This 65 minute practice offers the opportunity to “watch” your thoughts rather than identify with them or react to them, explores how breath and movement can affect the quality of the mind and displays the empowering skill of choosing a thought to create more contentment which may ultimately create a condition where we can open to the truer, softer voice of the heart.
Yoga teaches us we are much more than a physical body. We also have a mental body, a wisdom body, a bliss body and a pranic body that are effected by everything we do. Our pranic body is our energy body, prana is our life force. Breath practices along with many other things affect our vitality. This 60 min practice utilizes the breath in several ways to help harmonize our energy while the physical practice is a balance of more warming, followed by cooling postures. Enjoy!!
A practice to tend to upper backs and necks sore from increased screen time. Movement to mobilize the upper back, strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight ones.

Try this practice every other day for improvement over time but keep mobilizing the upper back daily. *Note, continued pain related to the spine may require further investigation from a Dr. or PT
A morning practice designed to support your body in elimination and digestion.

This 75 minute experience begins with a 10 minute meditation known to be helpful for the “pitta” dosha in the mind, an Ayurvedic concept that can describe the state of mind/body when we are pushing ourselves (and maybe others) to get things done, to achieve and do more, perhaps to the detriment of our energy and relationships to others and ourselves. The sequence is meant to be engaging and strengthening, ultimately supporting more contentment with the way things are, as they are.
A first thing in the morning refresher. An invitation to focus on the good, get inspired, breathe and move in ways to uplift and invigorate (no yoga mat required- you could do it next to the bed!).
