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.

A flow to say thank you to the givers. So many of you have been practicing with me for years. Some of you I've gotten to meet in person, like my dear friend Peggy, others I have not. Either way, I want you to know I think about you all the time and appreciate you so much. Peggy is retiring after decades of working, momming and putting her family first. I know so many of us who are always squeezing in time for ourselves and I wanted to say I see you. Congratulations on your retirement, Peggy. May you have time for long practices, good books, and time to put your feet up. This is a slow flow to open the hips, shoulders, hamstrings and heart. Lots of love.

A quick but thorough flow to get things moving and open up the whole body. Particular love for the hips, shoulders and hamstrings. Enjoy when you're short on time but want a full practice!

A sweaty, challenging, super fun flow with Brent, focused on hip mobility and core stability. Get ready to play with some of your old friends in new ways, challenge your balance, find muscles you didn't know you had, and work some deep core stabilizing muscles while you increase your hip mobility. Good stuff. Two blocks may be helpful. Enjoy, yogis!

Let's cultivate a little life force, shall we? This is an energizing flow where we will move some energy AROUND! Get ready for fun with compass pose, eight angle pose and koundinyasana 2, along with all kinds of twists and turns as we go. Guaranteed to get your heart pumping, and your juju flowing.

I said this would be short, but once I got going it felt so good, I kept going, so this is an hour-long flow. Sorry not sorry :) This is a flow to release your hips, hamstrings, psoas and IT bands which will feel great for everyone, and (bonus!) ought to help anyone after a long day of travel, after a run, or a long hike - or anyone who might be dealing with a little sciatic pain. I felt 95% better after this. Don't let the slower start fool you. We spend the first 15 minutes on the floor releasing the hips and hamstrings in a targeted, progressive way, then we move into some intense core work, surprise! Then we get moving with a fun, heat-building flow, and end with arm balances, backbends, and more hip and hamstring opening. You may benefit from a strap and blanket, you will want a couple of blocks. Enjoy, yogis!

It is an honor just to be in a body living this life, and it is so easy to forget! Join Kate for a cosmic, fiery, twisty reminder. Grab two blocks and get ready to strengthen your core, open your hamstrings, hips and shoulders, play with balance in all kinds of creative ways, and step on your ego a little in the process. It's a good thing :) Enjoy, yogis!

You know those days when you don't have a lot of time, but really want your practice? Me, too! How about some deep, conscious breathing, your keen attention to sensation from moment-to-moment, hip, shoulder, and hamstring opening, core strengthening, back-bending and arm balancing with a nice savasana all in 28 minutes? Sound good? Awesome, let's do it. You might want a couple of blocks to "lift the floor up." Enjoy, yogis!

Wanna cast some witchy circles of protection and peace with Kate? Grab a couple of blocks and a blanket, and get ready for some magic with Hanuman, funky astavakrasana and headstand as you create great energy from within, and ward off all the madness around us! Then you can get back out there with all your witchy ways and make good trouble. Enjoy, yogis.

We start out with some grounding and breathing, a few minutes to "arrive" in the body and connect to sensation. We move into a slow and steady flow, and then a standing sequence that is foundational, with long holds so you can feel your way in and stay curious. We build enough heat to get to the floor and deeply open the hips, shoulders, and hamstrings. Please be sure to have two blocks and a strap handy. There are options for everything, and building blocks as well. Hip opening includes double pigeon, gomukhasana, and half lotus variations if appropriate, or knee-friendly poses if not. You may want the strap for shoulder opening or for some of the wraps. This practice is designed to calm your nervous system and open every major muscle group, deeply. Lots of love xx

Lots of stuff to release as we navigate all kinds of twists and turns! Expect tons of hip and shoulder-opening along the way, core strengthening, and invitations to play with staying centered in many different circumstances. Keep your heart open, keep breathing, and grab all your props :) Enjoy, yogis!
