Vinyasa Yoga

Awaken your body and spirit with this gentle yet energizing slow-flow Vinyasa designed to create space in the heart, chest, shoulders, arms, and hips. In yoga, the arms are considered our "alchemical wings," and an extension of the heart that allows us to cultivate joy and openness. This class incorporates playful, spiraling arm movements to awaken your inner light and foster a sense of freedom.

Begin seated with a fun and dynamic arm flow to warm up the shoulders and chest. Progress to a kneeling sequence featuring lunges and hamstring stretches that prepare the body for a fluid standing flow filled with expansive arm movements. Perfect for starting your day with positivity and vitality, this practice will leave you feeling refreshed, open, and ready to embrace the day ahead.

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.

This is a dynamic flowing sequence. With fewer long holds, the effort comes from the transitions. Take your time to move deliberately between each pose, this practice is designed to refine the movements rather than the holds. Expect lots of core work, hip stability & shoulder strengthening. Enjoy the playful transitions through side plank variations like wild thing & fallen triangle. No props are cued but feel free to have them to hand. 

Ready to connect to to your fire? Come to this Vinyasa practice to build HEAT in a short amount of time. We'll work with chair and plank variations with flow in between so you can leave your mat feeling active and energized. Let's go for it!

This grounding Vinyasa class gets you moving so you can discharge energy without being over-stimulated. Mindful transitions and breath cues keep you flowing at a slow and soothing pace - this is NOT a power class. You will stretch and strengthen your lower body while cultivating a calm state. The finishing shapes include seated forward folds and Supported Bridge, some of the most beneficial sleep aids in the yoga library!

This Vinyasa practice will help you wake up the front line of the body, easing in steadily and building up to some balances and deeper backbends. We will explore the opening of the front line of the body as a way to open the heart chakra and connect to the center of our being. Enjoy nature filled surroundings and sounds from Lake Atitlan in Guatemala - a highly spiritual area for healing.

This flowing vinyasa class will help you wake up, move with awareness, and ground yourself in intention so you can step into your day with clarity and direction. You'll flow through side bends and hip openers to create warmth, balance in Half Moon (Ardha Chandrasana) and other poses, and finish with relaxing postures like Half Pigeon Pose to leave you feeling centered and ready for your day. Enjoy!

We often forget to give our feet, ankles and calf muscles some love. This sequence focuses on stretching and strengthening these areas.

This 30 minute Ladder Flow Vinyasa will ask us to find the balance between effort & ease. We aim to maintain this steadiness even while flowing through poses in a breath per movement style and challenging our balance to find stillness. Flow with me through lunges, balances, backbends and feel both challenged and energized while you build strength alongside the capacity to surrender.

“What if we could trust life like we trust the breath? What if we could take in all the nourishment of the moment and then let it go fully, trusting that more nourishment will come?” - Deborah Adele, Yamas & Niyamas

This full-body Vinyasa flow challenges and invigorates, emphasizing the transformative power of Ujjayi breath to cultivate a deep meditative experience and help navigate tough moments.

Don’t be fooled by the slow tempo of this vinyasa practice, it’s gonna make you sweat and exercise hope mind, body & soul through planks, flow, and balancing postures. LR Knost wrote, “Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.” Embrace the beautiful and embody hope!

The earth element is steady and connected. As we practice this slow vinyasa flow, we will stay low to the ground and cultivate steadiness within ourselves. We will use our feet, legs, hips and anything else on the grown to build strength and stamina.

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. You can expect mindful cues to help you stay present and connected to your body throughout the flow. We’ll wrap up with a progression toward the splits, inviting strength and flexibility into your practice.

This practice focuses on side body opening. Enjoy a brief standing series that builds to a peak (plank) posture.

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.
