Nourish & Restore Reclined Flow

2023/12/20

This is a 30-Minute Gentle Flow. This class is my offering to the mood of “I can’t even”. Wear your socks and pjs and lie down on the carpet or on your bed. No mat or athletic clothes needed. We will stay close to the ground (mostly on the back) and get lulled into relaxation and ease with simple, satisfying stretches and lots of mindful breathing. Don’t overthink it. Just lie down and let me guide you. Ideally done in the evening, this class can be enjoyed whenever you need a restful pause. If you need a few moments to yourself and have zero energy to spare, this class is for you. Enjoy!

Evening Reset Gentle Flow

2023/11/09

This is a 35-Minute Gentle Flow. Whether you have had a sedentary day or a day full of active pursuits, this breath-focused class will address it all and restore physical comfort, presence, and inner peace. We begin with a few mellow half- sun-salutations, savoring the easy inversion bliss of the forward fold, then move on to lengthening/opening the front body and un-creasing the hip fold with sphynx, bound locust, and three rounds of bridge. The rest of class is focused on hip opening with reclined figure 4 stretch, runner’s lunge, and half- pigeon. Extended child's pose invites us to draw inward and to settle there deeply. We finish with presence-building seated stretches and a few moments of calming breathwork. If you are looking for a serene vibe and a way to unwind physical and mental tension that accumulated during the day, this class is for you. Enjoy!

Express Ladder Power Flow

2023/09/28

This is a 35-Minute Power Flow. We begin standing and proceed right into a ladder flow practice - each round of Sun Salutations progressively builds on the previous one. We revisit postures again and again, while growing our range, strength, and presence. We do not stay in postures long, and this is a true breath to movement practice. The framework of this flow consists of lunging Sun Salutations, and each time we come through, we add on power transitions, prone backbends, standing postures, and balance postures. We build up to extended hand to foot pose (utthita hasta padangusthasana) and full side plank (vashisthasana). This class winds down with twists, side body lengthening, and a tad of corework. If you are looking to move, breathe, and be challenged, this class is for you. If you don’t feel like being challenged, this class is still for you because, as always, lots of modifications are offered. Enjoy!

Feel Your Whole Body Classic Flow

2023/07/22

This is a 45-Minute Classic Flow. We start standing, and we don’t stop moving for the next 40 minutes. This class is a tribute to a centering, movement-as-meditation practice. We cover virtually all the standing postures, so if you are a fan of warrior sequences, this may be your kind of class. The pace is the pace of measured breath. The difficulty level is accessible to most. The experience overall is what asana is all about - returning to the body again and again, feeling the breath, noting the heartbeat, and being fully present. If you are craving a deep in-the-body experience through yoga, this class is for you. It offers a well-rounded asana practice grounded in the vinyasa tradition. Enjoy!

Everything in 35 Classic Flow

2023/03/29

This is a 35-Minute Classic Flow. This nearly-continuous flow is my answer to requests for a shorter comprehensive practice. We begin standing at the top of the mat and continue moving until savasana is cued. The pace of this class is steady but sustainable. Lunging Sun Salutations provide the structure for the flow, and powerful, balance-based transitions challenge our habitual Vinyasa patterns. You will have a chance to pick your own adventure in getting back to downward-facing dog again and again, so feel free to mix it up and diversify the stressors on your body. Plenty of standing postures are offered in addition to standing hip opening and hip strengthening postures. We wind down with seated postures, bridge, easy reclined twists, and ball pose. If you are short on time, but would like to be long on non-frantic asana, this class is for you. Enjoy!

Core-Centric Classic Flow

2023/02/11

This is a 50-minute Classic Flow that offers a well-rounded practice strongly rooted in breath. If you have ever wondered whether vinyasa yoga is really breathing meditation disguised as movement, you may find the answer in this class. The anatomical focus of this practice is the core, and we work on both its strengthening and lengthening, while performing absolutely no sit-ups. All core-work is seamlessly built into the flow, the vinyasa variations, and transitions during Sun Salutations and standing postures. That’s right, there will be no reps of anything. Plenty of options are given for leveling up or taking it easy. No matter which route you take, this class leaves you feeling powerful and balanced. Additionally, it offers a simple pranayama technique for immediate relaxation that you can take with you anywhere. If you have been waiting to jump back into your practice or are looking to mix up a tired routine, this class is for you. Enjoy!

