WILDING
In this class, we play around with the concept of wilding - which is where you allow a cultivated plant to grow more wild, to start to break outside of the characteristics you want to control. Our LYT Yoga practice prepares us to be able to move with more exploration and more freedom from a place...

Flow
In this class, we will try to flow smoothly from one pose to the next, from one movement to the next. You might also find yourself in a "flow state," where you feel completely immersed in the experience. I know that is often the case for me and is one of the reasons I love yoga. Enjoy!

Reach for Expansion
In this class, we'll use reaching the arms at different angles to create expansion of the ribcage. We'll also work to consistently move the ribs back to create more space in the back and help the ribs to more easily stack over the pelvis in neutral. This will all improve your ability to both move...
-
Diagonals
In this class, we'll play around with diagonal movements. Our bodies are made to move on/in diagonals. The muscles of the body are primarily diagonally oriented. Moving in diagonals allows whole muscle chains to fire and for you to work on the optimal firing of the muscles involved. Enjoy!

Creative Blocking
In this class, we'll creatively use a block throughout (until we get to the stream at the end). The block will help shift and change poses that we may be more familiar with, giving them a sense of intrigue. This means that we have the opportunity to become more present and more playful on the mat...
-
Expand
In this class, we'll work to expand our connection to our bodies, expand the space in our bodies so we can feel more free, and expand our movement capacity. It'll be fun and challenging in the best possible ways!

Make It Work
In this class, we make it work. Think of it like a Project Runway moment, with Tim Gunn by your side. In life, we can only ever show up with what we have, and yet, somehow we have to make it work. So show up as yourself and do what you can do given what you’re coming to your mat with today, and e...

Crossbody
In this class, we focus on moving opposite arms/legs. We'll move around the mat holding stability in the center so we have crossbody freedom. This class is both fun and challenging in the best ways. Enjoy!

Value Added
In this class, we'll explore spinal flexion or a cat-like spine. Yoga inherently is biased toward more spinal extension. But we want access to both flexion and extension in the spine. So, this class explores creating more space in the back of the body through rounding the back with strength and i...

Hello Hamstrings
In this class, I encourage you to pay more attention to your hamstrings. The hamstrings, located on the backs of the thighs, attach to the pelvis at the sit bones (the bony protrusions at the base of the pelvis). When we contract the hamstrings they have the capacity to both move and stabilize th...
-
Explore Your Breath
In this class, we explore the use of 360º breathing to bring more space and awareness to our ribcage and where it is in relationship to the rest of our body. This entails expanding the ribs in all directions on the inhales and consolidating in the center on your exhales. You'll feel more spacious...

I Surrender
It's nice to feel in control of everything all the time, but, let's face it, that's not reality. And since our yoga mat can be viewed as a microcosm of and a training ground for the rest of our lives, it's a good locale to practice losing and then regaining some control, i.e. surrendering. Come c...

Lean Into the Good Stuff
In this class, we'll explore fun and creative movement that feels good in the moment and helps you continue to feel good throughout the rest of your day. Life can often be hard, but we have the choice to continually filter good movement into each of ours so the feeling and memory of "the good stu...

Full Spectrum
This is a full spectrum class. That means that the goal of the class is to move, in general, in all the ways that you need to feel good and feel ready for anything. The hope is that you'll leave this class having covered all your bases. Enjoy!
** This class is inspired by the style of yoga that ...

Control Your Core Container
In this class, we focus on creating tone around the body in the space between the pelvis and ribcage. Although the core is technically defined as everything from the pelvis to the shoulders, we’ll bring awareness to the space in the middle of the torso. By toning circumferentially around the mids...
-
Agile Ankles
We require mobile, stable, and adaptable ankles to move well in life both on and off our mats. This class addresses the importance of the ankles in our movements and will help you to achieve more agile ankles so you can move at your best.

Place with Intention
Have you ever noticed how you're more intentional with the things in front of you but the things behind you or outside of your view can fall by the wayside? Well, not in this class. We'll be working on internal rotation of the back leg to create more power and intention in what's going on behind ...

Pull Yourself Up By Your Bootstraps
One of the main critiques of yoga as a holistic movement practice is that it lacks pulling. You won't feel that way after taking this class. We'll talk about what it means to pull and add a lot of pulling action to our movements on the mat today. Enjoy!

Joyful Movement
In this class, we'll explore what it means to move with a sense of joy. It's perhaps far too easy to get caught up in how to move properly that we can lose the forest for the trees and move more like robots than joyous human beings. Let's band together to move with joy in celebration of the gift ...

Stay Connected
In this class, we focus on finding a neutral ribcage that the scapulae can connect to easily. We do this by moving the breath into the back ribs to help them soften into neutral where the shoulder blades can most efficiently connect to them. This results in a more supportive and spacious feeling ...
-
Playtime
In this class, we try to be more playful. You'll encounter some familiar and, perhaps, some unfamiliar moves. I encourage you to approach as much of the class as you can from a place of inquiry and enjoyment. Can you flex your playful muscles so that you can get feel more lifted from your movemen...
-
Pelvic Diamond
In this class, we focus on the pelvic floor. We'll energetically draw together the pubic bone, tailbone, and two sit bones to make the pelvic diamond. When we engage the muscles in this area of the body on an exhale and then move, we can create a greater sense of stability so that we can move wit...
-
Hippie
In this class, we'll be focusing on the hips! We'll move the hips in all 7 of their ranges of motion, which include: flexion & extension, abduction & adduction, internal & external rotation, and circumduction. You will have the best range of motion in all of these when starting from a neutral pel...

Find Your Balance Series - Class 1
In this 4-class series, we use balance discs to up the ante and make our movements more challenging by increasing the instability factor. When we are working in an unstable environment our stability or postural muscles, which are the ones closer to the bones and surrounding the joints, have to wo...
