October 08 Class One.
A warming vinyasa flow class that emphasises continual movement to generate heat, detoxification and regulation of breath.
Please review the poses garudasana, pada angushtasasana and galavasana that are taken as part of the flow. We also practice full handstand and headstand in this class.
As we move into fall/autumn, it is an opportunity to look inwards, honour our families and be present.
Enjoy,
Claire Missingham

Calling all pregnant goddesses!
Mama Vinyasa TM is a style of flowing yoga devised and created by Claire Missingham in 2008.
Especially for pregnancy, this 20-min class is a flowing, graceful and grounding practice to enable you to feel gorgeous during your pregnancy. The session includes wide squats, cresent moon and horse stance, therefore, if you have any pelvic pain do not include these postures in this or any of your yoga practice for safety.
This class includes Mountain Goddess, which is a standing meditation on the strength and courage of all mamas out there!

Hello!
This is a quiet, music free, 10-minute meditation practice that focuses inwards on not only the breath but also the pulsation of prana from the core of the earth to core of the body. As we move towards Autumn, taking time to focus inwards is wonderful for continuing to feel vibrant and alive even with the darker evenings!
Warmness in abundance

In this class we put together the creative namaskar sequences into a full class flow, including the new Expansion/Retraction standing pose mala flow, and the Meditative Namaskar. These are followed by a seated vinyasa and then calming poses before a long, blissful relaxation to creative harmony and balance.

Jai Fire!
This Namaskar is all about connecting to the flame of the manipura chakra, of igniting strength from the core fire of the body, the essence of Shiva.
Within this namaskar, please refer to the Introduction to the Namaskars podcast as we use nearly all of the basics of the alignments from that post:
toward the end of the namaskar, you step one foot forward between the hands into LOW LUNGE, then 6 times the legs changing from low lunge to low lunge on the other side. Your aim here is to keep the hands on the earth in the tripod position, and elevate the hips as high as possible, almost to handstand. If you do this correctly your core will be on fire!
Get the fire burning…
all love and light

This Namaskar honours the goddess of abundance, Lakshmi. This is part of a series of creative namaskars that can be taken in a Vinyasa Flow Class, the aim is to move one movement, one breath, apart from Ustrasana which we hold for 5 breaths. Eventually, you begin to feel this is moving in a dance between breath and body.
Namaskaram! NEW MUSIC FOR YOGA CD OUT NOW…

Namaskaram!
Here are the fundamental foundations that are used in Claire Missingham’s original Namaskar Variations, in order to fulfill your potential within these sequences correctly, please ensure you have knowledge of the principles of alignment for the following:
- TADASANA (SEE ALIGNMENT FROM IYENGAR)
- EXCELLENT ALIGNMENT IN CHATURANGA, URDHVA MUKHA SVANASANA, ADHO MUKHA SVANASANA
- DIAGONAL PLANK POSE UTILIZING CORE CORRECTLY AND EFFECTIVELY (INC. BANDHAS)
- KNEE TO CHEST POSE IN DIAGONAL PLANK WITH CORE ACTIVATION FOR STEPPING LEG BETWEEN HANDS (i.e. don’t swing the leg from one leg dog, or bang the foot to the floor!)
- PRINCIPLES OF HIGH LUNGE WITH PARALLEL BACK FOOT HEEL RAISED (4 points of energetic alignment, shoulders open, back heel raised straight knee, front knee over front heel)
- PRINCIPLES OF LOW LUNGE (fingertips on floor in tripod position, chest open neck long, back leg straight parallel and extending back, hips low)
- BREATH, MOVEMENT AND INTENTION AS ONE
These first two Namaskars are simple Surya & Lunar variations.
