Short on time but want to fire up your core and really open your hips? Let's do this! Series A and C to get warm, serious core strengthening to turn up that heat, and some nice, deep hip opening as we flow with standing frog variations, hip-opening on your back, lizard pose with options to go deep and all kinds of fun!

Debating between intermediate or advanced for this one because the hip-opening is deep and I want those of you with knee issues to listen to your bodies! Please don't force anything. A nice steady pace to build heat as we open the hips more and more along the way. This is a well-balanced flow with core strengthening, backbends (they felt SO good) and a long tripod headstand, but there is no doubt the focus is deep hip-opening you'll feel for daaaaays. Marichyasana variations are the dessert we're heading toward, but there are a lot of delectables along the way. Enjoy!

Use your practice to approach your fear, avoidance, or tendency to “sit on” your rage…or your joy! Lots of upper back, shoulder, hip and hamstring opening, along with core strengthening, and plenty of time to play with arm balances and inversions. Who’s afraid? Great, let’s do it!

Open your upper back, shoulders, muscles across your chest, and space at the front and back of your heart in this flow that opens the front body and the back body (hi there, hamstrings), fires up your core strength, and kicks it upside down. Think eagle pose, standing splits, Eka Pada K 1, dwi pada, lots of twists, and handstands for fun. Cupid has nothing on you ;)

A strong core warm-up leads us into a dynamic flow culminating in compass pose - and a fun transition to complete the flow.

"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." Maya Angelou This practice is slow, steady and deep. I came to the mat without a plan and did the practice I needed. If you want to deeply open your shoulders, upper back, chest, hips and hamstrings, this is it. I felt a lot of tension in my shoulders and upper back releasing as I moved, and I hope you will, too. I felt a lot of emotional tension release as well. I did talk openly about what's happening in the world right now in the context of heart-opening and the yoga of action. Two blocks are handy but not necessary. Love to all, may we be gentle with ourselves but resolute.

This steady and mindful practice will help you feel less stressed and better overall! We dive deep into lunges and hamstring openers. We use slow-moving breath and sequencing to open some of the tightest areas of the body. Finish off with a relaxing heart opener on blocks and restore the body/mind in a healing Savasana!

A medium-heat flow for medium-energy days! You'll get a nice deep stretch in this well-rounded practice, but you can turn the heat up or down depending on how you feel! Please be good to yourself out there. I know these are such sad and scary times, but it's so important to tune in, breathe, calm your nervous system, open your heart and then get back out there and see how you can work to make the world a more loving and peaceful place <3

Super sweaty, deep hip opening, arm balancing fun. Fire up your core and your upper body and play on your hands. The way it looks is not the thing. The thing is what you're bringing to the situation!

Quick and Tasty flow when you are short on time, but are craving some juicy core and upside down time. We will warm up with corework in plank, move on to upper back opening, sun salutes to build heat and even sprinkle in some Pincha! Enjoy!

Perfect for days when you have a moderate amount of energy (enough for 6-minute abs and some good flow!) along with the desire to breathe, decompress and do some really deep stretching once we've built that heat! If you need to release your shoulders, upper back and hips, there are serious opportunities to do that! A shoulder sequence on the floor may lead to deeper-than-usual backbends, and frog pose...well, you know how frog pose can be! Enjoy, yogis!
