Yoga for Hips

A slow moving vinyasa style practice that starts with a little extra time to get centered and warm up the body, then moves into a very balanced, whole body focused vinyasa flow and ends with a little extra dose of stretching to prepare the body for rest. This is truly my favorite format to both teach and take at any time of day no matter how I'm feeling. Its a perfect way to feel present while moving mindfully.

Give your hips, hamstrings and legs some well deserved love.

This class is designed to strengthen and lengthen your hamstrings while leaving your hips feeling great. Expect a variety of shapes where you’ll work on engaging the hamstrings including bridge, lunge and triangle. Then we move into a powerful stretch series.

This class is a part of a zodiacal series to attune the physical and subtle body to the energetics of the Moon in Scorpio. It works to connect to the depths of self, and latent energy harbored in the hips and pelvis. These postures will work to open to the unseen, and help with deep breath work (pranayama) or kundalini practices. These forces open to release both what is unseen and unknown, and equally open up to the unknown potential of the self.

It can be practiced when the moon is in Scorpio, each month, or if your birth moon is in Scorpio and you'd like to accentuate the physical and mental qualities.
