Balance out the intensity of boxing and kickboxing with a well-rounded short but sweet yoga practice that addresses the areas most impacted by hitting a bag, or getting hit by another boxer. You're getting plenty of yang, balance yourself out with some yin ;)

A perfect practice when you're short on time and really need some grounding, nervous system regulation, conscious breath, gentle movement to open the hips, hamstrings and shoulders, a little alternate nostril breathing, and the chance to chill, deeply. A blanket may be helpful for your seated forward bend.

Rainy days have their own vibes, don't they, friends? There's something cozy about being inside, on your mat, as the rain falls and your breath flows. This is a slow, sweet, stretchy practice that opens the shoulders, hips and hamstrings deeply, and really gives you the chance to feel your way into every moment. You might even walk away from your mat feeling a little sunshine in your heart. Two blocks and a strap may be helpful. Enjoy!

We start out with some grounding and breathing, a few minutes to "arrive" in the body and connect to sensation. We move into a slow and steady flow, and then a standing sequence that is foundational, with long holds so you can feel your way in and stay curious. We build enough heat to get to the floor and deeply open the hips, shoulders, and hamstrings. Please be sure to have two blocks and a strap handy. There are options for everything, and building blocks as well. Hip opening includes double pigeon, gomukhasana, and half lotus variations if appropriate, or knee-friendly poses if not. You may want the strap for shoulder opening or for some of the wraps. This practice is designed to calm your nervous system and open every major muscle group, deeply. Lots of love xx

I'm labeling this an intermediate class because I did not spend much time talking about alignment, so if you are newer, a beginner class will be better for you! Having said that, for those of you with an established practice, this is a foundational, steady session with longer holds and lots of time to breathe. It is a perfect end-of-day class you can even do in your pajamas right before bed like I did, it is not a sweaty flow (I know I used the word flow in the little introduction, forgive me). This practice is about calming the nervous system, and is good for any time you're feeling anxiety or depression, a loss of control, or just need to get in your body and breathe. Sending lots of love to all x

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!

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!

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.

A full body yoga flow including lots of twists and balancing postures. This sequence encourages us to be in the here and now with the breath and the moment, helping us to pick our battles more wisely.

A medium intensity practice to help you build core strength and explore the range of motion of your hips and hamstrings. Enjoy!
