Today's practice employs shaking, jumping, leg and glute work, upper body work and releasing tension via intention and breath. Somatic means essentially your body. This practice is infused with a little bit of yoga as well.

This week I'll be sharing some yogic principles and weaving them into our breathwork. Today "ahimsa" teaches us to practice compassion for ourselves as a practice of non-violence. We do 3 sets of kaphalabhati, 2 sets of slow bellows breath and end with alternate nostril breathing.

This is a full body practice with focus on spinal strength and suppleness. We open the hips and take the spine in all of its directions.

This is 4-7-8 breath - a part of the men's retreat in Kaslo. It works with heart rate variability by doubling up the exhale, and calming anxiety before bed, a big day, a meeting... it takes a few minutes to kick in. Be patient!

We begin with flow/vinyasa integrating lunges, psoas opening and heat building. We then hold classic poses: Warrior 2, side angle, one legged balancing poses, half moon, bound half moon, dancer - and more... we end with supine poses like camel x 2, virasana (quads) and breath. This is intermediat...

This is class three - a lying down practice that we did at our men's retreat - but compressed if you're short on time. We work with the physiological sigh in a short but intense practice today.

This is an advanced practice done lying down with the physiological sigh and Wim Hof breath + longer holds. It is unique in that it is done lying down (with a darkened screen intentionally). This is not appropriate for raw beginners to breath.

This practice is mostly restorative poses into the hips and hamstrings with the middle of practice infused with an easy going flow practice....We keep it pretty slow moving when it comes to the flow. We then end with pigeon, virasana a spinal twist and savasana.

This is a breathwork staple that works the spine and shoulders in a therapeutic manner using bellows breath.

This is a 11 min talk about my takeaways from a men's retreat that I co-facilitated at... (I usually don't talk so long). This is great if you are a MAN or you are desiring to connect to the symbolism of your inner-masculine (we all have this regardless of your gender). We do ego eradicator breat...

This is an intermediate breath practice and a repeat staple practice to the studio: Surya Kriya is one of my first and favorite Kundalini practices that awakens the mind-body connection, shakes off cobwebs and is excellent prep for meditation.

We are back to the OG classes! This is one of my favourite focal points to teach around: the shoulder girdle. Expect an entire practice designed to create heat, sweat AND open your shoulders.

Today's practice isolates each part of the spine with bellows breath: sacrum, low back, solar plexus, scapulas and neck. We then end with two rounds of Wim Hof breath.

We begin with core work (grab a block or pillow) and do a sweaty, healthy practice that is moderate/intermediate in nature with a focus of supporting the detoxification process in your body.

This is an all-levels practice of breath. We do five forms of pranayama to stabilize the mind body connection: Nadi Shodana, 4 Stroke Breath, Sitali, Ujjayi and Kaphalabhati breath.
