    June 2 2021

    Playlist: https://spoti.fi/3cahGVo

    This is a full body stretch, meant to give you some quiet time on the mat. Although 50 minutes, we do just a handful of postures; long holds and no rushing. I give you less guidance and reassurance in this one, so you have time to digest your thoug...

    Let the whole body simmer in this slow - primarily seated - deep stretch. We get in to the big muscles of the body + common areas that most of us hold tension. Very high chance you'll climb off of your mat feeling like butter.

    For when you need: rest, release, decompression.

    September 10 2021

    Playlist: https://spoti.fi/3zUALoD

    A slow stretch to target the hips and hamstrings (which hold so much dang tension). Stretching these two together in a class is one of the best combos.

    A great stretch to release tension from the upper back by targeting the shoulders, neck, chest and spine!

  • the stretch - hamstring flexibility (28 mins)

    March 22, 2021

    Let's give you a bit more freedom in your hamstrings. When our hamstrings are too tight, we experience pulling on the pelvis and spine; a flattening of the lumbar curve (that sway in the low back) and could explain why your posture could better and why you're experiencing back pai...

    July 14 2021

    Playlist: https://spoti.fi/3ib3m1f

    These are my go-to stretches when the back needs a release. We target the spine directly as well as the hips and hamstrings which play a huge roll in adding tension to the back. Feel better, my friend!

    May 24 2021

    Playlist: https://spoti.fi/3yutpI0

    Here's hoping this class will relieve your headache - or at least take your mind off it for the next half hour. We start with a breathing exercise to refresh us before we head into stretching. We do a couple gentle inversions (dropping head below h...

    May 21 2021

    Playlist: https://spoti.fi/3wnWNhu

    Hip flexors (psoas), quad openers, lats, hamstrings and glutes plus a nice spinal twist. This is a short(ish) but effective stretch. Stay calm, your nervous system and hips will thank you.

    Playlist: https://spoti.fi/3tz2Ldx

    MAMAS! This one is for you. This is a pretty simple and restorative stretch for the pregnant body; we focus on making space for baby and belly. Post natal, generally speaking the body needs a gentle practice to ease back into movement. And if we co...

    Playlist: https://spoti.fi/2QT4L2V

    When you need a quick 20 but literally don't have the energy to sit up. This class is completely reclined, focusing on quads - hips - glutes - side body & twists! Its a nice way to recollect your energy or set yourself up for bed.

  • the stretch - legs up the wall (17 mins)

    March 1, 2021

    I LOVED this stretch. It is so nice to just send the legs up and feel completely supported by the wall. When we elevate the legs, it plays an active part in relaxing the nervous system while promoting circulation. If the legs fall asleep, thats very common and all you need to do ...
