In this class, we will work on a bottoms-up breathing strategy. When you inhale, ideally, both your thoracic and pelvic diaphragm descend and they both ascend on the exhale. We will focus on a 360º inhale, expanding the ribs in all directions, and a bottoms-up exhale to promote good shoulder mech...

If you’re curious to learn more about how to backbend sustainably and practice backbends that are accessible to everyone, this is the class for you. Yoga can be a pretty backbend-heavy movement practice. Yet, not all backbends are for everybody. I was never a backbend fan until I learned how to b...

In this class, we'll be working on both hip mobility and stability, probably one of the most popular topics in yoga. We'll do a lot of work to help you feel great in your hips in this class. Enjoy!

When we extend the spine, movement at the front bottom ribs can often lead to an unwanted hinge-point in the spine where we rather unintentionally move repeatedly, potentially putting the spine at risk. In this class, we will work to keep the ribs integrated, which will help minimize the repeated...

Sometimes life is easier if we are just along for the ride. In this class, fight less and do more so you can move more and feel better. Enjoy!

Don’t let wrist or elbow pain hold you back from getting in a strong practice! In this class, we’ll stay off the wrists so you can give yourself the break you might need, but not let it keep you from moving in challenging ways around your mat. There will be some added balance challenges to help y...

In this class, we will try to see our body as a team. Throughout the class, the goal is to get your team operating more optimally. As that occurs, your movements should become more smooth and accessible. Some days this goal is more achievable than others. But this practice can help you on that jo...

In this class, we'll use our hamstrings (on the backs of the thighs) and triceps (on the backs of the upper arms) to create more strength, stability, and connection in the body so that we can move with more ease. There are some mirrored actions performed by these two muscle groups and it's fun t...

Keep your own inner fire burning by working on keeping "the stack" in your practice today. The stack is equivalent to a neutral spine and pelvis, where the ribcage is stacked over the pelvis. We will use the cue "ribs back and sternum up", often with tactile feedback, to accomplish this task. Enj...

This is quite the interesting and wonderful class! Throughout the class, I will be asking you to hum on your exhales. Humming is a wonderful technique to help us not over-effort and bring more awareness to our nervous system and diaphragm position and function. Push your boundaries a little and l...

Here's the hope... that everything will be alright if we just keep moving, breathing, feeling, and thinking. Sometimes the yoga mat is the only place where that seems to be the case. And other times, not so much. But continuing to move is essential, when we can. Enjoy!

And there are lots of strategies to do so. In this class, we make sure to move our bodies in a variety of ways and in all dif...

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...
