2020 YOGA RETREAT ALERT (see below)!

This is a 75-minute Classic Flow. For those still searching for the perfect gift (for yourself; you know, to make the Holidays bright), look no further. This is it. I invite you to discover ease and contentment in your own being as you flow through this rebalancing Vinyasa class. This breath-focused class is the ultimate moving meditation to balance the body in every direction - top to bottom, left to right, front body to back body. We begin with attention to breath, then explore dynamically making space in the thoracic spine - a theme that will show up many times during this class. Lunging Sun Salutations A explore hip extension and hamstring flexion breath to movement, then rounds of standing series dial the hips open, one featured pose at a time - Crescent Lunge, then Warrior 1, then Warrior 2 and finally Horse/Goddess squat. Balance elements highlight the need for stability through engagement in the lower body. Camel pose takes advantage of the hip extension work and offers the opportunity to explore the space created in the mid-back. The juicy wind-down features seated hip openers and their counter-poses. We work up to Firelog pose, through Half-Pigeon and Baby Cradle pose. You will feel like one happy baby by the time you roll onto the back and rock side to side. As stillness washes over you, you will know exactly what to do with your breath. Just be with it, one beginning, middle, and end at a time. Happy Holidays, Yogis! 

2020 YOGA RETREAT ALERT! A shout out to yogis who like to travel and are looking to plan some away-yoga-down-time into their upcoming 2020. I am planning my week-long yoga retreat offerings for the second half of 2020. I am thinking Bali in the Fall and Sayulita, Mexico in December. If you are interested in receiving more information, email me at [email protected]. The gist is this – I am partnering with the highly-reviewed Drishti Journeys to offer you a transformative yoga and travel experience: two daily yoga practices, lots of local color and exploration, fantastic food, and decadent accommodations at private villas. Retreat group size is intimate, so there will be a lot of quality time with yourself and the natural beauty around you.
