60 Minute Playful Vinyasa Flow for Balance & Coordination
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- This is a 60 minute playful vinyasa flow class focussed on improving your balance and coordination. Class begins by warming your shoulders, wrists, spine and hips with some whole body movement, connecting to your core and cultivating a spacious awareness of your body. Class then weaves some creative and accessible balance into the flow. Practice swimming your arms and gaze in your lunge, experiment with one foot balances keeping your centre of gravity low, balance on just your toes in a squat and play with boat with a bind. If you're feeling steady, progress with some optional arm balances - Kakasana and Eka Pada Koundinyasana. Complete your practice, releasing your shoulders, hips and re-aligning your spine before resting back in Shavasana or seated meditation.
Practicing your balance improves your concentration and coordination, helping you to stand and walk with better posture and spacial awareness. When we practice....wobbling and refreshing our balance moment to moment we not only bring our flesh and muscles into alignment but also our nerve impulses, thoughts and emotions. This can instil a deep feeling of calm as all our attention and energy is focussed.
This class was filmed at Wilsons Promontory National Park on Norman Beach.

Wow Wow Wow! This was magnificent! So loved the sound of the beach, seeing the blue sky, puffy white clouds. Loved this practice , the balances, the breath work…I tried to breathe with the ocean! So nice. I am very grateful ! Thank you so much🥰🙏❤️
This is my favourite place to visit. Beautiful national park at Wilson’s promontory x so happy you enjoyed it Martha x thank you so much 🙏❤️
Hi Fiona, I’ve become a dedicated fan of your classes. I’m writing from NYC. Last year, I started my health journey very overweight, but I’ve now made yoga a daily practice (116 days so far!). Your slow flow style and super mellow, soothing voice helps me remember to breathe through it (even off the mat). Thanks for your awesome videos!
Thank you so much Brittany! So wonderful to hear your message. Well done on keeping up such a regular practice and so good you’re feeling the benefits on and off the mat. Thanks for being a fan! So grateful xx 🙏
Lovely breath and balance focused practiced and lovely change of scenery. Thank you Fiona. ❣
Thanks so much Carol! Love that you enjoyed the view. So many march flies while practicing. I had to re start filming after getting some deet! ❤️🙏
What a gorgeous spot! I love this practice--especially "humble flamingo" and the arm balances. Thanks Fiona!
Yes, it’s an absolutely stunning national park. Can’t believe it’s already a year ago I was here filming. Great you loved it. Just published my new class. Hope you love it. Lots of balance n flow :-) 🙏❤️

Thank you so much Ivy! Really kind of you to say. Glad you enjoyed it. A learning experience for me…. I got eaten alive by March flies! Haha. X 🙏❤️
Excellent lesson, fruitful & puzzling, we loved it! The sideways Crow is an enigma for me still, but within due time it'll come to me...strange, because the straight Crow is comfortable to me...hmhm. So, thank you so much for your magnificent work, -even a more beautiful than your hall, out there on the beach!
Thank you Markus. This is one of my favourite places to camp, surf and hike.
Loved the waves music ,espically as is cold and rainy here in my part of the world !
Always nice to have a view huh?! This is one of my favourite beaches. Wilson’s promontory national park. Glad you enjoyed the practice Susie x thank you ❤️🙏
Felt the need for play and the sounds of the Beach ! At Wilson’s Promentory? So amazingly beautiful! Loved this and I’m keeping it on speed dial!
Thank you so much! Namaste!❤️🥰🙏🧘🏻♀️
Lol… speed dial. Wilson’s promontory yes. A few hours from home. Paradise. Amazing hiking, surf, camping and yoga :-) love that you loved it x thank you martha 🙏❤️
i was out of my yoga for a while, but im happy to be back with this wonderful flow xxx crazy how i forgot how healing yoga is...
Welcome back!! Sometimes a little break helps us appreciate our practice when more as you say. 🙏❤️
Good morning Fiona dear! We LOVED LOVED LOVED this amazing routine! Those high lunge arm forward and back moves were real heat builders and balancing challengers! What an amazing setting for this beautiful practice! You brought light and fun to our day! The sounds of the waves and wind in the back ground was so calming! Thank you again for sharing your talent and passion with the world! Big hugs to Stella and Ralphie.
