We begin with a 3 minute brief anatomy lesson on the psoas major and iliacus. As well as a brief look at the two diaphragms in your body. We then work into your hip flexors integrating this awareness and for some of you, new knowledge. Enjoy!

This is a usual set integrating shining skull breath with three hip openers. A good one to match with the following restorative class. Enjoy!

This is a steady paced, nothing-crazy hip sequence. Enjoy!

Today begins with longer holds into the hips followed by a basic intermediate practice integrating the hamstrings as well. Nothing-fancy-feel-good. Enjoy!

I share a 3 min long clip from a teacher (Dispenza) on the sympathetic nervous system + what the HPA axis looks like. The practice is mainly on your feet: a basic feel good flow into the hips and a few backbends near the end.

Enjoy!

Punchy breaths are thrown into this one hour sequence to encourage more of a cleansing action. Into the hips, we go!

Begins with short tutorial & visual presentation of hips.

Followed with a deep and delicious hip sequence.

One hour hip-focused yin practice.

Today's practice is therapeutic one beginning with a quick visual on what and where the IT band and TFL live. The practice that follows works to release and bring blood flow into the TFL, the IT band and whole hip. It is more informative and therapeutic, than it is sweaty.

We use "shining skull" breath into the neck, into a spinal rotation and the hips. We end supine with restorative three-parts breathing as a segueway into our restorative practice.

Hips and Hamstrings Class: Variations of lunges and Warriors orienting the hips at all angles. Variations are available for all levels, however, some examples of intense poses are:

Head behind the ankle, bound triangle, bound half moon balancing, variation of hanuman (splits) and a variation of ...

This is a top-down approach to opening the body in a restorative way from the neck, to the shoulders, chest, spine and pelvis we work our way down the body in a restorative manner. Ending with simple breath and kumbhakas (breath holds) to savasana.

This practice focuses on one legged balancing postures: airplane variations, tree pose, utthita hasta padangustasana, dancer w/ strap, Warrior 3, half moon/ poets pose, chapasana, standing splits...Bird of Paradise.

You will need a block or solid pillow for class. We begin with core work, bridge sets and a vinyasa set with a block, encouraging the entire midline of the body towards balance. We work gradual standing poses into Bird of Paradise, a few backbends, then rest. Enjoy!

There is nothing fancy here but oooh it feels good. Sloooowww. Making simple advanced is my specialty. Expect: Warrior One, Two, Triangle, Side Angle Pose, a twist, side plank, and a few back bends, core + forward fold. Literally 10 or so poses over the length of an hour. This is good for patien...

In harmony with this ceremonious time of year we move sweaty and flowy into a progressive hip-flow toward Bird of Paradise (Svarga Dvidasana). This time of year is the shortest and darkest. Ritual after you finish could include journaling, Intention setting, burning a log on fire, burning your wi...

We begin with a screen-share of an anatomy lesson on the SI joint, sciatic nerve and what SI joint dysfunction is in brief. Practice begins with my favourite release into the pelvis followed by a strong glutes and SI aware practice.

This is a slower moving practice beginning on the ground into the hips and pelvis. There is very little flow, It parallels more of a hatha practice than vinyasa.

*Pls note, around the 30min mark, the film is a little glitchy but it still translates and works well - glitchy WIFI today - my apologies:*

First 30min: The first 30 min is taken from Iyengar's "Light on Pranayama" practices. It is a mainly grounding quiet breath set that includes a) ujjayi "oce...

I find this sequence is helpful for those with piriformis syndrome/beginnings of sciatica and lower back weakness and tension. *For class, you will need a yoga block (or thick book/pillow) for this practice. The first twenty-five minutes of class begins on the ground with a heating and favourite ...

We get right into it! The first fifteen minutes of class begins on the ground working into hips and hamstring postures: (square pose, hamstrings, upright twist) and classic abdominal work to quickly warm the body). In the first part of the standing/warming surya series, there is an integration of...
