Open your hips from every direction, unlock your shoulders, upper back and neck, stretch your hamstrings, open your heart, and fire up your core before we get on our hands and play. Monkey pose and eagle pose right side up and upside down, and a super sweet savasana, all around the topic of embracing and opening to our inherent vulnerability.

Carve out some time that is just for you. Tune in, wring yourself out, breathe deeply and walk away from your mat feeling energized and open! We build heat with Series C, fire up the legs with crescent variations that lead to twists and eagle pose and eventually take us into side crow, koundinyasana 1 and dwi pada (grab a block if you're working toward side crow). Deep core work along the way, backbends, and then the juicy, stretchy stuff - lizard pose variations, hanumanasana, happy cow face pose and a savasana that is sure to be blissful. Enjoy!

A fun, late summer, hip-opening flow. A little bit of everything in the mix today.

A fun flow where we build lots of heat in the hips and shoulders with flipped out dogs to fallen triangles, sun salute variations, 6-minute abs, standing balance, arm balances including koundinyasana II and flying pigeon, a little camel pose tutorial, and fun in handstands, all with my good friend (and yours) Adam!

We build some nice heat with series C and dive deeply into the hips, shoulders and hamstrings. The flow is full of twists and turns and playful transitions including arm balances and inversions. Pranayama is the focus throughout the class, so if you aren’t ready to breathe deeply, get ready! This is one of the most powerful ways to calm the nervous system and quiet the mind. Backbends, hamstring opening and core strengthening as we flow, and a guided savasana send you floating off your mat.

The pace is slow and steady. We build some nice heat with movements that open the spine, chest and shoulders and then target the hips, psoas, quadriceps, hamstrings and side body. Deep breathing throughout to calm the nervous system with long holds in half lotus variations. Twists to wring yourself out. Please have a block handy especially if you have knee issues. the hip-opening is deep and I want you to please listen to your body! This is a great practice for end-of-day or end-of-week, or for anytime you need to calm and center yourself and get a really deep stretch! Enjoy x

Take some time to breathe and tap into that quiet, knowing part within you. We target the hips, shoulders, hamstrings and core in this flow, and turn things upside down for good measure. Wring yourself out with some twists and head into savasana feeling centered. When you're at home with yourself you can make yourself at home anywhere.

A flowy leg-centric practice that is all about staying centered and strong in the midst of uncertainty and challenge. Deeply open the hamstrings, hips, shoulders and upper back. Wring yourself out with some sweet twists, and work your way toward monkey pose and chin stand. Two blocks will be helpful for many!

Open your hips, shoulders and hamstrings, play with arm balances like koundinyasana 2 and flying pigeon, fire up your core, and take things upside down. Learn to stay focused in a world that is sometimes challenging and sometimes wonderful, but always interesting. This class offers many opportunities to do just that, as you will see :) Much love!

Sometimes you want a little more than a restorative practice, but not quite as much as an all out flow. This practice is for those times. Deep hip and hamstring opening are part of the magic. Breathe slowly, feel deeply and enjoy!

Not too hot, not too cold, this one is just right. The pace is steady, but we don't stop until there's enough heat to go deep! Expect to play with bakasana, baby bakasana, tittibhasana and bhujapidasana along the way, and also included are building blocks for tripod headstand, and wide straddle in a tripod headstand. Core strengthening, and options for deep hip and hamstring opening as we cool down. If you aren't feeling just right in Savasana, let me know in the comments :) And intermediate practitioners, feel free to take class, just have a couple of blocks handy, and listen to your body! Enjoy, yogis!
