February Schedule: Week Two
There are 6 classes in this playlist. 3 stability classes and 3 Opening type classes.
Recommendation:
- Take 4 classes per week (more if you want!)
- If you are hypertonic - please make sure you've done at least 3 weeks of Restore Your Pelvic Floor, focusing on creating space in the pelvis and pelvic floor. Then gently add stability type of work. Pay attention to what lands well. I recommend a daily journal where you jot down what you did and how you felt. Especially in the beginning.
- Take 1-3 opening type classes and 2-3 stability (add anything else that your body is asking for)
- On days off, get on the floor! Spend 10 minutes doing moves that feel good in your body. Focus on the ones that target what you're working on. Email me if you need help figuring that out!
Don't forget to add classes to your favorites. If you take a class and it made you feel incredible, save it and come back to it again and again. I promise, it's always better then 2nd time around! Your body is already familiar with the flow and the transitions.

Side Body Stability
Having a strong side body, including the lats and serratus muscles, is important for pelvic health because they help stabilize the spine and pelvis, creating a foundation for the core muscles that support pelvic organs. Weak lats can lead to imbalances and poor posture, putting stress on the lowe...

Unwind & Reset
The world offers us plenty of stimulation, no doubt. It's up to us to make the concious decision to slice out time to turn inward. I love yoga for that. Today's class we do that by moving through a flow that will keep our gaze to an inward focus. Today's flow creates space in the pelvic floor...

Fascia Release Slow Flow
This class continues our efforts to slide and glide our fascia into a relaxed, lengthened and more functional state. In today's class we also add some mindful engagement for the pelvic floor, core and glutes to accompany the very rythmic motions of the fascia gliding work. You'll gain stability,...

Living Room Restorative Bolster Flow
Grab your bolster and a couple blocks and let's offer our bodies a much needed break from the noise! In todays class we get deeply connected to our breath with the goal of sinking into our muscle and fascia in a way that not only brings space to the body but calm to the nervous system. We hold e...
