The body-mind feedback loop has a powerful impact on how you feel and show up in the world. What’s going on in your mind is constantly being expressed through your body and how your body is moving is reflecting in your mental state too!

This practice includes strong standing poses, expansive sid...

Whether it’s caused by our stress holding patterns, activities or good ole aging, sometimes our hips feel tight and creaky, especially that elusive outer hip including your gluteus medius, minimus, tensor fascia lata and IT band.

One of the lunar phases is called the New Moon, when the sun and the moon are on the same side of the Earth, giving the perspective that the Dark Side of The Moon is facing us, or that the moon has turned inward, perhaps to regroup and reboot so she can shine again.

Live Asana 1/14/24 - Effort & Ease - Sthira & Sukha

A balanced flow where effort and ease are woven together throughout. Starts seated, moves to standing, culminates in simple, grounded backbends and then settles into hip openers and savasana.

This nourishing practice focuses on three main areas for a full spectrum recuperation and rest after any kind of activity.

We start with a focus on shoulders, then spine, then bring it home with hips.

And the whole thing has a mellow vibe for the downshift you need.

Sometimes we feel a little shut down or bound tight and Emerge supports us coming back into our true selves.

Side bends, heart openers and quad stretches all activate a feeling of re-opening the front gates and stepping fully into our lives once again.

You might like to have 2 blocks and a blan...

Through a combination of standing flows and core work, we ignite the inner fire needed to transmute the bad juju into ...

When life gives us obstacles, we want to meet them with the dual powers of fortitude and flexibility. A belief in our ability to rise to the challenge but without attachment to how it unfolds.
