Rox Does Yoga

I taught a Mother’s Day class! Well, not on actual Mother’s Day, it was during my usual Tuesday class time – but it was a class designed for moms, with lots of fun partner poses for moms attending with their offspring (although offspring had to be at least 12 or older – that would have been an entirely different sort of class). It was a small class, but a lot of fun!

Here’s the sequence I taught:

• child’s pose
• cat/dog tilt
• tabletop balance (partner pose)
• downward dog; transition to mountain pose
• half sun salutes X 4
• sun salutations with lunges X 2
• standing sequence
  • warrior 1
  • Double warrior 2 (partner pose)
  • radiant partners (partner pose – although ours looked a little different than this photo, with the back hand down for support)
  • triangle pose
  • revolved triangle
  • pyramid/head-to-knee pose
  • wide-legged forward fold (I should have done this as a partner pose! Note for next time.)
  • Goddess pose
• repeat standing pose sequence on the other side
• Balance: Partner Tree Pose (partner pose)
• squat
• partner wide-legged forward fold (partner pose)
• partner cross-legged twist (partner pose)
• partner boat (partner pose)
• inversion: bridge
• knees to chest
• Savasana

And here’s the playlist I created for the class. I tried to include music with a lot of feminine energy, both specifically mother-related and just general girl power tunes; I pulled from both my yoga music collection and pop music. I was pretty happy with the overall playlist – my only sadness is that I made it long enough that I wouldn’t have to worry about running out of music, but instead there were great songs we didn’t get to!
