Very very juicy! I love the asymmetrical moves! My travel props today were: a full toilet paper roll instead of a block that got squashed so then I substituted it for a saucepan. And my weight was quite a large ripe mango so I had to be loose on the grip 🤣

Tapping in for yin yang hips before my trip to Oslo. I must remember to take a elastic with me for this week's class. I felt a surprising positive release in this class, and I felt very intentional with doing this class in the middle of the day to take a break from my work. I think this helped coming in with a positive mindset.

I felt a positive release in this class. It felt more like a shake class towards the end, but a good feeling. My hips have always felt so delicate and weak because of all of the tension there, and this class offered a feeling of gentleness combined with empowerment.

Such a nice study break class! Really fely good in my upper back and neck. These moves give you the opportunity to stretch where it's really needed! And to breathe! Working at a desk I forget to breathe!

I was giggling so much watching Valentino's eye while you were lifting your hip up over his head 🤣 I really enjoyed this class, I Iike finding the correct form first and then adding the weight. I did my step ups a little higher on a low wooden coffee table, I liked this extra height (maybe three blocks high). I also liked the balancing bit, and my glutes really felt it during the kneeling hip bend with the weight. It's fun learning how using your own weight and pushing at your hip can also be very effective!

I love this! I also dip out of being consistent and get stuck in my own patterns, it's always such a good feeling when you get back into it. I do the same! Random parts of class come to mind when I'm sitting somewhere, often when I'm outside and I just start doing them and get into my own flow! Your walk looked beautiful ❤️

Just what I needed to get unstuck! Feeling the nice light headed feeling I always get after side back stretches. My neck/head muscles feel so good!

I also started dancing again later in life. If you have your mobility and flexibility I think you're well on your way! For me my hips really needed some attention, so my focus in RPS was there for dancing. Its good to always mix things up though, and work your powerhouse(s) - try the long RPS pilates workouts for strength. In contemporary there's a lot of rolling about on the floor so Ruth's floor work flow ones I think compliment dance classes, windmill study is a favourite for me!

Tapping in for AAA! I got a little sick after my hiking adventure, hardly surprising after overexerting myself in the cold. Took the weekend to recover and do nothing and happy to be back today taking it easy with a shake class! The abs part was particularly challenging for me! Glad I got off my A and did this!
