When you have an hour and want to deeply release your shoulders and hips, strengthen your core and turn your world upside down!

This class is a response to two similar requests, one for a practice that would help if you're moving through grief, and another from someone who wanted a session to help when she's feeling "triggered AF." In all reality, every one of us will experience both of these big feelings (and a whole bunch more), so it's good to develop the tools that can help us navigate these waters with a little more grace and ease. It might seem funny that one class could be an answer to two very different kinds of feelings (deep longing, sadness, loss...and on the other hand, feelings of frustration or rage), but in truth, the same kinds of tools work for both of these, and ANY big feelings we face as human beings. It isn't all going to be pretty or easy, but this is why we practice, so we have solid emotional ground to stand on when it feels like the ground is falling out from underneath us. Expect some serious stretching for your quadriceps, hamstrings and shoulders. Deep core work, and a little "L" drill at the wall. This is all about calming your nervous system, but in order to practice, I had to give you some big sensations to work with. Lots of love, yogis!

The pace is steady, and good for days when you have a nice amount of energy. Maybe not your most energetic, but you're ready to move and open to the idea that if you start moving, you might find you have more energy than you think! The hips get extra love with yogic squat reps and other fun, and you can also count on upper back and shoulder opening. Enjoy!

This is an advanced flow where we focus on finding freedom in the upper back, across the chest and in the shoulders so we can explore some deeper backbends including viparita dandasana. If you're experiencing tightness in your upper back, across your chest or in your shoulders, if you feel you may be carrying tension or that your breath is not flowing as freely as it might, if you have been feeling a little blue...this practice is an opportunity to open your heart and trust your process! You may want a strap and a couple of blocks along the way. Please listen to your body - you cannot force heart opening!

Yogis, this is an hour-long energizing flow full of twists, turns, and lots of prep for heart-opening. Your shoulders get extra love, and you have options for all kinds of deep hip opening, too. Expect to see eagles, monkeys, camels and happy cows along the way. Core strengthening to keep you centered and the inspiration to tune in to find what you're looking for!

Short on time but wanting something freeing, opening and energizing? Here you go! Lots of front-body opening, love for your quads, hips, hamstrings and spine, twists to wring yourself out, core strengthening, optional handstands if you want to turn your world upside down, a fun camel pose flow, and all in all a very well-rounded flow in just under 25 minutes! Enjoy yogis!

A playful and creative flow targeting back-bending! Intentional sequencing so we open the shoulders, chest, upper back, quadriceps and psoas along with the hamstrings. Of course we'll strengthen the core so you feel centered and your spine is supported as we open. Options for arm balances and inversions along the way to that beautiful, open heart!
