Live Asana: Hearts & Hips from Bali 3/15/23

A morning practice on the day we explored Relational Health. Focus is on both our hearts and our hips. Once again my attempt to capture Michael singing live was thwarted, this time by Zoom trying to cancel out "background noise". Hard to do this withou...

Live Asana 3/12/23 - Restorative Yoga with guest teacher Tracey Garcia

Tracey's Last Pose Meditation:

"I invite you to delve deeper within. Move inward until the world within you is in focus, and the world outside of you becomes fuzzy – less important, like you are a camera and you are zooming ...

Live Asana: Basics Live From Bali 3/5/23 - Day One of a Soulrocker Retreat with lots of newbies!

This was a test recording to see what the quality was. Even though the angle of the camera is too high to see me and the audio is rough, I decided to post it anyway so you can share in the beauty and...

Live Asana from Bali 11/4/22 - so fun to share with you a little glimpse outside my window here at Soulshine Bali. While the video quality and lighting isn't up to my usual standards in my home studio, the same love is still there! This is a crow pose class that is easily down-shifted into a hip ...

Flow is fun but there’s something so powerful about a classic practice that invites us to sharpen our focus and hone our awareness in the individual postures.

This alignment-centered practice creates an opportunity for you to make some refinements and reconnect with the activations within postur...

Live Asana - Winter Solstice 2021 - Downtempo but still luminous. Hip openers that celebrate your inner light.

HIPnotic is one of my signature hip-centric practices and I absolutely LOVE teaching it.

Your “hip muscles” are actually quite diverse and as a very mobile ball-and-socket joint (second only to your shoulder!), it’s important to acknowledge all the muscles that act on the joint, not just the one...

Focus on the present moment has been an effective technique for getting grounded since time immemorial.

Nectar is a rich and sweet liquid produced in the depths of a flower. As such, I’ve always associated it with essence and the sweetness of our life experiences – like we savor the nectar of our experiences so we don’t miss them.

Today’s practice is nectarian in that it is slow flow leading to re...

In those times when we just feel FULL of emotions, of responsibilities, of ideas, of stress, nothing satisfies quite like a deep twisting practice to holistically wring yourself out.

This active yet methodically paced home practice combines stretching your side body with lots of different twists...

I'm not a fan of pretending we always experience love and light! Our shadow side is an amazing teacher, if we learn how to work with it skillfully. In this case, anger is something we all experience from time to time and a natural part of being human. When we try to suppress it, deny it or hide i...
