About This Class

Get into some twists to energize your body with this 30 min yoga flow

Hey yogis, I've got a great class for you this week focusing on some of my favorite poses - twists! Twists are a wonderful way to alleviate discomfort in your spine. Whenever I get a knot in my back or pain in my lower back, a few gentle twists always make me feel brand new again. We'll also play with some fun balancing poses and try new variations of classic poses such as high lunge and downward dog. Twists also have a "detoxing" nature which although sounds a bit out there, all it means is that you are compressing and decompressing the internal organs to facilitate the process of elimination.

Twists are also a wonderful way to get a natural boost of energy! Instead of reaching for that 2nd cup of coffee, why not do a 30 minute slow flow twist class? This is an intermediate level class however we move through the poses fairly slowly so this would be a good class for beginner students trying to transition to intermediate level. Some of the poses are a bit harder such as standing pigeon with a twist and boat pose, feel free to skip those out!

Some of the poses we'll be playing with include laying spinal twist, revolved triangle, high lunge twist and many more!

Sorry if the footage is slightly blurry, it looks like the lens was not quite in focus! Hopefully you are still able to follow along :)

Yoga With Kassandra

Yoga Instructor on a mission to help others feel great with yoga.

I’m an Ottawa-based Yoga Instructor on a mission to help others feel great with yoga. I started practicing yoga in 2008 as a way to become more flexible and learn to manage stress and anxiety. Little did I know in a few short years I would have the privilege of becoming a teacher, passionately committed to sharing yoga with others who, like me, were sick of feeling less than vibrant.

Before I started practicing, I barely had any energy, I couldn’t quiet my mind for a single minute and always seemed to have aches and pains in my legs and lower back. Once I started practicing regularly, bit by bit I became stronger, calmer and braver. Yoga is now ingrained in my daily life in a fundamental way. It helps me meet any challenges I may face by teaching me to be present, focused and receptive

THE JOURNEY

Through my Yoga with Kassandra YouTube channel, I’ve been able to introduce Yin Yoga to hundreds of thousands of people from across the globe. What started as my own personal sadhana to ease stress and anxiety quickly unraveled into my greatest passion, an exciting career and a whole new way of life!

My aim is to create accessible, easy to follow yoga classes that you can do in the comfort of your own home.

I hope you find value in my offerings and thank you so much for stopping by.

Namaste,

Kassandra
