This class is a 75 minute level 1/2 live yoga class that focuses on finding both length and strength in your torso. This includes the back (the spine) and the front (including your abdominal muscles). You may feel like this is a class that both softens the abdomen and strengthens it. Likewise, the back muscles may feel simultaneously worked and massaged longer.

In this class, we start lying flat on the back. Eventually we will use a single yoga blanket rolled into a cylinder and place it behind the thoracic spine. You could use a yoga bolster or a soft foam roller, but the class was designed with a rolled yoga blanket. You will also want a strap, yoga blocks, and a wall space.

This podcast is an intersection of my yoga teaching and my training in the Feldenkrais® method. Classes include sensory rich movement experiences for a more resilient and healthy nervous system to help you feel a greater sense of ease and comfort in yourself.

Sarah has been creating podcast classes since 2007. Each podcast is an originally crafted class taught by Sarah Baumert. Sarah's teaching is alignment based, unhurried, and rich with somatic inquiries. The cueing is effective, easy to follow, and uses visualizations of postures to allow for unexpected growth and depth. You will find live unplugged versions of her classes from yoga studios, as well as classes that are specifically produced for the podcast medium.
