This series is to help mobilize your joints. As we age, it seems that everything begins to stiffen up.

Whatever the case, this block of mini flows is here to increase your postural awareness, and hopefully the flexibility and mobility of your joints. Healthy & lubricated joints are happy & moveable joints! As always, mind your body and do not 'push through pain'. Some of these exercises may not be ideal for YOUR body so be sure to tune in and pay attention to it's needs.

Feet & Ankles

Jailyn Matthews

Our bods are like rad, multifunctional machines, vibing best when every piece is in sync. Now, let's show some love to the unsung heroes – our feet. These bad boys put in work for us daily, so it's prime time to check in and shower them with some well-deserved TLC. Spoiler alert: freeing up tension in your feet might just kickstart a domino effect of good vibes rippling through your entire bod. It's all about setting the stage for your feet to carry you through the day like the absolute champs they are. Let the foot love flow!

Shoulder and wrist hiccups are MVPs in the list of common issues my clients bring to the mat.

The moves in this flow are your secret sauce for nailing that sweet muscle engagement. It's all about making poses like plank and the dog series, staples in the yoga world, feel like a breeze with fewer injury vibes. Let's get those shoulders and wrists in tip-top shape, so you can own your yoga game without the unwanted drama. Time to flow and glow!

Spine-Cervical

Spine-Cervical

Jailyn Matthews

Maintaining a supple spine is the secret sauce to a pain-free journey. Thanks to the aging process, gravity, and our modern lifestyles, our backs often bear the brunt of the stress, resulting in some serious discomfort. While a strong core and glutes are pivotal for spine health, don't sleep on the importance of keeping your vertebral column flexible. In this session, we're diving deep into the cervical spine – that's the neck, folks. We're talking full-on exploration, hitting all the ranges of motion: flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation. A heads-up though, not all these moves are a one-size-fits-all deal. Some might not vibe with your body, and that's cool. Always respect your limits, start small, and gradually dial it up. Oh, and here's the golden rule – never power through the pain. Let's keep it real and stay mindful of what your body is telling you.

Spine-Thoracic

Spine-Thoracic

In this sesh, we're turning our attention to the thoracic/mid spine – that's the sweet spot. We're rolling through all the moves: flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation. Quick heads-up, though – not every move may be your body's cup of tea. Some could be a hard pass, and that's cool. Always respect your body's boundaries, start small, and gradually level up. Oh, and a golden rule to live by: pain is a strict no-go zone. Tune in, listen to your body, and let's groove our way to a flexible and pain-free life. Respect the process, you got this!

Spine-Lumbar

Spine-Lumbar

Jailyn Matthews

A flexible spine is key to a pain free life. Aging, gravity and lifestyle can really stress out our backs; and a stressed spine is painful! Keeping a strong core and gluteal muscles is key to spine health, but flexibility of the vertebral column is just as important. In this session we will move the lumbar spine (low back) in all of it's ranges of motion; flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation. Some of these motions may be contraindicated (not advised) for your body. Always respect your limitations, work in small increments and build up to the full ranges, and NEVER push trough PAIN.
