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.

This is a vinyasa practice where we explore some juicy movements that prioritize both strength and flexibility. Physically we work towards an arm balance called Eka Hasta Bhujasana, also known as Elephant Trunk Pose. We use blocks and cyclical movements in a fluid and steadily quick pace to open and tone the hips, legs, shoulders, and core, with breaks to catch our breath. We harness the power of Ganesha to remind ourselves to get out of our own way and find play within the work, ease within the effort. Let's play!

Tapas is all about cultivating and honoring the fire dwelling within you. This is a strong and somewhat physically demanding class, although: if you are into meeting your edge, classes like this feel absolutely delicious. Class begins with a short chat around the philosophy behind Tapas and a brief breathing meditation. The majority of class is heat building Vinyasa to strengthen and stretch most major areas of the body, and to help purify anything in the mind that is ready to be burned through.

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.

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.

I’ve got another efficient and juicy, strong practice for you with this one! Great for when you’re short on time but still want a full feeling vinyasa practice. We focus mainly on twisting, but the whole body gets some love (and some work!) in this one. I’d call it level 2-3 as we move very quickly without a lot of alignment guidance.

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.

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 :)

Having one of those days that you woke up way before your alarm, and just can't get back to sleep? Rather than continuing to toss and turn, maybe you'd like to hop out of bed and wake your body up with the sun. Sometimes it can feel a lot better to just greet the early morning rather than resist it! Join me for this practice designed for such days. Some moments are soft and gentle, others are strong and juicy. The whole body gets a chance to stretch itself open in this efficient practice of asana, pranayama, and a brief seated meditation. I would call this intermediate, as I don't cue alignment for all poses, I don't offer as many modifications, and some transitions are bit quick. The poses themselves are relatively all levels friendly.

Props: 2 blocks, 1 strap, maybe a cushion.

Like the title suggests, this is a fast and efficient practice. We dive right in to expansion in the spine, chest, and shoulders in a heat-generating, creative vinyasa practice. While it is most levels friendly, the fast pace and strong postures might edge towards intermediate. Remember you can always prop up or take rest. I didn't cue this in class, but you could always use a strap around the ankle to grab the foot in that bound half moon. If you need more of a guided cool down, you can always add on one of my short stretching or meditation videos.

This class is definitely geared towards more advanced practitioners as we move quickly with the breath through lots of arm balances, core work, and full body vigor. I don’t break down much alignment here as this practice is really to help a get out of our head and into our breathing body. Great for flushing anxiety or pent up energy. We do close with some nice stretches and a Savasana as well as a mantra.

This is one of my favorite flow sequences I have been playing with in my own practice, so I thought I'd make it into a class for my Vinyasa lovers! I call this class most levels friendly, with the understanding that Vinyasa is, by nature, at moments a bit quick in pace. If you are brand new to yoga, this might be one you come to after doing a few other level 1 Vinyasa classes first. As always, modify up or down as you see fit. We do explore challenging poses and unique transitions, but no arm balancing. The whole body gets a yummy rinse, we generate some heat, and we prioritze finding a playful, sweet, expansive Springtime energy within. We close with a lovely restorative pose for Savasana, featuring Dante! I hope you have as much fun with this one as I did.

Join me for this fast paced power vinyasa to burn through excess energy in the body. I labeled it as intermediate, but if you are an “experienced beginner” you could also be ready for the practice. I mainly just wanted it to be clear this isn’t quite a level 1 friendly practice. Moving quickly through simple yet strong movement patterns like this his flow provides is a great way to get out of the head and into the body. You will want a couple of yoga blocks and possibly a stable wall for practice.

As the title mentions, this is a mixed levels class. Mixed levels means that there are opportunities for both more and less experienced practitioners. We moderately strengthen and open most of the body as we contemplate the role of inspiration in our practice, and I try to leave more space than usual for you to focus on your own intentions, breath, and practice.

