30 Minute 'Recovery Day' Yoga (Strong Body, Calm Mind Series Pt 8 - 04 Oct '23)

- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- This is a 30 minute 'recovery day' vinyasa flow class. Part 8 of the Strong Body, Calm Mind Series of classes. A complimentary class to help soothe tired, sore muscles & release tension. A head to toe post workout stretch. Incorporating flowing movements and some static & active stretches for all the major muscle groups. For practice, you may wish to have a block and a folded blanket, but you can practice along if you don’t have any props. I’ll guide you through.
This kind of practice is helpful in promoting longer term flexibility and ROM in your joints. It also increase blood flow around your body which naturally nudges the recovery process along post workout, offering your sore and tired muscles a natural analgestic, clearing inflammatory cells & improving lymphatic drainage.
By special request, this class has been shot at home with my dog, Ralphie.

What an innovative lesson today, rich in variants, thank you so much for it - & Ralphie's back! With him around, I couldn't complete any practice, what a marvellous compagnion he is, as always curious yet puzzled what the big deal is with this bending around on the mat, instead of kisses! ☺️❤️🙏🏻
It’s Ralphie just trying to fit in so he doesn’t get told to go back to his bed. 😊❤️🙏
I needed this today Fiona🙏 and I loved seeing Ralphie 🐕❤ Thankyou!
Wonderful to hear Patty! If only Ralphie knew how low key famous he is 😊❤️🙏
This class is exactly what I needed today after a hard workout. Perfect!
Great!! Just what is was made for. So happy it felt good for you Alicia ❤️🙏

Haha…thanks Priscilla x have a wonderful weekend ❤️🙏
Perfect to help get me started on a creaky stiff morning, thanks Fiona 🙏
Thanks Suzy ❤️🙏
Such a great rest day practice Fiona, really enjoyed this class, thank you do much 🙏❣️
Wonderful xx thanks so much ❤️🙏
This therapeutic practice was just what I needed this afternoon. I am a Ralphie fan as a member of the Big Dogs Club -- three Pyrenees and one near Pyr on our farm (and on our beds lol)
Oh my goodness!! That is a lot of dogs and a lot of dog :-) we’ve always had Great Danes and horses so I’m in your camp too. Ralphie is our smallest dog we’ve ever owned 😊❤️🙏
This was exactly what I needed, dogs included - though mine plays my legs (and arms, and torso) like weave poles. Sharing this with my yogi friends, thank you so much.
Hi Wendy :-) so happy to hear you enjoyed it. That’s Ralphie. He’s our rescue. He’s the most affectionate dog we’ve ever had. And so funny! I shot this class at home as a few yogis wanted to see his antics again :-) thanks for joining and recommending me ❤️🙏
Thank you Fiona & Ralphie. Good to see him back on the mat. However, we did not know that you did requests! We, therefore, request that you lead a yoga retreat. 😆 Really enjoyed this practice as a recovery from one of your "conditioning" classes. Namaste.
Haha! I’ve had a few similar requests. I used to many years ago. Ironically, the more experience I have sharing yoga, the less I feel I know or I know that what I know seems insufficient. Anyway, that’s where my head is at with retreats. It’s a confidence thing 😊🙏
We all have more to learn, but I think you under estimate your capabilities. We're happy to wait until your knowledge and confidence is boundless. In the meantime, we'll enjoy your "limited" skills and prowess online. @@TwoBirdsYoga
Thanks Fiona - the perfect practice to recover after a long run. 🙏🙏🙏
Great to hear Geetesh x thank you ❤️🙏
Hurrah!Just what I needed -- both the class and getting to see Ralphie again! Now that she's old, my dog is less playful, but like Ralphie she seems sure I'm on the floor for her. 😉 Your gentle classes like this have been so helpful as I recover from the appendectomy. Thank you and Ralphie for your good medicine❣🐶🙏
You’re so welcome Claire! For a long time during our lockdowns, our other dog, an elderly Great Dane watched on as I filmed at home. She would have joined in if she could but truely, you guys wouldn’t have been able to see me at all! Lol
Glad to hear your mending and you found this class x ❤️🙏
@@TwoBirdsYoga Ah, you need to post a photo of the two dogs together! 😃
Thanks!
