Hello beautiful patrons,
I am sharing a special "throwback" video from my first yoga video series this week. I was a bit under the weather last week, so I'm taking this week to recuperate.
Hopefully will be back in action by the end of this week!
I hope you enjoy this Morning! Yoga in the mountains :) It is only 720p... so definitely not up to my current standards, but hey... I hiked up a mountain at sunrise to film this three years ago so that counts for something ...

Wooo!!! This was a fun video to make and I'm looking forward to doing more of of these lifestyle vlog videos. It definitely takes another level of creativity and I am excited to work on making my videos more cinematic, stylish, and helpful.
My plan for September is to share more about SELF CARE massage techniques to address issues like sciatic pain, shoulder pain, and my favorite... RELAXation.
I am ALSO going to be sharing more Yoga videos :)
Thank you for joining me ...

What's happenin' everyone.
Oh man... I feel like such a slacker!!! And here's why... (see video).
I do have a fourth weekly video for you this month, but I did not add a voiceover because... (see commentary above and watch video).
:) please forgive me!
This yoga session is short and sweet though, with good music :) and it includes an excellent core routine using a block between your feet first, then using the block in a couple of different ways....

Hey y'all. So sorry I was MIA this week but I hope you've been enjoying the videos this month! I'll give you guys a video update on everything soon :)
Here is my new creation for YouTube. I experimented with a new style of filming and I really like it! What do you think?
How's your half moon balance? Want to try it with a wall behind you? I could honestly make a few more of these just focusing on this one pose. There is so much going on! Let me know if this technique at a wall giv...

Hey gang, how's it going?
This week's class is really great for relieving back pain-- especially lower back. And the sequence is a little bit different! Instead of continuing forward with the same style of Warrior Vinyasa, we are taking a stand... a Power Stand... and entering the Warrior Vinyasa sequence from wide legged position.
This will help create more depth and alignment in your positions. And it gives us a better opportunity to identify challenges, make adjustments, and re...

Hello, again! Twice in one day!
Here is the Power Yoga Week Two :)
This session begins with a warm-up to prepare you for the journey from half-bind into full-bind.
Then, we progress into 3 rounds of Warrior Vinyasa.
- Warrior Two
- Reverse Warrior
- Side Angle
This week, we are powering up Warrior Vinyasa by exhaling directly into Warrior Two, and inhaling to Reverse Warrior. You can practice the half bind in Reverse...

My goal is to revive the blog with new resourceful content, so I am very excited to be starting on this beautiful August New Moon.

By popular request HERE IS THE FIRST Yoga Lookbook yoga clothing haul. Supporting local businesses and independent sellers when I can is very important to me, so I felt proud to have found my new favorite VSX yoga outfits on Poshmark (all new with tags).

Also, I can't believe this video is only 6min considering how long it took me to edit... and how much footage I ...

Welcome to August!
I hope this video finds you well at the beginning of this new month. Did you enjoy last month's Dancing Warrior Vinyasa classes? This month will be a little bit different....
One of the distinctions between Vinyasa and Power is the breath. In Vinyasa, our breath gets very deep, very long, and activates the "bandhas" from root to crown. Also, July in particular focused on a lot of hip opening and backbend sequences. Backbends will strengthen the back body-- espec...

New August videos will begin on Sunday. This new month will be Power Flow Yoga. Thank you to Matt for the custom requests in August!
Now, this video says it all. Thank you!
I've had many requests for the yoga try-on videos so this intro plays with some "yoga fashion modeling" :) demonstrating my adoration for this 3-piece yoga suit!

Hello Patrons!
For this final week of July, and we drop in to the "the wave" and catch a ride with this video.
It's going to get sweaty!
I will preface this to say that if your hamstrings and butt are extra tight, you'll want to start with a reclined leg stretch using your yoga strap for at least 1min on each side. While you're stretching your leg up, also extend your leg to the side to access more hamstring muscles
Give this a read through to know how it all ...

I'm stepping out of my comfort zone to sport a different style of video today to let you know what's been going on behind-the-scenes with my videos! And then it's a trip down memory lane as I show you some of the best yoga pants that I've collected and my favorite yoga brands. I hope you can make it to my yoga clothing party!

What's happening everyone. I hope this week is treating you well!
I've adjusted some camera settings so my videos should be super clear from now on. I also ordered a new lens (very exciting) which should improve the quality even more. I should have a video ready by tomorrow to explain a bit more about these issues, that I will share for the general audience on YouTube :)
On the video, if the gear wheel doesn't show "HD" then it's not playing in 1080 and you'll need to click to...

