Ep 58 Gentle Yoga for Hips and Shoulders

07/18/15 • 76 min

Dear All,

Thanks for listening. I have recorded this class so I can offer you a really mellow, supported practice which will help to open your shoulders, heart area and your hips. We use some props like an extra rolled mat (or blanket will do nicely) for under the spine, a bolster (or cushion), and of course it's always good to have a blanket and an eye pillow too.

I'm in Spain now, teaching on a Yoga on a Shoestring holiday but I can still post some pics so if you get confused at all with any of the poses then please give me a shout on [email protected] to let me know and I'll take a picture and post it for you on the Yoga Community Podcast Facebook page.

This is a relaxed class with some standing poses to strengthen - we do triangle pose and palm tree pose to get you up and moving and get the energy flowing.

There are spaces on Yoga by Nature's next yoga retreat in Portugal 11th/12th - 19th Sept- it's going to be fabulous doing yoga in the beauty of Central Portugal's lush mountains. We will be staying in luxury teepee accommodation and doing yoga on the yoga platform under the oak trees or in the yoga yurt at the bottom of the garden next to the river. Join us for £500: http://www.bristolcommunityyoga.co.uk/event/one-week-yoga-retreat-gravito-portugal-11th-19th-sept-2015

Ep 57 20 mins Body Scan Meditation

Dear All,

This is a twenty minute meditation on the body. It's not strictly a relaxation but it is very relaxing! I often do this instead of having a nap as it's so refreshing and brings me right back into my body especially if I have been doing a lot of heady computer work.

Just lie down somewhere quiet and comfortable and enjoy it! You can do it seated if you like to do these sessions during your commute or during your lunchbreak, but lie down if possible.

Get in [email protected] my name is Morven Hamilton and you can find me in Bristol teaching at Bristol City Yoga, The Bristol Folk House, Penny Brohn, Totterdown Methodist Church and Arnos Vale Spielman Centre.

Find out more at www.bristolcommunityyoga.co.uk. Oh and there is also a free app! Sleep well be well yoga - you can find it on Amazon.

Lots of love,

Morven xx

Ep 59 10 mins Abdominal Breathing restorative session

Hi All,

This is a short and sweet breathing practice for you. Abdominal breathing is the simplest but most effective pranayama there is! Find a comfortable place where you can lie down undisturbed - you can always do it sitting up if you're on your commute, that's fine too.
