60 Minute Vinyasa Flow - Free your side body, hips and shoulders

This is a 60 minute vinyasa flow class to free your side body, hips and shoulders. Class moves fluidly through some creative lateral side bends as we flow, facilitating more room in your torso to breathe a deeper breath. Lateral side bends also help to restore symmetry to the left and right side of your body.
The pace is slow, rhythmic and accessible. It's easeful and designed to breathe more space into your body. Enjoy!

Exactly what everyone that sits at a computer all day should be doing - so good , thank you.

[@TwoBirdsYoga]

So many sit at desk bodies out there for sure. A recent study posted in the US indicated the vast majority of the population move less than 12 % a day. Would be the same here in Australia. Our poor bodies!

[@joelhorlen20-zk3xr]

So much space created in my side-bodies. I can breathe! Thank you, Fiona.

Yay! That is a nice feeling huh?! Thanks Joel 😊🙏

[@mariascuttaro6210]

I have done many yoga classes and I find yours to be exceptional! As an aging yoga practitioner, I need these slower, complete and more meditational flows. Thank you very much xoxo

[@TwoBirdsYoga]

You’re so very welcome Maria. So nice to hear you find them accessible and enjoyable. Makes what I do so worthwhile. It really is a practice for longevity ❤️🙏

[@marthajacovoni5162]

Good morning, Fiona! I love Ralph! He cracks me up! It’s hard to be present in my practice when I’m laughing! He has quite a lovely downward dog! I loved this practice. Several new asanas for me . I had a lumpectomy for breast cancer last year and my left chest , axilla is tight . But this was so helpful. I will come back for this practice! You are so good. I so appreciate your skill and thoughtful approach! Not to worry about me. I am cancer free and in good health. Blessings to you and all of Two Birds and sweet Ralph ❤️🌞🤸‍♂️🧘🏻‍♀️🙏

[@TwoBirdsYoga]

Good to hear. Such a relief, I’m sure. And good to keep moving and opening so you maintain mobility. Ralphie is hilarious… every move unscripted and new! 🙏

[@IndigoOutside]

I play soccer 2-3 days per week and sit at a desk for the majority of my work days. Your practices make my hips, hammies, feet, and the rest of my body and mind feel absolutely fantastic.

Loved it.😊😍 Hi Fiona, I really loved your 60 mins classes. I have joined your classes since pandemic and found that all the classes always made me feel open, grounded and present during and after the classes. That's why I practice them everyday, except the day I doing my jogging or walking. I feel blessed I found you. Thank you so so much Fiona.😊😍❤

@@TwoBirdsYoga Yes, Fiona, indeed, I did almost all your 60mins classes including ashtanga ones. Of course, they are all my favourites vinyasa flow. Such as: free side body, hips and shoulders; intermediate series; challenging morning; move, breath and flow; core strength, hold and release; perk poses and etc. Thanks so much Fiona, for your creative vinyasa flow. Loved it.😊😍❤🙏

Lovely Theresa!!! Thank you so much for your beautiful feedback x I’m so glad you enjoyed this class. I actually had to film it twice as I forgot a whole sequence on one side and mixed up my lefts and rights! Lol! So...I’m happy it was just what you needed and I finally got it to you! Fi 🙏

[@theresacrous3611]

My hubby and I are over 50, start our day with an hour of strong beginner flow. I have done the classical poses for about 3 years and then got Brian roped in, so I reverted back to beginner poses and flows, which I have grown to LOVE! I appreciate your stance on body awareness and your unique way of presenting and guidance. Thank you again for sharing your insight and talent with us! May you never forget how you touch the lives of others! Stay well and warm!

[@TwoBirdsYoga]

Oh Theresa that’s so kind. Great that you practice together. I do too with my husband. We’re both a bit special needs with our conditions / bodies so I like flowing slow :-) love how the practice connects us and me to others from all over. You take care x

I very much enjoy your style of teaching and your creativity. I always feel AMAZING after your classes. I am recovering from neck and shoulder issues and I find that there are some other styles of yoga that oftentimes make them worse.

[@markuswenninger2141]

What an expert lesson again - thank you so much for it, all my current Asana could be inserted seamlessly, including Galavasana (in Lotus, which allows my buildt more control), it's very very fullfilling, & your anatomical minutiae so helpful for attention (away from the huffing & puffing & smiling...). 🙏🏻❤️

[@TwoBirdsYoga]

Thank you! Goodness, galavasana makes me knees cry. So does lotus. Though I think it’s my hips that prevent me from going there. Glad to hear you felt open to flow there from this practice. Nice work! 🙏

[@markuswenninger2141]

@@TwoBirdsYoga Galavasana is often done with one leg straightened out - which I know as FlyingPidgeon...Confusing, at times, to say the least, but that's how it is with us human beings. 😊

Thank you so much for your kind donation and feedback. I’m sorry to hear you experience sciatica. It can be so painful, tiring and frustrating I’m sure. I have so many classes that may offer some relief. Gentle flows that focus on liberating your hips and low back. I’ll put together a playlist for you.
