Whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing a long time, this is a useful and dare I say important class! What IS the difference between cobra and upward facing dog, anyway?? These two poses are some of the most common poses put into flow classes, but rarely are they broken down in detail. Enjoy this short (7 minutes only) class where I break down the differences, safety, biomechanics, and ways to make these poses adjustable for different bodies.

In this short video I break down the benefits, contraindications, and preparations required to enter the expansive, heart-bursting shape Urdvha Dhanurasana, AKA Upward Facing Bow, AKA wheel pose! This is a shape taught in many classes, but rarely broken down to make learning it more accessible. This is one of my all time favorite postures with immense benefits for body and spirit.

Tune in to this ten minute tutorial to learn all about the preparations, benefits, alignment and variations of a beautiful standing balance called Ardha Chandrasana, also known as Half Moon Pose.

This is a quick, 16 minute breakdown of Sun Salutations, also known as Surya Namaskaras. This tutorial is especially useful if you are newer to the practices of yoga, as Sun Salutations are used in almost every yoga class. Having a solid understanding of these sequences can really open up the gateway to a deeper yoga practice.

Savasana... that pose at the end of class many of us rush out of. This video is solely dedicated to Savasana, Corpse Pose, and the magical ways it helps us integrate and heal. The beginning of the video I explain the importance of not skipping over this posture, then we dive in to about a 10 minute guided Savasana. You can use this after one of my classes that don’t include Savasana, after your own exercise routine, or even just on its own for some truly relaxing connection to yourself and the Earth beneath you.

Here’s another specific pose tutorial for y’all, working towards Hanumanasana (better known as the Splits or Monkey King Pose). This is such a potent posture to work towards, even if you never go for the “full split” shape. Tune in for this quick run-down of prep, cautions, and practices to work toward this pose.

Here’s another quick pose tutorial for y’all, bringing you my favorite upside-down shape: Pincha! In this short video I break down what’s needed to prepare for this shape, contraindications, and we also explore this strong pose physically together.

This is a quick, 5 minute tutorial breaking down the alignment, engagement, and benefits of Utkatasana. This pose is a huge gateway posture to other strong postures in the practice of yoga.

In this 13 minute video, I break down a very common posture called Trikonasana, also known as Triangle Pose. Tune in to learn all about the benefits, cautions, alignment, and possible modifications of this posture. The last bit of the video is a more core-focused offering with the pose, so if you are more after basic form I’d say skip that part and end a few minutes earlier :). Enjoy!

In this 8 minute tutorial, I demonstrate how to safely enter and exit the deep hip opener called Padmasana, also known as Lotus pose. I also spend some time explaining cautions to take when practicing this asana, as well as fun possibilities to integrate this hip opener into other postures.

This is a quick tutorial breaking down Sirsasana, also known as Headstand. We take a few moments to talk about the preparations, precautions, and foundational alignment to keep in mind when practicing this inversion.

Here’s a quick little 7-ish minute core workout to leave you feeling strong even when you are short on time. Even in this short amount of time, we still have a little intention setting at the beginning of class. Enjoy!

Welcome to my new program: Journey to Handstand! In this video I explain what you can expect out of this ongoing series. This is not your typical handstand program: I am going to take you deep into every corner of preparation you can imagine for this inversion, and hopefully show you that it really is just about enjoying the ride. If you are taking the program, please don't skip this video over. Grab a cup of coffee and tune in to just 6 minutes of me introducing this program I am so excited to bring to you.

Heat it up and explore your core with one of our favorite guest teachers Rosie — with a view! Travel through dynamic movement to strengthen your center and tone your abdominal wall. This short and spicy practice is sure to warm the entire body!

I know we are all very familiar with sun salutations, but have you ever done a moon salutation? Chandra Namaskar, or moon salutation, is a series of yoga asanas (poses) we practice with the breath to bathe in sweet, lunar energy. Great for if you are feeling anxious, tired, maybe a bit overworked. Lovely for any time you want to slow down a bit while still getting a nice stretch in, or for when you want to connect to softer energy. Enjoy this short and sweet practice on days you are short on time, or repeat the flow as many times as you like. Also works as a cool down after other strong embodiment practice.

