This month begins with a sequence of yoga poses to nourish the health and happiness of your belly!
The video is 30min because of the time held breathing within each pose. Get ready to embrace your body, and knock the s/*t out of these poses :)
Begin with a seated belly massage tracing the path of the ascending, transverse, and descending colon.
Here is your link to the practice video-
Channel your inner cat presence-- like the orange cat in this video, and be "territorial" when it comes to making room for your yoga at home!

Howdy Patrons!
This "blooper footage" turned into a pretty nice Beginner Challenge. It certainly was a challenge for me to practice these postures while teaching them... Good times! I recommend a hot salt bath (epsom salt muscle soak) for sore muscles and full body dry brushing. I will share more about these self-care practices in the near future :)
This sequence is a solid progression, and in combination with the Beginner Friendly - 30min Pada Power provides an excellent...

Happy Wednesday, folks!
I've thought about making a home yoga video in the hallway for a long time, and after the trials/tribulations from last week, I was ready to make something playful!
I'm using this video as a "welcome to my channel" for YouTube :) It's an experimental edit, matching the movements with the music... and it was a refreshing challenge!
My aim is to continue building patreon as a yoga class community, and to create my youtube channel with ...

Hello Patrons!
This video is a little later than planned... I just couldn't get it right! I finally dialed the routine down to an acceptable "beginner friendly" session, but the first few takes were ridiculously difficult. What was I thinking?! Well, I got some challenge sessions out of it... and I will gladly make a challenge video for you too!
First things first, though... Here is session two!
We start out focusing on the feet, in Pada One a...

Happy Sunday, Patrons!
This is the 1st video of a 3-video series. Each video will progress through 10 beginner level yoga poses. You will be able to follow along and learn the actions of each position + understand the health benefits. You can also "mix-and-match" the positions to customize your practice to include your favorites.
Session Two will have 10 different yoga poses, and should be ready for you on Wednesday, Nov 18th!
If you missed my first OFFICIAL VLOG, h...

Hi everyone!
This video is just under 15minutes, guiding you through a series of five yoga postures (including Shavasana) that have amazing therapeutic benefits. These are postures you can practice while seated and lying on the ground.
Here's a breakdown of the session!

I demonstrate what the name of this posture means, and I break down the steps for how you progress...

What's up, Patrons!
Here is a new video with voiceover to guide you through a 25min session. I've added an intro to this video to highlight some of the exercises and positions you will find in the practice!
It will be a nice shift away from the Plank Pose work in the previous video... but still building on the foundational alignment from the Diamond Seat Shoulder Stretch... that is actually a key position in my yoga weight loss practice this year.
I hope...

What's up everyone!
Here is a new yoga session for you to follow along with. In this class, I am using two 4in Foam Yoga Blocks. By the way, I'm sharing the backyard with some furry friends, so in this video you will see cameo appearances from a fluffy white husky/malamute and an elegant orange cat!
I'm very happy to be filming outside again, and I look forwar...

This is PART TWO of the Whole Body Approach to Leg Stretches.
It's only 15min and you will WANT to practice the sequence over and over again, because it goes by in a flash and feels so good!
ENJOY

Hello Patrons!
This is the first video released from my new yoga room. I'm using a new webcam and software program, and will have to do a little tinkering to improve the video quality. It should be at least 1080 but I'm only getting 720p, which is a bit disappointing for me! I will change the settings for my next video to make it better.
Regardless, this yoga practice is a great routine for your whole body. Part one incorporates:
Hello Patreon! Moving right along with the videos from Costa Rica, I have a Sunrise Yoga Session for you. This video is the natural background audio sounds from the jungle. I have added titles for each pose + a bell to signal a posture transition, and a gong to signal the new pose.
It's a little different from my other videos, and I hope that you enjoy the relaxing and meditative quality of the video.
I have also written the step-by-step guide for you.

Hey everyone~ thank you for your pledges this month!
I've got a new series to share with you that I'm pretty excited about. I originally was thinking that this would be a 7-day series but I realized that it makes more sense for everyone if I lengthen the timespan, so instead of releasing new videos everyday, I'm going to space it out a bit more.
Here is Lesson One! It consists of a Yoga Warm Up (new release) and a review of Vinyasa Basics (released June 2020). At the bottom ...

Hey gang! I just whipped up 2 new web pages at Yoga Current with a guide to yoga props and an online shop! The props I recommend are my favorites. I started buying from this company, Hugger Mugger, in 2001. They have been in business since the 80's with an excellent reputation and high quality products. I am an affiliate partner with them, so when you are referred to their business from Yoga Current and make a pur...

Hello Patrons!
Thanks for your June pledges! The date for filming new content is rapidly approaching and I'm excited to have brand new content for you to follow along for a personal yoga practice. My vision is to record a series of classes and tutorials as well as host LIVE yoga classes in my new studio space.
A couple of weeks ago, I didn't know where my new studio space would be. Now, I have a perfect space with a cozy vibe and clean look and I can't wait to start offering live...

Hey, how's it going everyone. Is anyone else having trouble concentrating for long periods of time? I am! So much is happening.

This past week I've done some design work on my blog posts and worked on the SEO analysis. I'm using Yoast SEO on my site to help me!
Currently also working on getting access to a set where I can film new content and go LIVE on stream. Pretty excited for that and wish I already had the place, but the GOOD news is that once I do get the place then I have all the technical bits in order to go live on twitch, youtube, fac...

Hello Patreon! This video and blog series has been circulating within a local yoga community here in Austin. I created alongside a kindred yoga teacher and hosted it on my site, yogacurrent.com.
It consists of ten complete practices. Each practice is a 30-40 minute follow-along video with a blog and meditation to read. I am the model / student demonstrating the practice and the lessons are taught by welovezoe yoga.
These videos are excellent resources for your home yoga practice. ...