Winter Chill Reclined Flow

2022/01/12

This is a 30-minute Restorative Flow performed exclusively while lying down on your back. Put on some comfortable lounge clothes and cozy socks and get ready to deeply relax while addressing the needs of your hamstrings, groin, hips, and spine. This class will help you replenish your energy reserves through mindful movement and conscious attention to the breath. The flow starts and ends with dirga pranayama, an incredibly calming and grounding way of breathing. End in classic savasana or in legs up the wall, it is entirely up to you. And yes, a slow yoga class counts as a practice. We cannot just chaturanga our way to well-being. Being well requires balance. I invite you to give yourself permission to slow down and gently nurture your body and heart. Enjoy!

My Foundation Classic Flow

2021/11/16

This is a 60-minute Classic Flow, offering a well-rounded journey through classic postures with a focus on length in the side-body. After a luxurious start, we proceed to rounds of modified Sun Salutations that include Crescent Moon and Wide Leg Forward Fold. Building a strong foundation gets special attention here. We dial up the intensity as we move breath-to-movement and then level-up by adding Crescent Lunges, Triangle and Goddess to the familiar flow. The descent into stillness is mindful and slow. If you are looking for a flow that has it all, including a balance between movement and rest, this is it. Enjoy!

The Sacred Pause Slow Flow

2021/10/16

This is a 40-minute Slow Flow. If you are looking for a decadent pause from everything that draws you away from your center, this class is for you. In this class, slow and mindful asana are combined with breath for a profoundly grounding and calming experience. We wake up the spine, the sides of the body, the hips, then move into three modified Sun Salutations. A modified standing series invites you to experience familiar postures in a new way. Lastly, we finish with restorative reclined postures. Viparita kirani against the wall is offered along with hands-free nadi shodhana pranayama. We finish in shavasana that can be as long as you like. This class is medicine for the body, salve for the spirit. If you feel in need of deep nourishment, this class is for you. Enjoy!

Wake Up & Go Classic Flow

2021/08/15

This is a 50-minute Classic Flow. There are few greater pleasures in the life of a yogi than starting the day with a morning yoga practice. Roll out the mat the night before and allow yourself to step out of bed and right into your practice. (Of course, this class may be done at any time of day). We begin slowly, honoring the body’s universal desire to wake up gradually and mindfully. Before you know it, however, we are flowing breath to movement into a variation of Sun Salutations A emphasizing spinal flexibility and hamstring opening, and then into Sun Salutations B focusing on balance, standing hip opening, and power in the lower body. This class offers a well-rounded journey through both restful and effortful asana and can be done again and again due to its focus on length, suppleness, and strength. If starting your day with breath and intentional, mindful movement is your jam, this class is for you. If you prefer to start the day in a burst of frenzied activity, this class will be a positive change of pace. Try it and enjoy!

Exhale into Peace Restorative Flow

2021/07/16

This is a 15-minute Restorative Flow. In this class we explore the exhale as the key to relaxing the body and soothing the nervous system. Only five simple, yet effective restorative postures are offered, and each takes the body further into peaceful presence and stillness. No mat is needed for this flow; a carpeted floor will do just fine. If you are wound up, stressed, unable to relax, anxious, disconnected from your breath, this class is for you. There is no physical intensity here, only letting go deeper and deeper into rest and stillness by exploring the restorative power of the exhale. I invite you to give yourself the gift of breath and relaxation in just 15 minutes. Enjoy!

Hands-Free Mandala Power Flow

2021/05/22

This is a 45-minute Power Flow. This class offers a grounding, lower body and core focus and is free of any weight-bearing postures for the upper body. This front-to-back-of-mat flow features shoulder-opening arm variations in standing postures and places a strong emphasis on balance and controlled movement in and out of poses. We hold some, we flow some, we move with purpose and power. Round after round, we move deeper into challenging postures such as dekasana variations with a bind and with eagle arms. Hamstring opening work allows us to move into revolved heron pose. Cow Face posture is split in half - the arms portion shows up as a twist on Warrior Two, and the legs portion is taken on the back during the winddown. A quick restorative component leads us into a smooth and restful savasana. Enjoy!
