Come join in this 60 minute yoga class developed to nourish your body and mind through the practice of working with intentions. Being thoughtful about how we use our attention during our yoga is a practice that we can work with and cultivate. We may decide to work with an alignment intention (such as deepening the hip creases) or an emotional/ cognitive intention (noticing the breath, noticing ease).
This is a full body practice with an emphasis on working with a self-guided intention that nourishes your own needs.
Optional props: yoga mat, blanket or towel, strap (dog leash/ karate belt), block
Trina Mann is a physical therapist who specializes working with people who have Parkinson's in Northern California! She is also a 200hour R-yoga teacher! She teaches a weekly yoga class in her community, and we are fortunate enough to be able to join the class live through zoom or utilize these recordings!
This wonderful yoga class is more of a gentle, restorative yoga class with a focus on kindness to our body, breath and body awareness. I highly recommend you try it!

Remember - modify as needed. Don't do anything that doesn't feel safe. Use support as needed during standing exercises and use a chair for getting down on the ground and back up if you need it!
