The pace is slow and steady, but we go deep. You'll want a nice amount of energy for this one as we build heat and head into the upper back and chest with intention and focus, and give attention to the hamstrings and back-body as well so you leave your mat feeling centered and balanced. We work our way toward forearm stand, so please have a strap and block handy. The conversation is about releasing the picture in your head of How Things Should Be, and opening your heart to how things are. Sometimes you have to release one vision to make space for the adventure life has in store for you, which takes trust and bravery. Ready to open?

By request, here is a flow for you mamas in the homestretch of your pregnancy, a time when you want to ease up on inverting and get that baby headed into ready position! LOTS of squatting (we'll be resting in malasana instead of down dog), and we'll open those hips from every direction. Hamstrings and quads get lots of love, too, with nice plié squats (you may not be calling them "nice" while we do them, and you may want a chair handy if balance has become an issue :)). Camel pose opens the heart and it's great if you have a block and a bolster ready for savasana, or you can use a couch pillow, too! Wishing you and your baby the very best! P.S. This is also a great practice for when you have a headache and don't want to send the blood rushing to your cranium ;)

Don't let fear stop you from saying the things that need to be said, and doing the things that need to be done. Stoke your inner flame, and think alchemy: How can I transform intense feelings into productive action? We open the hips, hamstrings, and heart, fire up the core, play with arm balances and inversions, and move right into that fire. Ready? Time to root down and rise up.

A well-rounded class with heart opening, hip opening and a focus on core strength and breath connection. We will play with forearm stand starting from dolphin pose setting up the building blocks to Pincha Mayurasana. Challenge your limits a bit if you can but most importantly breathe and stay present so you can enjoy the benefits of the mind body connection we work on together.

Today’s class is all about building heat to open the side body. Since we don’t stretch our side body nearly enough this should feel pretty good! What to expect: Warrior 2, Side Angle Warrior with variations to work your side body, Skandasana to open your hips, One legged crow, malasana, Gate Pose, Baby Visvamitrasana, Crescent Pose, Exalted Crescent, Triangle with a special side body stretching variation and handstands sprinkled throughout of course! Enjoy!!!

If you're looking for fun, I've got you covered! An energetic flow that focuses on hip and hamstring opening and core strengthening so we can play with pretty insects like firefly and dragonfly and also handstand wide-straddles! Lots of heat-building and core strengthening, but don't worry, there's a nice amount of deep, stretchy cool-down, too.