This is an all levels practice where we play in a less traditional way. We shake, we groove, and flow in a fluid yet activating way to help release anything that needs releasing, energize a bit, and remember our worthiness of shining in a confident way.

This week I’m bringing you a deliciously cozy, simple and concise class you can do right from the comfort of your bed. This short class is designed to be for either right before you go to sleep, or right after you wake up. Get cozy and refresh yourself with this handful of super accessible stretches. All levels welcome.

This class is for those days when you need a quick embodied reset for your energy. Great to take during a lunch break as there is no equipment needed and you don’t get too sweaty, or good for any busy day when you need a quick full body stretch. All levels, to the point maintenance practice.

Since summertime is such a busy time of year, I’ve been enjoying the opportunity to make these condensed yet complete practices for you all. Join me for 15 minutes of fast-paced, playful yoga flowing where we work towards a few fun forearm supported postures. Definitely a level 2/3 practice.

Short on time but want to feel connected to your center? Join me for this compact movement practice where we do work the full body, but with an extra focus on the core. We approach with a playful combo of Pilates and Yoga for integrated mobility and strength. Let’s get to it!

Here’s a mini slower flow for those days that you’re feeling tight in the neck and shoulders. We just go through a handful of simple stretches and movements to help create more space in these areas that hold quite a lot of tension in most bodies. All levels, chill practice.

Sciatica pain is a super common issue, where we experience pain or tingling sensations from the low back, into the glutes, hips, and down into the legs. Tune in to this short and simple video where I demonstrate some accessible stretches to relieve pain here and to learn more about sciatica. All levels friendly, including those who have no exercise routine established!

We all know how important it is to take care of our cardiovascular health, but have y’all noticed how cardio classes are usually geared towards more advanced practitioners? That’s why I decided to make this class, created for my level 1 friends. Enjoy just under 20 minutes of cardio yoga moves to boost your mood and your health!

Maybe your arms are sore because you have been rock climbing, doing extra chaturangas, carrying a baby around, or doing lots of chores around the house. Whatever the reason, you are likely coming to this class because you need a good stretch through the arms, the wrists, and the shoulders. We open all these areas of the body and do some self massage to quickly and efficiently relieve some soreness. All levels are welcome to this simple seated practice.

Here is another short but yummy stretch practice. Great for when you are short on time or energy but also need to get some tension out of your shoulders, upper back, neck, and chest areas. These areas of the body are so commonly tight with all of our phone usage, computer work, chores, holding children, making artwork, playing music, cooking.. basically, all of life causes upper torso tension! This class has some different ways of stretching these muscles than the other few classes I have on reducing shoulder and neck pain. I hope it provides you with at least a little bit of relief! I often find when I do classes like this when I am all tight, that it is the next day I start to find a little bit of mobility rather than immediately after class. All levels friendly, gentle practice with no heat generation. You will need: a wall, two yoga blocks, a thick pair of socks, and a rolled up long blanket roll for class.

This class is super efficient as we pulse through a set of power-yoga inspired movement patterns. It’s kinda like a HIIT, but not as intense as a traditional HIIT, so maybe more like medium intensity? All levels friendly, listen to your body and take breaks, add on, or take away as you need to. We get full body engagement in under 20 minutes. Class includes a short warmup and cool down.

Having a lazy day, but want to get your stretch on? Join me for today’s slow flow - from the comfort of bed! It’s a short and sweet class where we stretch most of the body in a slow and conscious way. I leave space for you to breathe after I get you into each posture to savor the quietude on cozy days in. This class is great for when you’re feeling sore, tired, sick, snuggly, when you’re traveling, when your floor is covered in laundry… or any time you just want to stretch luxuriously in your bed.

