)
