The title of this class was inspired by a Cole Porter song, my favorite American songwriter. Think about all the things you do in your life in the name of self-love, including this practice, and honor those as you move around the mat today! Self-love isn't always easy, but it is certainly worth t...

We have the opportunity, everytime we step on our yoga mat, to go inside and check in, see what we need and how to best take care of ourselves. And we also have the chance to refine the skill of interception which helps you understand and feel what's going on inside your body. And you only have t...

In this class, you'll have the opportunity to try out and figure out some new moves or old moves done in new ways. The process of figuring out how to get through the movements presented takes place in every class. Know that you always have the freedom to shift/adjust moves so that they feel right...

I created this class with a dancey-vibe and lots of creativity. I've slowed the teaching down a bit to give you a chance to figure out some of the unique moves and transitions and to enjoy the flow. This is an opportunity to express yourself through your movement in a way that is uniquely yours, ...

In this class, I encourage you to listen to your body and adjust as you need so that you can create a practice that is best for you. That's as true in this class as it is in any class. These movements are fundamentally sound and based in deep study of movement biomechanics, but not everything wor...

Successful movement, both on and off your mat, is reliant on an underlying strategy, whether intentional or unintentional, whether explicitly conceived or not. Some of this is dependent on past experiences which have allowed you to assess and refine your movement and to know what you’re working w...

In this class, your goal is to find a sense of lusciousness in your movement and to move with that throughout. Can you take some of the tension out of your practice and, instead, replace that with more ease and flow? I’m sure you can and that you’ll feel better for the effort. Enjoy!

Great news! This class is done entirely while lying on the floor. Some days you still want to practice yoga, but you don't feel like getting up and down so much. Well, this class is perfect for those days. It's essentially an extended reset where everything is done lying down, including moves in ...

In this class, we work to integrate the legs into the pelvis. We'll focus on using both the adductors (inner thighs) and glute medius muscles (outer hips) to create stability around the pelvis and up into the core container. This will help you bring more awareness to your pelvic floor and allow y...

In this class, we will definitely be getting our steps in. I've had the experience many times over that I look at my fitness watch after a yoga class only for it to tell me I've done a total of 1-3 minutes of exercise, according to it. In this class, I put as many stepping-like movements as possi...

In this class, I encourage you to actively try less hard. Sometimes in life and on our yoga mats we try too hard to do too much. This class is designed to help you pull back a bit on the effort and allow things to happen more easily. Your body has an inherent intelligence, lean into that as you p...

In this class, we will mobilize our hips! We'll check in on what mobility we have and help ourselves build upon it. The hips are most mobile when the pelvis is neutral, so keep checking in on where your pelvis is in space while you move around the mat in a variety of fun and creative ways. Enjoy!...

This class explores the various movements of the spine - flexion/extension, rotation, side bending, and any combination thereof. Moving the spine in all of these ways gives us an opportunity to feel how supple and adaptable the spine can be. Enjoy!

In this class, we'll work to get 3 muscle groups firing together to help provide more stability and ease of movement. Those muscle groups are the adductors (inner thighs), hamstrings (backs of thighs), and obliques (the middle two layers of abdominal muscles that crisscross the space between the ...

Many of the classes I teach these days are built up of patterns of movement. The ability to easily pick up and repeat movement patterns is a skill that can be practiced and developed over time. And we have an opportunity to do this each time we come to our mats. This class is built up of many dif...

In this class, we explore the rotation of the ribcage. Sometimes, to get a better connection of the scapulae or shoulder blades on the back ribs, we simply need to rotate the ribs a little in one direction or the other (right or left). Rather than taking where we land in a pose for granted as the...

In this class, we check in on our necks. If we're not careful and we're not paying enough attention, over-engagement of our neck can become a movement strategy. That means we're doing it over and over unconsciously as we move throughout our day-to-day lives. You'll have the opportunity today to c...

It's really that simple... move like it matters, because it does. In this class, we move in fun and creative ways to explore good movement and make it work for us. Each time we step on our mats, it's an opportunity to make the movements offered feel good for you and pay closer attention to exactl...

In this class, we explore and refine how the ribcage expands on the inhale. Then, with that knowledge, we play around with movements happening on the inhale to see if that added expansion can provide us with more levity and support. Breath is an integral part of the practice and proper breathing ...

Your practice is an opportunity to get yourself more into a "ready state," where you can take on whatever life throws your way. This class highlights the functional movement aspects of this type of yoga and reminds us that this effort on our mat has carryover to the other aspects of our lives. So...

Are you leaving some power and stability that you could derive from your toes on your yoga mat? Check in during this class to see if you can refine how your toes are in/out of the action of your practice. We'll explore using the toes (and fingers) as both breaks and stabilizers in a fun and (pote...

In this class, we allow the strength in our core to help move us adeptly around the mat. It's a fun and creative class that will keep you, both mentally and physically, on your toes. Enjoy!

Movement is often an antidote to exhaustion. We will test out this concept in class today. Although we can get to a point of exhaustion, movement can help us to tap into our energy reserves and convert them into feelings of momentum and ability. Try moving in creative ways on your mat with me and...

In this class, we take a moment to dream big about our movement practices and our lives. It's so easy to get caught up in the minutia of the day-to-day. But, every once in a while, it's good to take a step back and consider where we're headed and whether we'd like to make some changes. For me, a ...
