Testing Your Boundaries tests your balance, strength, flexibility, endurance, AND your mind body connection.
This explores playing between easy & hard and finding your greatest potential. Notice what your mind thinks compared to what your body can do. The saying “Mind Over Matter” applies here.
Do your best not push beyond what you can handle, instead, bring yourself right up to it and take notice of what comes up emotionally and mentally.
Come back to this practice often to see how your boundaries change over time.

Then do Yoga in Your Chair. (I won’t tell your boss ????)
This 11 min flow only requires you, me, and your stationary chair for back, neck, and hip pain relief.
When working at your desk, there’s a tendency to fold forward causing tension and pain in the back, neck, and hips—Especially if the ergonomics are off.
This Hatha style yoga class moves through poses to ease those aches & pains to refresh your mind & body.
Pop in your earbuds, kick off your shoes, and let’s get refreshed!
Chair Without Wheels
(If you only have a rolly chair, do your best not to roll away!)
NONE!
Balance can feel elusive…one second you have it aaand then you don’t.
Back and forth we go.
The good news?
We can create the feeling of equilibrium practicing lots of balances, sharpening our mental focus since distractions will knock us down.
One thing we can do to help minimize the elusiveness is to work on our concentration and
our core strength in the physical balances.
This full practice is chock full of core work to prep for Standing Split, Warrior 3, and Half Moon Balance.
PLUS—this practice also strikes a balance between strength and flexibility;
both physically and mentally,
providing equal attention to all parts of the body.

Back bends have this magical power to open the heart center.
Why would you want to open that?
If you’ve got a case of the blahs or feeling low energy, asanas that stretch the chest area and move the spine around help to move the stagnant energy out of those areas to bring in fresh new energy ultimately lifting us up; energetically, emotionally, and physically.
Sounds nice, right?
Physically speaking, this practice will help strength, flexibility, and mobility of the
spine and back muscles.
We’ll play with Lord of the Dance, Locust, Bow Pose and a few other luscious back bends.
Twists are used to neutralize, mobilize, and release tension through the back. Plus twists just feel good!
