Apparently 10 different Vinyasas is too many- maybe for the algorithm, maybe for our frazzled attention deficient brains.. who knows 🤪 I’m posting 10 regardless so enjoy the ride 😃✨
The Spinal Waves Level 1 & 2
Where you’re likely to find them?
Mellow flow classes, Steady Yoga, Mandala Vinyasa
Why we love these…
Spinal articulation is a skill and it requires practice! They build awareness, awaken muscles, mobilise joints & feel amazing!
Good to know..
These can be used as an alternative to any Vinyasa in any class
Ashtanga Namaskār
Where you’re likely to find them?
Hatha classes, Hot Yoga sequences or in classes with a backbend focus (Rocket sometimes)
Why we love these…
The extra back extension & low cobra in these offers a great antidote to sitting all day, awakening the back muscles.

Modified Chaturanga Dandasana into Bhujangasana (Cobra pose)
Where you’re likely to find them?
Vinyasa & Rocket
Why we love these…

Where you’re likely to find them?
Vinyasa & Rocket
Why we love these…
Up-dog with the thighs lifted levels up the role of your thighs and your core in your Vinyasas- 🔥 LIT!
Good to know..
On the days where jumping into Chaturanga just feels too much (IYKYK) then focus on stepping back and lowering in one action for a more graceful flow!
< Jump back into > Chaturanga Dandasana into Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward Dog)
Where you’re likely to find them?
Vinyasa & Rocket
Why we love these…
Once you’re ready to land in Chaturanga these really help you to start to understand weight distribution (chest forward- feet back) which can help us in our arm balances.
Good to know.. at first it’ll land heavy, that’s ok, but in
