posterior core
Feb 14, 2021
We focus this week on strengthening the parts of the core that wrap around to the back of the body: from hamstrings to glutes and through the mid- to upper back.

float
Jan 3, 2021
We explore themes of radiance and strength in this week’s practice, beginning with core work and traipsing into handstand press walks, twists, and creative prone heart opening.
I’d love to hear how you do with it!
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.
in the heart
June 21, 2020
Beginning with kapalabhati breathing and a respectful opening, we move into a strong, heart-opening practice that takes advantage of this hemisphere’s warmth. Keeping in mind that there is no moment when yoga is not available, we move through challenging arm balance sequencing with hearts wide open and a childlike sense of play.
nadi rinse
Nov 22, 2020
Get the weight of the world off your shoulders with this energetically cleansing practice. Breathe space to clear out the major nadis — side bodies and central channel — with twisting, extra-deep folds, hip work, pike hops & heart openers.
backbends
Nov 14, 2020
Culminating in kickover-from-wheel practice (your request!), this backbendy practice doesn’t skimp on other posture categories. In all, it’s a whole-body, mindful-movement flow that weaves in opportunities for chin stand, deep folds, balance poses, core work and outer hip opening.
king dancer
Nov 7, 2020
Enhance shoulder and spine mobility with this practice that leads to King Dancer AKA Nataraj. Reap the benefit of a systematic warming and lengthening of key body parts — like the hip flexors, chest, and shoulders.
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.
earth + SKY
Apr 19, 2020
You have the option to roll the mat up and do a practice that connects you in the realest sense to the ground beneath you. We duck traditional sequencing in favor of moving in an intuitively nourishing way.
rolling w/ THE FLOW
Apr 12, 2020
This one moves in unpredictable ways. We eschew conventional movement patterns in favor of the exploratory. Roll from your back into lizard, for instance, and from down dog to eagle-legs side plank.
self-care Medicine
Apr 5, 2020
When the global community is stressed, the body tends to hold that imprint. As self-care medicine, you’ll find here feel-good sequencing, hip opening, and heart opening. You’ll also strengthen the whole frame with handstand press drills and lengthen the hip flexors with splits.
be Love
March 29, 2020
We share some sweet meditative intention setting to make room for what is, and then movement begins at around 5 mins. As the practice progresses, you’ll find binds, side planks, heart opening, and chances to get upside down — all in the context of creatively sequenced, smooth flow.
hollowback & pincha pressing
Feb, 2020
A creative flow that brings you toward pressing forearm stand. Explore hollow back, which opens the chest and shoulders. Find heart openers and counter shapes. Luxurious for the backbend lover.
Sweet Heart
We reduce tension, breathe deeply, stretch the face, and draw awareness to the internal gaze before taking a strong flow that emphasizes big, safe heart openings.

Bending Backward
Get grounded and then let your heart soar. Expansiveness is always the answer. // You don’t have to access big backbends in order to enjoy the benefits of a heart-opening class.… Read More “Bending Backward”
Freedom
The best kind of yoga invites prana into every corner of the human form. Certain hubs of the body — like the shoulders, hips and heart — tend to get stuffy, making it difficult for them to feel wholly free and light.… Read More “Freedom”
