In Season 1, Episode 15 of Yoga Foundations, acclaimed instructors Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee invite you to experience a mindful yoga practice designed to ground your body and quiet your mind.

This 45-minute session serves as an accessible entry point for beginner yoga foundations, focusing on the essential alignment and breathwork that form the bedrock of a lifelong practice. Through a carefully structured sequence of seated twists, standing poses, and breath-to-movement exercises, you will explore somatic movement and embodiment in a way that feels both safe and deeply restorative. The instructors guide you through each transition with clear, step-by-step cues, ensuring you feel supported at every turn. You will learn how to align your joints, engage your core, and find ease within effort, establishing a strong physical and mental baseline.
Rather than rushing toward advanced postures, this class emphasizes the beauty of gentle yoga for beginners. By focusing on the present moment and the sensation of the breath, you can begin embracing the yoga journey as a personal sanctuary.
