Beginner level on how to stretch the spine and stabilise with the shoulders and hips. This is a suggested sequence for beginners with the reminder not to force anything. No momentum or forcing with gravity should be attempted. Listen to your own body and only move in a range which feels effortless, ignoring the extent of the demonstration beyond your current flexibility. There is one forearm balance which is not advised for beginners. Instead if you choose not to rest you can do the exercise offered before the inversion.

Classic Earth sequence for beginners and those looking to have options for an intermediate challenge.

The sequence moves swiftly and is less about stretch but more so about changing the body position regularly, smoothly and actively. Much like the ever changing nature of a landscape the postures are rooted in transition and a constantly changing environment.

Total beginners can practice this video with an emphasis on gentle movements, but only follow what you can without any strain or stress.

Intermediate practitioners with a few years experience can enjoy this practice as a low intensity flow.

Please consult an experienced yoga teacher with any questions and for the most effective benefit do not to use momentum or pulling legs with the arms to get into position.

A gentle quick headstand prep practice is offered but not demonstrated. There are a number of poses and movements which are offered but not demonstrated. These are suggested for the benefit of experienced students who are familiar already with the style.

Those with less than approximately 3 years practice should not at all attempt to lift the feet in headstand practice, the bone density of the neck hasn’t yet been adequately trained for.

Follow the simple options and take it easy as a beginner to this practice.
Often the day after practice will reveal muscular imbalances so approach cautiously particularly in the extended back bend sequence to this video. Don’t force the body or over rely on gravity whilst moving and in poses.

This is a practice which lengthens the front of the hips and can relieve low back pain if practiced correctly. There should be no pinching feeling in the low back or else slowly lift the head out of the posture.
This is an accessible, energising practice

1 being wobbly (chance to be nonreactive and choose easier versions)

This sequence is heating and helps to regulate excessive sympathetic activation for the practitioner.

On watching these videos I warrant that:

• I am fit and healthy to practice yoga and if this changes will communicate with Stefan any concerns about physical/physiological/psychological condition if and as and when any arise.

• I have consulted with a trained medical professional if unsure about my capacity to practice yoga.

• I will practice to the extent where I feel able to access completely relaxed natural breathing (unless directly instructed otherwise) in every exercise and feel no physical discomfort.

• I will move slowly & actively without momentum (ie jumping into poses unless directly instructed).

• I will restrain from throwing or pulling limbs beyond their unassisted range of motion or forcing them with body weight.

• I am responsible for ensuring my own safety by avoiding anything that feels unstable or imbalanced during practice.

• The body is extremely complex and repetitive strain may occur if technique around one of the major joints is practiced insufficiently. I will learn to discern differences between muscular work & joint/tendon/ligament support. I will build understanding by feeling joints are not sore during or after practice (muscular soreness is not ideal also however repairs much quicker). A clearer view is, if the discomfort builds progressively and takes longer than a few days to pass, it’s likely joint related. If I am in any doubts I will immediately cease the element of practice that triggers discomfort and contact Stefan.
