Feeling like your shoulders could use a little love? This practice starts with a slow, mindful exploration of your shoulder mobility, and moves into a handful of more challenging movements to help you build strength... enjoy!

This is a super gentle practice for days when you just want to stretch, release and open. Maybe you're feeling low energy, you might be on your cycle or fighting a cold or just needing a practice that's all about nurturing yourself and calming your nervous system. Lots of deep, mindful breathing, just enough slow flow to approach the shoulders, hips and hamstrings with the desire to release any tension - physical or emotional. We end with a soothing meditation. Be gentle with yourself. Sending you love, yogis.

A gentle practice designed to help you connect with the five layers of your being, also known as your koshas. Not sure what those are? This practice is a great way to learn... enjoy!

You are a powerful creator of your own experience. What do you want to create with this practice? This is a mobility flow -no direct core work, no inversions, we're focused on mobility! This means we'll be building heat and doing LOTS of hip, hamstring and shoulder-opening, while giving lots of love to your spine. Please don't force a thing, work with your body to create space, there's no rush. Enjoy yogis! You might want to have a couple of blocks and a blanket handy.

This practice is all about breathing through intense sensation. This is the way we practice for breathing through intense emotion, including grief, loss, longing, the fear that can arise around change, and all the other "big" feelings we go through as human beings. The pace is mindful and steady and you can expect long holds in some poses so we can practice breathing and staying open even as we're experiencing some of those big feelings! Lots of hip-opening once we're warm - standing frog variations lead to frog on the mat, along with options for intermediate to very advanced hip openers (please listen to your knees and do not do anything that hurts!) This class was in response to a request - please know I LOVE requests! Enjoy, yogis, and keep breathing.

This is a heat-building flow with lots of breath-work to both ground you and open you. Lots of creative reps and variations in places you wouldn't expect them, hip opening and heart opening galore. Enjoy, yogis!

In a perfect world, a backbend creates a perfect arc that opens the front body without any compression to the spine. A fitness ball gives you the support and feedback to create that arc, for a more spacious backbend with much greater ease. If you struggle to get your wheel up off the ground, the ball is a great way to build strength with the ball beneath as a safety net. OR skip it and stay in the yummy, supported extended bridge. Wait for the ball under your belly for the easiest plank of your life. And stay for the sweet savasana with legs on the ball.

What we do on those mornings when we're only going to get 10 minutes to get centered and ready for the day! Sun salutes with variations that include high lunge variations, warriors 1,2 and 3, extended side angle and extended triangle pose, all within a flow that will get your heart pumping, get you breathing deeply and send you out into the day feeling centered, grounded and energized! (And we hope you come back for a longer practice later in the day! ;))

This is an all-levels class where beginners are welcome and experienced yogis will also get a deep and mindful practice. Some poses will feel wonderful and others may bring up resistance. Resistance often happens when we approach a place where we carry tension, whether it's physical or emotional. Resistance is different from pain. If you experience pain, that is a signal to back off, use props or modify in order to find a variation of the pose that works for your body so you can breathe deeply. Resistance is the emotion that might creep up if you find yourself in a shape that offers you the opportunity to soften and unwind. Sometimes we're scared to let go. See if you can breathe deeply into any resistance and give your body the chance to release so you create the space to receive.
