Standing all the way through (or sitting if preferred) we breathe into every bit of our lungs and increase our lung capacity together. We'll oxygenate and rid ourselves of what we don't need and revitalise the good.  You'll lengthen and release your whole body, too.  Suitable and vital for all.

Video number 72 (20 minutes)

72 Sitting tall throughout.  Our shoulders want to relax.  They need to be strong, mobile and toned, too, so they can work beautifully but also relax over our tall strong body.  This session will place, release, balance and tone the shoulders, while we move without stress. We release, place, balance and align.

115 Lie Down

Video number 115 (18 minutes)

115 is simply relaxation.  We are lying down on our back, in bed or on a comfortable mat (or in a field or a beach if there's one to hand!)  This session takes away tensions, releasing our head, mind and body into complete comfort and rest. Anytime you want to relax, join me here to ease and rest.  I disappear silently after eighteen minutes leaving you to rest, doze or sleep without interuption.

We do gentle controlled moves to align and balance our bodies so we can simply relax painfree. I'll silently fade out at the end of the session as we continue to relax.
