After making it through the first trimester, the second trimester of pregnancy is a great time to gently build some strength to support you and your changing body, and by proxy the little one you’re carrying! This class is *slightly* more active, but still done in a slow, very mellow, and well-researched way for pregnant bodies. A little strength in arms and legs, a little stretch for hips and chest. Even if not pregnant, this can be a nice class to get in your body in a conscious, kind way.

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.

How lucky are we that Morgan gave us not one, but two of her classes to our community?? This class felt absolutely amazing in my body, a perfect little full body tune up for the days you don't want to push too hard but still want full body expansion and grounded, earthy connection.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 to be taken after you are already warmed up, so do at least a few sun salutations before pressing play. Just as the title suggests, I offer yummy stretches for you to luxuriate within. You can expect a full body expansion in this short and sweet practice. Super chill, all levels friendly. Can be practiced on its own, or after my 20 min Level 1/All Levels HIIT Yoga Workout, or one of my other short stronger classes.

In this practice, we flow in a slow and juicy way to open up the hips and the pelvic area. We observe how interconnected the hips and the jaw are in the way they hold and release tension as we gently massage our jaws within a few postures, and we do open up through the spine and shoulders a bit as well. This practice is a voiceover since it’s recorded in my art studio! Enjoy the change of pace and scene. All levels practice with opportunities to deepen the flexibility for intermediate practitioners.

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.

What does it mean to "ground your energy"? How is it helpful? What are some techniques you can use to ground in? Tune in to this short class for answers to these questions via a little chat, some guided meditation, breathwork, mudra, and a handful of low-to-the-earth yoga postures to help you feel grounded and centered. All levels friendly, including level 1.

I am absolutely honored to present this class to you all. Meet Morgan, one of my dearest soul friends and favorite yoga teachers. Morgan teaches from a well of deep experiential knowledge, Indigenous wisdom, and from a sacred place in all of her classes. I hope you enjoy having a little something different with our first guest teacher appearance on the membership!

You know those hot summer days where all you want to do is flop on the floor and barely exist? This yin yoga practice is just for that. Join me for half an hour of extremely relaxing, nourishing yin yoga where we learn to embrace laziness as something we deserve, something to celebrate, and something we honestly need sometimes. This class is all levels friendly. You will want a thick blanket (or a few), a pillow/bolster (or a few), and a yoga strap (or any belt). Two yoga blocks (or big books) would also be helpful, but a bit less essential than the other props.

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).

Sometimes, a simple all around maintenance practice is just what the doctor ordered. Join me for this short yet satisfying full body slow flow practice, where the emphasis is on grounding the body and the energy through mostly mild postures rather than achieving any big, demanding shapes. As I get older, the cliche of "less is more" starts to feel more and more true, and this feeling is embodied in this slow flow yoga practice. This class is all levels friendly, and is even suitable for my level 1 friends. If you have two yoga blocks, you will want them for practice, as well as maybe some padding for your knees.

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.

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.

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.

Join me for just over half an hour of sweet, sweet RELEASE! Whether you are a beginner practitioner, advanced athlete, an office worker, a hard working parent, or anything else: I promise this class will benefit you. We all need to take the time to release the tension in our muscles in ways that stretching just can’t do, and this class teaches you how to do that. Also some contemplation around body acceptance: another reminder we could all use!

You will need either a foam roller, a massage ball, or a tennis ball for this practice.

Not gonna lie, this yin yoga class is one of the yummiest ones up on the membership yet! We spend the entire class lying on our backs in a subtle and soft heart opening shape, so even while we open the hips, the chest gets a nice expansion. Thematically, we focus on surrender, release, and softening for the body and the emotional landscape. This is a great class for times of burnout, stress, over excitement, sore muscles from strength training, pain or limitation in the body, those first tricky days of your menstrual cycle, for those with PCOS, heartbreak, and for any of us who could use a good release (which, honestly, I think might be all of us..!). Join me for this full body exhale.

Another uniquely styled practice where I offer a fusion of two of my favorite styles of yoga, Yin and Vinyasa! Different from a VinYin, we weave together Yin and Vinyasa in a fluid way. Think: activated yin. We flow a bit, and pause between flowing in yin-like holds. This is intended to be a nourishing practice for the whole body as well as the mind. You might want some yoga blocks, a blanket, and a cushion for class today. A strap might come in handy once as well but not required.

Welcome to the first class of my mini series: Yoga with the Elements! Today we are diving into the energy of the Earth Element and learning how we all need this energy to feel calm, stable, grounded, supported, and reliable in our bodies, minds, and hearts. This is a slow Hatha style type of flow with a physical focus on grounding through the feet, legs, and hips. An all levels, very accessible practice. You will need two yoga blocks, a weighted bolster or heavy folded blanket, and maybe some padding for the knees for this practice.

