Weekly Content

Each week, there are 3 one-hour classes to explore that week’s meridian:

• Spirit class—easier, light movements; to move past your perceived barriers

• Mind class—held poses; to reconnect the mind and the body through the breath

• Body class—harder, stronger moves; to straighten, strengthen and realign the spine and whole body.

Please take as long as you need to do the course and repeat classes as often as you like. In general, it’s better to progress through the course in the order given because each week builds on the last. However, if you’re working on a particular issue or imbalance, it can be very helpful to focus on the hard exercises in the related meridians or elements for as long as necessary to restore function and balance.

Please note that these classes were designed by my late yoga master, Andzej Gospodarczyk, and were taught by me, recorded and shared here with his permission.

Course handouts

The course handouts, written by me, are to support your learning each week by explaining the elements, the symptoms of imbalance and the lifestyle that promotes balance. Each meridian is supported by a delicious wholefoods meal plan that makes rapid improvements in body function, especially when combined with yoga therapy. Below are some examples:
