Energetically Pull In & Up
In this class, we will pay close attention to how energy moves within our bodies. Good movement relies on an energy exchange so that you feel ready to do anything at any time. This is as opposed to shapes where energy doesn’t feel available or is leaking out of our body. In seeking a state of ada...

Effective Spinal Rotation
In this class, we’ll work on spinal rotation without flaring the front bottom ribs. Instead we’ll work to get breath into the back bottom ribs. Each time you twist think of filling air or making space into the back bottom ribs on that side first before you create the twist. This should make twist...

Alternate & Reciprocate
The ability to alternate and reciprocate in the body are fundamental concepts to good movement. We will explore both of these within this class. We’ll alternate movements from one side to the other. The concept of reciprocal movement means when one part of the body does one thing, the other parts...

Chains of Love

Hungry, Hungry Hamstrings
In this class, we work on engaging the hamstrings. Yoga has a lot of opportunities for stretching the hamstrings, but for optimal movement in our lives, we need strong hamstrings too. The hamstrings can be used to create stability in the pelvis since they attach at the sit bones. We will use them...
-
Hold You Back
In this class, we will pay attention to where in our bodies we generate tension (strength) in order to make space. Good movement requires that we hold ourselves back at least a little somewhere, so we have somewhere to move from with power and grace. Being held back can feel like a bad thing, but...

Keep It Neutral
In this class, we will work primarily with the legs in neutral or parallel. As someone coming from a dance background, working with the legs neutral was a shift and a benefit to me when I started yoga. I wanted to create a whole class where the legs are neutral to allow you the opportunity to exp...

Wind to Unwind
In this class, we'll pay closer attention to the tension we feel as we move. Bumping up against that tension is an opportunity to create more space. The continual winding and unwinding of our issues, including muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, etc., will produce a greater sense of ease and cal...

Hips Back, Knees Forward
In this class, we will focus on the cue "hips back, knees forward" to help create a good hinging action. Proper hip hinging strategies are key to good movement. And although it is important to hinge well at the hips, we want to energetically reach forward through the knees, which can help improve...
