A beautiful hip opener and release for the low back if your knees allow. Have a block and/or some blankets handy if possible. If you feel any strain in your knees at all, please go to the pose, "Thread the Needle".
Here are some classes featuring Fire Log Pose.

If you're looking for an energizing, creative flow with a sprinkling of yoga sculpt here and there, tons of hip opening and core strengthening, and some fun with finding bandhas in your handstands, then you've come to the right class :) Intermediate students are welcome, I ALWAYS offer building blocks and variations, just please make sure you listen to your body and work smart! Enjoy yogis!

This is a steady, heat-building flow where we go deeper and deeper into the hips but we keep it casual. We're not trying to get anywhere, we're just enjoying the experience of practicing together, listening intently to what our bodies have to tell us, and seeing what unfolds. This is an intermediate flow, but we do play with some advanced poses without any pressure whatsoever, and with modifications offered so you can turn the heat up or down!

A post-run stretch designed to let you make it a shorter (20 min) or longer (40 min) stretch session depending on your preference. We spend plenty of time on the hips and hamstrings with lots of forward folds and pigeon variations, and there are options for a deep psoas stretch, an extra dose of hip opening and a restorative backbend if you have the time. Enjoy, yogis runners!

The pace is slow and steady so there's plenty of time to feel things deeply. This is a great practice if you're looking for something to help you hone your focus, breathe with intention, and open every major muscle group. There is core strengthening and there are opportunities for arm balances and inversions, but you are also welcome to turn the heat down if you need to! Enjoy, yogis! And apologies for the unedited beginning where we are joking around, but I figure a little behind-the scenes once in awhile is okay and this was the last class we filmed before the pandemic so I couldn't bear to delete it! :)

In the class we target the hips and hamstrings, these are the areas we tend to store stress and tension and it can be difficult to get into the fascia and smaller muscles around theses areas , so prepare to breathe deeply and let go of this unnecessary tension! You will feel amazing when you do!

A deep investigation of the hips - how to open them, how to relieve pain in them and most importantly, how to make them more mobile. Enjoy!

This flow class is interspersed with stretches to open the hips. We move from gentle stretches, on our backs, to stronger weight-bearing hip stretches like pigeon and double pigeon. Enjoy.

A sweaty class with a lot of core strength work and an emphasis on working on your own experience and with your own challenges. Down dog or child’s pose? Both are the right answer, but there are plenty of opportunities here to work hard with a dancing warrior flow and arm balance opportunities. There’s also a long, sweet and relaxing end to class with a triple dose of hip opening featuring janu sirsasana, double pigeon, and baddha konasana, as well as some heart opening opportunities with back bends and twists.

"Om Mani Padme Hum" to grow and advance individually as well as collectively. Get the breath and blood moving with a Kundalini warm-up to this lotus flow geared towards generous hip opening with the support of a strong center. Weave your way through the standing flow while you wrap your arms around yourself into binding variations that eventually unravel into "Soldier of Love" and a balancing variation of Surya Yantrasana.

Wring yourself out physically and mentally, open up your shoulders, upper back, hamstrings and hips, and fire up your core. Play on your hands and enjoy Savasana!
