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.

In this class, we'll focus on both strengthening and stretching the muscles of the outer hips, particularly the gluteus medius muscles. These muscles tend to be weak on people, yet are very important for stabilizing the pelvis. They can also be tight and bog down ease of movement in the hip. You'...

In this class, we do a lot of rolling... Rolling the legs around in the hip sockets, rolling like a ball, rolling and windmilling like the spokes of a wheel, etc. This class is a reminder that rolling with the punches is something that we learn how to do better over time and with experience. It t...

You'll need 2 blocks for this class (though you can make do with one. We'll use the blocks in lots of creative and fun ways to challenge your balance so that you can find your balance. We're all looking for a little more balance in life and this class is a great time to work on it and help you ac...

In this class, we'll focus on being present in the here and now. This is the only time in which we are actually living. Not in the past or future. The breath is a great way to drop into the present moment. And connecting breath and body is helpful with that as well. We'll move with a little more ...

Looking for a feel-good class to stretch it all out? Well, this is the one! We'll move with a little more ease and awareness in this class with the goal of using flexibility to create freedom. The hope is that you'll feel great at the end. Enjoy!

In this class, we'll focus on finding a neutral pelvis and neutral spine. Neutral is the happy medium or middle way of where your joints prefer to be. In the middle (in a neutral pelvis), you'll find the most range of motion for your hips and you'll be able to generate the most power. We want to ...

In this class, we'll focus on getting good hip extension with a neutral pelvis. Many people will tip in their pelvis to get more hip extension in their movements, however, this results in compression of the lower back and turning off of the lower abdominals, not a recipe for long-term success. So...

In this class, we'll be making lots of space in the thoracic part of the spine. That's where the ribcage connects to the spine in the mid and upper back. We'll be side bending, back bending, and rotating to carve out space, i.e. clear out the cobwebs. This should help make you feel freer in your ...

This class is all about feeling good in your mind, body, soul, spirit. We'll move with our breaths. Make this class work for you. Ask yourself what do you need today as you move & breathe and your mat and then give yourself what you need. We will not be in a rush in this class, so you'll have tim...

In this class, we'll be working with a lot of poses and movements that happen in the planes beside and behind you. We live so much of our lives in front of us, but there's a lot of benefit to bringing our awareness and movement patterns into the sides and back. You'll notice how much your shoulde...

In this class, we'll be working toward the pose astavakrasana, a.k.a. crooked sage, a.k.a. eight-angle pose. There are 5 key component parts of this pose that we'll work on during the class, including: arm strength, core strength (with a twist), hamstring length, adductor strength, and hip mobili...

In this class, we'll focus on connecting the arms and legs to the torso (your core). We'll do this primarily by focusing on your serratus anterior muscle - the muscle that helps connect the scapula to the ribcage - and the iliopsoas muscles - the iliacus and psoas muscle group that run from your ...
