Ready for some fun? This is a deep, hip-opening class where we get right to it! A fun mandala-making beginning followed by heat-building and core strengthening leading up to compass pose, and eight-angle pose! An all-over feel-good flow with special love for your hips, sure to energize you and also bring a smile to your face. Enjoy!

Join me in the Practice Garden for an energizing flow that's all about the straddle! Work your inner thighs and outer hips to find stability and strength, fire up your core, and approach this practice with curiosity. A couple of firm blocks might help you find your handstand straddle, but whether you lift-off or stay right-side-up today, we're going to move, breathe, work and have some fun! You can expect lots of creative and powerful core strengthening mixed into our flow, an exploration of dolphin pose with the option for forearm stand, lots of inner thigh and outer hip engagement, frog hops, and a possible handstand straddle.

Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, he who blesses new beginnings! Our connection to the tribe, our ancestors, and our special memories. This is the theme we work with as we make Ganesha shapes in this grounding, freeing, hip-opening flow that includes elephant-inspired tree pose variations, funky elephant chairs that might lead to flying pigeon and many opportunities to create your own trunk! Open to the possibilities and stay playful, friends!

A truly gentle, restorative practice for mamas (or anyone!) who needs some love, nurturing and calming! The hips, hamstrings and shoulders get lots of attention while you breathe deeply and release tension. Perfect before bed, or anytime you need some grounding.

A perfect, very short practice for days when you're really short on time but want to get in your body, move, breathe, open your hips, hamstrings and shoulders, fire up your core, release anxiety and get back to whatever you're doing with more clarity, ease, focus and peace!

A brief sun salutation warm-up followed by a classic barre. We introduce new combinations, taking the time to explain each exercise. You can expect a lot of attention to foot articulation, position of the hips, and a slow but steady workout.

Happy New Year! New year, new alternate set :) Welcome to the magic garden where you get to weed out what doesn't serve you and nurture the things you want to grow! We did some nice heat-building with Series A and C variations, a chance to play with koundinyasana II, opportunities to root down and reach for the sun with bird of paradise, core work (but of course) backbends, hip and hamstring opening and deep breathing throughout! A little mermaid even showed up! Sending you and yours lots of love and wishes for a very Happy New Year where we spend lots of time together playing in the Magic Garden! So grateful to be on this journey with all of you!!

Be Where You Are. Love Who You Are. Being present is extremely elusive. We have brief glimpses of it, like looking at stars in a dark sky. Eventually our mind is focusing on the past or future, and the moment of NOW is lost. Can you be exactly where you are with acceptance? Can you be compassionate with yourself when you fall and pick yourself up? We will explore these themes of patience, presence and curiosity as we move into this hour long practice together. Be easy with yourself. You may lose your balance and/or your focus. Know that you can always find your way back to presence and self-acceptance. Love and Peace to all, E.

A mix of feel-good movements, as well a bit of core strengthening and balance work to make sure you're not getting soft ;) Enjoy!

Fun with eagle pose! Get ready to open your outer hips with all kinds of eagle variations, maybe even in places you wouldn't expect like side plank! Opening the outer hips creates freedom in the low back and eagle pose is a wonderful way to explore the bandhas, open your chest and upper back, in addition to the hamstrings, hips and quads! Of course there are also options to play with eagle in forearm stand and handstand. If you're short on time but high on energy, this is for you!
