INFO The first series in the JIP practice is called "Integration" - a time to connect body, mind, and breath. Here is a 20-minute practice to do just that!

INFO Series #2 in JIP - "Awakening" ... essentially the sun salutation portion of class. Use this to get the body moving, flood flowing, heart pumping - leaving you feeling awake enough to tackle whatever comes next.

INFO The 3rd series in the power practice is called "Vitality" - defined as "the state of being strong, active; energy." In this mini-practice we visit get a little warm up flow followed by strong standing postures as well as deep active twists. Conclude this practice feeling revitalized and ready to go!

INFO The 4th series of the power sequence is called "Equanimity" - defined as "mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situation." I surprised myself with this practice as it ended up being twice as long as originally intended. Join me in bringing right and left into harmony as we visit all the JIP balancing postures as well as some bonus ones - some even upside down :)

INFO The 5th series in the JIP practice is that of "Grounding" - a change to take up a lot of space beneath you and to re-root down stably after the balancing section. We take our time to move through variations of all the postures with a sandwiched rooting meditation to boot.

INFO We've made it down to the ground! The 6th series of the JIP practice is called "Igniting" and is essentially the back-bending portion of class. With a brief warm up address the spine, shoulders, quads, and hip flexors (ie everything that opens up when back-bending), we visit each posture as well as some variations. Hopefully this will give you a boost of energy as you head back into your day.

INFO In the JIP sequence, "Stability" follows back-bending as an opportunity to re-knit the core and reintegrate front body to reestablish some corporal balance. This class is purely core work - all the JIP exercises and THEN some! It's an 11-minute abdominal practice that packs a punch; tune back into it whenever you're feeling the need to stabilize!

INFO Aaaaaah... we have made it to the stretching portion of the power practice! First up, "Opening" - which visits the hips. I chose to treat today's class like yin, in that we hold each posture for a longer period of time (3 minutes). I left a lot of space when it came to instruction so that you can either enjoy this class's playlist, your own music, or left in your chosen silence. Enjoy!

INFO Following hip openers is the "Release" portion of the power practice. This sequence is dedicated to deep forward folds to release the back body, namely hamstrings and the muscles that hug the spine. This particular practice I have also designed as yin - with longer holds, spacious instruction, and additional supine stretches at the conclusion. Release into your bliss!

INFO Welcome to the penultimate series in the JIP sequence - "Rejuvenation." This is where we choose an inversion to restore and reenergize us on our way out. Inside we will visit reverse waterfall / legs up the wall, the shoulderstand sequence, classical bound headstand, and we'll end up with our legs up an actual wall for some final hip movements and rest. I leave you primed for a seated meditation or just some time in a supported seat.

INFO Aaaaaah, we have arrived to the grand finale of "Deep Rest." Originally, this little bitty section consists of a reclined twist, reclined bound angle, and savasana; for today's purposes I have fluffed out some more space for various other restorative reclining postures before setting up for a nice, long rest. I invite you back to this particular practice whenever you need to rest on purpose. I hope you enjoyed "a series of series" as we took a deeper dive and more intimate look into the JIP sequence. Keep checking back in "The Power House" for more variations on the power practice!
