It has taken me years to understand how to work with my hamstrings effectively. I always felt like they were tight and that they would never open up. In the past five years, I've learned a thing or two and this class is distillation of that learning into a 40-minute class that will help you progr...

Forrest Yoga is the particular methodology that really made me fall in love with yoga. It takes its name from its creator (Ana Forrest) and offers a very unique approach to the asana practice. When I lived in Boston it was my primary practice and I've continued to study with senior teachers in th...

When the calves are locked up, it becomes hard to work with the knee and the ankle. When we release the calf, we are better able to deeply bend the knee and stand tall on the shins. This class takes you on an adventure, working on your lower legs in order to open up two seemingly unrelated poses:...

Dive into some shoulder mobility and strengthening, work into your inner legs and hips and move with breath and fun transitions. This class uses 2 blocks and 1 strap loop or light mini loop band to facilitate space, stability, strength, control and connection to the shoulders, core and hips.

If you want to learn how to perform arm balances or deep forward folds you need to first learn how to release your hips and side waist in such a way that your outer ribs can make contact with your inner thighs. This fun, flowing sequence helps you make some sense of this peculiar action. You have...

This entire class is built around moving with the breath, salutation after salutation after salutation. We don't really hold any poses until about 50 minutes into class -- up until that point it's almost non-stop movement. The choices are mindful, the chaturangas are optional and the sequences sh...

Most of our habits as modern humans create patterns where the shoulder and the arm fall forward in space. When the arms get stuck on the front of the body, tension is created in the shoulder, neck and chest and it becomes challenging to bare weight on the hands and wrists without discomfort. In t...

The sides of the body are the banks of the river in your yoga practice: If they are long and stable, you are set up to do pretty much anything. This is a repetitive, flowing practice that buildings lateral length and strength while progressing towards poses like half moon and side plank. No props...

A year spent mostly inside due to COVID-19 has created some extra tension in our hips (all that sitting) and our shoulders (all those Zoom calls). This short class is meant to help you chisel out some of that thickness. It prepares you to do some backbends, but we end in a sweet yin pose rather t...

Two blocks or no props. This is a hippy, circular practice that helps bring you back into your center. Enjoy!

You will need a blanket and your blocks for this practice. We will work on getting our legs under us by releasing the backs of the legs to then get into the outer hips and IT band. To Handstand practice, backbends and crossed legged shapes. Enjoy!

Compass Pose (vishvamitrasana) is classically taught as an arm balance, but there are tons of other variations of the pose's basic archetype. In addition to deep understanding of how your hips function, this posture requires length and strength through the sides of the body. In particular, you mu...

This is a fun vinyasa sequence that breaks the mold a bit; there are no sun salutations, no "linking vinyasas" and absolutely zero chaturanga pushups. Expect to spend most of the early portion of class rolling around on the floor stretching and strengthening your hip and side body musculature. A ...

This is a fun flowing practice that explores backbends and twists and the relationship between the two. There's a good amount of hamstring contraction added in for good measure to support the low back as the backbends progressively get deeper.

I broke a serious sweat with this class -- it felt g...

The beauty of the shoulder blades is that they can be stabilized in so many positions, and everywhere you put them offers more and more possibilities. This class plays with some of the awesome things you can DO when you find all of the potential homes for your scapula.

80 min Blocks and a Blanket

67 min 1 Belt, 2 Blocks, and a Blanket

This is a deceptively simple vinyasa practice that will teach you how to create length in the sides of your body, allowing the spine to grow taller at the center. Class is purposefully repetitive. When we attempt the same poses over and over again, the mind is able to relax and the body is able t...

75 min. 2 Blocks and Belt. Whether you are still on the ground or ready for take off, this class is all about HANDSTAND and how to organize the body for optimal handstand play, plus we play with lots of fun ways to engage your core. It is the gift that keeps giving and you will feel it for a few ...

60 min. Blocks if you got em.

When we practice yoga at home - especially in NYC Apartments - we often don't have the same amount of physical space that we typically have in a yoga studio. While it can be frustrating to feel confined, this limitation can actually help us learn to find more space within ourselves.

This is a ch...