I filmed this class on holiday, and the lighting was a bit weird in the BnB. So the image isn’t *quite* as high quality as usual, but still easy enough to see clearly :)

This class is designed for my friends who are trying to get generally stronger throughout the whole body, and is accessible even for level 1. We know though, in order to get stronger we need to meet our edge! This class will get the heart rate up, some sweat going, and will leave you feeling energized and stronger than before. This class can be plenty, or it can be stacked with the 25 min Luxurious Full Body Stretch, or any stretch or meditation video on the membership.

This is a to-the-point mini practice, but a short practice doesn't mean we need to be in a hurry! Come get the benefits of juicy slow flow yoga without eating up too much of your day in this all levels friendly practice. Primary focus is on opening the hips, shoulders, and chest. Enjoy!

Have you heard the buzz about Yoga Nidra (sometimes called Non Sleep Deep Rest)? Yoga Nidra has been practiced for thousands of years for its immense health benefits on the body and mind. Yoga Nidra is incredible for restoring our energy in an afternoon slump or after not sleeping so great, it's a potent tool to calm down when anxious, it's literally great for your brain and heart, it can help align your spine and ease upper and lower back pain, and it can help us access an increased sense of focus, presence, and energy for the rest of the day. Tune in to learn more and practice to see the benefits of this restoration for yourself.

I am am so glad to be adding another Yoga Nidra class to the membership library. Yoga Nidra is closer to meditation than it is physical practice, but it is done lying down. In my own experience, Yoga Nidra is hands-down the most restorative, renewing, and replenishing yogic practice. Back when I had Long Covid, Yoga Nidra was my saving grace as I faced mountains of fatigue. Yoga Nidra is also great for anytime you are just generally tired, maybe a bit stressed, tense in the body, didn't get a good night of sleep, feeling ill, or any time you feel you just need to ground and be held by the earth. This particular practice is inspired by the healing energy of the Ocean. Get comfy and let yourself be washed clean in this guided rest.

Here is another bite-sized class to focus in on more of the physical foundations required for handstand. Often overlooked and extremely essential is enough flexibility in the lower body to get yourself off the earth and onto your hands. This is the first of multiple lower body flexibility classes to come in this series, with this one focusing on opening up the hamstrings and thighs/quads/hip flexors in an efficient, all-levels friendly way. You will need: 2 yoga blocks, a tightly rolled up blanket, and a wall for this practice. Also, if you are on a hard surface I'd suggest knee padding.

This week I am bringing back a style of practice that we used to do more of on the membership, which is a quick and dirty practice for busy days. This practice is just under 20 minutes, but it really does not compromise on quality. This class is most levels friendly, just a bit quick in pace. The little bit of heat we do generate is all in service of stretching ouuuuut the spine and hamstrings in deep folds and twists, but the whole body does get touched upon as always in Vinyasa style practice. A block or two could be useful for class, especially as we work towards Triangle pose variations.

In this class we are finally starting to stand on our hands! You can expect a short but very effective class: we start with a quick little warmup and get into drills that eventually lead to walking our way up the wall towards L-stand variations of handstand. No jumping, but we certainly get strong. The only prop you need is a steady wall. We do have a sweet visit from the drama king himself in this class: Dante the cat - or more like the lion, you will see he's gotten so big! Last thing to mention: in this class I start out wearing socks, and I quickly realize that was a silly choice. Save yourself the trouble and do this class barefoot.

While this membership is mostly Yoga based, I have found a lot of you love Pilates! So, I plan on slowly adding more Pilates playtime to the membership library. This class is a quick circuit that will get you warm, strong, and long through most major areas of the body. The beauty of a circuit is you can choose to do it once, or press rewind and go at it again as many rounds as you like. Most levels friendly, although it is a strong practice with some demand on the joints. I do provide modifications to level up and down.

