This is a 37 minute (including savasana) practice that brings together some of my favorite “feel-good” poses and movements. Nothing too strenuous and not a ton of focus on alignment in this class – just classic shapes that make it easier to breathe and feel-good in your body. We start in a long hold in childs pose, and utilizing work in table and puppy dog pose to begin getting into the spine, upper back, chest and shoulders. We move through a variety of lunges with variations for creating space in the body and play with some dancing warrior 2s. We round out our practice with some twisting malasana (squat), seated hip release in bound angle, a bridge and a supine twist before settling into savasana. Read More
This is a 25 minute practice meant to boost your heart rate, build some heat and give you steady movement, especially for those of you who are feeling cooped up right now. We move nonstop for the first 18 minutes, and then slow it down to leave ourselves balanced before heading into our day. Our steady flow includes dynamic movement in lunges, warriors and balance poses, with visits to boat, plank, and mountain climbers. You’ll likely be a little winded and a little sweaty by the end of this class. Fair warning. Read More
35 minute flow created to help get you out of your mind, and down into your feet, and ultimately into your body. Utilizing movement, breath and asana to help ground our sometimes crazy monkey mind. This is a level 2 steady flow class.
20 minute core-focused flow to prep the body for 1 legged balance poses – specifically Warrior 3. This is a level 2 steady flow class – meaning that very little instruction is given on HOW to do the postures – and is more focused on getting you moving and connected to your body/breath.
25 minute Rise & Shine flow meant for the start of your day – but honestly, this video could be used anytime during the day when you need to move and energize the body and the mind. This practice builds to camel pose, so is generally a front body opening class. This is an all levels class. Happy Practicing!

30 Minute steady flow that focuses on opening the side body, shoulders and hips to prepare you for mermaid (or merman) and dolphin or forearm stand. This is intended as a Level 2 flow class – but lots of options are given to make it all levels.
20 Minute Slow & Steady Flow – for those days when you just want to move with your breath and need to hit refresh.
The movements and transitions in this sequence are slowed down a bit – but nothing is held for more than a couple breaths and therefore there’s not much explanation or instruction of poses. I don’t recommend this class for beginning yogis.
I also give several options in class – including handstand and arm balance options if you want them, but I always give alternatives if you don’t.
30 minute Layered Flow which gives us both an opportunity to hold postures and to flow with our breath. The holds are meant to give us space to build integrity and to focus on alignment. And then the movement challenges that integrity. Can we build safe postures in stillness and then maintain that awareness and alignment as we start to move with the breath?
This class is in response to those of you who come to my regular studio classes, who wanted a similar flow to take home. The pace of this class is quick and is meant for a Level 2/3 class. There is very little pose instruction or break down. For those of you newer to my style and flows, I repeat each of the sequences 2-3 times in this video, so be patient with yourself, or even back up the video. You’ll pick up the sequences!
25 minute Non-Stop Flow. Moving Meditation. This class will build heat and is meant to connect you with your breath and focus the mind. A one minute inversion option is given at the end of the class.

25 minute Grounded Flow for those days that you want to remain close to the ground, or for yogis who are avoiding leg weight bearing activities. The class will focus on core and arm strengthening, with a sprinkling of hip stabilizer strengthening and hip opening. Enjoy Yogis!

50 minute Level 2/3 vinyasa flow class that will open the hips from every direction – preparing us for and leading to full splits, hanumanasana. Preparing for full splits requires more than just opening the hamstrings. This class includes flows preparing for and holds in reclined hero, frog pose, pigeon pose and finally, full splits.

25 minute Level 1/2 – 2 slow and steady flow. This flow is all about slowing down. This will be a continuous, nonstop flow, but will never move very quickly. I encourage you to find a slow rhythm to your breath as you start class, and spend your transitions in this class really enjoying the spaces in between the poses. We rush enough in life, no need to rush through our yoga practice as well. Enjoy yogis!!
