In this video I take you through the moon salutation which invites us to go inward and develop a cool calm energy. Many of us will have heard of the popular yoga sequence the Sun Salutation which rejuvenates the body and mind. So the Moon Salutation is the equal opposite and both sequences work on tone and strength too. The Moon Salutation has a sense of fluidity and softness which taps into our feminine energy. The sequence also includes the Goddess pose which evokes the Divine Feminine that exists within all of us whether we are male or female. There is a power within this energy which is often referred to in Sanskrit as Shakti. The Shakti power when accessed can unleash our intuition which is both creative and can inspire a force within us to move through darkness and connect to the source of our inner light.

In this video I take you through a yoga workout. We’ll hold each pose for 30 seconds before we move to the next pose. Note there is no voice over today therefore this video is for those who have practiced yoga before and aware of the alignment of each pose. It’s is a great flow sequence and a total body workout! Enjoy! P.S. Forgive the slight blur and Rakesh, my husband’s, feet poking through …. I didn’t even realise until I finished editing… whoops! :-)

In today's video I talk about a classic yoga pose; downward facing dog which is also known as Ardho Mukha Svanasana in Sanskrit. Downward dog is a great pose to stretch the entire body and it also really helps to improve circulation. It is also a great transition pose as you move through sequences. You'll also find that over time as you get comfortable with downward dog it will almost become a place to rest into inbetween other yoga poses. The video also includes a guided yoga sequence that is for intermediate yoga practitioners. For a beginners practice please see my previous video on child's pose.

In today’s video I am going to talk about one of the most basic yoga poses, child’s pose also known as Balasana. I’ll also take you through a yoga sequence where we will incorporate child’s pose with other yoga poses. Balasana is a great stretch for the spine and the shape of the pose replicates this idea of curling up into a ball. When life gets too much we can take comfort in child’s pose which allows ourselves a moment to close of the external world to come into ourselves and into the heart centre. Child’s pose also gives us the opportunity to return to that space of innocence and purity where we can take off all the layers that we’ve attached onto ourselves over the years to find the essence of who we are. This process allows to connect to our inner child and this may happen at a conscious level or a sub conscious level. As a child we are at our most vulnerable and our brain is developing according to the world around us. Certain things may happen in our childhood which can cause us to create habits, thoughts and patterns which may adversely affect us in adulthood. So when we come into childs pose we give ourselves the opportunity to heal, to let go of anything that does not serve us. When we are in that ball shape its like we are a child, we’re in the shape of a foetus. Then we come into the other yoga poses to open ourselves up again to the world. We then have a fresh new opportunity to grow. So what may seem a very simple pose is actually working at a deep intrinsic level. In today’s practice part of the video I will show you various different way that you can rest in child’s pose. The variations will also go through different support props that will aid you especially if you have tight ankles, knees and hips. So ensure you have a soft blanket, pillow and bolster if you have one to hand. If you don’t have a bolster you can use two or three cushions instead. I hope this information has given you clarity about the importance of child’s pose in our practice.

It's been a long time but I decided to get back in front of the camera and shoot a yoga video. I'll be honest after all the changes I've been through I did feel a bit nervous about doing this but once I started it felt great. I love to practice yoga and I love to share and teach yoga. So I hope you enjoy watching and following this video as much as I enjoyed creating it. This video is for those who have recently had a baby as well as anyone else who enjoys practicing yoga. Thank you to all those people who have encouraged me to post videos and I hope to share more with you again soon! Love Jaina x
