Restful Wall (Gentle Hatha + Restorative)
A nourishing blend of hatha and restorative yoga to release tension in the lower back and hips. Utilizing both the support of the wall and the earth, this practice is designed to help your body feel held, offering the nervous system and mind reassurance and relaxation.
Whole-body + Pelvic Floor Release (Therapeutic Hatha Sequence)
Adapted from Amy Stein's book Heal Pelvic Pain, this therapeutic sequence offers a whole-body gentle practice, but also is specifically designed to help reduce tension in the pelvic floor (hypertonicity).
Heart Opening Practice (Gentle Hatha + Restorative)
A short session to gently unlock tension encasing the heart center and rest deeply into soft, supported shapes. This slow and nourishing practice targets tightness in the chest and upper back and will help you to decelerate into a restful state or quiet evening.

Does tightness in your ankles limit your squat poses or other shapes in yoga? Try these tricks and techniques to bring some mindful movement into your foundation. Grab a ball, strap and block and join me and my assistant, Freya.
A slow and mellow therapeutic practice of movement, mindful release, and massage for stiff and stuck shoulder and neck muscles. This is a great sequence after a day of working at a desk or to help ease tension headaches, inviting softness and space into the shoulders.
Want to move? This energizing flow will challenge you and your beliefs about the "core." This playful practice explores a paradigm shift in my own practice. (Hint - It's not about pulling in your belly! There are other healthier ways to create a strong center).

Spring Series | April 15th Replay | Yin Yoga
The slow and soothing yin practice targets the hips and side-body to work with the liver and gallbladder meridians, associated to the element of wood and the season of spring in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Spring Series | April 8th Replay | Mellow Flow
The theme of this week's gentle flow practice was phototropism - the phenomena in plants as they naturally grow and bend towards the light. We embodied this theme through our sequence, from small contained poses like the initial potential of a seed to more expansive side-bends and opening movements as we continued to grow.
This meditation is designed for the energy near the Spring Equinox when we exist at a very balanced point between Yin and Yang, light and dark. This time of year, we may naturally feel drawn to declutter our external environments. Let this meditation help you to internally declutter your mind & physical tensions, like opening up the windows and letting in the fresh air.
