Oh hi there! If you're looking for a class that's going to open and strengthen every major muscle group, get you breathing deeply and feeling as open and energized as possible, then you've come to the right class! Once we're warm we play with bakasana and tripod headstand, and there are also tips and tools to play with lifting to handstand with both legs together. Enjoy, yogis!

A practice for days when you have a moderate amount of energy but want to open up and breathe deeply. We move at a steady, mindful pace. You can expect to open every major muscle group, to fire up your core, to play with arm balances and inversions, but to do all of that with a calm, cool, curious state of mind and the willingness to turn the heat up or down based on how you feel. Enjoy, yogis!

This is a flow that opens every major muscle group. We start with a little grounding and meditation, and move into a flow that's all about focusing on how you feel from moment-to-moment without attachment or agenda. You can expect lots of spinal mobility, shoulder, chest, upper back, hip and hamstring opening. Standing balance and arm balancing and inverting because nothing makes us focus like a good balance pose, and because they're fun when approached with curiosity. Enjoy, yogis! Being able to focus is not just fun, it's also freeing!

A fun flow where we build heat and deeply open the shoulders, chest, hips and hamstrings and fire up the core so we can safely play with arm balances including crow pose, bhujapidhasana, firefly pose, flying pigeon, and dragonfly! Building blocks included and two actual blocks may be helpful!

Short on time but really need a full-body flow, grounding, centering, deep breathing, energizing, hip-opening, shoulder-relieving, core strengthening, arm-balancing, inverting deep practice? I totally get it. Some days are like that and when I have days where I have less than an hour on my mat, this is the kind of practice I do! Hope you enjoy, yogis!

A continuation of the foundations laid in Core Connection Part I, this practice goes deeper into the hips and hamstrings, and emphasizes back body core strength to help you find your way through both traditional and non-traditional ways into Koundinyasana. Prepare to dig deep... and enjoy!

This is an advanced class with intermediate options offered every step of the way. The most important thing to prioritize is deep and steady breath - that is the key to calming your nervous system and quieting your mind! You will deeply open your shoulders, chest and upper back, your hips, hamstrings and heart. You will fire up your core and play on your hands and upside down. Please listen to your body, choose the options that make sense today, and care for your tender heart. It's not easy right now, and taking care of yourself is key. Love to all xx

An energizing, creative intermediate-to-advanced flow that will get you fired up and grounded simultaneously. This is a full-body vinyasa flow with a little sculpt slipped in along the way, so you can count on strengthening your abs, arms and butt, but also on breathing deeply and consciously. Chances to play on your hands and upside down, and a sweet savasana which you will earn! Enjoy, yogis!

If you're looking fir an hour-long practice that has a good balance of energizing/heat-building and deep stress relief, look no further! We get to it pretty quickly with Series C variations to build heat, core strengthening to amp things up, hip opening to get ready for some fun standing balance poses, and arm balances and backbends before we cool things down. Lots of emphasis on paying attention to sensation and working with your own energy level. You can turn the heat up or down accordingly. This practice is not too much or too little, it is just right :)
