a great exhale
Dec 27, 2020
We exhale 2020 and use every muscle in the body to do it. Start with some serious wrist care and core work, and then fire the muscles of pressing — with headstand, forearm stand and wall-handstand pressing.
Agni – Digestion
Nov 29, 2020
Call upon metaphorical Agni to ignite your digestive fire. Rev up metabolism and –even better– facilitate transformation from the inside out w/ twists, binds, and balances. Find a fun & surprisingly accessible handstand pike practice at the wall.
cozy & strong
Nov 1, 2020
In this one, start mellow enough and be carried to poses like forearm stand w/ hanumanasana. Experiment with turning your inversion into a backbend. We start with alternate nostril breathing — a calming pranayama.
(im)practical Strength
Aug 1, 2020
When you’re stronger, the whole day is easier. Carry out your good work in the world from a strong center. This flow starts out with some calisthenic-style strengthening and then morphs into a flow you can lose yourself to.
gardener’s tonic
July 18, 2020
This feel-good practice considers you gardeners and yard workers in particular — or really anyone who’s feeling the soreness of daily activity. We focus on strengthening the glutes (a known, common weak spot) as well as the core in order to encourage healthy, balanced movement the whole day through.
waking up
July 4, 2020
In this luxurious practice, we begin reclined and wake up systematically, respectfully, and joyfully. This is the sort of practice you can do every single day for whole-body health.
quiet strength
June 27, 2020
In this practice, we take a few minutes to arrive and center before entering a deceivingly mellow, grittily powerful flow. Expect glute work, core work, leg & arm work, along with forearm stand opportunities.
tenacity
June 6, 2020
When we keep showing up for the practice, it starts showing up for us. Move through this core-strengthening practice with opportunities to get upside down. Try an arm balance transition that takes you from flying pigeon to a pigeon-koundinyasana hybrid.
uddiyana bandha, chin stand & peacock prep
March 1, 2020
A blanket might be helpful.
This is just as much a workshop as a flow. We work on three separate skills: uddiyana bandha, chin stand, and mayurasana (AKA peacock pose).
listening for guidance
Feb 23, 2020
Beginning with the intention to listen to the Universe’s clues directing us, we move calmly yet swiftly into a leggy and core-strengthening flow. Find side planks with many variations to tone the shoulders, core, and legs.
Begin!
Jan 5, 2020
Yoga teaches that we have a chance to begin anew in every moment. Let the turn of the year inspire you to finally make that change, do that thing, accomplish that goal.
Flowidity
Dec 22, 2019
Hey, Love Warriors,
A strong end to the year!
Flowidity is a word my co-leader and I accidentally uttered during this year’s teacher training program. The group liked it so much they made us a t-shirt.
Sweat
Dec 22, 2020
When you’ve been doing for a long time, it doesn’t necessarily make you sweat every time. Not that it has to. Yoga’s benefits are its lengthening, strengthening, and breath/mind balancing.… Read More “Sweat”
Socks!
Use your socks to dig deep into your core. Build whole-body strength by gliding back and forth through your arms. This practice takes you step-by-step through jump-through and jump-back practice, giving you chances to stretch and recover in the wrists, shoulders and neck.… Read More “Socks!”
Joint Stabilization
This practice stabilizes major joints — in particular, the hips and the shoulders. We also tap in to the strength of the deep core to create safe, practical, and sustainable movement.… Read More “Joint Stabilization”
