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!

A sweaty and challenging flow with lots of twists and turns along the way, love for your hamstrings, hips and shoulders, heat-building and core-strengthening, a little tutorial for those of you working on your side crow, and some tips for heading toward kapotasana if you're ready! A conversation about Garuda and why it never goes well if you shrink yourself to make other people feel comfortable, and lots of laughter also included. Intermediate practitioners welcome, lots of options to turn the heat up or down as needed, just please listen to your body!

A story about the relationship between the sage Vashista and the King Visvamitra and the arm balances named after each of them! What draws you to your practice? Is it greater flexibility, core strength, these funky poses? Or are you after something deeper, like enlightenment? Lots of fun along the way as we prep for these arm balances and consider what it is that motivates us to show up on our mats every day! Whatever it is that draws you in the first place, there's no doubt the path is full of hard work and glorious surprises. Maybe you'll even end up with a wish-fulfilling cow! (Let us know if that happens for you!)

Well, we didn't stop moving very much at all, but we had a lot of fun filming this class for you! Want to really feel your outer hips? How about those adductors? We get it all with lots of fun along the way, so get ready to work and sweat, but also get ready to laugh! You might find yourself in flying pigeon, or dragonfly. You may end up in a handstand. You might say to yourself, how did I get here? This is how we do it, one practice at a time!

If you're looking for something intense, energizing, steady and fun, look no further! We did lots of heat-building, core strengthening, hip, shoulder and hamstring opening and side-body stretching to get ready for bird of paradise, bound ardha chandrasana, koundinyasana 2, crow pose, headstand, firefly pose, forearm balance (with building blocks to get there!) and so much more. We also laughed. Unroll your mat and let's have some fun! A block and a strap are helpful for some but not necessary.

Build core strength for better balance in standing poses and learn how to cultivate a sense of lightness in arm balances and inversions! This class will help you keep your practice well-rounded, safe and so very strong!!

Lots of forward folds in our flow so we can work with the idea of a solid foundation and strong center. If you can't trust yourself, how can you have faith that you'll be able to rise to the occasion when life asks, or release situations and people when the nudges are there to move in a different direction? Open your hips, shoulders and hamstrings. Play with balance and strength. Fire up your core. Get upside down if you're ready. Surrender to a deep savasana. Trust yourself, and release your grip where you can.

If you want all kinds of intense core work interwoven throughout your practice, this is for you! Lots of fun and creative ways to build that inner fire and then play with balance! You'll want to have a lot of energy for this one, yogis, and a good sense of humor, too. You're welcome in advance, bwahahaha.

Lots of fun twists and turns in this one, folks! A little twisted boat pose, variations with Archer's pose, side body deep release, twisty arm balances, headstand action and so much more. Get ready to flow, play and swerve!

Hips, shoulders and hamstrings get some love as we spin ourselves inside out and upside down. Try not to be so attached to your mat or the way that you're facing! Think outside the box, shift your perspective and have some fun as we fire up the core and fly.

A fun flow that targets the shoulders, upper back, hips and hamstrings, includes six-minute abs and a tutorial on dolphin pose with a strap and a block, when it makes sense to play with pincha prep, and when you're ready to head into full pincha mayurasana (forearm stand). Enjoy!
