45 Minute Vinyasa Yoga Practice - Get Spacious, Get Joyous

This is a well-rounded, little-bit-of-everything kind of practice. The pace is conscientious, giving us room to refine our movements, to deepen our breath, and to amplify our experience of each moment.

This practice gives you freedom to take the style of vinyasa that most suits your body today.

I wrote a blog post to accompany this video: "How to Cultivate More Joy in the Practice." You can read it here: http://www.leighabutleryoga.com/?p=262

BEGINNER-LEVEL PRACTITIONERS: I offer beginner variations for each asana, and then I offer chances to deepen if you wish to. If your body wouldn't mind taking on the challenge, then take it deeper; but if you're pain signals are firing, or if you're feeling stressed in the practice, then find a way to make yourself reasonably comfortable! Skip any vinyasas you need to. Do not feel discouraged if you can't yet do every stage of each asana. There is no finish line: the trick is to know you've already crossed it. You've already arrived. So take in the fresh air and enjoy!

INTERMEDIATE & ADVANCED LEVEL PRACTITIONERS: Take your practice where it wants to go. I suspect there will be some who deem this practice too slow (or, ackk, too "boring"). I hope you'll find a way to love every nuanced little moment of the session, and I hope that extends into every nuanced little moment of your life.

I get the feedback a lot that you'd like to hear some soft music along with my video. Because of licensing issues, I can't run a track along with my video, but I CAN point you to a couple of Spotify playlists that would go well to this video. These are the playlists I use in my classes. My user name on Spotify is Leigha Butler. If you find me, look for the playlists called either, "Fluidity," "Earth," "Smile," or "Breathe." They meet the tone and intention of this class.

Thank you as always for watching. Comment to let me know what you'd like to see.

Joy!

Song: Coulibaly, by Amadou & Mariam

How to find happiness?

Dance.

Was this not the advice you were looking for?

Maybe it should be.

Nothing's more freeing, more brilliant, more ecstatic than unshackling yourself from Mind and entering, instead, Body.

Dance...

like you'll be paid for every stomp and hip-shake.
like a thousand other dancers are with you.
like everyone else is bad at it too.
like you'll never dance again.
like you have no shame.
like no one's watching.
like an idiot.
like me.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"Starting my morning with this! Thank you for always graciously sharing your practice with us!!! I am in ♡ with your style & the challenges you allow me to try!!!!"

"I've started taking your classes and enjoying every moment of the practice in the early morning before heading out for work. Thank you very much. Namaste."

"I find your classes unique and inspiring, They leave me feeling the best version of me."

"I have been loving your classes. Thank you for making them."

"You have added sooo much to my practice that i had to thank you! your pace, instruction, sequencing and the space you allow is magical. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and work."

This beginner-friendly yin class offers 5 poses perfect for anyone who has to do a lot of sitting. It opens the shoulders and chest, frees the hip flexors, and opens the thoracic spine, quads, medial knee and the connective tissue encasing all of the above.

Did you know... Sitting in a chair shortens your psoas (deep hip flexor with serious emotional baggage) by about three inches? Sitting also weakens this essential muscle forcing it to overwork later. This class has the powerful effect of both lengthening and relaxing the psoas and its attachments, which has psycho-emotional rewards. Bottom line, if your psoas suffers, these openings are essential for you. You will feel better, longer, lighter and stronger, for realz.

A giant thank you to Sarah Carlson of Growing Films who provided the camera work.