Woo hoo, I’m so glad you had the opportunity to practice this one. I just love this national park! So happy you shared it with me! Thanks Theresa.... another spot to pop on your bucket list when you travel here x
@@TwoBirdsYoga Thank you for the heads-up on what to add to the travel plans! It does look so peaceful there!
I did this class again today and it was even more satisfying! I’m so grateful for it!
Grateful for your feedback and support 🙏
This is a divine yoga class. Period. ❤
Oh so lovely!! Thank you 🙏 great you enjoyed it
Beautiful backdrop, I felt like I was with you listening to the wavws. Great class, challenging arm balances!
Thanks for joining me here Annette! So great that was your experience... I haven’t done that final arm balance in so long! Was challenging for me :-) 🙏
Just beautiful! I loved the waves throughout the practice.
Wonderful! Thank you Virginia x
You must do all your classes in this setting. That was unreal. Hi, from British Columbia, Canada!
Oh I wish! If only that was my national park view every day Alisa!
WOW! This is an amazing session ... and not only because of the backdrop and the soundscape!
Wonderful! Thank you Catharina x I nearly gave up filming... so many March flies !! I literally sprayed my whole body in deet to make it through the class! That shine on my arms wasn’t sunscreen. Lol!
What a delightful change to the studio! And a great practice too. How do you keep everything so fresh? Must admit to some beach envy...
My daughter and I managed a coastal walk from Kingsand to Rame Head (Cornwall, England) the other day which was glorious. 🙏🏻☺️
Yes, the beaches at the prom are magnificent. Super white soft sand. Can get super windy! My daughters tent collapsed in 70 km winds one of the nights so we all crushed into the van! Just looked up your walk.love Cornwall. We spent some time there many years ago.
Super fun with the body and breath ever present. Loved this one too!
Yay! Thank you! Took two goes.. eaten by March flies round one. Great you enjoyed it Piper. One of my favourite places to be... wanted to share the view x
Just when I thought your classes couldn't get better. Add the sounds of the waves to your playlist selection!
Yay!! So soothing huh? Just love being by the water. And this place is truly stunning. Feels like you’re driving into the wild. 🙏
Lovely as usual! Love the music of the waves. Thank you for all you do 💐❣️
Oh I’m so glad you got to enjoy this class. It’s shot at one of my fav spots. Wilson’s promontory national park… with the sand flies!! Thanks Maria 🙏
Such a great practice, enjoyed it thoroughly Fiona, thank you so so much!!!
Great! I remember this one at the beach with the March flies!! Thank you! ❤️🙏
Well rounded safe practice. Great for Sunday morning. Instruction is clear. Thank you so much
Thank you so much! So great you enjoyed this flow. Shot at my favourite beach x 🙏
@@TwoBirdsYoga i forgot to mention the beach, and it was gorgeous
Enjoyed the waves of the flow and the waves of the ocean.
Beautiful to hear! I was so keen to shoot at this location... it’s just so wild and amazing. The video doesn’t do it justice. The best view is from the water!
Fabulous setting, great relaxing class. Thank you!
Thank you Geetesh :-) love this national park!
Wonderful flow... thanks!!!! I enjoyed it so much...💖🙏🌹🌹🌹
Great! Thank you lovely ❤️🙏
Thank you so much Fiona ! Feel so good! 🙌
You’re welcome Ebru xx
Thank you for the beautiful class and funny balancing poses. Also enviroment was very inspiring and relaxing, especially because I have snow behind my window:). It was also very nice that there was enough time for relaxation at the beginning of the class.
You’re very welcome Zane! This is one of my favourite places. Happy to share the view :-)
Thanks for the perfect practice especially background is superb
Thank you so much Lara! It’s one of my fav places in Victoria. So beautiful
What a beautiful relaxing spot hearing the ebb and flow of the water. The twist balance near the end of class was very challenging for me! Great class. Thanks
Thanks Esther! This is one of my favourite places. Was a beautiful morning too. Tricky balancing outside in wind and on sand though!
Loved every every single thing about this! x
Thanks lovely! X
Thank you for another beautiful practice! your class + sound of the waves are pure healing.
