I said this would be short, but once I got going it felt so good, I kept going, so this is an hour-long flow. Sorry not sorry :) This is a flow to release your hips, hamstrings, psoas and IT bands which will feel great for everyone, and (bonus!) ought to help anyone after a long day of travel, after a run, or a long hike - or anyone who might be dealing with a little sciatic pain. I felt 95% better after this. Don't let the slower start fool you. We spend the first 15 minutes on the floor releasing the hips and hamstrings in a targeted, progressive way, then we move into some intense core work, surprise! Then we get moving with a fun, heat-building flow, and end with arm balances, backbends, and more hip and hamstring opening. You may benefit from a strap and blanket, you will want a couple of blocks. Enjoy, yogis!

This well-rounded flow invites you to honor where you are in the moment, and cultivate patience with the ups and downs of practice...and life. You can expect a gentle warm up, sun salutations, a dynamic flowing sequence, core work, hip opening, heart opening, spinal twists, and savasana. Enjoy, yogis!

Enjoy a well-rounded flow that focuses on embracing the present moment as the ultimate fresh start. What to expect: a gentle warm up, sun salutations, standing poses, arm balancing, core strengthening, and heart and hip opening, with a friendly reminder that every breath offers a new beginning. (This was filmed the week before the wildfires, thus the upbeat tone and theme. Though we will need to begin again and again out here, no doubt. Love to all xx)

A short, sweet, and strong practice for when you're really short on time, but want to reset physically and mentally. Breathe, strengthen and recharge now!

Hips, hamstrings and wide open backbends, anyone? Grab two blocks and a strap, and get ready to play. Arm balances, a little chin stand if you dig it, and some deep, delicious backbends for the win. Enjoy, yogis!

Need a shorter practice but want it all? I feel you! This is a full-body flow with lots of deep breathing and hip, hamstring and shoulder-opening. Core strengthening - but of course - a little arm balancing, back-bending and some deep stretching before savasana. Walk away from your mat feeling grounded, with a quiet mind, open heart, and free flow of breath and energy. Guaranteed goodness, enjoy yogis! A couple of blocks may be helpful if you need them to "lift the floor up" :)

Hello friends! Join Kate for a beautiful flow that targets front-body opening, but also balances that energy with love for your hamstrings and core strengthening, so you walk away feeling centered, energized and ready to face the world with your wide-open heart. Good stuff.

Sometimes you can do more than you think, other times you can't quite do as much as you hope. The important thing is simply to do the best you can. This practice aims to help you explore what might be possible for you today... Enjoy!

When you want it all but you're short on time, look no further! A complete flow, fast! Hips, shoulders, hamstrings, core, twists, standing balance, arm balance, backbends, inversions? Yes? Yes!

Hello yogis! Welcome to your practice today :) I said this would be a very quick flow and then I went for an hour because it felt so good! We build some nice heat on the front end of this flow, and use that heat to deeply open the hips and hamstrings. We fire up the core and play with standing marichyasana, crow pose and firefly pose. We do some nice backbends, and end with some sweet hip and hamstring opening. You are the expert on you! Only you know exactly what you need and what feels right for today. Also a gentle reminder that while you are the expert on you, you are not the expert on anyone else ;) Enjoy, yogis!
