“Vinyasa” means “a methodical progression from one point to another”, and when we say “vinyasa flow” we are describing the union of breath and movement from one pose to another. Our flow classes are sweaty, focused and fun. The emphasis on breath brings you into your body and connects you to something that’s happening in the present moment--your inhales and exhales, and all the other sensations that arise as you move and build heat, open, strengthen and stretch. Sensations don’t happen in the past or the future, they happen now. Welcome to your body!

Hello yogis! Join Lauren for an energizing flow with lots of love for the hips, hamstrings and shoulders, twists and turns, core strengthening, fun explorations of marichyasana, compass pose, and eight angle pose, drop-backs and jump-throughs if you want them, and a very sweet Savasana. Two blocks may be helpful. Enjoy!

A practice for these times, friends. We start with some grounding, breathing, and awareness of sensation so we can get present. Then we head into an energizing flow that targets shoulder, hip and hamstring opening, with extra love for your hips. Eka pada koundinyasana 2 is in the playlist today, along with the building blocks to get there, or hip-opening options if you need to take it easy today. Core strengthening, but of course. And a reminder to cultivate compassion and friendliness toward yourself, so essential right now. Sending you lots of love.

A thirty-minute hip-opening flow that also targets core strength, shoulder and hamstring opening, and handstand-play. If you're looking for an energizing, full-body flow with extra love for your hips, look no further :)

This is an intermediate-to-advanced flow where you can dial things up or down based on your level, and what feels right today. Emphasis is on core strength, and we'll start out on the floor with a block, and feel our way right into that center! Once we're on our feet, you can expect lots of opportunities to play with balance and flexibility, and plenty of front and back-body opening so that you walk away from your mat feeling centered and balanced and ready for whatever comes your way. Give yourself this time to be right where you are, strong in your center, breathing. Enjoy, yogis! 2 blocks and a strap might be helpful, one block is necessary :)

The mythology goes that the peacock is one of the only predators of the cobra, because it can digest its poison. Metaphorically speaking, if you know you can handle something no matter how intimidating or confrontational, there's no need to be afraid. This practice peaks in peacock pose, but peacock pose is not recommended if you are dealing with wrist injuries, or if you're pregnant! Please pick another class for today if that's you. Peacock pose requires balance, focus, and strength, it can aid digestion, and it strengthens the core, arms, chest, shoulders, thighs and wrists. Enjoy, yogis!

Enjoy a well-rounded flow that focuses on embracing the present moment as the ultimate fresh start. What to expect: a gentle warm up, sun salutations, standing poses, arm balancing, core strengthening, and heart and hip opening, with a friendly reminder that every breath offers a new beginning. (This was filmed the week before the wildfires, thus the upbeat tone and theme. Though we will need to begin again and again out here, no doubt. Love to all xx)

This is a fun, thorough, energizing, hip-opening flow that leads to flying pigeon (and gives you the building blocks to get there if you aren't quite ready to take flight yet). You will notice a wildfire alert go off about halfway through this class, because that's how life has been out here this last week. This was filmed before we knew how bad things would get. We are all okay, thankfully, we are all breathing and practicing, heartbroken and grief stricken and sending you love, nonetheless. We appreciate all the love in return very much.

We start slow, then flow. Lots of stretching, strength, standing poses with an emphasis on hips and sacrum. Enjoy eagle and cow faced pose. Finish up with backbends, an inversion, and twists.

Hello friends! This is a shorter version of a class I do in person at the end of one year, moving into the beginning of another. We begin with a steady flow to get the breath and energy moving, and open up every major muscle group. It's an intermediate, slower flow with lots of time to feel your feelings and breathe deeply. Savasana happens in a restorative heart opener. Then I give you some journaling prompts to check in with yourself and get clear about where you are now - how you're feeling in your life, whether there are any habits you want take a look at, what it is you'd like to release and what you want to cultivate in the new year. You'll need a pen and paper :) I hope you enjoy, and I'm sending you my best wishes for 2025 <3

A short, sweet, and strong practice for when you're really short on time, but want to reset physically and mentally. Breathe, strengthen and recharge now!
