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

Ready for a festival of lights on your mat? The triumph of light over darkness and insight over ignorance. Good stuff! Get ready for lots of breath-work, and some fun explorations with forearm stand and hollowback stag pose (maybe at the wall)!

Hello friends! If you're looking for a full-body flow in a shorter amount of time with extra love for your hips, look no further! The hamstrings and shoulders get lets of attention, too, and we fire up the core nicely. You'll walk away from your mat feeling grounded and open. Hip Happy Day to You!

If you're looking for a deep reset right now, look no further. This practice begins with grounding and centering techniques and a short talk about the power of your inner voice and why it matters. We move into a flow that targets deep opening for the hips, shoulders, hamstrings and quads. There's core strengthening (but of course) and inversion playtime on your mat or at the wall. Building blocks for moving into handstand with two legs, and exploration of the wide straddle in your handstand are also included. We end with Yoga Nidra in Savasana. Take a little time to come back to center, we could all use that right now <3

Hello friends! In this flow we're going to work toward twisting half moon in all kinds of creative and meaningful ways. Count on lots of twists, IT band opening, and love for your outer-hips along the way. You'll also find some fiery ab work in forearm plank and other juicy surprises. Grab two blocks and let's start the party!

A classic 90-minute flow where we go deep into the hips, hamstrings, quadriceps and shoulders. Peak poses include monkey pose, a variation of one-legged king-pigeon, and forearm stand. Lots of grounding and breath-work throughout. Yoga Nidra in savasana.

Hello yogis! If you're looking for a classic 90-minute flow where we go deep and open up, look no further! The hips, hamstrings, shoulders and core get a lot of attention! This is an energizing flow where we're going to build lots of heat and play with some arm balances and inversions including bhujapidasana, firefly pose and wide-straddle handstand. As always, I will offer tons of options and building blocks so everyone will have choices. The theme of this class is cultivating kindness. We need that desperately right now. Please make that your priority along with deep breathing, and let the rest of it unfold.

We start with grounding techniques and breath-work and you might think you're heading into a slow and steady class, but you are not! This is a flow intended to energize and open you once you're grounded, awake and present. We'll be doing chaturanga push-ups, standing frog reps, core work, fallen-triangle to flipped-out dog sequences and so much more. Arm balances and inversions and backbends, and then some nice hip-and-hamstring poses with longer holds to use the heat to release tension. If you want something fun and powerful in under an hour that is both grounding and energizing, here you go!

A classic, 90-minute practice where we have the time to go deep. Grounding at the beginning of practice, breath work, and a steady mix of intensity alongside long holds throughout the practice. You'll experience sequences that raise your heart rate (think yoga sculpt) and sequences where we use the heat to deeply open, breathe and feel our feelings. There is core work and we do play with inversions. There are froggy hop drills you can practice at the wall. I really wanted to juxtapose grounding and flying throughout the practice so it becomes clear if you want to fly, you have to have a very strong foundation. Enjoy, yogis!

We're moving toward Lord of the Dance pose so you can count on lots of shoulder, chest, upper back and quadriceps opening along with twists and forward folds to keep us centered. Monkey pose makes an appearance and you may decide to explore that pose in forearm stand as well. One-legged King Pigeon Pose II is a potential stop on this journey, so you may want to grab a strap. Keep breathing and keep moving (heart) forward!

Hello friends, if you are craving a practice that will deeply open your shoulders, chest, upper back and quadriceps so you can find freedom in those areas and explore backbends...along with some deep hip-and-hamstring opening once you're warm, this is for you! You can count on core strengthening and inversions as well, along with mindful breathing and grounding.
