Elegant Spine | November 2025 6-Class Online Series

November 7 - November 28

REGISTER NOW


We devote this month’s classes to increasing spinal motion beginning at the coccyx and moving to the crown of the head. Each class will be a deep dive into the energetic structure of each spinal segment. Through sliding, gliding, stretching and stabilizing practices, we open the pathway of vitality through the spine.

* All classes are held from 10:00 – 11:30am Mountain Time*

Coccyx – Fri Nov 7th

The coccyx is our vestigial tail, a series of 4-5 small and delicate bones that fuse together. Work with the tailbone involves mobilizing the extremely fine and sensitive tissue of the perineum. In this class we do small, subtle movements to pump, pulse, lift and expand the tailbone. In standing poses we use the tailbone to refine balance and stability.

Sacrum – Tues Nov 11th

The sacrum is the holy bone of the body. Related to the water chakra and the energy of kundalini, the sacrum promotes fluidity along the entire spinal column. In this class, we discover the sacrum as the center of gravity in the body. In movement, we pump, rock, expand, narrow and lift the sacrum to promote spinal motion.

Lumbar – Tues Nov 18th

The bones of the lower spine are strong and stout yet prone to compression, torques, twists and displacement. In this class, we build integrity within the muscle fibers and ligaments of the lumbar to help reduce low back pain and increase spinal motion.

Thoracic – Fri Nov 21st

Motion of the thoracic spine is crucial for stabilizing the ribs, diaphragm, heart, and lungs. All pranayama practice requires a supple but firm thoracic spine. In this class we increase ROM in the upper spine through sliding, side-bending, rocking and pumping movements to prepare for pranayama.

Cervical – Tues Nov 25th

The muscles, tendons and ligaments that attach directly to the neck are extremely delicate and fine. While it should be a goal in every yoga pose to avoid compression in the neck, it is common for students to force their neck into position. In this class we gently mobilize the neck to help orient and align the cranium.

 

Occipital – Fri Nov 28th

The bone at the back of the skull, the occiput, is a vestigial vertebrae that in animals such as elk, deer and horses, holds the powerful mane of the neck in place. In humans, the occiput is often restrained due to tension in the neck and jaw. In this class we increase fluid motion in the occiput, connect the occiput to the sacrum, and bring awareness to the cranial bones and the connective tissues around the brain.

Cost: $100 + tax
