As a fun treat for the holidays, this class is themed around a complicated, advanced posture called kapinjalasana, or Partridge Pose.

This is one of my favorite flows I have taught in a while. It leads into backbends slowly and methodically and opens and heats the body. Sweaty and luxurious, it preps the body for heart openers. Enjoy team! There is also really amazing music during savasana, so don't skip that.

In daily life, we tend to stand on our feet, but in some yoga positions we do this weird thing where we stand on the knees and the shins. When the knee is down and we only have half a leg underneath us, however, we can gain a better understanding of the way the hip is moving and functioning. In t...

This class is a little like doing laundry on the inner landscape of your body: there are moments of shaking, lots of flowing, and a fair amount of side bending and twisting. On the final spin cycle, you might do an arm balance or two. The best part? You don’t have to carry your laundry back home ...

When the heat of Summer is here, we don't need to move much to make ourselves sweat. If we surrender to the hot weather, however, our bodies can often release more fully into our yoga postures than they will in the dead of Winter.
