In this class, we'll be working with the forearms on diagonals. Having the forearms on diagonals in poses like forearm quadruped, funky quadruped, dolphin, and funky dolphin, amongst others have advantages. The benefit of having the forearms on diagonals is that it can be more accessible for the ...

In this class, we'll work with the idea of lifting and expanding the ribcage out of the bowl of the pelvis. When we inhale, we want to take a 360-degree breath where the ribs lift up and expand in all directions. When we do this, we can create more space and freedom for easier movement. I have fo...

In this class, we'll stay low to the ground like the bassline of a song. And we'll build up a medley (small sequence) of poses in each of the three sequences that we'll put together in the stream. It's a super fun class that almost feels like a dance class. Like the bassline of a song, it builds ...

In this class, we'll focus on creating and generating power from our toes. The toes have the potential to make your movements easier and lighter because they are the amplifiers of the energy you generate higher up the chain in your core, hips, legs, etc. We can all use some time focusing on the t...

In this class, we'll use additional feedback, typically from the hands (but also the floor and eyes), to help make sure that we're moving in optimal alignment. Our hands will be the way we "check ourselves." These are techniques that are applicable in any class anytime to make sure you're moving ...

In this class, we'll move with a sense of gratitude for our mind, body, & spirit & for all that we have in our lives. This creative & fun class will leave you feeling free in your body and mind so that you can feel a sense of gratitude for all that you have.
There's a playlist that goes along wi...

In this class, we'll focus on getting our triceps to fire. The main action of the triceps is to straighten the arms. Their antagonist muscles, on the front of the upper arm are the biceps & brachialis. When the muscles tone circumferentially around the upper arm when weight-bearing, this helps to...

In this class, we utilize the "forced use" concept to bring awareness to imbalances we may have in our body, but also to help balance those imbalances out. Forced use is when we load one side of the body, whether it be arm or leg, more than the other. This added demand can be very revealing of in...

This class is entitled The Teapot Flow - tip me over, but don't pour me out! We'll be using a block to create more instability and do poses in a slightly different or new way than usual. What this will mean is that your more proximal or postural muscles are forced to fire to help stabilize your b...

In this class, we work on creating space particularly in the mid-back. The thoracic part of the spine is where the ribs connect onto the spine in the mid and upper back. This area tends to get tighter and more locked down with age and lack of movement. So, we'll work to reverse those effects.

In this class, we'll focus on moving our breath into our back. Ideally, we want the breath to be able to move 360º around the ribcage. In reality, a lot of the time our breath moves forward more than circumferentially. So, in this class, we'll open up and focus on moving the breath backwards and ...

In this class, we focus on moving with lightness. We'll put less weight into the ground by, instead, pulling energy up into our core. We'll play around with poses where the hands are on fingertips to take some weight out of the wrists and make the legs and core work harder. We want to use the gro...

In this class, we focus on creating stability in the outer hips. In particular the glute medius muscles. Their three main actions in the body are to create stability in the pelvis, internally rotate the leg, and abduct the leg (or move it away from midline). We'll work all of these and much more ...

In this class, we focus on taking up space in the world through lots of big arm movements. In order to move well in big ways, we need to start from a strong stable core. So, to take up the space you deserve in the world, your core has to be ready for it. This class was inspired by a visit to my f...

In this class, we move in the hips to help free them up. In our joints, we have something called synovial fluid. When we move, it becomes more fluid and our movements become smoother and easier. This is most true when we move our hips in a variety of ways, so be prepared for that in this class to...

In this class, we move and groove in ways to slough off those heavy, lethargic feelings that might be the result of a rainy day. There is a lot of movement in the ribs and hips to make you feel free and light again. This is a fun practice any day, but it came from a desire to feel a sense of ease...

In this class, we explore the push and pulling actions of the arms. Traditionally, yoga doesn't include a lot of the pulling action. But there's more added into this class. Ideally we want both of these actions included in our movement diet so that we can stay balanced in our bodies. Enjoy!

In this class, we focus on drawing our energy and power into the midline. That's the centerline of your body and right where the spine runs. That's pulling in toward center can be really helpful to make us feel both powerful and light. I've found it particularly helpful in inversions. I hope you ...

In this fun class, we'll saddle up to the practice at hand by making space in the hips. We'll do a move called the "giddy up" to simulate getting on a horse. It should leave you feeling ready to saddle up to anything your life requires of you.

In this class, we'll be catching different parts of our bodies to release tension in the tissues, often with our hands. So we'll create a drag on the tissue which allows for more space to be created when we release it. You should feel a sense of spaciousness and ease by the end. Enjoy!

In this class, we'll tackle the pose half moon. We'll work with refining the component parts of the pose, including opening the chest, balance, and getting the outer hips to fire to both stabilize and lift the pose. We'll explore how to make the pose, and variations thereof, lighter and brighter ...

In this class, we'll be creating more space for our lungs to expand. We'll focus on opening up the space around the ribcage through flexion and extension, rotation, and side bending. You'll notice how freeing up this area of the body has an effect on the whole system. Enjoy!

In this class, we focus on centering the upper arm bones in the shoulder sockets. We'll do this in a lot of binds where the arms go behind the back. Often, in a traditional yoga bind, the shoulders end up rounded forward and down, then we try to pull the upper arm bones (humeri) back from there, ...

In this class, we'll make a ton of space for the low back. We'll move the back through extension, flexion, side bending, and rotation. When you're done, you'll feel like you have a whole new body. This class is a wonderful reset that is worth repeating over and over again.
