You will move through a series of strong warrior poses, plank variations, backbends and of course core strengthening exercises.

Go ahead and experience life in all possible ways.

Have you heard? Fatalism is in. Dour prognostications of the downfall of, well, pretty much everything you love and care about – these are swarming the culture like a million locusts of despair.

How do we dispel all this addictive nihilism? Yoga suggests: Shift your gaze. That is to say, to be of real service to yourself and the world, it’s imperative to aim your attention toward things sacred, beautiful, nourishing, healing. Wallowing and spinning out into impossible scenarios that never really come to pass, serves no one. Reconnecting to Self and quieting the storm of psycho-emotional melodrama so as to be fully available to the moment as it arises, serves everyone.

Here’s a deep, grounding to do just that: tonify the body, bring attention in to the heart, untie those karmic knots of cruel injustice and bleak headline, so they can transmute back into useful action. What else you gonna do, wallow?

Ready to take it up a notch? Grab a set of weights and let's go! Expect to be moving the entire class and feel a burn from your calves all the way up to your shoulders! (Your glutes will get some extra special attention;)

Each time you come to your yoga mat you have an opportunity to reconnect to your heart and your highest intentions. This warming and fluid flow invites you into feeling, sensation, presence, and bliss as you flow, reconnect, and open up. You will flow through Sun Salutations A + B variations to build heat and presence, then connect to your strength through some heart opening and twisting postures, then surrender in a sweet hip opening pose. Enjoy!

This class is designed to challenge you, to build full body strength, increase your endurance and stamina, it will feel like a workout at times, it will bring the results you're looking for, it will be accessible/useful while being very functional as we use movements like squats, push-ups, lunges, twists, bends ... all the movements that the average human (yourself) do or should do everyday to keep the body healthy, strong and mobile! You will feel accomplished after this practice. This practice also provides plenty of moments to enjoy the stretch you crave, the satisfying breaths you need and some space in the mind to relax and free yourself from the daily 'to do's. Hope you enjoy!
ps ... if you need to scale down or up in the progressive squat salutation, please feel free.

Part one of my special, five-part Absolution Intensive series of vigorous, ultra-focused 20-minute challenges: Here we zero in on some feisty, aerobic-flavored leaps and bounds, how to jump forward or back with control and balance, without banging the toes, slamming the floor or crunching the shoulders. Enhanced with dolphins and planks, deep lunges and core twists to bring increased awareness not merely to how you fly, but perhaps more importantly, how you *land*.

Spotify playlist for Absolution Intensive I: Jump to It

Part three of my special, five-part Absolution Intensive series of vigorous, ultra-focused 20-minute challenges, and it’s all right there in the title: A looping sequence that moves very dynamically (read: a continuous mandala) though a flipped dog, three primary warrior poses, and one deeply humble one, all repeated three times, or perhaps 108 (you know, time depending). You’ve got a 20-minute burst of nectar to ignite your world just right.

Spotify playlist for Absolution Intensive III: All the Warriors

Part four of my special, five-part Absolution Intensive series of vigorous, ultra-focused 20-minute challenges; the centerpiece of this one is a Warrior III/crescent lunge/knee dip combination that brings heat, strength and potent symmetry to the legs and hips, so as to walk the world neither floating numbly on top of it, nor stomping carelessly all over it.

If you’re not feeling more steady in your foundation and less lopsided in your gait/posture/attention when this one’s over, something’s wrong. Refresh your intention, and try it again. And again. And again. Every day. Forever. Call me after that, let me know how it went.

This class is designed to get your heart rate up while you strengthen and tone your entire body. For the HIIT portion of class you will do 5 different exercises, each targeting different body parts for 45 seconds followed by a 15 second rest interval. Plan to work as hard as you can for the work interval so that you really need the rest time.

After the 20 minutes of high intensity work, you will come down to the ground to connect to your breath and stretch the muscles that you worked.

This question comes up a lot these days: In periods of deep dismay and anxiety, of dread existential, sociopolitical and/or personal, how can we use our yoga to successfully transmute these low, acidic energies into useful action, into something a bit more healing and constructive? And where, exactly, does this fiery transformation take place? What are the tools?

This much we know: Such transformations do not happen merely in the mind, by merely thinking (or wishing) events to be different. What’s more, yoga teaches us not to race through or forcibly redefine uncomfortable or painful situations – or grip the positive ones too tightly - let we miss their true power and teachings.

Here’s a fiery, nicely demanding class focusing on the Muladhara chakra, on essential grounding poses (goddess, warriors, malasanas galore) and balanced breathing to help relocate and strengthen your core stability and sense of innate calm when all feels poisonous and manic and OMGWTF.

After practicing for a while it is common to decide what you can and cannot do in your practice. The process of saying "I can't" keeps us from exploring what is possible. In this vigorous flow, we will explore our self imposed limitations and see what we can do. The sequence focuses on hip opening and arm balancing. Be prepared to breathe hard and go past your own boundaries.
