Landscape of the Lungs

1 hour intermediate yoga class with a focus on using the lungs to find the backbend (thanks to my teacher, Patty Towsend). We start off with some abdominal work which leads into more traditional yoga postures. Handstanding is optional. We finally transition to the floor for some Bartenieff rolling work on the back just before savasana. I made this during the stay-in-shelter mandate during the Corona Virus epidemic. During this time, my colleagues and I lost all of our income as independent contractors. Please consider donating to my Venmo @rebeccabullketchum Paypal: Rebecca@ketchumyoga.com

awake body quiet mind

A strong, and well-rounded Kula Yoga class. A scarf or yoga belt is recommended but you'll be just fine without it. We will focus on shoulders, hips, & backbends eventually leading up to Gomukasana arms + King Pigeon as an option. I made this during the stay-in-shelter mandate during the Corona Virus epidemic. During this time, my colleagues and I lost all of our income as independent contractors. Please consider donating to my Venmo @rebeccabullketchum THANK YOU

twists & backbends

50 mins of Kula flow + 25 minutes of restorative. Twists and backbends leading to side crow as an option. Grounding and expansive.

compact the outer hips IN

SPIRAL FLOW

Inspired by the spirals of the body and the movements of the rib basket, the 1 hour vinyasa class below is blend of slow and steady movement along with some flowing sequences. It's an open level class with many options to modify the practice based on your level. This Spotify playlist works well with this class. Thanks to Chris Roberti for being my student.

1hr gentle yoga w/rolling

This breath-centered and grounding class is accessible to all levels and involves very few standing postures. We begin by rolling on the floor to ground and warm the joints of the body. This class is highly inspired by the Laban/Bartenieff fundamentals and Body Mind Centering.

Inflate the kidneys

This well-rounded class offers plenty of modifications as needed. In it, I talk a lot about inflating the kidneys with breath. It peaks about mid-class in terms of vigor. There is a fair amount of dolphin, back-bending (Ustrasana) and standing split variations. This prep leads in to an optional forearm stand at the wall. Then, we slow down with a calming breath practice leading into savasana. I made this during the stay-in-shelter mandate during the Corona Virus epidemic.

shoulder/neck flow

Well rounded class with a general focus on the shoulders and neck. Expect twists, balancing postures with unique arm variations, and sun salutations. Plenty of modifications.

vintage FOREARM Stand flow

Above is a 1 hour intermediate vinyasa yoga class with some flow, some longer holds, sun salutations, forearm stand, and headstand. Class focuses on pressing the elbows into the surface beneath to feel the rebound of gravity up through the body in headstand, forearm stand, and extended side angle. This action of pressing the elbows down also helps to integrate the shoulder blades on the back. I filmed this way back in 2013 or so. There is a lot I would change but it still feels good in my bod.

WELL ROUNDED FLOW

Above is a well-rounded vinyasa class with some flowing, a few longer holds, room for self-guided practice, time for an inversion, and a calming sequence to close. Two yoga blocks are recommended but you absolutely don't need them. We will play with some standing postures by standing up on the blocks to work the intrinsic muscles of the feet, hone ankle/knee/hip stability, and to give our nervous system some new movement patterns to process. We will also work on getting up from and down to the floor without using our hands. This Spotify playlist works well with the class. If you get tired of that one, this one goes well, too.

1hr gentle yoga w/chair

The above video incorporates somatics, yoga, and gentle movement into a one hour grounding class. It felt very good to me to do this right before going to bed or when feeling anxious. I made this during the stay-in-shelter mandate during the Corona Virus epidemic. During this time, my colleagues and I lost all of our income as independent contractors.

1 hr gentle yogaw/tree pose

Well-rounded breath-centered gentle yoga class for all levels. No props needed but do have a towel or blanket nearby and blocks if you have them. We spend some time warming the hips and shoulders and play with a balance in tree pose. There with plenty of options for modifications as needed. I made this during the stay-in-shelter mandate during the Corona Virus epidemic. During this time, my colleagues and I lost all of our income as independent contractors.
