Yoga for the Legs

A gentle, (mostly) floor-based class focused on releasing tension in the low back, hips, and surrounding areas. While not a traditional restorative class, this lightly guided practice offers a restorative feel- with supportive, unhurried movement designed to calm the nervous system and create space in the body.

There’s no flow, no strict format, and no pressure to perform- just time to unwind the physical and energetic knots that tend to gather in the lower half of the body. Ideal for all levels, especially those seeking relief, grounding, and a softer complement to more active practices.

Claire designed this class for all the basketball players out there who want to enhance performance, prevent injury, and increase flexibility and mobility. Basketball requires endurance, balance, and sharp mental focus and this practice will help you quiet your mind while opening the spine, hips, legs, shoulders, and chest. Invest a little time so you stay on top of your game.

Part 3 of a 3 part series that focuses on strength and cardio. Full Body Burn combines some of the upper and lower body movements from parts 1 & 2 and adds on a little bit more to keep it fun and challenging. You'll get a head to toe yoga workout with this practice!

This slower vinyasa class explores the concept of folding inward — not just physically, but emotionally and energetically. Together, we’ll work with the idea of the shadow: the parts of ourselves we often push down, avoid, or overlook. Instead of resisting them, we’ll create space for those parts to exist and be acknowledged.

Through a steady, intentional flow and longer holds, you’ll be invited to turn your awareness inward and explore the full landscape of your being — light, dark, and everything in between.

We’ll finish with grounding variations of forward folds, followed by a spacious savasana to integrate the practice. This is an opportunity to get to know yourself more fully — which, in many ways, is what yoga is all about.

Today we are using a block to challenge our balance & stability. We will be primarily focusing on the lower body with a variety of standing poses & transitions.

This class focuses on your lower body with shapes for your hips, hamstrings, inner thighs and feet. After stretching your lower body, take a seat for a short meditation.

Enjoy a standing room only type class to kickstart your day and/or reenergize your body for the day ahead. This practice includes mostly standing poses. Let's get moving!

This class offers a brief, yet effective core workout. You will be guided through breath techniques that can help you gain greater connection to the musculature that makes up your core matrix. In this class, you will be asked to move slowly, tune into your breath in various ways, and experience the power as well as subtleties of how breath and core facilitate one another for a total mind-body experience. These two are intrinsically entwined, so get ready to deepen the relationship between core and breath, with this practice!

This class is full of leg action, with quad lengthening & strengthening drills & sequences. Don't worry, your hamstrings & glutes are also invited to the party. Expect balancing poses & deep stretches to balance out all the strength work. Bring 2 blocks if you have them & have either a chair or some clear wall space available for the last drill. 

Part 2 of a 3 part series focused on strength and cardio. Lower Body Burn will rev up your lower body so get ready for some glutes, legs, and a little core to balance things out. Lunges, squats, and standing balance will get your leg muscles warmed up and feeling the burn. I'll offer options so you can work at your level of strength and feel safe.

Connect to your breath and move your body in this sweet, calming, gratitude-moving practice. You will have ample opportunities to open your hips and heart, making space for gratitude. The emotion of gratitude starts with a positive shift in your perspective and has been shown to improve our health and well-being at a cellular level.

If you have tight hips and hammies then this class is just what your body needs. No flow, no chaturangas...just focused stretches and longer holds to get into those big joints and muscles that are begging for some release. This class is a perfect add on after an active yoga flow, workout or just a long day at the office.

This hour-long, energetic power yoga class offers a well-rounded practice, complete with lots of flow, arm and leg balancing, ab and core movements, twisting, heart opening, and a fair share of chaturangas—making it a strong and warming practice. As you move, breathe, strengthen, and open, the invitation is to honor your body and meet each moment with steadiness and grace.

Join me for an invigorating intermediate Vinyasa class focused on connecting to our roots through the feet and legs. We’ll cultivate awareness of these foundational elements to tap into the grounding energy of the earth. Targeting the hamstrings, hip flexors, and quads, we’ll start off slow and gradually pick up the pace, with an option to do one Sun B flow on your own.

Most often in life we are moving forwards in the sagittal plane of movement. It's very important to train lateral movements so that we can move in all directions with strength & stability. In the sequence we build a lot of outer hip mobility & side body strength. Practice winds down with some straddle stretches & releasing side bends.

This class is apart of a zodiacal series to attune the physical and subtle body to the energetics of the Moon in Aquarius. It works to shift perspective and conventional associations. This is redirecting the mind to think out of the box, create new patterns, and is the energy of innovation. Postures will work through twists, and along the IT band. These forces liberate old ways of thinking and moving through the world, and open the self into new horizons and greater acceptance.

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

Try this short class whenever you want to pause, breathe deeply, feel, and invite more calm into your day. You'll practice gentle floor poses such as Cat/Cow Breathing, Seated Forward Bends (Janu Sirsasana), Legs Up the Wall (Viparita Karani), and more, to help you turn inward and recenter yourself. Enjoy!
