Welcome to Exploring Tree Pose with Alice! Whether you are laying the foundation for your practice or seeking intermediate variations to challenge your balance, this sequence is designed to help you cultivate strength, focus, and deep physical awareness. By moving mindfully through this flow, Alice provides a beautiful space to explore your body’s full potential and find your center with intention and grace.
Throughout the class, you will be guided through a dynamic sequence that perfectly prepares your joints and muscles for balance. You’ll work through hip-opening lunges, shoulder-releasing eagle arm twists, and targeted core compression to build the strength needed for your peak posture. As you move toward your Tree Pose exploration, you will be encouraged to find your own personal edge, taking the variations that feel best for your body today, and ending with a deeply restorative reclined cow face pose to melt away any lingering tension.
*Yoga blocks are optional, but highly recommended for support during lunges and half splits
This program will help you:
Cultivate Balance and Focus: Receive step-by-step guidance into Tree Pose, with multiple variations ranging from a foundational stance to intermediate leg extensions.
Open the Hips and Shoulders: Release deep-seated tension using eagle arm wraps, horizon line circles, and fluid side body stretches.
Build Core and Leg Strength: Utilize targeted leg lifts and abdominal compression movements to build the necessary muscular support for one-legged balances.
Find Your Personal Edge: Move at your own pace with continuous options to modify or deepen your stretches, such as utilizing blocks or transitioning from a half split to a full split.
Namaste!
Welcome to Flow For Full Body Awareness with Alice! Step onto your mat and dive into a grounding practice designed to cultivate deep physical presence and unlock tension throughout your entire body. This session is all about tuning in to your natural rhythm, allowing you to settle in and slow down. By pairing breath with deliberate, mindful movement, you will explore the subtle physical sensations often missed in a fast-paced day.
This practice is beginner friendly and highly accessible, utilizing two blocks to support your stability and meet your body exactly where it is today. Rather than swiftly moving through a complex sequence, you will spend time exploring your full-body alignment through spacious variations like deep lunges, standing folds, and squats. Every transition is an opportunity to scan the body, create length in your major muscle groups, and cultivate your mind-body connection. You will finish your class feeling completely aligned, centered, and deeply tuned in to yourself.
*For this program we recommend using two yoga blocks for support.