The New Moon is always an excellent opportunity to release whatever is binding within us. I filmed this class on the New Moon in Aries, and it’s pretty special to practice within this weekend, but it can be done during any time you need a release, no matter what lunar cycle it currently is. Simple, restorative postures for all levels softening. Grab your pillows and props and let’s chill!

Often when we are on a journey towards a goal or fighting for a cause we deeply care about, it can be easy to forget to take care of ourselves. This all levels practice is designed to help you restore, refresh, and renew so you can sustain your energy for the long haul. We do some conscious breathing, gentle floor stretches, and we close with a guided self facial massage. This class was made in partnership with NARAL, but my members get access as well :)

Needed for class: a folded blanket

Optional props: essential oil or face lotion, yoga blocks, pillow

Join me for an all levels slow flow where we welcome in the energy of Springtime on the Equinox: a day where we reflect on balance, equanimity, and a kind perspective. We start with some gentle breathwork and intention setting, and we move into a slow, simple, and sweet physical asana practice that opens most of the body up in an efficient way.

In this almost 40 minute class, we move very slowly and consciously so we can greet the body in a kind and gentle way. This class is great for quite a few groups: women in their third trimester of pregnancy, those experiencing PCOS or intense menstrual cycle side effects, anyone feeling stressed out, anyone feeling really tight in the hips and chest, those feeling limited in mobility, or if you’re even just feeling generally fatigued. Join me for a slow and simple class where we focus on gentle expansion and sweet rest.

This is a slow flow where we take our time moving through various reclined, standing, and seated postures to open up the highways of the hamstrings, the belly of the thighs, and the whole of the hips. Working on this area of the body can help us in many ways, including releasing lower back congestion. The practice is all levels friendly, with opportunities to explore deep flexibility through middle splits and straddle fold.

This Yin class is simple, spacious, and lovely. Join me for 45 minutes of Yin Yoga where I start by reading you a poem I wrote to inspire a softer way of opening and carry you through some of my all time favorite Yin Yoga poses. We get most major areas of the body nice and open in under an hour. For class you will need: a thick blanket or towel to roll up, a couple of yoga blocks, and two massage balls or tennis balls. Optionally, you can have an additional softer blanket to cozy up in. *If you do not have massage balls, class could be done without, but they are really worth investing in if you have any kind of chronic aches and pains!

Join me for 45 minutes of slow and juicy yoga. We will be physically focusing on forward folding in an all levels way, so you can expect longer hamstrings, a longer spine, and some subtle contraction of the low belly. We also open up the sides of the body, the hips, and the thighs. Lots of prop modifications offered throughout. We also contemplate the meaning of Ahimsa, the second Yama, which means non-violence, and it's role within our Asana (pose) practice.

This is an all-levels, slow flow yoga practice where we physically focus on forward folding (so, hamstring and spinal lengthening). We start out class with some seated pranayama/contemplation work with a mudra, and move into the slow, and at some moments strong, but mostly stretchy vinyasa. The contemplations in this class are great for the Winter Solstice and the New Year. Join me in slowing down and going inside to find everything we need within.

Even when there seems to be so much that is beyond our control in the world, there is a small pocket in our own hearts we are responsible for. Cultivating a peaceful world starts within ourselves, and how we treat those around us. Join me for just under an hour of intention setting, breathwork, and relaxing yin yoga poses to find peace within ourselves so we can share it with the world around us. This class helped me feel a lot more grounded even in light of devastating world news, and I hope it helps you too. Special emphasis on softening the hips, shoulders, and spine. All levels.

We had a few beautiful days here in Groningen, so I decided to film a class for you by the lake! Since the sounds of the lake and boats and the birds join us for class, I do my best to keep my talking down to a minimum and to project my voice. I mainly just talk in this class to get you in and out of poses - which can be super nice in the way of immersing yourself into your own experience for practice. At the beginning it's a bit louder with some boats, but the sounds do level out in a really nice way that I think adds to the practice, especially in the full savasana at the end. Physically you can expect a simple but juicy full body opening, slow movement, and several breaths in each pose. Great for anyone who feels the need to stretch, open, and find expansion in the major areas of the body: chest, shoulders, back, hips, legs all get some love. Enjoy!

In this slow flow class, you can expect a juicy stretch in the chest, shoulders, upper back, side body, and thighs. A true slow and mindful flow so we can savor the flavor, and contemplate moving towards new possibilities within our practice. Truly all levels friendly with modifications offered throughout. Great for opening up a tight back, accessing deeper breaths, or for any time you want to find mindful, accessible expansion. 

