Yoga Breaks Preview
A simple breath meditation that you can do anywhere to help you reduce stress and quiet your mind. All you need to do is sit down and press play!
If you need a gentle stretch, this is a lovely simple warm-up, all done sitting in a chair. It works great if you are feeling stiff or having a hard time getting going, or if you are feeling stressed at your desk. It’s fabulous as a standalone practice, any time you need a quick yoga break. All you need is a chair!
A simple sequence for legs/hips and back. Perfect if you need a stretch while traveling (road trip yoga!) or a quick break from your desk. Also great to do after a walk/run, or anytime you need a yoga break and can’t, for whatever reason, make it to the floor. (No mat needed.)
A calming breath meditation, some gentle seated poses (including a much needed neck stretch!) and a lovely simple hip release. This is a great practice for the end of a long day, after travel, or anytime you need to release tension from your body and mind. Enjoy!
A simple practice to help reduce stress and cultivate calm.
You will need two yoga blocks for this one. This sequence is from one of our live zoom classes at the YLC and it is fabulous for reversing "the slumpies". Press "play" and feel all of your tension and stress melt away!
This is a lovely meditation for whenever you need to take a break from your busy life and find some peace of mind. Enjoy!
A gentle sequence to release tension from your hips and your mind.
Stiff neck? Tight shoulders? Enjoy this lovely gentle chair class to release tension from your neck and shoulders. Feel your shoulders melt down :)

“Since starting this class, I am standing better, and have less back & neck pain and I sleep better. This hasn't happened in years.”

“The yoga is powerful yet gentle, particularly perfect for anyone over 45 who wants challenge but not discomfort. You will feel better when you finish the class. You will want to come back next week.”

“There is no pressure to achieve perfectly executed asanas, just encouragement for safely doing something very good for ourselves. All levels of practice and all ages can benefit from Fiona's classes, which are fun (and often funny).”
