The 12 Days of Yoga

Day 6 - Be Still on the Floor

As the year draws to an end, take the opportunity to be still, relax and reflect.

For this session, you'll need cushions, blankets, bolsters, blocks ... anything you can use to support the body and let yourself relax.

There are two versions of this session. This page contains the files related to a floor session. If you prefer to use a chair, see Day 6 - Be Still on the Chair.
