Yoga classes from my YouTube channel
These classes all have one thing in common: treating yourself kindly by looking after all parts of yourself. They follow their stated (mainly anatomical) themes, carefully warming up the body, working more dynamically, cooling down and finishing with a generous relaxation.

Befriending Backbends. Part 3: Shoulder blade flexibility and mobility.
Keeping the dorsal thoracic - the upper back - strong and flexible is such a benefit to our posture and the strength of our bones.
A further advantage is that we can experience more freedom when we do backbends as we avoid pinching the lower back, hunching the shoulders and making the neck cranky.
Here's a 75 minute all-round practice to create fluid movement in the shoulder blades, especially, and the whole body, as well.

Befriending Backbends Part 2: Strengthening the Glutes and Hamstrings
This 75 minute class is designed to wake up the muscles that make for easeful backbending poses. When the gluteus medius, minimus and hamstrings support an even arching of the spine, there is less stress and effort. You will get to enjoy more of the benefits of these valuable postures: stimulation of the nervous system, opening the lungs and correction of stooped posture.

Downward-Facing Dog Pose. Adho Mukha Svanasana: A closer look
'A dog pose a day keeps the chiropractor at bay', I wrote in my book, Teach Yourself Yoga'. Downward-facing dog pose combines shoulder, spine and leg stretch, like no other.
This is a beautiful practice that breaks the pose down so you can work on all anatomical parts: feet, calf and quad muscles, pelvis, should blades, neck and arms. After doing a few targeted exercises, putting all the bits in place, you'll find your pose will have improved.

Toes, Feet and Ankles: Improve flexibility and strength
To be able to move with ease and grace takes having pliable and strong foot joints. This video program offers a great warm-up of toes, feet and ankles that leads you into a standing pose practice.
Taking care of your feet is important at any age, but especially for older people as it supports good balance and a smooth gait.

Shoulder Blade Flexibility and Stability: Kindness to your upper back
Your shoulder blades and your dorsal thoracic spine are a sort of a mystery area because they can't be seen.
This is a lovely, mainly standing pose practice to help you feel and sense into your upper back so as to create relief in the neck and shoulders.
This 1:15 hr practice begins with live harp music and finishes with a visualisation on 'The Air We Breathe'.

Kindness for Your Feet: Standing Pose Practice II with long relaxation
This is a session that promotes mobility and strength from the ground up, from your feet to your head.
Our feet are our most humble servants, and for the most part do a beautiful and faithful job of helping us stand on our own two feet. They are deserving of special attention at times, and never more so than in the sort of yoga practice of the standing poses that is offered here.
