  • Clear Out the Cobwebs

    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 ...

Extras

  • Feel Good Flow

    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...

  • Beside & Behind You

    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...

  • Astavakrasana Flow

    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...

  • Connect to Your Back Body

    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 ...

  • Revolve to Evolve

    In this class, we'll be revolving in the spine, shoulders, & hips in order to evolve our body. We'll do this in both closed-chain & open-chain positions. Closed-chain is where you rotate from a connection of a limb or limbs on the ground, open-chain is where you're rotating while those body parts...

  • You Get the Point

    This class was inspired by the points of a star. We'll be moving our limbs and our whole bodies in a variety of directions while maintaining a stable core. These kinds of movements are really great for your core, but also for the mobility of your shoulders and hips. I think you'll notice a differ...

  • Oblique Observations

    In this class, we'll be paying particular attention to our obliques. Our internal and external obliques form the middle layer of our abdominal wall. They are important for creating both side bending and twisting movements in our bodies. They also help create stability and strength in our core. We...

  • Courage

    This class is about building and leaning into your own courage. We'll do this by working on creating space in the chest, like a superhero with an emblem emblazoned on our chest. We'll encourage a posture of courage & strength within ourselves.

  • Nurture Your Neck

    In this class, we'll nuture our necks by exploring range of motion of the neck, while also mobilizing & strengthening the upper back. Tightness and rounding in the upper back and chest can affect the neck, so we want to make sure we to address those areas. This class will leave you feeling spacio...

  • Zip It Up

    In this class, we're working on keeping the core integrated throughout. I'll reference the idea of the abdominal brace, where you keep a degree of tone around the full circumference of the space between the pelvis & ribcage. The idea is that we're not only strong and integrated in our core when w...

  • With Confidence

    In today's class, the name of the game is to move with confidence! When we step on our mats we don't always know exactly what's coming. That's part of the fun and part of the challenge. Today, do your best to do each movement with as much confidence as you can muster. That little extra bit of for...

  • We’re Cruisin’

    In this class, expect a well-balanced all-around practice. Focus on cruising through it and cruising through life with a little more ease. Of course, that doesn't mean it won't require effort and that there won't be challenges, but step up to those as they come and enjoy!

  • Bird of Paradise

    In this class, we'll work our way up to a modified version of the pose bird of paradise, though you're welcome to take the classical form of the pose if you like. This pose requires open hamstrings, hips, and shoulders, so we'll be incorporating all of these elements into how we move. I hope you ...

  • Send Your Breath

    In this class, we work on expanding the breath into the full container of the core. We want our breath to move not just in the belly, but all the way up to the collar bones. Our posture really affects our ability to breathe properly and fully. So, as usual, good posture and movement patterns are ...

  • Fast Feet

    In this class, we'll work on some quick movements with our feet. This will include some plyometrics (i.e. jumping). You'll feel light and ready for anything by the end.

  • Free Your Femurs

    In this class, we'll be freeing up our femurs (thigh bones). We'll move the leg through flexion, extension, and circumduction (circular) ranges of motion. We'll both move the pelvis around a fixed femur and the femur within the pelvis. By the end, you'll feel a much greater sense of freedom in yo...

  • Rinse It Out

    This class is inspired by the agitator in the center of the washing machine. We'll be rinsing out our bodies with rotation and movements that repeat (medleys). You'll have the opportunity to work on both dynamic stability and flexibility.

  • Crushing It!

    In this class, we'll be crushing it, both literally & figuratively! We'll be consolidating the core by engaging the glutes & inner thighs (adductors) to create space for the lower back. Our adductors are connected to our deep core musculature, so we want them to fire to help us create more streng...

  • Fit Feet

    In this class, we'll work on mobilizing and strengthening the feet and ankles. These things are key for good balance. We tend to lose mobility in our feet as we age, and especially from wearing shoes, so it's great to be barefoot on your mat and opening these areas up. You'll feel a lot of work i...

  • Neck Relief Series 1: A Neutral Neck

    Part of the problem that we can have with our necks is that they tend to live out of a neutral position, in cervical flexion, with the head jutting forward as we work/play on our phones/tablets or do everything else in life. This class is designed using our hands for feedback to help us reconnect...

  • Neck Relief Series 2: Release the Neck

    One of the big advantages of this type of yoga is the encouragement to relax the neck in a number of the poses we do on our mat. In traditional yoga, and in everyday life, we can create a lot of tension in the neck. In this class, we’ll specifically focus on poses where we work stability in the c...

  • Neck Relief Series 3: Stretch the Neck

    In our continued effort to bring relief to the neck, some great ways to do so are to stretch the muscles in the neck and create mobility in the shoulders. This class is designed to do just that. I've incorporated a lot of great neck stretches and shoulder mobility work so you'll feel much more fr...

  • Neck Relief Series 4: Mobilize & Massage

    In this class, we’ll create space in the thoracic spine, through rotations and side lengthening, as well as tractioning and massaging the neck to relieve tension in the neck and base of the skull. The ability of the thoracic spine to move and be mobile is crucial in allowing for a neutral, less t...

  • Another Good Walk

    In this class, we do a lot of walking. Walking with our hands and feet. We use the inspiration of walking to inspire the movements in the class. It's both fun and challenging and totally worth the effort!
