Wouldn't it be nice if we just had a reset button somewhere? Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your perspective, in order to renew and reset we have to put in the work to do so. In this class, we will strive to get the pelvis and spine into a neutral position and then move in a variety o...

Now is the perfect opportunity for us all to take a step back and assess what are our core values, who are the core people in our lives, and what matters most to us. And then ask ourselves the question, are we truly making those things the center of our life? We will work with this idea in twists...

When we need it, it's good to have a support network to rely on. In this class, we will work to create a support network within our own bodies, so that, no matter what, we can always have a place to turn when we need it. We will specifically engage the glutes to help establish a stable and neutra...

In class today we draw inspiration from the classic Indian philosophical idea of sthira & sukha, which can be translated as stability & ease or steadiness & comfort. In life, we are looking to find a good space for ourselves where we have a combination of these qualities. Where we have stability ...

Yoga is a grand opportunity to integrate our senses in a cohesive experience, something that we don't necessarily do much of the rest of the time in our day. And in this style of yoga, we have a chance to work on optimizing our movement patterns on the mat to help us move better when we step off ...

As yogis, in particular, it is important to know how to properly engage and lengthen our hamstring muscles. In this class, we will explore not only hamstring stretching, which is common in most yoga classes, but also proper form for hamstring strengthening. We want our muscles to be both supple a...

In this class, we'll work to get in good alignment and get the right muscles firing to optimize our movement patterns. Once we've established that, we can move more efficiently and effectively and with more ease because it takes less energy. When we are moving optimally, energy isn't lost, but ra...

Being adaptable is key! That means we use the skills, talents, and means that we currently possess to shift our path in a new direction. In this class, we will work to create stability and strength, along with flexibility and mobility so that we can move in optimal ways that not only make us adap...

In this class, we'll work to reestablish neutral neck alignment as well as relieve tension in the neck. "Text neck" or forward head placement is a problem for many people today. Having the head routinely placed forward of its neutral alignment causes tension in the head, neck, and shoulders, as w...

In this class, we work to bring ourselves as fully as possible into the present moment. Our happiness is more available to us when we are in the here and now, rather than caught up in worry about the past or anxiety about the future. Being present does take practice, but it is worth the effort. J...

In this class, we will focus on getting the glutes active and creating space in the chest and shoulders. When the pelvis is in neutral, the glutes are primed to fire and do their job, but when it is out of neutral, the glutes can be much harder to connect to and get to work. Not to mention all th...

In this class, we focus on our feet to help move us out of any anxiety we may be feeling. This idea comes from Judson Brewer, neuroscientist, who says that one strategy for managing anxiety is to ground through our feet, which are not capable of feeling anxious. So we will get grounded by mobiliz...

Fascia is a form of connective tissue that encases and envelops all the muscles, tendons, ligaments, organs, etc. of your body. Through poor movement patterns, lack of movement, and injuries, our fascia can get stuck. When we move optimally and in a variety of ways, we can help to free up our fas...

In this class, we aim to be on the same team as our body. It's true that our bodies don't always feel and function optimally, but we have the opportunity to shift that. When we are on the same team as our body, we can nurture it and work with it so that it feels as good as it can, which will also...

The sacrum is a section of 5 fused bones at the base of your spine, above the tailbone. It articulates with the pelvis at the SI joints. In classical yoga, many of the shapes require extreme movement in the hips, pelvis, and lower back that can result in pain the SI area. In this class, we work t...

In this class, we work to create stability in the pelvis by bringing awareness to the two front hip bones, ASIS's, and drawing them energetically toward each other, what I call buckling it up. Engagement of the muscles in this area helps us to find a neutral pelvis, which in turn allows for more ...

In yoga, we don't necessarily get a lot of the pulling action in our bodies, but both push and pull are important in our movement patterns to feel great in our bodies. In today's class, we focus on getting both push and pull in the ways we move on the mat. Bring some more awareness to these actio...

In this class, we work to create stability in the spine so that we can move in ways that feel supported. The ribcage and pelvis, if we're not aware, will often move too much in our movement patterns leading to loss of energy and even pain. We do want a supple spine, but we first want to start fro...

In class today, we'll focus on creating space in the shoulders, core, chest, hips, and along the back. These areas often get tight and stuck. When we can get them mobile again we feel more alive. More space in these areas also means we can take deeper, fuller breaths. Move and breathe better from...

In class today, we'll connect into our own inner sense of and ability to fight. Our yoga practice has the potential to show us over and over that we are stronger than and more capable than we think we are. We'll work to create openness in the chest with the idea of showing up in the world by lead...

In this class, we will work with twists to dispel tension in our bodies. In order to effectively twist, we need a stable place to twist from. This stable place is often the pelvis, so we want our glutes to really be working to get the pelvis neutral and stable. Then, when we twist, we can ease ti...

In this class, we'll work to create/find a neutral spine and then lengthen it. Once the spine is in neutral, the energy can flow more effectively and efficiently along it. That means we will feel more energized and free to reach for the things that are meaningful to both ourselves and our communi...

In class today, we move for the simple enjoyment of it. Our bodies are made to move and when we are moving they feel at their best, particularly when we're moving in optimal ways. This class includes a variety of different movements, which is another key component to feeling great. Our overall go...

In this class, we will work to create both strength and opening in the inner thighs. Tightness in the groin area of our bodies can affect our knees, our hips, and our low back. Learn to effectively utilize and stretch the abductors on the inner thighs to give yourself more freedom in these other ...
