Get ready to get centered! Please grab two blocks and a blanket and give yourself an hour to explore strength in your center as we move, breathe and flow, play with arm balances including side crow and koundinyasana 2, and end with some funky and fun headstand variations for those of you with a solid headstand practice. Please note, if you have any neck issues going on today, save this practice for another day!

This is a fun, creative, twisty, energizing flow where we play with our friend Garuda in all kinds of ways! Expect shoulder, upper back and chest opening. Expect tons of love for your hamstrings and a visit from a special monkey! Expect to fire up your core so we can explore side crow (and I have you covered if it's hard for you!), eka pada koundinyasana 1, dwi panda, handstands with monkey and eagle variations, and a guided meditation at the end, along with a very quick story about Garuda, the gods, his mother and a snakepit! The moral of this story is you're going to feel great, and remember not to shrink yourself for anyone! Enjoy yogis! This is an advanced practice but I gave building blocks for everything, so intermediate yogis are welcome and encouraged!

Feeling like your core could use a little tightening up? With a variety of standing, reclining, prone and balancing postures all focused on core strengthening, this practice is just what the doctor ordered... enjoy!

This is an energizing flow with core strengthening and twisting and lots of chances to play on your hands and upside down. Breathe deeply, tune in and enjoy, yogis!

We start with some grounding techniques and move into alternate nostril breathing. Once we're centered and ready to focus, we warm up with Series C variations and core strengthening. We give a lot of love to the hamstrings in this practice (you may want to have a strap handy) and do a lot of hip opening. We play with arm balances that include crow pose, side crow, firefly pose and bhujapidasana. Handstands are our inversion today, and there are building blocks for all levels. We end with some very sweet hip opening and a deep savasana. If you're looking for a mental and physical clearing out, this is for you! This practice is Intermediate/Advanced! Meaning it's an advanced practice but intermediate yogis are totally welcome and variations and building blocks are offered, just please listen to your body! Nothing should hurt.

This is an intermediate-to-advanced energizing flow with lots of heat-building and core strengthening, and twists to open your shoulders, upper back and hamstrings. Arm balances including side crow and inversions including headstands and handstands abound, along with eagles right side up and upside down. If you want to burn through some stress and come out the other side feeling blissful, this is for you!

Well, dang, aren't we dealing with endless twists and turns?!I KNOW it's hard but you know what helps? This! Get on your mat and strengthen your center so that whatever twists and turns are ahead, you're ready for them! You can count on lots of love for your hamstrings, hips and shoulders, core strengthening, and twisty arm balances including eka pada koundinyasana 1 and side crow. Tripod headstand and handstand variations and all kinds of fun. You realize we're getting through it don't you? We're not "going" to get through it, we are currently getting through it. It might not be pretty every minute, but we're doing it, and the more you practice for it, the easier it is! Grab your mat and let's do this together :)

Carve out some time that is just for you. Tune in, wring yourself out, breathe deeply and walk away from your mat feeling energized and open! We build heat with Series C, fire up the legs with crescent variations that lead to twists and eagle pose and eventually take us into side crow, koundinyasana 1 and dwi pada (grab a block if you're working toward side crow). Deep core work along the way, backbends, and then the juicy, stretchy stuff - lizard pose variations, hanumanasana, happy cow face pose and a savasana that is sure to be blissful. Enjoy!

This is a fun heat-building flow with lots of love for your legs! Long holds help to build strength, endurance and belief in yourself. If your legs don't shake at some point, I'll be very surprised! Options for handstands included, and we do break down side crow, but this flow is focused on your legs, not standing on your hands :) Enjoy!
