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

Here is a go-to practice for days when you're short on time but know you'll feel so much better if you breathe deeply and open every major muscle group! Everything flows better when you flow first ;)

The focus of this flow class is the core and twists. We do some stretching and strengthening on the floor, moving up to the feet. Once standing we do a few rounds of Uddiyana Bandha, a navel lock. This is great for discovering and toning the core. Next we flow with some sun salutations, a bit more core work and standing poses. We breathe our way toward some arm balances as an extension of base poses. Even if you don't get up in bakasana or revolved koundinyasana, you will be setting the foundation for them with squats and twists. Enjoy!

A perfect practice when you want to slow down, center yourself, and release tension from the shoulders, chest and upper back. The hips and hamstrings get plenty of love, but this practice is shoulder-focused. Deep, mindful breathing, longer holds. Inversions. Two blocks may be helpful. Guided meditation at the end. Treat this practice as a conversation you're having with your body, where the main question from moment-to-moment is, "Does this feel right?" Enjoy yogis!

Oh, hello there! Were you looking for an energizing, heat-building flow that would get your heart-pumping and open up every major muscle group with special attention on your hips, hamstrings and shoulders? Did I say hips? Did you want something extra to fire up your core and leave you feeling amazing when you're in savasana? Well, then, you've come to the right place! Woot!

Perfect for days when you want to build some good heat, increase your energy, open deeply and release tension from every major muscle group! We do some extra fiery core and play with handstands if you're feeling it! A sweet cool-down leads us into a delightful savasana. Enjoy, yogis!

If you want anything to operate optimally, you have to give it some attention, right? In many ways, we have all these expectations of our bodies...we want the body to do what we want it to do when we want it to do it! This practice is all about checking in and giving all of your major muscle groups some attention and love, along with your spinal health, your nervous system and your emotional body, too! We work at a steady, mindful pace, you are going to sweat (I snuck in a little yoga sculpt, you're welcome ;)), we will deeply open the hips, hamstrings and shoulders and fire up the core, you will have opportunities to explore some more advanced poses if that feels right, you can decide to play on your hands and upside down ... but more than all of that, you'll have the chance to be in a respectful, compassionate partnership with your body!

Yogis, if you're looking to shift your perspective, please grab two blocks and follow me! We're going to deeply open the hips, shoulders and hamstrings so we can play with arm balances including koundinyasana 2 and inversions including many different headstand variations (please be sure your neck feels good and you have a long-term headstand practice if you do the variations!) Enjoy!

Bonjour, yogis! Can you hear those French birds chirping? Filmed in this beautiful garden in the French countryside of Hodent, this is a very short, grounding practice perfect for anytime you need a reset! We start with a little meditation to get grounded and move into some spinal awakening, a nice release for your shoulders, neck and upper back, deep breathing and then love for your hips, quads and hamstrings. If you've been sitting too long, if it's one of those days when you're starting to wonder how you're going to find the time to take care of yourself, fear not. C'est si bon!