This week I have something different for you: a slow and special ritual to come home to yourself. This is great for times of stress, times when you need to practice letting go, times when you are showing up a lot for others but maybe not quite enough for yourself, times when you are in need of some sweet self care. We access many of the limbs of yoga beyond asana as we do breathwork (pranayama), mudra (hand gestures), mantra (chanting), intention setting, some gentle asana (poses), abhyanga (self massage with oil), and dhyana (meditation). I have included the words to the mantra below in case you feel like learning it. Lastly, I filmed this during a wind storm! If the windy sounds bother you, you can pop on my Slower Days playlist.

Medicine Buddha Mantra:

tayatha om bekandze bekandze maha bekandze radza samudgate soha

This is an all levels friendly, slow flow practice where we physically stretch the whole body open through slow transitions and juicy stretches. I filmed this a couple days before the last full moon of the winter season. Whether or not it’s the actual full moon doesn’t matter, you can tune in to experience the sweet magic of the liminal space between winter and spring. We gently warm our bodies to thaw out winter and get ready to bloom. I demonstrate a lot with blocks for class for beginners, those with bigger bodies, and at the same time there’s plenty of room to deepen if you are a more seasoned practitioner.

This class is one of the most savory classes I’ve done in a while. We move very slowly in and out of postures that open most major areas of the body in an all-levels manner. We view this practice as an extended pranayama practice: all movement is in service of celebrating our wholeness through breath. We start out with guided mudra meditation, and close with an entry into Savasana with my singing bowl. You’ll want a strap and maybe two blocks for class. Enjoy!

We really take our time arriving in this almost hour-long yin yoga practice as we gather our props, set up a cozy space, and I dive into the importance of honoring the whole of our emotional landscape. We all feel sad sometimes, it is simply part of being human. The type of yoga I practice and teach celebrates all of our emotions as sacred, including sadness, grief, and overwhelm. Enjoy this slow, kind-on-the-body-and-mind release of the emotions through pyhsical release of the low back, hips/pelvis, side body, chest, and shoulders. Savor the space to fully feel, and bear witness to the healing that can happen in such a space.

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.

For those of you who have taken class with Morgan, you know just how incredible she is at assisting us in sweet sweet release. Join her for just under an hour of yoga for nourishment at Morgan's slow and welcoming pace. Good for all levels, including level 1 friends.

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.

Oftentimes in my Yin classes, I offer a full body approach. In this class, however, we really focus in on all angles of the hips: the hip flexors and thighs, the outer glutes and hips, the inner thighs, and the low back all get lots of time to be breathed open. I offer some more gentle modifications, as well as very deep options for those who really want to dig into the hips. All levels friendly. You will want some props for class: two yoga blocks, a blanket or big towel, and a bolster or pillow or couch cushion.

As always, I aim to give most of the body a bit of opening in this Yin Yoga sequence. That said, I do give a bit of special attention to the areas of the body that help us expand our breathing capacity/reduce upper body tension: the chest, spine, belly, side body, shoulder blades. The hips and hammies do get some love too, though. We start out with some seated Pranayama, and then about halfway through our Yin poses we do a bit of gentle but juicy myofascial release with a blanket roll. This practice left me feeling light, refreshed, and spacious in the breath, body, and general sense of energy. You will need at least two yoga blocks and a thick blanket for practice. I hope you enjoy!

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.

Not gonna lie, this class felt absolutely delicious in my body and mind. Join me for an hour of investigation into the profound effect stillness can have on our muscles and our nervous system via Yin Yoga. Whether you are brand new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, there is lots to gain from this head to toe tension release. Complete with facial massage and a nice juicy Savasana. Grab all the props you got and let’s get cozy!

This is a super juicy yet very accessible slow flow yoga practice (honestly one of my favorite slow flows in a while on here!). In this class I am continuing to offer ways to look at the ideas of self love and self embrace that aim to feel feasible. Sure, we all want to learn how to love ourselves, but I think this can feel really abstract when we are in our own heads. In this class I talk a bit about learning to embrace the body itself as a celebration rather than a punishment. Physically the whole body gets a rinse here, but a bit of special emphasis on the hips / hamstrings / thighs / legs. Of course, as always in my classes, the heart space and shoulders get a little bit of unfurling as well. I offer quite some instruction on transitions and poses, so this is level 1 friendly, while also being great for more experienced practitioners as I do offer some deeper modification options as well. You will need a blanket or towel roll and two yoga blocks for class.

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 is a unique practice where we take a gentle yet juuuuicy approach to relieve tightness in the neck, shoulders, upper - mid spine, and chest. I also explain benefits of some of the poses for the health of our most vital organs: our heart and our lungs. Whether you have a tight upper back, tension headaches, suffer from anxiety, spend a lot of time hunched over, have asthma, have recently been sick, or have any desire to improve your heart or lung health: this class is for you. We start with pranayama (breath work), followed by a seated stretch portion, a few standing poses, yin poses, and a quiet Savasana. All levels friendly, including level 1. Grab a block and join me for this really nice practice.
