Move with Greater Ease – 5 Yoga Class Video Collection

Ease everyday stiffness, feel steadier on your feet and discover more comfortable ways to move – all in your own home.

Does your back feel stiff when you get up in the morning? Do your shoulders creep towards your ears after a busy day? Or have you noticed that your balance isn’t quite what it used to be?

Perhaps you simply feel that your body doesn’t move as freely as you’d like, and you’re not sure whether you should be stretching more, strengthening something or just taking things a little more slowly.

Sometimes, moving more comfortably isn’t about trying harder. It’s about discovering a different way to move.

This collection of five carefully chosen Scaravelli-inspired yoga classes invites you to explore your body from your feet to your shoulders, with gentle, thoughtful movement that helps you understand how everything works together.

You’ll explore ways to ease stiffness in your back, find more freedom around your shoulders, feel steadier through your feet and ankles, and discover how your breathing and pelvis influence the way you move.

There’s also time to slow down, settle a busy mind and enjoy movement that doesn’t leave you feeling as though you’ve got another job to do.

Rather than trying to achieve a particular shape or stretch further than feels comfortable, you’ll be encouraged to notice what’s happening in your own body, experiment with small adjustments and discover what works for you.

Five different classes, each offering something useful for the way you move and feel in everyday life.

Five Yoga Classes to Help You Move and Feel Better

Yoga for Back Care – 63 minutes

Does your back feel stiff after sitting, standing or doing the same thing for too long?

Your back is designed to move, but sometimes we become so concerned about keeping it straight or protecting it that we end up holding more tension than we need.

This class offers an opportunity to explore gentle, comfortable movement through your spine, noticing how your breathing, ribs and pelvis influence the way your back feels.

Rather than forcing a stretch or trying to make your back behave in a particular way, you’ll be encouraged to move with curiosity and discover where a little less effort might make a difference.

A thoughtful class for anyone who wants to feel more comfortable and confident moving their back.

Regulate Your Nervous System – 53 minutes

Ever feel tired but wired, with your shoulders tense and your mind still racing?

When life gets busy, it’s easy to carry tension without realising it. Your breathing may become shallower, your neck feels tight and even when you stop, you don’t always feel relaxed.

This gentle class combines slow movement, breathing awareness and restful moments to help you settle and unwind.

You’ll explore comfortable movement through your spine, neck and lower back, with opportunities to notice how your breathing and the way you move can influence how you feel.

There’s no need to clear your mind or force yourself to relax.

Just time to slow down, move gently and give yourself a little breathing space.

Open and Unwind – A Gentle Upper Body Reset – 44 minutes

Do your shoulders creep up towards your ears when you’re concentrating? Or does your upper back feel stiff after a day at the computer?

Your shoulders, chest, ribs and upper back all work together, yet we often focus on stretching whichever area feels tight.

This gentle class takes a different approach.

Using simple movements, supported positions and breathing awareness, you’ll explore ways to encourage greater freedom through your shoulders, chest and upper back.

A rolled blanket or bolster can help you find comfortable support, while gentle twists and stretches offer an opportunity to move without pushing or straining.

The class finishes with a calming relaxation.

A lovely choice when your upper body feels tense and you’d like to feel a little lighter and less restricted.

The Pelvis as a Living Centre – 64 minutes

Ever notice that your hips or lower back feel tight, even when you haven’t done anything particularly strenuous?

We often think of the pelvis as something we need to hold still, tuck under or keep in the right position.

But your pelvis is constantly responding to your breathing and the movements of your spine and legs.

In this gentle, exploratory class, you’ll discover how your breathing, pelvic floor, hips and lower back work together.

Beginning comfortably on the floor, you’ll explore small, natural movements that encourage you to notice where you’re holding tension and where you might be able to let go of unnecessary effort.

As the class develops, you’ll have opportunities to explore these connections through different movements and positions.

A reassuring way to understand your pelvis better and explore greater comfort around your hips and lower back.

Exploring the Ankle – Understanding the Talus – 54 minutes

Have you noticed that your balance feels less reliable, or that your feet and ankles seem stiff when you walk or stand?

It’s easy to overlook your feet, but the way they meet the ground influences how the rest of your body moves.

This fascinating class explores the talus, a small bone within your ankle that plays an important part in how your weight travels through your feet.

Through simple movements, gentle heel and toe lifts, and standing explorations, you’ll discover how small changes around your ankles can influence balance, stability and the way you stand and walk.

You’ll also have time to notice the differences between your two feet and explore how each responds to the ground.

A surprisingly interesting class that may change the way you think about your feet – and how they support the rest of you.

Support healthy ageing – continue exploring the mobility, balance and movement confidence that help you stay active as you get older.

Small Changes Can Make a Big Difference

One of the most interesting things about Scaravelli-inspired yoga is that you don’t always need a bigger movement or a deeper stretch to notice a difference.

Sometimes it’s something surprisingly small.

Allowing your ribs to move a little more freely might change how your shoulders feel. Noticing how your feet meet the floor could help you feel steadier. Or letting go of the effort of holding your back in a particular position might make movement feel more comfortable.

These are the kinds of discoveries you’ll be encouraged to explore throughout the collection.

And because everyone’s body is different, there’s no expectation that your experience should be the same as anyone else’s.

It’s not about getting everything right. It’s about discovering what feels right for you.

Thoughtful Yoga, at Your Own Pace

Drawing on more than 40 years of yoga practice, Catherine Annis brings together Scaravelli-inspired yoga, accessible anatomy and somatic movement to offer a thoughtful, practical approach to movement.

The explanations are clear, the pace is unhurried, and you’re encouraged to be curious rather than push yourself.

Whether you’re relatively new to yoga or have been practising for years, these classes offer opportunities to learn something useful about your own body.

And because they’re recordings, you can pause whenever you need to, repeat a section or return to a favourite class as often as you like.

You don’t have to complete them in a particular order.

Perhaps your back needs some attention today. Tomorrow, you might want to unwind your shoulders, explore your balance or enjoy something gentler to help you settle.

Your body won’t feel the same every day, so it’s useful to have different ways of moving available.

Five Classes to Return to Again and Again

These recordings offer more than a collection of yoga exercises.

They’re an opportunity to develop a better understanding of your body, explore different ways of moving and find approaches that feel useful beyond your yoga mat.

Whether you’re reaching into a cupboard, getting up from a chair, walking on uneven ground or simply wanting to feel less stiff at the end of the day, the awareness you develop can be valuable in everyday life.

Five yoga classes. Five different ways to explore movement. One opportunity to feel more comfortable and confident in your body.

Move at your own pace, discover something new and enjoy practising in the comfort of your own home.
