40 Minute Balancing Vinyasa ‘Dristhi’ (Pt 8 - On & Off the Mat Series 29 Nov '23)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- This is a 40 minute vinyasa flow. Part 8 of the On & Off the Mat Series where we explore how to integrate some of the concepts and principles contained in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. In this class, we explore Drishti and Ekagrata. It's a powerful intention setting class which pairs well with the clarity and focus that comes from practising balances.
Class opens with an explanation of Drishti in the context of intention setting and the practice of Ekagrata, sustaining all your attention and energy toward your chosen drishti or intention. Practice a telescope Tree Pose, warrior 3 and eagle pose as you flow through this practice.
For practice you may wish to have a blanket for comfort.

i have had the great fortune of practicing with you for a few years now, but I continue to be amazed by how transformed i feel after each class with you. endless gratitude and love for you Fiona! as another has commented, pure yogic brilliance :D also i adore the bell you use at the end of class- it is one of the most beautiful i've heard. I always want to hear more of it! 😍🔔🧡
Thank you for your beautiful message Tasha. I so love sharing the practice. I’m very grateful for your kind words. The little singing bowl is so lovely huh. A gentle awakening from rest. Have an awesome week ahead lovely ❤️🙏
I've never managed to catch one of your videos so close to when you uploaded it! Thank you for the community you have cultivated here, today I truly felt like I was practicing with community.
Aww that’s so nice!!! I’m so grateful for the community here too! My classes come out tues am if your in the USA or early wed if your Europe x thanks so much! ❤️🙏
Thank you Fiona. Another wonderful uplifting practice. Hope your holiday and catchup with your daughters is a joy! Look forward to hearing of your travels. Namaste.
Yay!! Almost there! Can’t wait. Thanks so much Mark. Have a calm lead up to Xmas and hope the sun comes out at some stage for you guys 😊🙏
A thoroughly relaxing concentric flow.
Thank you so much for your yogic brilliance.
Feeling great.
Have an amazing day, Take care, be well.
Eric😊✌❤🙏
Hope your day was great Eric? So happy to hear you enjoyed the flow. ❤️🙏
Thank you, that was a really directed practice for me. Right into my hips. There was some serious clunking in my left hip at the start. Loved all the balances. Today was a good day for them although telescope is not there yet. Beautiful wind down for shavasana where my monkey mind goes nuts. That's going to be my area of focus, allowing for a calmer and quieter space. Thank you for all that you do to help.
Thank you so much Paul! The hip circle can definitely encourage some joint noise. Glad you enjoyed it. There’s a ripper vin to yin out next week. Steady paced flow and rest in yin. Right up your alley 😊🙏
@@TwoBirdsYoga I have your 90 min vin to yin on my intention list for this weekend. It feels like I have been waiting ages to get to it.
Brilliant sequence, , thanks for sharing Namaste.
You're most welcome! Thank you ❤️🙏
Just what i needed before launching into a busy work day. Feeling calm and focussed. Thanks again Fiona! ❤
Wonderful Sophia. Great to hear ❤️🙏
You are such an amazing teacher. Thank you for this creative mindful practice. I am entering the day with intention.
Aww thank you! Hope your day went smooth Bethany? Take care ❤️🙏
What a wonderful and balancing way to start my weekend! Abundant gratitude Fiona! Thank you 🙏🙏
Have a wonderful weekend Janet ❤️🙏
Thank you very much for this lesson - so concentrated, the red string of the theme running through the whole, giving meaning to what follows it. Eagle, though...- the struggle is real, the door of the supporting hip is so difficult to keep closed! 😅 Telescope Tree...mammamia...!❤️🙏🏻
Hahaha. Love it. You can try place a block on the outside of standing leg to prop your toes on in eagle. You’ll feel supported and more able to sit hips low and concentrate on hugging the inner thighs. Telescope tree I found on instagram… it’s tricky huh? Thanks for your feedback Markus. You made me smile ❤️🙏
Great class with some challenging but good balancing poses. Thank you again for continuing to make great yoga videos. 💕🧘♀️ Shared support via pay pal.

Hi Fiona, I have been following your classes for a couple of years now and I really enjoy them. I have been recommending them to all my friends who are into yoga as I think you have that perfect balance between building strength and calmness, and I love how you guide us through with your inspirational voice. I have just sent you a small donation over Paypall to show support and appreciation for all the great work. Please keep going! Love from Belgium

Telescope!? Cheeky lady! Yes, I did try, and started to giggle😂....giggles are good. Will try again 😊
Hahaha. Good! It’s not quite as frustrating falling out of tree when we’re trying something silly that is also hugely helpful for balance 😊❤️🙏
As usual, absolutely wonderful and beautiful! 💖✨🪷 thank you!
Thank you Maria! You’re a star ❤️🙏

@@TwoBirdsYoga It wasn't so much the center of gravity as it was suddenly thinking, oh.this issupposed to be hard! That made me fall over, laugh, and keep going. Mind over matter! Always a pleasure to support great yoga content.