Another short and sweet practice that is especially great for when your upper body needs a break but you still want to connect to yourself physically. Join me for just over 20 minutes of fluid, creative low-body mobility movement patterns that hover somewhere between intuitive dance and yoga. No upper body weight bearing, just toning and opening through the hips, the legs, the spine and side body a bit in an organic way. I also have many playlists for you to choose from, but this one on Spotify might be particularly good to pair with this class: Dance/Yoga

Welcome to the third class of the journey to handstand program! In this class, we focus on the connection between the breath, the deep core, and the lower body as essential ingredients in working towards handstand. It's a bit of a yoga-pilates fusion style workout. Even if you aren't joining along this program, I'd call this a really nice low-intensity strength building practice for the core and legs. This one left me feeling strong, but not at all tired: perfect to start out a busy day. You will need either a chair, or two stacked yoga blocks for this class. All levels friendly, even for beginners.

This class is definitely something different than usual. This was a self-practice I recorded about a year ago, and I never intended to make a class out of it. But I realized, this could be a fun opportunity for my more “advanced” asana students to play! This is a short but very strong practice where we get to explore inversions, arm balances, deep flexibility, and backbends within a kind of weird and intuitive flow. I really do not cue much in the way of teaching you how to do these strong poses - but I have tons of other classes and pose tutorials for that! Since it is from a self-practice, you know... maybe it's not as polished as a typical class. Maybe I forgot to take the bind on one side of the lunge. But dang, it is a FUN class if you like getting upside down, playing on your hands, and bending backwards. If you wanna wiggle with me in all the ways, join me for this quick and dirty class. The only prop you’ll need is a wall.

Feeling sluggish? Lethargic? But wanting a boost of energy to get you through the day? Join me for this playful 25 minute practice where we effectively open and strengthen most major areas of the body in a way that helps us pick our energy up! It is all levels friendly, but we do move at quicker pace to get the cardio going a bit.

Continuing our PPP class series, this is the first of more postpartum classes to come for the membership. This class is designed for when you are just starting or re-starting your yoga practice after giving birth (after your initial rest period). Of course, it is very important you clear any and all movement practices with your physician after giving birth. It goes without saying, but I am not a doctor and you listening to your body and your health care team is number one - the postpartum journey is unique for everyone. But this class is meant to gently open the areas of your body that get tight from all the physical demands, and exhale some of the stress from the mental demands, of being a new mother. All you need for class is a folded blanket and a yoga mat.

This is a short and sweet practice to help you feel motivated for the coming day. As spring is approaching, I think we could all use a little energy boost to reactivate after a long, sleepy winter. Just 25 minutes here includes a small meditative breathing moment and all levels movement practice where we open and awaken most of the body.

Dynamic hip opening really just means hip opening in motion. Typically when we think of opening the hips, we think of postures in stillness such as pigeon pose. But have you ever tried to open your hips within standing poses and in motion? Sometimes moving the body in new ways is *just* what it needs to create more space. Join me for just under 30 minutes of quick paced, creative, most-levels friendly hip opening yoga!

Join me for a short, sweet and complete Vin Yin style class. This is designed for my level 1 friends, as we move slowly and mindfully as I offer accessible modifications through postures. The first half of class is a slow and simple vinyasa, and the second half of class provides a small handful of yummy yin poses to wind down. Enjoy this full body rinse!

In this stage of the handstand journey, we are starting to incorporate a bit more of a cardiovascular-element along with our strength. Please do a short warmup before you start this class because I get right into it with various drills that incorporate planks, crow poses, fierce poses, functional core work, upper body strength, hopping, and eventually exploring donkey kicks and tuck jumps into a possible handstand. You will need a steady wall for this class. Let's be kind to ourselves, courageous, and open to new things being possible as we move along our journey to handstand.

