Deep hips and shoulders, core strengthening, heart opening, inversions and lots of fun as we work around the theme of not taking things personally.

Do you ever have days when you want a nice mix of heat-building and heart-pumping with long holds and deep breathing? Me, too! This is a bit of a yin-yang practice, where we have moments of intensity interspersed with moments where we are still and steady and breathing deeply. I think you'll like it. Grab a couple of blocks, and let's have some fun.

If you need some serious decompression, this is for you. We start with grounding, diving right into awareness of sensation. You will want to have a blanket and a couple of blocks handy, and if you have a bolster or a firm couch pillow, please grab that, too. This practice is a nervous system reset, we do a lot of breath-work including alternate nostril breathing, but it's also a yin-style practice with deep hip and hamstring opening and love for your shoulders, chest and upper back. Perfect for evening, or for anytime you are longing for deep nurturing relaxation.

This is an "energizer" class where we get things moving with a special emphasis on the hips! It's a feel-good flow for days when you have half the time but want twice the joy :)

This is an all-over feel-good flow with some extra love for the hips, and an opportunity for some nice deep heart-opening if it feels right today. Two blocks may be helpful. There will be twists and turns along the way. Please allow this to be time for you to get centered, breathe deeply, and see what you need.

Hello friends! This is a classic intermediate 90-minute flow class with an emphasis on hip-opening while working with the concept of ahimsa. Ahimsa is one of the five Yamas and it is the practice of nonviolence. Most yogis will get behind the idea of trying to be kind as you move through the world, but what about the quality of your inner dialogue? What about your expectations of yourself each day in a world that is presenting lots of challenges? Are they realistic expectations, or are you setting yourself up? Grab a couple of blocks, and maybe your dog, cat, goldfish or ferret, and let's play. Rufus my new rescue dog is learning how to be in the room during yoga. He's a puppy, but he's doing pretty well. Mostly. Enjoy!

Hello yogis! Grab a couple of blocks and maybe a blanket, and let's activate the 2nd and 3rd chakra powers! This is an energizing, creative flow with deep core connection and strengthening, possibly leading to a playful transition from Koundinyasana 2 into Ganda Bherundasana. Good times. Enjoy!

A class for days when you want a full-body practice in half the time. We start by getting grounded and tuning into the breath, and then we open the shoulders, hips and hamstrings. Deep core-work to support the spine, and backbends to send you into the day with your heart wide open. Two blocks and a strap may be helpful if cow face pose is challenging.

Hey yogis, would you like to have some fun? Wouldn't that be nice? Let's do it! Grab a couple of blocks and get ready for this juicy, hip-opening flow that is all about being playful. There are a lot of opportunities to get upside down - handstand, headstand, and Pincha, and fun arm balances like crow and flying pigeon. There's sneaky core work and creative transitions that will have you flying or at least giggling as you try. Take what feels right for today and leave the rest, you can always do this practice more than once! Let's just have some fun and see what happens, shall we? That's always the best approach :)

Perfect for days when you don't have a lot of time but want to get the energy moving! This short practice still packs a punch if you're looking to quiet your mind, slow down your breathing, and open the shoulders, hips and hamstrings. It's a full-body flow in a third of the time, but you'll walk away from your mat feeling grounded and open!

This is a fierce flow designed to get the energy moving, open the shoulders, hips, hamstrings and upper back, strengthen the core, and prepare for arm balances and inversions including bhujapidasana and gandha berundanasana. Hips, backbends, inversions, and arm balances leading into juicy hip, hamstring and shoulder opening. Enjoy, yogis! Remember you can download classes on the apps to watch offline if you're traveling or heading anywhere with spotty service!
