Full Body Marinade: Yin Yoga
Have your props, blankets and bolsters ready - you’re in for a treat! You’re about to plunge into a full body bliss bath, a deep soak in sensation and melody. Lara will guide you through a series of yin postures - held for up to five minutes - designed to flood the body with sensation, myriad textures, flavours, visions and temperatures.
And once again, Benny Holloway’s ethereal voice and guitar melodies, improvised and spontaneous, accompany Lara’s lyrical instruction and respond to the flow and energetic feel of the sequence – all recorded live in the studio, just for us.

Juicy Hips
This standing sequence homes in on the pelvis, the gateway between upper and lower halves of the body and the holder of SO much tension.
You’ll move through a series of warrior poses, limbering up connective tissue and strengthening supporting muscle groups, so the rivers of communication can flow more freely between the upper and lower halves of your intuitive body.
Many yoga practitioners find hip work to not just be physically challenging but also emotionally undamming. Please take care with any sensitive knees and souls.
To accompany, a selection of Philip Glass etudes. His compositions are full of pathos, and the piano-playing, beautifully precise. Let it anchor you in the present, and carry you through the challenging moments.
Music
Etude No. 5, Philip Glass (9:07)
Etude No. 4, Philip Glass (8:21)
Etude No. 2, Philip Glass (7:26)
Performer: Sally Whitwell

Customer Reviews
Come back to Classic Flow again and again
I discovered classic flow 4-5 years ago and I find myself coming back to Lara’s sequences again and again, especially when I recognise that I need to be grounded in something familiar. I have a deep appreciation for the the way lara guides my through the asanas with just the right amount of pointers. Recently I have become a fan of the mini mindfulness series. Perfect for a quick mindfulness practice throughout the day. Thank you for creating this gift.
Wholehearted fusion of mind, body and spirit
The most beautiful fusion of Lara’s grounded open voice, her rich descriptive language and stunning evocative music to engage my mind and imagination, allowing me to move more deeply into the poses, to approach familiar poses in a new way, and enjoy exploring the movement of my body again. Thank you so much.
