To practice staying soft when things get hard is one of the trickiest and most valuable skills a yogi practices. In this gentle vinyasa practice, we will do just that. We will fold, side bend, and twist our way into a softer more open heart.

The emphasis of this practice is detoxification. Enjoy a gentle warm-up, dancing warrior sequence, intentional heart-opening and upside down fun throughout. Pradeep will make you sweat and have fun throughout this class.

This 30 minute flow class has just the right amount of work and rest. We warm the body up with sun salutation and then move into our twisting and balancing flow for the day.

What if life balance was found in presence? Harvard research claims that we are the most over informed and under reflective civilization in history. A life without margin leaves no space for reflection or understanding. Richard Swenson said that margin is the space that once existed between ourselves and our limits. When present in yoga practice, we can find balance before we rush past our limits. Plan to be challenged in this full body practice with the intention to pursue the ease found in presence.

When you're short on time, but don't want to sacrifice the experience of a full-length juicy Vinyasa flow practice, this is the class for you. You'll practice plenty of twists, balancing poses, planks, and Wild Thing and finish feeling invigorated. *No savasana included, but add your own if time allows!

Somedays we just need a jump start. Skip your morning cup of coffee and fuel your body with this heat building devotion. Slow your breath, focus your mind and get the fuel you need from your own inner flame. This class will push you just enough to ignite that inner strength and leave you standing taller in your own power.

It's an all-too-common western cultural affliction: You think you're a certain "type" of person (AKA morning person, Type A, a hot mess, lazy, manic, chronically late, super serious, shy, emotional, gimme my morning coffee or else, etc). You think that definition is, in some way, "true," because everyone tells you it is, and you seek to have it reinforced all the time. Is it healthy? Helpful? Dynamic and open? Who cares? It's *familiar.* It's safe. You can rely on it. Which is why anyone who dares mess with your desperately clung-to list of defining characteristics better watch out.

Oh, yoga is going to mess with it, all right. Here's a vigorous, well-breathed, hip-intensive practice designed to help you dissolve whatever psycho-emotional, culturally-imposed nonsense you've come to believe about yourself (AKA maya, illusion, socially constructed BS) and then replace it with... well, nothing at all. No hard, fixed identity, no stuck labels, no staid cultural conditioning whatsoever - just spacious, flowing possibility, one breath at a time.

Easy, right? Not even close. But so very refreshing.

Yoga for Golf will help to increase your range of motion in your hips and trunk of your body as well as build strength in your core, creating more rotation and follow through, thus giving you the distance you've either lost or have not found on the course. We all know how nice it is to be hitting a wedge into the green rather than a long iron :-)

Golf is very one-sided - you swing over and over on your right or left side. The sequence of postures in this class will help to balance you out. This class will provide opportunities to work on your shoulders, hips, core/trunk, hamstrings - all areas of the body that are crucial for a fluid and PAIN FREE golf swing! You will also work on your breath and mental game, knowing how important it is to take a big breath before a swing to reduce tension and to keep a positive and focused mid set, taking the time to visualize and see the shot you are about to hit.

Up your game and increase your competitive advantage through yoga! Have fun!

If we can trust in our strong legs and core, we can allow the heart to soften. The obvious movement to soften the heart space is a backbend, but side bends and twists expand the capacity and space in the rib cage and heart. We will visit many common poses without needing to do a single chaturanga and only two down dogs, so this is a wrist-friendly practice. This short but sweet flow will prepare you to live with a softer heart off the mat.
