Absolute Beginner Series: Finding Your Comfortable Seat
This class is all about finding a way to sit that works for your individual body. Once you find a seat that works for you, we will spend a few minutes grounding ourselves with yogic (ujjayi) breathing.This class can be done as a stand-alone session for relaxation and grounding, or you can follow it with the Absolute Beginner Series: Meditation for Body Connection.

I am new to yoga you make it easy!
Thank you! I am a runner with some foot pain and I need a gentle beginning to yoga practice. This was great!
Hi Thank you for these classes. I have very bad knees surgery needed soon and am not sure what poses I should avoid. Is there a video for people with bad knees?
Thanks so much for this! Seems like it's harder than it should be to find classes aimed at folks who are "absolute beginners" AND need some positioning mods.
I think I've got most of it figured out (using rolled-up towels and stuff since I don't have a bolster or blocks yet). I'm really surprised that sitting cross-legged ended up being the most comfortable for me overall. One thing I noticed is that my ankles do not like the cross-legged position at all. My left ankle in particular gets very sore very fast. (It is under my right leg, so I know bearing that weight is part of the problem, but I haven't worked out how to avoid that yet.) Anything I can do or use to ease the pressure / weight / pain on my ankles? Should I just start out in a chair and go from there? Or is this just part of positioning / moving my body in new ways and it'll get better with practice?
