Happy Monday, Patrons! This week I am starting out with a hip opening yoga flow.
Notes: My legs are not going behind my head quite yet... but rather than trying to do too much too fast, I'm paying attention to where I feel extra tension, limitation, and imbalance. In the latest YouTube, Yoga Rehab, I noticed my left medial hamstrings trembling from fatigue... and here again my left hip and leg are less eager to stretch and stabilize.
Which of these postures are chall...

This is a FIVE minute practice guide to help people fine tune their mobility.
I really enjoyed the process of stepping back from the flow practice to target muscle groups, and I discovered that my medial hamstrings could be way more powerful! I really never payed attention to the medial hamstrings before... but semitendonosis and semimembranosis were not shy letting me know that they want some more attention. I captured a shot of them dancing around (aka trembling) and I have taken note...

I am starting out the week by targeting the Glutes and Hip Rotation in order to develop more Strength and Agility. I specifically want to have more control in my standing poses, but I also want to have more range in my inner thighs. By targeting the Glutes and External Hip Rotators, the inner thigh muscles are able to stretch with more ease.
It is important to include the stretches after targeting these hip muscles, so do not rubber band back into a tight position.

Full version! (a shorter version will be up on YouTube).
The full moon will be Friday, and this is ONE of TWO Full Moon Vinyasa Sequences that I have for you this month. Keep an eye out for YouTube Shorts highlighting sections of this flows :)
I am making all videos 4K which takes up a ton of space, and makes uploading more expensive. Patreon is allowing a certain amount for free, which is great because to upload this amount of Vimeo will be pricey.
I might ad...

This is mostly a silent practice, but you can hear in the background that I started by following the Lesson Three routine from Deeper Studies. However, Lesson Three is Handstands... so I re-routed into my own routine.
This routine uses the Yoga Wheel against the wall for standing squats, which give the spine many opportunities to release tension. I especially love the way the lumbar and cervical columns of the spine gain energy from this. Squats just make more sense when I can feel the ...

Today I'm working on moving with fluidity on the breath cycle to engage full body connection, focusing on the the hips and hamstrings.

I’m spending another week working on my strength.
ENJOYING the return to core alignment.
FEELING the feather like nature of balance.
PRACTICING the breath and body.
MOVING from awkwardness to integration.

Another silent practice!
For a silent practice journey on Yoga Premiere, you have:
- Yoga Sequence for the hip and hamstrings -- The Front Splits
- Yoga Sequence For The Core -- Crow Pose
I shared the guided version to The Front Splits a few days ago - Vinyasa Yoga Hanumanasana
Enjoy!

I will keep working on making these massage practice videos more informative and instructional. For now, here is my pre-yoga practice to warm up my hips and hamstrings. Oh the glutes are so happy to be targeted with this massage ball!

This is a silent practice video, and I intend to create one with instruction. Thought I'd go ahead and share from my personal practice though!

Patron's only! This class is a great afternoon yoga session, or pre-workout. It is active, building upper body and core posture. It is also designed to deepen the stretch through your back body -- hamstrings, glutes, shoulders, and calves. Enjoy!

I hope you all are ready to relax and integrate more from your stretch in your Downward Dog. As an onlooker, this seems so simple but the effect is profound. After you connect to the forces of fascia you'll feel the difference from before and after.
Enjoy and let me know how it goes!
Side note:
Is the background music too much??? I thought the original audio needed something to cancel out background noise, but now that it's on YouTube my voice sounds a lot clearer than...

I know most people might not have an aerial fitness area at home but, can you imagine? I will share what makes it so worth it for me in upcoming videos. Here is a fun intro for now :)

I made this video a week or so ago, when I was still polishing up my editing and camera settings. It was a good practice in yoga and behind the computer.
I know most people probably might not have an aerial fitness area at home but, can you imagine? The effect the aerial silks have, as they drape across the shoulders and wrapped around the upper arms, is security and weightlessness from the center between the shoulder blades.

After deconstructing tension in my legs, I found ease and fluidity in my downward dog and forward folds. Ahhh ~ the massage tool really brings it to new depths.

Here is a snippet of my daily "face yoga." I love working with my hands and applying just the right amount of pressure to feel the muscular fascia and melt tension. Ahhhh

Happy Monday, Patrons,
New video and blog are going public on YT tomorrow. I hope you will take some time to practice this technique and see how it works on your downward dog. Especially good for … everyone!

Hello Patrons!
Well, I was thinking I’d have something for YouTube but this video is not quite up to what I’m wanting to post. But it IS nearly 40 min of techniques to transform stress, plus some yoga talk about chemistry.
Making this video did prompt some more content planning so I’m going to follow the creative force.
Let me know if you get some benefit from it!

Happy Wednesday Patrons!
My legs, back and upper body are feeling amazing after the aerial yoga I did yesterday.
This video is a compilation of my practice, edited down to 15+ minutes.
Eventually, I will make a voiceover going over the very basics of hanging aerial silks at the right height for your body, and taking steps to trust them with the full weight of your body.
But for now, just getting back into the swing of making videos... and making mo...

Hello! Give this routine a try and see what I mean by "more than legs!"
Note: I will be adding more value to these videos with commentary and instruction. For now, the foundations are solid and the routines are flowing.
