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 strange world. This class offered many opportunities to do just that, as you will see :) Much love!

This is a practice that is all about calming the nervous system. We start with meditation and alternate nostril breathing to tune in and calm the nervous system. Then we move into some very gentle stretches and movement all designed to bring the focus into the body so we can quiet the mind. Whether you're having a day where your mind is racing, you're dealing with anxiety or insomnia, you need a gentle practice before bed. or you simply need an immediate nervous system reset, this is for you.

This is an energizing flow designed to get you glowing from the inside out! We start with some circular breathing to get things moving and then we dive into the hips and hamstrings and play all over the mat! Included are some lotus variations with fun balance options (focus, focus!) and an opportunity to choose between self-loathing or self-loving. (Pick the second thing!) Scorpion forearm stand might be fun at the end. Enjoy yogis!

If you're looking for a sweaty, challenging practice with lots of standing balance, twists and turns, core strengthening, time to play on your hands and head, and all kinds of fun, look no further! We have time in crow pose, tripod headstand, handstand options during and after the flow, monkey pose, love for your hips...the only thing there isn't a lot of in this flow is rest! (But you can always pause your video ;)) Enjoy yogis!

This flow is all about your spine! Backbends and new ways to warm up and get into different variations of heart openers. Backbends are like a little shot of expresso to the energy body...so come alive and feel a newfound freedom in your entire spine!! I know you will feel awesome after this flow:)

We start with alternate nostril breathing and then dive into the hips, shoulders and hamstrings. 6-minute abs happen early so you're connected to a strong center as you play with standing balance variations, like ardha chandrasana with a different focal point or no hands on the floor, and arm balances like flying pigeon. It's an intense practice with some long holds and time to feel your feelings and work your practice. Enjoy :)

Explore your perceived limitations in this challenging practice! There are lots of heat building poses and playful arm balances and inversions. We move into advanced variations, but there is never pressure to do it all unless it feels right for you. Approach your practice with an open heart and a sense of wonder! Namaste!

Evening out your energy is a daily practice, the balancing of Shiva + Shakti is a dance that is eternal, internally and externally. This practice begins with Nadi Shodana to purify the masculine and feminine nerve channels of the body. Balancing acts on all fours move up off the ground into plank and more challenging/heating arm balancing (Lolasana & Tolasana) and standing balance situations. The practice concludes with Padma Matyasana, a lotus-legged variation of fish pose. Om Hrim Namah Shivaya - Tasmai Sri Gurave Namaha

If you're looking for a shorter practice that will deeply open the shoulders, hips, chest and upper back, and also fire up your core, look no further! We start off with some cat-cows and Series C, take it into serious core work and preliminary hip-opening, then get back on our feet for some dynamic flow with series B to build extra heat, and then find our way into several deep shoulder openers, front-body openers (virasana with lots of options) and back bends, and finally head into pigeon variations that you can choose from based on how you're feeling in your body, but including King Pigeon II if that feels right! Enjoy a deep practice with lots of time to breathe deeply, quiet your mind, and open your heart!

Did I say Fiery? Just making sure you saw that! We work hard and play hard in this sweaty flow that keeps coming. Lots of core, hip, shoulder and hamstring opening, opportunities to play with arm balances like flying pigeon, handstand help, backbends and a nice rest when you're done! Please note, we filmed this class right before I replaced the sound system, so I do cut out in a few places, but took the class myself and it's pretty minimal and not at all hard to follow, so I'm publishing :) I hope you enjoy!

We build a lot of nice heat in a fun flow that involves true love for the hips, hamstrings and shoulders. We fire up the core and play with arm balances. Once we're warm, oh my goodness do we open those hips. Virasana, half virasana, skandasana variations, monkey pose, double pigeon and a seriously deep savasana. You'll be wrung out for sure!
