What we do on those mornings when we're only going to get 10 minutes to get centered and ready for the day! Sun salutes with variations that include high lunge variations, warriors 1, 2 and 3, extended side angle and extended triangle pose, all within a flow that will get your heart pumping, get you breathing deeply and send you out into the day feeling centered, grounded and energized! (And we hope you come back for a longer practice later in the day! ;))

Need a full intermediate-to-advanced practice in under an hour and want to feel amazing when you're done? Look no further! We get right to it in this fun flow where we build heat quickly, fire up the core, play with arm balances and inversions, do some nice back-bending and end with all kinds of variations of bound angle pose and forward folds to leave you feeling super open and calm! You can turn the heat up or down easily, I offer lots of options, so please go with whatever feels right and give yourself lots of credit for making the time to take care of YOU!

From the root chakra to the crown, we're going to get aligned in this flow, folx! Cultivating faith and trust in yourself and in the notion that you are a part of something greater than yourself and therefore interconnected with everyone and everything. This is twisty flow that will open your hips and hamstrings, strengthen your core, open your upper back and chest and get you feeling supper connected! Ready?

When you get on your mat you have the opportunity to be in a respectful and compassionate conversation with your body. Your mind may have ideas about what it wants your body to do, and your body is going to have feedback. The idea is to listen and to be in a loving partnership with your body - that's when it will truly open and strengthen for you! So as you go from shape to shape, ask your body, "Does this feel right?" and then listen and respond. Maybe you'll go deeper, maybe you'll back off, but whatever you do you'll be creating an environment of trust and deep listening as you open your hips, shoulders and hamstrings, strengthen your core, open your heart and possibly stand on your hands! Ready?

Do you live with a loud inner critic? It's exhausting, isn't it? Wanna stop doing that now? This practice is for you! The session opens with a short talk about the pain of living with a voice in your head that is shaming and unrelentingly critical and the tools you need to erode that voice and start developing and strengthening a voice that roots you on! Life. Changing. We do this work in the context of a well-rounded flow that opens and strengthens every major muscle group! Good for your body, mind and heart :)

A well-balanced flow intended to support you with connecting to your authentic self! You can expect a gentle warm up, sun salutations, warrior poses, standing balance, heart and hip opening, spinal twists and of course savasana. Enjoy, yogis!

This is a deep hamstring-and-hip-opening journey that may or may not lead you into astavakrasana (eight-angle pose). This pose has us moving in all different directions! You need open hamstrings, hips and shoulders, you need a fired up core. You need to be ready to play with balance and counter-balance and maybe even fall on your face or your asana a bunch of times along the way! But more than all of that you need an open mind and the willingness to play. Ready to move and breathe and see what happens? *Please note! There are advanced poses in this flow but there are also tons of variations and building blocks to help you explore where you are now, and how you might move your edge a little bit! And there is Yoga Nidra in savasana, so no matter what happens you'll walk away from your mat with bliss in your heart <3

A practice about coming home to ourselves, to the Divine Mother, to Mother Earth. An acknowledgement that we are all made of the same stuff and a celebration of that reality as we move, breathe and flow. Expect lots of deep hip, shoulder and hamstring opening in this one, folx! Some fun extended hand-to-heel pose and half lotus variations that may lead to bharadvaja's twist and yoga dandasana (please listen to your body and make sure you never feel deep hip openers in your knees!) Enjoy, yogis!

There are roughly 7 billion people on earth, but only one YOU!! Isn't that amazing? You have something particular to offer this world that only you can, but sometimes people doubt themselves! Relate? This practice is about getting out of your own way so you believe that what you have to offer is valuable and needed! If you're looking to stoke your creative juices, this is for you! A little breath-of-fire, core strengthening, twisting, balancing and getting on our hands and maybe upside-down. The whole time we'll work with the feeling of being rooted, trusting ourselves and then shining it out!

Practice begins with a 3-minute talk about the importance of self-compassion. If you are a Type A perfectionist by default and live with a loud inner critic, my goodness this is especially for you! Please set the intention to replace any negative inner talk with a voice that roots you on as we move and breathe and make shapes together! We give lots of love to the hips, hamstrings and shoulders, fire up the core and then give extra love to the hips when we're warm. This is a feel-good flow that's all about cultivating compassion and developing a loving and respectful relationship with your body, and perfect for days when you have a moderate amount of energy! Once we can be compassionate with ourselves, we can do that for other people with a different kind of insight.
