Welcome to Practice! Yoga practice gives us profound tools and capacities in our lives. It’s hard to practice something that we don’t understand the value of; knowing what’s important to us is important. Online yoga classes give us the best of both worlds: guidance from someone experienced in the work, and the freedom to adjust what's being offered to suit our personal practice. We do our own work on our own mats with the acknowledgment that we’re not doing it alone (nor could we!). The result is that we feel more connected—both to ourselves and to one another. In a world where we can be surrounded all around by others and still feel lonely, connection matters. Connection to community matters. In the process we come up against our hard edges, and with support we find ways to still remain open… even when it’s hard. Even when it feels impossible. Everything that we do has to do with our attention. Where do we start? We start where we are. My aim for this platform is to foster a community of practitioners who care for and support one another—even across the Net. I make the assumption that you're here to learn. I teach in that way. I'm not here to give you a "basic" facilitation class (though I see the value in classes like that, too!). I'm here to teach you how to practice. Teaching is a skill. It's a skill I've honed through 11 years of doing it and five years of teaching others how to do it. It's a skill I've honed in my graduate studies in pedagogy (the theory and practice of learning, and how this process influences, and is influenced by, the social, political and psychological development of learners). And it's a skill I use every day with my toddler! In the end it's not about the postures themselves; it's about what arises as we endeavor to learn them. Yoga is not a work-out; it is a work-in. Welcome. Engage. Ask questions. Leave comments. Share your experience. I’m here for you. ~Brooke ******************************** "The success of yoga does not lie in the ability to perform postures but in how it positively changes the way we live our life and our relationships." TKV Desikachar “You must hold the balance by the intelligence of the body… When you keep the balance by strength, it is physical action; when you keep it by the intelligence of the body, it is relaxation in action.” B.K.S. Iyengar

Inversions: Endurance Focus

36m

Whether you’ve just started kicking up to Handstand and Forearm Balance or whether you’ve been able to kick up for some time, challenging your endurance with timed holds in these postures is a wise component to add to your regular practice. It’s amazing how long one minute feels when you’re balancing on your hands!

Pre-requisites for this class are that you can either do Half-Handstand or kick up to full Handstand; and you can either kick up to Forearm Balance with good alignment or you know an alternative that you can practice instead (Dolphin Pose comes to mind here).

After inverting, we get on our backs to work reclined individual leg stretching. This short practice is hard work, but worth repeating over and over. Enjoy!
