Glute & Hamstring Stability
"Nothin' good comes from having weak glutes!" When the glutes are weak, it becomes a domino effect around them creating dysfunctional patterns and compensation in other musculature groups that eventually leads to pain or other pelvic conditions like urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse....

Glute & Hip Release
This is a yin/yang type of practice that has elements of gentle stability and also several highly effective outer hip and glute release postures. So you'll get the best of both worlds all packed into a little flow. We'll start with some foam rolling and end with a lovely myofascial release for ...

15 Min Stability : Subtle Core
Moving through poses quickly and hardening around engagement takes away the opportunity to connect with the subtleties of movement. In short, we can't feel the little things happening if we don't slow down to pay attention to it. This is especially important with our core work when we are worki...

Finding Balance
(21 Minutes)
Today's practice is focused on creating a connection and engaging in the musculature that helps us balance. If you think about it, we balance every single time we pick one foot up off the floor like when we walk, climb a stair or step off a curb. So our pelvis is already being aske... -
TLC for Psoas & Hip Flexors
Today we are giving some love and attention to the deep core muscle, the psoas alongside the other hip flexors. Yes the psoas is a hip flexor but it's also a spine stabalizer amongst other roles. Because a muscle is more apt to releasing when you've gently engaged it, we will be doing some stab...

Living Room Wind Down
This is a great flow to do at the end of your day as a way of winding down. It's also a great flow if you have hypertension (or are trying to prevent it) in the pelvic floor and want an easy practice to go to, to gently create some space and grounding down of the nervous system. I regularly vis...

Morning Cup of Yoga
Sometimes we just need to get moving and activated in order to stoke that inner fire and prepare for our day. Although this is a perfect, get you going, morning routine, you can do it anytime of day that you're needing an energy boost. It's amazing how much better we can feel after a short fier...

15 Min Stability: Twisted Business
Today, we are getting twisty with it! We will explore several different poses and work on our engagement during active range of motion, aka mobility, as we twist through the upper body. This is especially helpful for the paraspinals, also known as the erector spinae as well as the multifidi and ...
-
Strong Glutes Add-On
The moves we do in this class are actually the ones I do in my own personal practice every single week. I have to be careful how much I activate through the glutes as to not cause a flare of pelvic nerve pain and I know a lot of students in my classes are in the same position. So give these a t...

Bigger Isn't Better!
(class is 23 minutes)
Some people have the notion that they have to do BIG things to get BIG results and I'm here to tell you, that's not always true. In fact, if you don't spend time cultivating the small connections with your pelvic floor, deep core and other pelvic muscles, then the larger mov... -

Loop Release, A Class For Grounding
All you will need for this class is a yoga strap! We will use it to spend some time unwinding and letting go of the day in some gentle and supported posture holds. This class isn't about deep stretching, it's about feeling a gentle and supported stretch and staying there long enough to send the...

20 Min Restorative Reset
We are going to stay low and slow with this one. Between initial vagal tone techniques and quietly finding stillness in some full body opening poses, you should walk away from this class a little more settled and a little more grounded in peace.
You will need a blanket and a bolster. (If you...

Full Body Somatic Flow
Here's the # 1 rule for today's class.... there are no rules! I want you to follow the cues that your body is giving you today and move in a way that feels supportive and intuitive. You wanna go right when I go left, do it! You wanna shake or shimmy when I twist or circle, beautiful! That's wh...

10 Minute Knees
The knees are tricky. There are many reasons that they could be cranky and one of them is that the surrounding muscles aren't supporting them. In todays class, we will bring stability to the quads (helps to stabalize the knee cap), the glute med and min (myofascially connects to the IT band whic...

Deep Core 10 Min Flow
Working the deep core doesn't always need to consist of the "regulars" you think about like plank, bird dogs or leg lowers. We can also create core stability in many of the standing positions especially when you focus your intentions. So let's spend 10 minutes challenging those muscles and tapp...
-
Pelvic Stability Mini (revised)
This 15 minute sequence (sorry, 10 just wasn't enough!) is going to hit up all the major aspects of our pelvic stability work. The glutes, pelvic floor and core as well as the outer hips are all going to get find some heat in our flow.
Make sure you are in a healthy space to do stabalizing w... -
10 Min Psoas Support
The Psoas is very integrated with the health of our pelvis, low back and core. It's a hip flexor, yes, but it's also a very deep core muscle and spine stabalizer. On top of that, it myofascially connects to the diaphragm so when it's tight it can also affect our breath! Today we lengthened, mob...

Pelvis Awakening
Yogis, this is an all around amazing class for creating strength and stability in the pelvis including the glutes, pelvic floor, deep core and hamstrings. 20 Minutes on the mat will leave you feeling so strong in your body but not without sacrificing the mental and emotional peace that comes wit...

Quick Little Hip Release
When you've only got 15 minutes and you want to get some solid pelvic work in, this will be a fabulous class to turn to! We hit up so much in 15 minute. (yes I said 10 in the video but I don't think I'm capable of 10 minute classes lol!) We make space for the glutes, hip flexors, inner thighs an...
