Movement can be categorized into 3 different planes of motion - sagittal, frontal, & transverse. In this class, we explore what those planes of motion are. We move through a sequence in each of them and then combine them all into multi-planal movements. The truth is that our body needs to move in...

In this class, we focus on our feet. So often our feet are confined in shoes. Over time we lose the mobility and stability in our feet because of this. The more time you can spend barefoot, the better. And, of course, yoga is great for your feet. Today we will focus on getting our feet feeling an...

In this class, we'll work to create freedom in our bodies. Freedom is having choice in our lives. There are times when we'll have more choice than others. Even when it feels like we have less choice, we can always turn to our bodies to feel free. Movement, and especially good movement, is healing...

In this class, we'll be walking around our mats in a variety of ways, both with our arms and legs. We'll work on the skills of walking well and building core stability along the way. 

In this class, we will work with the axis of the spine to help get the hips up and the head down. Eventually, this tipping, like a teeter-totter, can lead to access to poses like arm balances and handstands, which we won't do today, but are preparing the body for more generally. We will build str...

In this class, we work on reestablishing and retraining a neutral neck. Because we spend so much time on our phones and computers, we often end up with a forward head placement that takes the neck out of its neutral and most healthy position. This can cause a lot of tightness where the neck and s...

In this class, we'll be getting both strong & mobile in order to feel free. We will do this primarily through creating stability in the core, so that we can feel free to move your limbs in a variety of ways. The hope is that we can move away from the rather typical feelings of tightness, being bl...

The first key for good movement is to have a strong and stable core. But second to that is to have strong limbs. Without strong limbs, the core has to do more work than it needs to. So, in this class, we focus on building more strength in the arms so that our arms can help support us in the ways ...

Many of us are spending lots of hours at a computer now and every day. This class is designed to counterbalance or counteract the somewhat slumpy posture that many of us adapt while we are at our desk. In this class, we work to restore the curve of the neck (cervical spine), which is often reduce...

In this class, we will work to create both strength and opening in the inner thighs. Tightness in the groin area of our bodies can affect our knees, our hips, and our low back. Learn to effectively utilize and stretch the abductors on the inner thighs to give yourself more freedom in these other ...

In class today, we move for the simple enjoyment of it. Our bodies are made to move and when we are moving they feel at their best, particularly when we're moving in optimal ways. This class includes a variety of different movements, which is another key component to feeling great. Our overall go...

In this class, we'll work to create/find a neutral spine and then lengthen it. Once the spine is in neutral, the energy can flow more effectively and efficiently along it. That means we will feel more energized and free to reach for the things that are meaningful to both ourselves and our communi...

In this class, we will work with twists to dispel tension in our bodies. In order to effectively twist, we need a stable place to twist from. This stable place is often the pelvis, so we want our glutes to really be working to get the pelvis neutral and stable. Then, when we twist, we can ease ti...

In class today, we'll connect into our own inner sense of and ability to fight. Our yoga practice has the potential to show us over and over that we are stronger than and more capable than we think we are. We'll work to create openness in the chest with the idea of showing up in the world by lead...

In class today, we'll focus on creating space in the shoulders, core, chest, hips, and along the back. These areas often get tight and stuck. When we can get them mobile again we feel more alive. More space in these areas also means we can take deeper, fuller breaths. Move and breathe better from...

In this class, we work to create stability in the spine so that we can move in ways that feel supported. The ribcage and pelvis, if we're not aware, will often move too much in our movement patterns leading to loss of energy and even pain. We do want a supple spine, but we first want to start fro...

In yoga, we don't necessarily get a lot of the pulling action in our bodies, but both push and pull are important in our movement patterns to feel great in our bodies. In today's class, we focus on getting both push and pull in the ways we move on the mat. Bring some more awareness to these actio...

In this class, we work to create stability in the pelvis by bringing awareness to the two front hip bones, ASIS's, and drawing them energetically toward each other, what I call buckling it up. Engagement of the muscles in this area helps us to find a neutral pelvis, which in turn allows for more ...

The sacrum is a section of 5 fused bones at the base of your spine, above the tailbone. It articulates with the pelvis at the SI joints. In classical yoga, many of the shapes require extreme movement in the hips, pelvis, and lower back that can result in pain the SI area. In this class, we work t...

In this class, we aim to be on the same team as our body. It's true that our bodies don't always feel and function optimally, but we have the opportunity to shift that. When we are on the same team as our body, we can nurture it and work with it so that it feels as good as it can, which will also...

Fascia is a form of connective tissue that encases and envelops all the muscles, tendons, ligaments, organs, etc. of your body. Through poor movement patterns, lack of movement, and injuries, our fascia can get stuck. When we move optimally and in a variety of ways, we can help to free up our fas...

In this class, we focus on our feet to help move us out of any anxiety we may be feeling. This idea comes from Judson Brewer, neuroscientist, who says that one strategy for managing anxiety is to ground through our feet, which are not capable of feeling anxious. So we will get grounded by mobiliz...

In this class, we will focus on getting the glutes active and creating space in the chest and shoulders. When the pelvis is in neutral, the glutes are primed to fire and do their job, but when it is out of neutral, the glutes can be much harder to connect to and get to work. Not to mention all th...

In this class, we work to bring ourselves as fully as possible into the present moment. Our happiness is more available to us when we are in the here and now, rather than caught up in worry about the past or anxiety about the future. Being present does take practice, but it is worth the effort. J...