It can be so easy to get too serious in our yoga practices, and to take ourselves too seriously within them. This practice is focused around finding the joy and the play in your practice as a source of inspiration to keep showing up! We move pretty quickly through some flows that include standing poses, standing balance, backbends, arm balancing, and full body activation. I’d call this an intermediate sequence. Savasana included at the end. Enjoy!

Here's a nice full Vinyasa flow where we physically focus on opening up through two commonly tight areas of the body, the hips and the heart. We contemplate opening ourselves up to the changes occurring in life, and how to bring changes we need in. Most of the practice is all levels friendly, with a few opportunities to deepen for intermediate practitioners.

In the second class of my mini series Yoga with the Elements, I introduce you to the element of water. The water element is energetically known to invoke care, compassion, patience, deep feeling, adaptability, creativity, and openness to change. Water also reminds us the importance of keeping things moving so we don't get stagnant in the body or the mind. This vinyasa practice is designed to keep you flowing and to find fluidity in your body, especially in transition between postures. Everywhere in the body does get a little love in this dynamic practice as we explore vinyasa variations, side planks, standing postures and balance poses, hip opening, and some opportunities for deep backbends / heart opening postures. A juicy balance between flexibility and strength in this intermediate level practice. You will need two yoga blocks for practice, and maybe some padding for your knees.

This is a special Vinyasa to welcome in the new year with an open heart towards all that is possible. I intended it to be most levels friendly, but I think it is more like a level 2/intermediate practice. You can expect relatively quick-paced, creative flowing full of strength and stretch to prepare the body for juicy backbends. I left this practice feeling amazing and energized, and I hope you do, too.

While the image of this class is a headstand, know that you really do not need to be able to do a headstand to take this class! This is a strong vinyasa flow - upper intermediate leaning towards advanced, and kind of feels more like power vinyasa than straight up vinyasa. This is from my own personal practice, with a voiceover added on top. We move very quickly in and out of strong standing, standing balance, arm balances, inversions, side planks, backbends... you name it, we go there, as we work our way towards a big standing balance pose called Bird of Paradise. Always listen to your body, take breaks, and maybe you will want to take this class a few times for it to feel more fluid.

Today’s practice is a full-spectrum flow where we lengthen and strengthen the whole body, and a special emphasis is placed on getting the tension out of our spine to assist with better posture. I know many of us have spent so much of the pandemic hunched over computers and phones, let’s take this almost hour-long practice to correct some of the crunchy effects of pandemic life! Class is all levels friendly, with modifications for both newer and more seasoned practitioners.

This is a really fun, strong, bendy, and fluid vinyasa yoga flow. Suitable for my intermediate friends as we work up some heat and move pretty organically between shapes. The first half of class is a full-body exploration, but the second half turns into an expansive backbending practice. Join me in embodying the magic of water and fire!

This class felt super lovely to shoot in body and mind. We take the time to establish a rhythm of breath and movement as a vehicle towards greater focus. We acknowledge that in our focused efforts, we can find joy and play within the work. Physically this is an energetic, creative vinyasa where we open and strengthen most of the body with special emphasis on pelvis and shoulder opening. All levels friendly, although the pace does get a bit quick. You may want a blanket, a block and a strap for this class.

In this class we are continuing along with our Yoga with the Elements series as we blaze into the element of Fire. Join me for this strong and heat-generating practice to cultivate the element of passion, discipline, confidence, power, purification, and transformation. This is definitely level 2-3, especially due to the pacing of practice. You can expect to hit most major pose groups, with an emphasis on twisting and functional core work to fire up the solar plexus. Two blocks will be handy for this practice. Last thing: you will hear in my voice and even see in the lymph nodes in my neck: I am still a little swollen and stuffy from my recent cold I had, so thanks for bearing with me there :)

In this slow flow practice, we remember that slow does not necessarily mean passive or easy. While I teach in an all levels friendly way with modifications and support, I do offer some intermediate options to take poses deep for a juicy and complete stretch in the lower body (outer hips, glutes, hamstrings, and thighs) along with the spine. While it isn't specifically a New Moon class, I did happen to film this on a New Moon and it does have that kind of new beginning flavor to it. Let's make space in the body, release tension, and welcome new energy in. You will need a thick towel or blanket roll for some myofascial release, and two yoga blocks for practice. You might also want a wall to deepen one of the poses, but not necessary and can be done without.

