I spontaneously felt the call to provide a special guided meditation to help nourish and ground you during these turbulent times. Join me for these 15 minutes of breathing and visualization. Let me carry you just as you are. Let yourself nourish and fill yourself up. We’ve got this.

Mudras are such a special part of the yogic path. Join me for a short and sweet breakdown of what mudras are, and some meditative practice of my top 3 mudras for grounding down. Great for times of overwhelm, stress, excitement, or any time you feel you just need a pause and to connect to the earth.

Meditation is one of our greatest tools in helping us find support from inside of ourselves, rather than always seeking it outside of ourselves. Join me for this seated meditation practice and contemplation around finding stability within, especially during times of uncertainty, change and transition. Which is pretty much always, right? My wish is for you to leave this class feeling a bit more grounded and resourced.

In this 20 minute sitting practice, I offer tidbits around the idea of compassion, and the importance of bringing more radical compassion into our world. Get cozy and enjoy a little chat, some mantra (chanting/song), and a brief contemplation/meditation/reflection moment. This class is definitely getting into more of the philosophical and spiritual side of yoga, with teachings from the beloved Ram Dass. Words to the song we chant: Om Mani Mani Padme Hum / Om Mani Om Mani Padme Hum There's a jewel in the lotus flower / unfolding deep within my soul / to be a jewel in the lotus flower / unfolding is the highest goal

If you have never tried lymphatic drainage massage, I highly encourage you to try it out with this short and sweet class. This is a practice my massage therapist encouraged me to dive into with my chronic neck and trapezius/shoulder tension. I was shocked at how much this practice helped me ease my tension not just physically, but also energetically. Great for times when you feel you are getting a little sick, when you're stressed, or any time you could use some gentle kindness towards yourself and your body. Doing regular lymphatic drainage massage is great for improving immune function, stress recovery, and for feeling more grounded yet light. This is a seated class with no actual yoga practice, but it is a great supplement to a yoga practice.

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 short practice, great for busy days when you still want to get your movement activation in. In this class we move at a pretty quick pace through strong postures to invigorate the body and cultivate some courage and confidence within. While the poses are strong, I would not say any of them are advanced, leaving this at a most/all levels friendly class. This class may be best to take in the earlier part of the day, or whenever you like to energize.

This might be my favorite sitting practice I have recorded for the membership yet..! We take our time immersing ourselves into an extended breathwork (pranayama) session and move our way into a deep, centering dhyana (meditation) practice. I take a moment at the beginning to breakdown the difference between breathwork and meditation, and you might experience through practice how the breath is really an amazing tool towards finding the meditative state of simply being. I offer an opportunity to journal or reflect at the end as well. Lastly, Dante my kitty shows up a bit at the beginning and at the end - his cute little chirps and flops don't intrude on the meditation itself :) I've been feeling when he visits class, it only adds, just like when sweet little Friday used to visit us in older videos.

Chances are, you have some tension living in your neck, shoulders, and trapezius muscles that you are wanting to release! Most of us harbor tension in these areas of the body. Join me for just under 30 minutes of sweet, sweet release. You’ll want a block, blanket, and strap (or belt or scarf) for class. All levels friendly (yup, including level 1!)

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.

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.

Do you struggle with anxiety or over stimulation? Or maybe you’re feeling over excited? Stuck in your head? Maybe you’re neurodivergent? Or maybe you just need to ground your energy? If any of these apply to you, this class is designed to help you get out of your head and into your body through breath, posture, and physical tactile touch. The poses are quite simple and class is taught in a way to include my level 1 friends, but all levels of yoga practitioners can enjoy this nice, simple, sweet and nurturing practice. Most of the body gets opened up through both standing and seated poses.

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.

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.

Join me for just under 40 minutes of movement to get out of your head and into your body. The whole body gets some attention, but this flow is extra focused on lower body strength and flexibility as we work towards some beloved standing balance postures. All levels friendly - but vinyasa by nature is faster in pace. You’ll need a strap for practice. Blocks and a knee pad are optional.

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.

A slower paced yoga practice where we contemplate change both inside and outside of ourselves. Although it is gentle, we still do postures that tone and open most major areas of the body. I start out with a bit of a longer introductory chat to hopefully inspire and ground you in times of change. Good mix of supine, seated, and standing postures. This is one of the oldest classes on the membership, so while the video quality is not as clear as the newest videos, it is honestly a great class that holds up. All levels.

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.

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.

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 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 :)

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.

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.

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 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.

Let’s be real: life has been heavy for many recently. That’s why I felt called to bring us a playful vinyasa to help us lighten up! Let’s invoke the energy of play to brighten our spirits and to remember: we deserve to enjoy our precious days. While this is definitely all levels friendly with propped modifications, there are also opportunities to deepen with binds and balance postures. Physically you can expect to get open through the whole body and strong through the legs.

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.

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.
