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

Short on time? One of those days where you’re spinning or spiraling mentally? Hit the pause button, grab your mat, and let’s get breathing and moving for a few minutes. Just enough to get you out of your head and into your body, to breathe deeply, to open up physically, and to head back into your day (or night), with more clarity, ease and connection. Thanks, yoga!

Sutra 2:33 - Vitarka Bhadhane Pratipaksa Bhavanam "When disturbed by negative thoughts, opposite (positive) ones should be thought of." Cultivate the power to turn things around and choose light over darkness. This sequence centers around a study in asymmetry, and the ability to stabilize in uneven or unbalanced positions. Some of the maha moments include tree in half lotus, an asymmetrical variation of Dwi Pada Koundinyasana and Vishvamitrasana. Flip your script yogis, namaste!

30 Mellow-ish Minutes to an Open Heart Great for days when you have a moderate amount of energy (it didn't end up being as mellow as I promised in the intro, but still not an a$$-whooper). Major shoulder, upper back and heart opening, complemented by hamstring and back body opening. Lots of cat/cow variations get us nice and loose and create a free flow of energy. You decide if you want to do restorative or active backbends (I did restorative and two blocks are helpful in that case). A very yummy flow that will leave you feeling great in a short amount of time!

A little description of what this latest Yoga for Busy Moms Series is all about! I designed these sessions so you could do them in order for days when you have the time (and hopefully those are the majority of the days :)), but I also understand as a mom of two, a business owner, and a human being who's trying to show up for herself and all the people in her life with the best I have to offer, sometimes you have to take what you can get! So I designed these so you could do any or all of them as stand-alone sessions :) Much love to you, mamas.

Just sun salutes and a quick pigeon pose! This is what I do on days when I'm totally pressed for time! You can do it as a stand-alone, or as part of this whole new series, whatever works, mama!

Just standing poses! Whether you're taking this session as part of the whole series, or doing it as a stand-alone, take this time to connect to your breath, and get comfortable standing on your own two feet. Sometimes when we spend much of our time caring for our little people, we forget that we have an identity of our own! Come to center and remember who you are, that way you're showing them what it looks like to be inspired and in touch with the truest part of yourself!

Backbends and Core! If you're doing this as part of the whole practice, then you're warm enough to pick active backbends if you want them, otherwise, please do restorative backbends (options provided, 2 blocks are helpful!) Then we're going to fire up the core, oh joy! Nothing like a fire in the belly when you have little people counting on you, and a desire to show up for yourself and for them with the best you have to offer!

Dessert! Hips, Hamstrings and Savasana. If you're building your own flow today, this is the chill part! Can be done as a stand-alone for a yin session if you're in need of something restorative and chill, or you can do it as part of the whole practice. Much love, mamas!

Awaken your spine, sharpen your focus, sync up your breath, strengthen your core, open your hips, hamstrings, shoulders and upper back, wring yourself out, and enjoy a deep savasana! BAM.

Dive deep into your hips in this strong flow practice! Get ready to sweat, flow, move and stretch. Lots of challenging poses are explored like crow, tripod, kukkutasana, handstand and side plank variations! Double pigeon tops off our hip release and prepares you for a relaxing savasana. Enjoy!
