TURTLE TIME
A cooling, quieting, introspective practice (not without its challenges)
exploring two turtle poems through movement.
This flow is governed by the downward current of energy, with lots of rounding and seated forward folds. Enjoy!

75-MINUTE CREATIVE FLOW PRACTICES
Three playful, imperfect, fun recorded flow sessions for intermediate yoga practitioners are now available as a package.
Each of these home practices is an embodied exploration of a theme from a poem chosen to help us through quarantine.
Practice them whenever, wherever, as often as you'd like!

LOW BACK TLC
A 75-minute flow to ease low back pain.
Targets areas of the body most responsible for lower back aches resulting from too much sitting.
Avoids much of the up-and-down movement of sun salutes, and repetition of the "vinyasa" (lowering through a push-up to a backbend).
Instead, this is a slow build that will open hamstrings, hips, and upper back, to ease the pressure on that poor delicate lumbar spine.

SIMPLE BUT STRONG:
A 60-minute bread-and-butter classical yoga practice
Great for conditioning, this simple one-hour sequence presents a classical flow:
spinal warm-ups, 5 reps of sun salute A, 3 reps of sun salute B, open-hipped standing poses, twists and backbends and balances, a little core work, and one very brief breath practice that takes you off to savasana.
Enjoy!

METABOLIZING WHITE REACTIVITY
All-levels yoga introducing a practice of metabolizing race-related fear, anger, and shame held in white bodies, to build stamina for anti-racism work.
Inspired by Resmaa Menakem's work on dismantling what he calls "white-body supremacy" through new advances in psychobiology, this class targets the muscle groups found to hold difficult emotions, and tricks to "hack" the nervous system.

Great for brand new beginners to yoga, and those looking for a tightly-structured review: 4 sessions glossing the basics of a well-rounded yoga practice.
Each Monday will focus on what keeps us safe and grounded in a category of
physical poses, and then a related element of philosophical or energetic work.

standing poses; heating and cooling breath practices
week 2
hip openers and forward folds; mapping the energy currents and their typical blockages
week 3
backbends and core; mapping the chakras
week 4
twists and balances; 3 yoga sutras that take our practice on the mat out into the world
