Extended side angle is a powerful hip-opening pose. It stretches the inner thighs, strengthens the glutes and quads, stabilizes the core and stretches the sides of your torso to make room for deep breathing. In this class we will build towards this grounding and expansive pose, work with adaptations and it’s full expression, then settle into some finishing stretches.

Journal

Here you'll find writing on mindfulness, neuroscience, mental health, physical wellbeing, and yoga.

These topics often overlap: attention, behaviour and embodiment are all part of the same ecosystem of experience, and the aim here is to explore those connections in a thoughtful and practical way. Some posts draw from research, others from lived experience and teaching. The intention is to share ideas that are useful, considered, and occasionally a bit different from what is typically said.