You’re so very welcome x
Still in lockdown here, so no beach for me but loved hearing your waves and the practice. A lovely relaxed flow and yet I was building intense heat. Thank you.
Oh my goodness! How are you fairing? Hang in there! Great you enjoyed the class Paul! Glad you took this one.... not one pilates move :-)
@@TwoBirdsYoga we're all good, but I am missing the sea, there's a 5km limit to movement, schools have reopened this week, that's about it since Christmas. But it's a step in the right direction. I take classes with an Irish instructor and she gets you to internally squeeze everything on the outbreath which I always do now but her classes have small movements and it's enough to start the sweats so when I do it in your classes I end up very hot but not in a bad way.
We had that 5 km rule too. Tough! Good to hear schools have reopened. It feels like it’s such an essential for kids, teachers and parents!
I absolutely loved it. The sound of the waves is so relaxing. What a great practice - thank you.
Thank you Petra! So great you loved this class! I just love this beach . It’s so vast and stunning. Thanks for joining me here x
This could not have been more perfect. So wish I could enjoy this practice on the beach with the sun shining and waves crashing in the distance. Very calming!
Yay!! That’s great. It’s such a beautiful spot. The best view from the water but no pontoons!! Haha. Thanks Vikram :-) hope you and your pooch jelly keeping well? 🙏
The sound of your voice with the sound of the ocean was magical! What a wonderful practice, too! Thank you.
Thank you so much Barbara x I hope you’ve been keeping well? Appreciate your feedback 🙏
It was such a lovely class. Wonderful. Thank you Fiona.
Great! Thank you. I got eaten alive by March flies when shooting this! Haha 🙏
@@TwoBirdsYoga oh no :D I'm glad you survived it!
I could almost smell the salt, the heat, and the sand! Thank you for bringing me to the beach! This practice was a bit hard on my knees so I had to modify quite a bit. Thank you for sharing your beautiful practice. 😃
Oh I had to share this beautiful place with you all :-) definitely a stronger style of class. Glad you were able to modify... the high lunges can always be done as a low lunge with blanket x
Thank you for this awesome flow!
You’re so welcome! Thanks for your feedback 🙏
This class was what I had in mind! Fun, playful but soothing and centering. Thank you for this! It was a pleasure!
Oh!! I just noticed your comment x great you found this one... I sequenced it with you in mind x
You had me tied up like a pretzel! I started laughing! Great one, Fiona. The meditation at the end with the waves- beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Haha! Even harder practicing on the beach with March flies! Great you loved the class Mark. Thanks for joining me 🙏
Great class, as always. Your generosity makes a difference for the better in this challenging times. Million of thanks!
Thank you so much! And your feedback makes it all worthwhile :-) 🙏
Thank you, Fiona! I’ve loved practicing yoga with you!
Awesome! Thank you Heather. Lovely to have you join me here :-)
I am so happy to be home and back in my practice! This was so much fun! Tough after not doing yoga for a bit but fun. Thank you so much Fiona! That beach is beautiful 🙏
Thank you lovely and welcome home!
Thank you!!
Beautiful scenic, thnx a lot - dont know how u do those balancing moves, it’s incredible🤗
Thank you! Great you enjoyed class. I overlooked how tricky it would be trying to balance on sand! Lol! And the match flies were relentless. Had to cover myself in deet and managed to glue myself to my mat!
@@TwoBirdsYoga haha, no one noticed if u were struggeling☺️
Im still having difficulties with the craw, used the time on excersising on that. Ill try to picture it to u when i once succeed🤗🤗
Have you watched this tutorial on the pose? You can try it with your feet on a block too :-)

Is it a long journey from your base to the promontory?
Just 2.5 hours along the coast :-)
❤️
Yay! Great you loved it Piper. Can’t wait to get back to my fav beach x
💕🙏
That lovely beach :-) love it there. It’s where I surf 😊❤️🙏
@TwoBirdsYoga the view and sound were lovely. I imagine that practising in the beach sand isn't easy for balance. Have a lovely sunny weekend Fiona 🙏
After Pyramide pose. You stand an one feed. How call this pose?
