Hello, I am Allie Greene, and welcome to my residence studio in Pittsburgh, PA. I’m so excited to carry you this sequence, Transfer With Ease. We’re going to be exploring ourselves from the bottom up and inside out. Now, earlier than we get began, each class, we’d want a number of props. So for at the moment’s class, what you possibly can go and get is a blanket like I’ve or a pillow.


And I am utilizing a yoga strap, however you possibly can at all times seize a shawl or a belt. I imply, that is, , just a little DIY ‘trigger we’re at residence.

You possibly can watch throughout these sections and even simply discover doing one thing just a little bit totally different.


So our first-class is concentrated on sensing assist. I wish to ask these two questions, the place is my assist and what’s my relationship to it? So we’re gonna perform a little pre-practice remark. So I invite you to shut your eyes, and ask your self this query, how am I coming to this observe? What’s my temper, my power?


What are my ideas? Do I’ve any aches and pains or bodily points occurring? All of those have a relationship to assist, and all of those have a relationship to one another. On this class, I need you to provide your self permission to decelerate. Generally slowing down will be difficult for us as a result of our nervous methods are used to type of revving at a better tempo.


So simply know that the whole lot you are feeling is actual and it is all okay. So we’re gonna begin mendacity on the bottom. So seize your blanket or your pillow, and also you’re gonna put it proper on the fringe of your mat. And let’s go forward and lie down. Now, along with your pillow or your blanket, you need to be wanting straight up on the ceiling.


Should you discover that your head is lifted this manner, decrease that pillow just a little bit. Should you discover that your head is tilted backwards, simply raise it up just a little bit. That is additionally speaking to our nervous system. And so, once we discover that stability, that correct amount of assist, it helps our physique loosen up. You wanna carry it proper as much as your shoulders in order that your shoulders can choose up on that and they’ll really open and soften.


Now, our legs, we are able to do numerous various things. I will take mine just a little wider and let the knees are available in simply so that they relaxation. But when that is not feeling nice for you, you possibly can lengthen the legs, you possibly can simply have them bent. So you possibly can mess around with that just a little bit. See what works to your physique.


Arms can simply come down by your facet. And in the event you really feel supported sufficient, you possibly can flip your palms to face up. Why will we begin on the bottom? It is the place we really feel probably the most assist. So I would such as you to take your consciousness to all of the elements of your physique which might be touching the bottom.


In the event that they really feel like they’re nonetheless holding and lifting, see in the event you may give them that permission to only, ugh, soften. Generally that is all they want. However typically, rigidity will be actually wound in there, and it would take just a little breath or just a little motion to get it to unwind just a little bit. And that is why this sequence is named Transfer Into Ease. So we’re softening into the assist of the bottom.


That is gravity, it is our buddy. And this softening, this acutely aware transferring in the direction of assist is named yielding. And we’re creating this relationship with our fluid physique. That is mobile. So simply take one other second, really feel the place you might be, see in the event you wanna soften anything or discover what would possibly want just a little additional assist alongside the best way.


After which we’ll discover the power that comes out of the bottom. And we may name this levity. And it strikes up by means of the physique, in order that any elements of our physique which might be in relationship with area now get to really feel mild and really expansive. So we’re condensing and transferring down into gravity, yielding. After which we’re lifting, discovering our buoyancy and expansiveness by means of area.


We’re creating balanced tone for ourselves, very fluid, very responsive. (Allie sighing) Hopefully you are beginning to really feel just a little bit extra easeful even right here.

And we’re gonna place it behind the proper thigh. You possibly can maintain along with your palms going through up, and it is just a bit light grip. So we wanna additionally watch patterns that we’ve, like, oh, once I maintain one thing, I grip actually exhausting.