I have been really looking forward to bringing this class to the membership. This is our first proper Restorative Yoga class! In the first few minutes of this class, I spend a little time breaking down the differences between Restorative and Yin Yoga. Restorative Yoga is really how it sounds: it is a practice that is first and foremost about nervous system regulation. This time of year can be so hectic. Taking the time to slow down and carve out a little time for you is so important, not just for yourself, but so you can show up for family and friends with more love and from a more grounded place. We do some seated breathing and grounding, followed by just two gentle poses held for a whopping 8 minutes each. This class is absolutely all levels friendly. If you are pregnant, you can take this class but you'd need to prop yourself upright in a cozy seat instead of laying on your back. Even just teaching this class left me feeling so grounded and refreshed. I hope you enjoy.

This class is just as it sounds: slow, juicy, short, & sweet yoga to help open up most of the body in just 30 minutes. This practice is low-to-the-ground (meaning, all done laying, sitting, and kneeling), and is great any time you want some grounding, are feeling tight and stiff, need some nice stretch, to access deeper breathing. Great for a busy day, but also great for sunshiney days where you want to just bask in the sweet warmth of your body. All levels friendly. You’ll want a strap for this class, and 2 blocks are optional.

There is no doubt that once in a while, our wrists and shoulders get tired from all the downward facing dogs and planks we do in a traditional yoga asana class. This is a great class for times like this, as it is a full body class where we put zero weight on the hands/wrists! Join me for a slow, juicy, yet super efficient practice to help you feel stronger, longer, and more open with no hands. While it is full body, we spend extra time breathing big space into the side body. Not much intention setting, it's a pretty physically focused class. So you can just hop in, get in your body and breath, and hop out into the rest of your day. All levels friendly.

Happy Hanukkah! Whether you celebrate this Jewish holiday of light or not, we can all benefit from turning our awareness towards Hanukkah themes of our own inner light and resilience as the year starts to wrap up. The flow is slow and simple, yet juicy and effective to stretch all major areas of the body in an all levels friendly way (including level 1).

Welcome to another Autumn Equinox class! I realized I hadn't filmed one since 2021, so we were overdue for a fresh take. My intention was to keep this ritual flow on the shorter side, so you can feel for yourself that connecting within and setting yourself up to embrace the new season doesn't have to take a lot of your time. While I say that this class is most levels friendly, I think having some yoga experience is important to feel like you can keep up with the weird transitions, so maybe it hovers around level 2 with options to take it down or up a bit. Emphasis on hip opening, standing balance, and savoring the space in transition between postures. I'd call it a proper Vinyasa style practice. I hope you enjoy taking this one as much as I enjoyed filming it for you :)

Welcome to the Air Element Week! After moving through some heaviness of some of the other elements, the element of air can offer us a refreshing quality of lightness, uplift, clarity, openness, and levity. Join me for this short and sweet practice where we really honor air as the ruler of our practice through pranayama (breathwork practice), a few yin poses, and a restful meditation or savasana of choice that I guide you into and hold some space for. The only props you really need are two yoga blocks, but you can always have more cozy props like a blanket or pillows for the yin vibes.

I realized it had been a while since I had filmed a true full-on High Intensity Interval Training workout. This is a full body strengthening and cardiovascularly-challenging class where I invite you to join me in giving it your all. You could slow down the movements to make it lower intensity if you prefer that type of movement, but high intensity training is so good for our health. High intensity helps us build strength, cardiovascular endurance, and most importantly it teaches us how to manage stress on a physiological level so we can handle it in our daily lives without getting swept away. You will need a few props for class: some dumbbell weights, a wall, and resistance bands. 2 yoga blocks or an aerobic step-up would also be great, but if you don't have those things the exercise I show you with them can be done without just on the ground.

Even when you are short on time, you are worthy of taking some time and space for you. Join me for this short, sweet, yet very effective and grounding Yin yoga practice. The intention of this practice is to help you find some spaciousness in your body, your mind, your breath, and your spirit. If your life is feeling full, if your body is feeling contracted, if your brain is busy: give yourself the gift of space-making. The whole body gets some love here. You will need a wall and two yoga blocks. Optional: if you have two sand bags or two light weights, they can be helpful in one posture.
