It's one thing to build core strength. It's another to learn how to engage your core in order to access the strength you've built. This practice will help you do exactly that. There's a little press handstand tutorial mixed in for those of you who want to work on that. You may just amaze yourself by what you're able to accomplish... enjoy!

This is a workshop-style class designed for people who have a hard time hingeing at the hips, holding down dog with straight arms and a long spine, coming up to a halfway lift with a flat back, and generally finding freedom in the spine (and often the shoulders and hamstrings as well) as they flow. This is the kind of session that will make such a huge difference if you make it part of your regular rotation. Two blocks and some kind of pole (broomstick or anything along those lines) are needed. Enjoy, yogis!

A short and sweet practice to get your mind and body warmed up and ready for action... enjoy! *Beginners' note: when we get to the option on the floor to have your foot on your inner thigh, or to sit on your heel, please keep your foot on your inner thigh :)

I filmed this for you on a day when I am a little depleted. I've been fighting something for a few days and wanted to give you a practice for days like this, too! This is a slow, mindful practice with long holds and deep, conscious breath. We open the hips, hamstrings and shoulders. There is s standing sequence and some standing balance, and lots of nice, juicy stretching on the floor. This is great as an evening practice after a long day, for anytime you're feeling anxious, it's a sweet practice when you're on your cycle, but it's also great for any time you need something nurturing, grounding, and deep. You may want a block or two, and you may benefit from a strap. Enjoy, yogis.

If you're in need of a bit of recharging and restoration, this practice is just what the doctor ordered. With a little bit of core activation and some nice hip, hamstring and shoulder opening, you will be sure to come away from this one feeling rejuvenated and ready for whatever life throws your way... Enjoy!

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!

Enjoy this short, sweet yoga flow free of any chaturangas! Move, breathe and sweat with me in a way that doesn’t aggravate existing joint issues.

A slow, gentle restorative practice to help you loosen up your hips and lower back and calm your mind and nervous system. Please note, if you have any knee issues, threading the needle on your back instead of some of the half-lotus and reclining gomukhasana options may be better for you. Golden rule, it shouldn't hurt... enjoy, yogis :)
