A 90 min Improvers flow that focus's on meeting all experience and emotion with acceptance. Recorded early Dec'18 on the run up towards the Christmas holidays in this yin yang practice we learn to take up residence in all parts of ourself and simply breathe into the experience. We learn to let go of expectation, trying to create a particular result or suppress a specific emotion, instead we acknowledge it all - the steadiness and the restlessness, the discontentment and the joy. For it is from this place we can rest into Grace, even if it is a little uncomfortable or chaotic around us! Perfect practice for the Holiday season!
Solstice Blessings My Friends! Here is my midsummer offering for you to help you take a scared pause and reflect on this cycle of light as we tip across the threshold in to the yin phase of the year - here in the northern hemisphere, at least.

A 30 min grounding practice that will pacify and reduce the Vata dosha. In the Autum we accumulate the cold, damp, light qualities that canlead to imbalances in our body mind. We might feel it in the drying of our skin and hair, aggravated arthritis and IBS, agitated fast mind and feelings of anxiousness. This practice aims to move at a slow steady pace and provide balance, stability and clear steady focus to pacify this seasonal tendancy. Enjoy!

In this intermediate 90 min class we work with heart liberating back bends and the courageous energy of Kali. Fearlessly going into the dark space at the back of the heart to undo the knots and unravel the binds that hold us back from living our lives to the fullest. Big thanks to my teacher, Sianna Sherman, for the Vira Namaskar sequence!
As requested from Therapy Thursday on my Facebook Page - Blue Lotus Yoga with Jill Amison - Here is an 18 min restorative yoga nidra. Perfect to use pre-bedtime to relax, after work so you can move into home time de-stressed or perhaps even during a flight when travelling. Ensure you retreat to a silent space where you won't be disturbed and are warm and comfortable. Enjoy!
This 80 minute class was recorded at the Beginners Flow at the beginning of Maha Navratri. This festival that celebrates the Goddess is a festival of nine nights: the first 3 nights in reverence to Durga, then days 4-6 Sri Lakshmi and days 7-9 Saraswati. As the festival had just begun, this class celebrates Durga. She who helps us overcome fear and doubt by reconnecting to our courage, tenacity and fearless hearts. Step up with her battle cry - 'YES, I CAN' Enjoy
