Guided meditations and breathing practices to use on their own, or add to a playlist for your own yoga soundtrack.
This rapid nostril breathing can be a great way to free up space in the diaphragm. Also known as breath of fire or skull shining breath, it is best practised in the morning, and becomes more beneficial the more familiar it feels.
My voice guiding us in to our bodies, so we can feel familiar with the unchanging place within. A moment to pause before closing, as we begin our day.
My voice guiding you to your feet, then we pause silently together. This works well before music you enjoy moving your whole body to.
My voice welcoming you in to the day, inviting sama vritti pranayama (equal part breathing) to a slow count in and out for 4. Then some silence. This track then can lead on to some gentle flowing music, that feel good to start some movement of the upper part of the body.
Follow this guided breathing practice to soothe and rest the nervous system. We start by breathing in for 4 and out for 4 and the exhale gradually gets longer until it is twice as long as the breath in. I hope you enjoy!
A meditation practice to come home to the stillness and peace at the heart of you. There is silence for a minute at the end, before I guide you back.
Ratio breathing. Breathing in for 1, holding for 4, breathing out for 2. This gentle, mindful breathing practice allows us to take longer, slower breaths to feel calm. This guided breathing is part of the Remembering class, when we practice pausing in stillness and remember the goodness in our hearts.
A meditation practice that invites you to remember the peace and calm that is at the heart of you. There are a few minutes of silence towards the end, before I gently guide you back.
4 minutes of guided meditation to relax the whole body, with 1 minute of silence at the end. You can decide how long you would like to rest for, by adding silent tracks after this episode. The gentle wake up episode can bring you back to movement to close practice.
A guided meditation to prepare for yoga practice, settling in to the body and breathing deeply in to the belly. Use this to feel ready to begin moving your body.
My voice gently waking you up from Savasana, inviting movement back in to your body. We connect with a unifying breath together and I close by saying "Namaste." Honouring the light in you, and for your practice wherever you are.
