One more thing:

If you’ve noticed, the location in this week’s video is, again, WAY different than the tropical backgrounds I usually film in.  

This past winter, I was in New Jersey spending time with family but didn’t want to stop producing videos…

The space I could find in a pinch was in the basement.  

The lighting isn’t ideal; but you can see me clearly.
The walls aren’t beautiful; but you can find beauty in the flow.

I did what I could with what I had.  

A space,
my mat,
my blocks,
and my socks. (It was cold, ya’ll!) 

And honestly, that’s all we really need to have a fulfilling yoga practice.  💜

Enjoy the flow despite the not-so-beautifully designed background
(but thanks AI for a pretty lamp & plant)

Try to focus on you and your breath as we move through this wonderfully calming flow that helps create a sense of stability and oneness with yourself.  

Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful practice we call yoga with me. 

Happy yoga-ing!

❤️🙏❤️

Gentle Yoga for Period Cramps

Gentle Yoga for Period Cramps

Feeling crampy?

And don’t want the hassle of getting on the floor or bending over?

But want to move your body with as little effort as possible to ease the pain?

I’ve got you covered with gentle movements designed to alleviate your discomfort.


When those cramps and persistent lower back pain kick in, the thought of lying flat or bending over can be daunting.

This gentle yoga for period cramps practice focuses on torso and leg movements that promote better circulation and encourage your internal organs to work more efficiently.

Plus, I get that energy levels can dip during those first couple of days, so using your arms is optional.

The best part?

It’s designed to be fully adaptable to your comfort level.
You can perform it on a chair, your couch, or even your bed


🎧 Heads up, everyone!
My trusty mic is on vacation, so I’m using my earbuds for now, resulting in slightly tinny audio quality. Most noise has been edited and there was an attempt to reduce the canine contributions
(cue “Dogs Barking”⚠️).
Thanks for your patience as I work to restore my audio quality.
In the meantime, let’s embrace these quirks and focus on enjoying the practice!

Inversion Free Opt. & Wrist Friendly

Need to warm up or cool down?
Or maybe you need a refresh for your body to get your focus back…
Or maybe you’re just feeling like a gentle, self-love stretch session…

I hear ya!

I don’t know about you but my back and hamstrings are almost always in dire need of
some self-love stretching.
These simple but effective stretches incorporate these areas perfectly without too much effort
PLUS
10 minutes is a sweet spot for stretching;
It’s just enough time to provide a gentle opening.

🖐 Wrist Friendly ?? There are no poses where there’s a lot of weight on the wrists, however, there is gripping and grabbing. So if you have tender wrists or hands, be gentle with them.

✨ Inversion Free ?? If you are inversion free — make sure when we lie down, that you prop so your head is the highest point as I did not perform this practice that way.


DETAILS:

👉 No props needed, unless you want ‘em.
🌟 Good for ALL Levels.
✨ Inversion Free means no downward facing dog, no head stand, no poses where the head goes below the heart. Great for those with glaucoma, cardiac issues, vertigo, acid reflux, or if you just don’t like going upside down.


Enjoy! Be well. 
Remember to breathe.
