In this series we will focus on the body and movement as meditation. Classes will last around 15 minutes. Some classes will be a bit faster, some slower, some a more general practice, and some focused on a certain type of posture, like hips, for instance. This series is a great way to guarantee you'll get your yoga practice in for the day, feel energized, and be uplifted from the experience. :-)
Why "Third Limb?"
In the Sutras of Patanjali, yoga is laid out as eight "limbs", the third limb being "asana," which translates directly as "seat." In modern yoga, asana is thought of as the physical practice of yoga...or, what most people think of when they think of yoga. With that, the main focus of each class will be connecting to the feeling in the body as we enjoy a short, physical practice.
The Third Limb Series lasts 21-days, with a short class (15 minutes or less) posted each morning. Here is what to expect:
• Feel Connected to Your Body
• Light-Hearted
• Joyous Classes
• All Abilities Welcome
• Practice Anytime
• Easy To Commit to; Easy To Do
• Pet-Friendly
• Consistent Every Day
• Classes Archived—So You Can Practice Anytime, Anywhere
• Leave Class Feeling Uplifted
The purpose of the studio is To provide an online yoga home for students of all abilities through uplifting, joyous teachings built on the foundations of the yoga tradition.
So don't worry...this series is open to everyone, as are all the classes at the studio.
Each morning a new class will be posted. You can watch the class when you get up in the morning, fit it in-between things during the day, or do it before you go to bed. It's best to figure out a time that works and do it at a consistent time...but, if you need to move the class around each day to make it work, you're free to do that - that's what is so great about it!
I hope to see you in the series. :-)
This is the first of 21-day series classes I will be teaching. Upcoming there will be other, awesome series classes...around once/month. It's going to be great!!

Today is our 2nd "Sunny Monday!" Our sun salutation today is pretty fun...I hope you enjoy it!
We are on our second week of "Thoughtful Tuesday." Today we practice seated, and take the senses coming into the body.
Today we enjoy "Balance Wednesday" by finding balance in the breath as we move.
For today's "Thursday Strength" class we focus on mental and emotional strength.
For our "Friday Flow" class we will focus on flowing like water, not being bothered if obstacles get in our way.
We celebrate "Shake It Off Saturday" with some movement and breath work.
This is our third "Sunny Monday" class! Enjoy. :-)
Today for our "Thoughtful Tuesday" class we consider the idea of letting our thoughts move through the mind like clouds.
For this "Balance Wednesday" class, we will work on the idea of energetic balance, which in yoga is called Spanda...which translates to "dynamic stillness."
This is our final "Thursday Strength" class. Today we think about our personal strength to be our True Self.
We made it to "Friday Flow" - right on Friday! In today's class we think about the idea of "inaction as action," and "action as action."
Today we have a fun "Shake if Off Saturday" class, doing shaking techniques to let go of tension, and the week.
