Need a shorter practice but want it all? I feel you! This is a full-body flow with lots of deep breathing and hip, hamstring and shoulder-opening. Core strengthening - but of course - a little arm balancing, back-bending and some deep stretching before savasana. Walk away from your mat feeling grounded, with a quiet mind, open heart, and free flow of breath and energy. Guaranteed goodness, enjoy yogis! A couple of blocks may be helpful if you need them to "lift the floor up" :)

Hello yogis! This class is all about side body length and strength as we head toward visvamitrasana (or the building blocks that fell right for you today!) Please grab two blocks, a strap and your open mind, and let's have some fun!

Do you need some serious nervous system decompression and a really deep stretch? Well, look no further because that's what we're doing in this session that is all about hip, hamstring and shoulder opening along with conscious breath and moment-to-moment curiosity about sensation. You may want props - a blanket for some of the hip and hamstring opening, a strap if you want to use it for bound angle in savanna, and a couple of blocks in case you need to "lift the floor up" - but you may not need them. This is a great practice for evening, before bed, or anytime you want to get really grounded.

The more you breathe, the better you're going to feel. That is the focus in this sweaty, heat-building, core-strengthening, arm-balancing and mindful flow where we get upside down, open everything up and play with lots of fun poses like lotus if that's approachable for you, firefly pose and bhujapidasana, crow pose, tripod headstand, handstand and more. This is an all-over feel good flow with an emphasis on hip-opening and focus. Enjoy! (2 blocks may be helpful, along with a bolster or firm couch pillow :))

A fun, energizing, hip-opening flow with core strengthening, and plenty of shoulder and hamstring opening as well! Enjoy, yogis!

This is a practice for times you're dealing with lower-body injuries, such as a broken ankle or toe and need a practice where you will sweet and breathe, but stay off your feet! It's also a great practice when you're looking for a little targeted yoga sculpt, even if you aren't injured. The heat building happens in the upper body with multiple cat-cow variations, cobra push-ups on our knees, and the addition of light weights (a soup can or water bottle will do), along with core work on the back. We use the heat to open the shoulders, chest, upper back, hips and hamstrings. Dealing with injuries can be frustrating, or you can use it as a chance to get creative :)

This is a balanced practice, with flow. We start slowly, stretching and engaging in core work. Emphasis on the hips and inner groins. Once on our feet we move into sun salutations, incorporating standing poses and twists. I sprinkle in side arm balance and half moon pose, to challenge strength and balance. We finish with backbends and the option for shoulder stand or a modified inversion, before savasana. Enjoy! Lauren

When you want it all but you're short on time, look no further! A complete flow, fast! Hips, shoulders, hamstrings, core, twists, standing balance, arm balance, backbends, inversions? Yes? Yes!

Well hello there! I filmed this class for y'all and filmed it live on the YA Practice Page at the same time, so welcome to a little behind-the-scenes fun :) This is a 30-minute hips-and-core flow by request! (It's actually 37 minutes, but I promise it is 37 minutes PACKED full of hip-opening, heat-building, core-strengthening, arm-balancing FUN, with requests from Paige, Katie and Andy that made it that much better!) You might want 2 blocks, and you might like a strap, too! Savasana will be sweet, I promise. Enjoy, yogis!

Hello friends, this is an hour-long deep chill, deep stretch session for days (or evenings) when you need a nervous system reset and some serious opening. We start with grounding and alternate nostril breathing, warm up the spine, and strengthen the core just enough that we're feeling centered. Then it's all about deep breathing, deep stretching and long holds so the muscle and fascia around the joints can start to release. You can feel the layers of tension melt away as you breathe. Stay focused and curious and I guarantee you'll have a deep and meaningful practice. 2 blocks, a bolster, a blanket and a strap may come in handy or you might not need any props at all.