This is a full spectrum, challenging Vinyasa yoga class to help us access the emotion of anger and to let it move through us in a healthy way. There is such a need for healthy channels to feel challenging emotions like anger. As it is full spectrum, you can expect every pose family to be touched on as we explore both strength and flexibility. Not beginner friendly, but if you have some experience with yoga you will find something in this class that is good for you. We do build towards Hanumanasana practice and there are opportunities for handstand lovers to go upside down. I will even say, it's one of my favorite classes I have filmed in a while. I hope this serves you well.

As the title suggests, this is an advanced class where we reach towards challenging poses of all varieties: standing balance, flexibility, core, backbends, deep twists, and arm balance. We work towards a big twisting arm balance called Eka Pada Koundinyasana, but even if you don't "land" that pose, there is a lot to gain from this class. Thematically the focus is on feeling fully alive, and allowing our practice to be a celebration of that. While this practice is certainly not easy, it is a lot of fun. You will need two yoga blocks for this class.

This one is made for my strong practitioners, and is definitely not an all levels practice! I’d call it intermediate-advanced as we move pretty fluidly through strong shapes like standing poses, side planks, big heart openers, and a couple inversion opportunities. Focus is on heart opening, but the whole body gets opened and strengthened in preparation for these backbending shapes. Enjoy this mandala flow!

This class was SO much fun to film! I would not recommend for my level 1 friends as we move fairly quickly between postures that are challenging in strength, flexibility, and balance. We strengthen through the lower body, open through the hips big time, rinse the shoulders, and decompress the spine. Contemplation is all around the power flowers hold and how we can embody that with loving compassion towards ourselves. No arm balances or inversions.

This class is a fluid blend of strength and stretch. We build up a flowy vinyasa sequence where we prioritize finding rhythm in the breath. I’d consider it an all levels class especially in the first half. The second half of class builds up towards some intermediate opportunities in pose expressions. As always, listen to your body and modify as you need. I found this sequence to be really dynamic, fun, and exploratory for the whole body and spirit. I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Y'all, I got a fun one for you today! Join me for an hour of challenging power vinyasa practice with a focus on squeezing in as many forms of side plank pose as we can, including the big backbend side plank and Visvamitrasana: "friend of the universe" pose. This is definitely an advanced practice in terms of quick pace, vigorous strength, deep flexibility, and the way in which I cue postures. You might want yoga blocks, a yoga strap, and maybe some knee padding. While this isn't a new years special class, I filmed it at the end of the year - on the last full moon - and it can be a sweet note to end the year on and welcome in a sense of play as we turn the calendar over to 2025.

This class is designed to give you some quiet time for yourself during the hustle-bustle of the holiday season, or for any time you need to carve out some time for you. Class is slow and juicy, and we work towards some very deep flexibility postures: pigeon, frog, twisting wide fold, fire log, and sun dial are some highlights. There is also a cute arm balance opportunity towards the end. After a 5-minute or so introduction, I intentionally give a lot less cues and chatter in this class to leave space for you to really be in your own quiet energy as a way to recover from some of the over-stimulation in the outside world. Most levels friendly, but with less alignment offered maybe not level 1. You will need a strap, one or two yoga blocks, and maybe knee padding. Join me for active stretch in peace and quiet.

I’ve been getting more requests lately for challenging vinyasa yoga classes, and this one certainly delivers with the challenge. Join me for a full hour of past paced and strong flow where the whole body gets some attention, but special emphasis is on hip and heart opening. You can expect a bit of everything asana-wise: standing / balance, plank and side plank variations, deep flexibility, arm balancing, and big backbends. This class felt soulful for me, even though it was a very physically focused practice. Intermediate - advanced level.