Harness a Sense of Presence with Yogic Breath, Sun Salutation, Warrior, Crow, and Balasana in this Daily Yoga Flow video.
Daily Yoga Flow builds a strong connection between breath and body. We review the Yogic Breath, Pada One, and Balasana. By practicing the Yogic Breath, we empower our sense of presence. This breath begins in Balasana (Child Pose) which becomes our resting place-- if during the Sun Salutations and Warrior we need to pause and give time to process before resuming, we r...

Hello Patrons!
Here we are in the middle of summer and I'm wrapped up in a down comforter at my computer because no matter how I set the AC it's either too hot or too cold. Obviously it's too cold right now!
Anyways, I know I said I was in love... was it with last week's practice??? But can't I be in love with this practice too?! I should know better. OF COURSE because it just keeps getting better and better from here.
This is just the beginning of the full Dancing Warrior s...

Oh hi! How's everybody this week? I hope you enjoy this week's flavor of yoga... a step by step approach to touch your toes behind your head!
In this video I guide you through a simple (yet complex) yoga session into backbends, culminating in King Pigeon. The Sanskrit name is Eka Pada Rajakapotana, which means One-Legged-King Pigeon Pose. This progression of asanas will deeply open the hips and shoulders while extending the spine in an upward rising backbend.
It's not easy, but it...

What's up everybody! How's your summer going?
This is 10min of a 40min session I just started editing today. Kind of taking it easy on this video to give you all time to catch up on your practice :)
Doing the voiceover takes a while, so I'm just taking a bite out of the video this week and will follow up when I complete the full video.
I'm experimenting with how the natural sounds of breath (and squeaky floors) sound as a backdrop for future videos. Unfortunately the squeaky...

Hello everyone,
I've got a new video for you to practice this week. It is a reasonable 20ish-minute session.
It is a classic yoga practice known as Sun Salutation, or Surya Namaskar, that will get your blood moving while establishing healthy strength and alignment or your muscles and joints.
In this video, you will have a Beginner, Intermediate, and Warrior progression.
Some key points to be aware of in the instruction guide you into stabilizing your knee by exte...

Hello everyone!
I'm really in love with the practice for this week. And I'll tell you why. You might think that since we got started with a Sun Salutation Warrior Namaskar last week, that it's just going to keep building with the same intensity. But there are many directions, and many poses to explore! While this class IS INTENSE, it moves in a different direction. You will get to focus on stretching deepiy into the hips and shoulders, and move with the power of your back body through b...

It seems like everything has taken forever to do this week. Is it just me or do you feel kind of like molasses too? Well, I wanted to get into a practice that energized my body but respected the gentle vibes.
To make sure this video fit into my theme of things taking forever this week, I recorded it in 4k so editing was... SLOW. Gosh I sound like I'm complaining but trust me, I'm not! If I wanted to complain I'd go on more about how my Macbook is from 201...

Headstand is a great pose to practice along with Crow Pose!
This is an advanced headstand practice using the Tripod arm base.
You can practice this exercise with your back supported by the wall if you can comfortably stay in tripod headstand against the wall for 3-5minutes.
Questions? Comments?
Let me know!

This video includes a restorative shoulder and chest stretch.
It's a delicious position using a yoga block under the mid-upper back, that I highly recommend.
For an advancement, you can move into full wheel pose.
I also recommend the shoulder and hip stretch called Gomukasana (it's classic) :) Stack your knees, stack your elbows, and squeeze the muscles to keep your joints healthy and happy.
Enjoy :)

Upon reflection...
You know, I used to do jump-backs from Crow to Chaturanga, and I could even do more complex arm balance transitions into Chaturanga. I haven't gotten all of that back yet... and that's OK.
Back in the day, when I did incorporate it into my flows, it was because it was FUN and NATURAL. In this context, the saying "practice and all is coming" applies!
Be mindful of your limits.
Stay present to the sensations.

I think it's safe to say I'm back on schedule with a new addition to the yoga video series on Sundays. This class was inspired by a custom video request for an energizing practice that works with Crow Pose.
It was a lot of fun!
Crow Pose is start of many arm balances, and once you get it YOU GET IT. Of course if you get out of shape then you'll have to find it again. Well, I found it again ;)
WARRIOR VINYASA. This first ...