This is a unique class in flavor and feel, and it left my body feeling delicious, open, and warm. Practice starts with foam rolling, and it really is worth doing that portion of class as it increases our body's ability to open in flow. If you don't have a foam roller, the flow starts around the 12:47 mark. The flow itself is intuitive, fluid, gets the whole body more flexible and strong. In pace it hovers somewhere between slow flow and Vinyasa. All levels friendly, with an opportunity to invert towards the end of practice for those who like going upside down! You may want two yoga blocks, knee padding, and access to a wall if you are wanting to invert. Class ends with some quiet time in Savasana accompanied by some clips from a snowy walk I took for ambient vibes.

Inspired by a recent trip to the sea, this class is asking us how we can hold a soft power like the ocean. How can we be strong without being tense? How can we be powerful, yet adaptable, fluid, and not rigid? We explore deep flexibility and grounding strength throughout the body, in this oceanic Vinyasa flow. In the recording, I say it is a most levels class, but I realize I think it is more intermediate territory after filming it. I don't offer many modifications, so please feel free to modify as you need to and make this flow work for YOUR body. I do offer modifications in many of my all levels classes, and the beauty of practicing a lot over time is you an learn how to adapt and tailor your practice to your needs - even when I don't cue you to. There is an opportunity at the end for some big flexibility shapes and an arm balance, but before that final big sequence I do give the option to stop the video as the practice is complete without that. You might want a yoga strap, yoga blocks, and knee padding for practice.

I wanted to film one more long, juicy, deep vinyasa yoga class for you before the year ended. Join me for just over an hour of all levels, yet challenging yoga. I like to remind my students, all levels does not always mean easy! Although, it does mean there are options to modify up or down in your own practice. I demonstrate options for easing up or intensifying many of the poses in class. Certainly a strengthening practice for the whole body, but we also get real open in the shoulders, hips, and spine. Let's warm up our cold winter bones!

This vinyasa is a deep, full body expansion with lots of strength to boot. Join me for this rich and very complete feeling flow where we contemplate ideas of awareness, consciousness, and celebration within challenging postures. Keep a sense of humor by your side as you explore arm balances (and/or falling over), and one of my favorite deep flexibility poses: Surya Yantrasana. This is not all levels friendly, more for my intermediate-advanced friends. Meditation and Savasana included in the class.

Are you trying to rebuild strength and endurance in your yoga practice? Me too! Join me for this full spectrum class where we hit on a little bit of everything in a spicy, fast paced flow. In the class itself I talk about how class is mixed levels - but having done it now I’d say it’s more like level 2 and upwards. I do offer breaks throughout this strong class to catch breath and ground energy. If you’re trying to work towards stronger yoga, or if you already practice stronger vinyasa, this is a great class for you. Remember: you can always modify and take breaks! Feeling challenged really is a part of yoga. We explore standing poses, twists, folds, back bends, core strength, inversions, and hip openers before enjoying a quiet Savasana together.

*You may want a wall you an kick up onto and a pillow or bolster for class.

In this hour long yoga class, we start slow in a gentle and conscious warmup, but we do end up building up towards a somewhat fast paced vinyasa flow practice that gets us warm, strong, and open in preparation for a deep hip opener called Padmasana, also known as lotus pose. In addition to opening the hips, we strengthen the core a bit, and the side body and shoulders get some stretchy love too. I'd call this class hovering around intermediate, although I think an experienced beginner could gain from this class as well with modifications. A quiet Savasana is included at the end of practice.

This was intended to be an all levels practice and it certainly is as I offer modifications for both beginner and advanced practitioners, but I labeled as mixed levels because towards the end we get into some pretty expansive shapes. This is a slow and *juicy* vinyasa that is physically geared towards opening the heart, the hips, and the spine. We start with seated meditation, flow into some heat, get a good stretch, and close with mini Savasana. This one felt so good on my stiff body and I hope it does for yours too!

This week I have a strong, super stretchy, cardiovascular, and sweaty practice for you all. Join me for just over an hour of playful power vinyasa where we focus on cultivating joy - which is actually a major tenant of yoga philosophy! As a fun way to shake things up, I have a student from the membership community, Angie, demonstrating the entire practice. This is a nice opportunity to hear my cues and adjustments from the perspective of another body. I'd consider this practice intermediate-advanced as it is pretty demanding on the whole body as we explore side body length, core strength, upper body strength and mobility, deep hamstring stretch, balancing on the legs and arm balance opportunities.

Lastly, this playlist could be nice to pop on after the seated meditation portion: manipura power vinyasa

While this class was filmed as a way to celebrate the New Year, it is a great practice to come to any time you want to initiate a new chapter from a place of steadiness. If you have never done a 108-sun-salutation practice before, be ready to build some serious heat and face some humbling moments! I start class with some important notes to keep in mind through this challenging style of practice, and I remind you of ways to modify as you need. After the first few rounds of Surya Namaskar, practice turns into a moving meditation where I simply keep the count of rounds going so you can mostly be in your own zone. I close class with a seated meditation, a few finishing poses, and a full savasana. This left me feeling grounded and empowered to start the new year (aaand.... pretty sore the next day!). You don't need to do all 108 rounds to gain from this practice: if you decide to end the sun salutations early, you can skip to around the 54 minute mark to begin your cool down.

I have a pretty delicious practice for my advanced asana lovers this week. In the video I say it’s intermediate at the beginning, but after watching it through I realized it is quite a challenging practice. It is actually a full personal practice of my own, that I decided to add a voiceover to. That being said, my practice is weird as you will see. We start with breathwork, myofascial release with a foam roller, and within the vinyasa we do some slow and juicy stuff and other fast challenging transitions. If you want to skip the foam rolling, go to about 10 minutes into the video to get straight into the flow.
Remember: If you don’t get every pose or transition it’s okay! This class is worth taking a few times over to get the hang of it. Class includes basically all pose families you can think of… twists, binds, arm balance, standing, backbends, deep flexibility. We end with a short Savasana, I encourage you take longer. I hope you enjoy this really different style of class.

Like the title says, this is certainly a FIRE practice! It's an extended practice, almost like a mini workshop. In this class, I offer you the opportunity to throw yourself into the fires of transformation - while at the same time honoring yourself as lovable and whole just the way you are. We do not only find heated transformation through the physical burn, but also through mindset and internal exploration. This is the first of many classes I plan to bring you around my love of Tantric philosophy, and how we can explore it in our practice. The first 15 minutes or so of class starts slow with some chit-chat from me around the paradox of self embrace and welcoming transformation, sharing a verse from the Radiance Sutras, conscious breathing, and rolling out muscle tension using a blanket or foam roller. But after that, the remaining 55 minutes of class is a very physically strong practice where the whole body gets opening and strengthening as we work towards some challenging, fun and humbling arm balances. Opportunity to explore handstand at the wall is also sprinkled in. You will need two yoga blocks, and a foam roller or a blanket for this class.

This is my first class filmed in our new home in The Netherlands! I would probably label this class at somewhere around upper intermediate, although it could certainly be modified in to an all levels practice by listening to your body. We get real open and strong through the shoulders, thoracic spine, thighs, and hips in this extended practice. Also includes some focused pranayama. My body felt real good after this one and I hope yours does too!

I am so excited to bring you this full length workshop to the membership! We go deep in this workshop with me sharing some of my personal story and experience with backbends / heart opening practice, followed by some philosophical teachings and explaining the physical recipe required to go deep (and stay safe!) in your own backbending practice. We move into a full Vinyasa practice to get the body warm and prepared before exploring big backbend shapes. You will find in this journey that heart opening is so much more than physical, but also can be emotionally and energetically liberating. Let me show you that your heart really does want to open more than you can imagine. This workshop is all levels friendly. You will need: a blanket roll, two yoga blocks, and a strap for this class.
