This is an extended version of our previous two low back pain classes (one is 15 min and one is 30.) This class is appropriate for whatever reason your low back is hurting whether it's an acute situation where you overdid it OR if you are holding chronic pain in that area.

We will still do a fe...

Who says working your deep core has to be a sweaty mess of plank poses and sit ups?! Today we got strappy with it and used this incredible tool to get deeper connected to our pelvic floor, hip flexors, core and upper body. All we used in class was a strap but you could have a couple blocks handy...

This class focuses on opening up the muscles of the glutes. I'm sure you've heard of piriformis syndrome where the piriformis muscle (as well as others around it) are tight and start to put pressure on the sciatic nerve. It can be very painful! The nerve itself actually starts in the low back ...

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...

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...

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...

Hint hint - this class isn't actually about biceps! But we do a bicep bind in a few different postures and I know it'll help you remember the class if/when you come back to it. Today we are focusing on the upper back with the protraction and retraction of the scapulas which also involved the sho...

Considered the Super Highway to the Pelvic Floor, the inner thighs play an important role in our pelvic health. They are directly connected to our second layer of the pelvic floor, where our urogenital diaphragm resides and within that, the urethral sphincter. When there's restriction, it has t...

This one is a pretty chill flow focusing a lot on opening up the diaphragm for better breathing and just grounding down into some movement after a long day/week. Nothing too strenuous, just moving your body. It's called "Yoga for Mental Fatigue"  because it's one of those classes you take when yo...

Improving hip mobility can enhance more coordination between the hip and pelvic floor muscles, aka they will "communicate better," which can lead to better function of the muscles, reduced tension within the pelvis, better posture, increased range of motion and overall improve your pelvic health....

Get ready to raise the heat with this practice! Not in a panting, sweaty mess kind of way. In the subtle, "am I supposed to have muscles there" kind of way! :) The inner thighs are intricately connected to the pelvic floor - often called the super highway to the pelvic floor. Studies show tha...

Time to turn down the noise and turn up the myofascial release yogis! Today we are using a blanket to get into our connective tissue and start releasing some long held tension in the psoas, inner thighs, outer hips and some other hip flexors. This incredibly relaxing sequence will leave you fee...

Let's face it, we live in a fast paced world and our responsibilities can be seemingly endless. There's no shortage of busy-ness and there's constant stimulation bubbling around us at ALL times. Once in a while, we need to turn down the noise. We need to do intentional things that calm our ner...

This is a simple class to get your hips mobilized and lengthened without the stability work that we often do together. Sometimes, your body (and your mind) just need a little break. This will work all the pertinent areas that create ideal hip health including the glutes, inner thighs, pelvic fl...

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...

This intermediate pelvic stability class is Level 2 of our Restore Your Pelvic Floor series! We are progressing some similar moves to the beginners level and also adding some new ones including challenging your balance.

Same concepts apply as in the first level, pay attention to what's happeni...

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...

This full body flow class will have you leaving your mat feeling grounded, open and revived! Our flow will take us through postures that help us create space, gentle stability and mobility. Basically everything your pelvic health needs and the rest of your body will benefit from. I recommend add...

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...

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...

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...

Somatic Yoga - What is it?

All of us have habitual patterns that we hold in our body. There can be a number of reasons for this: trauma (childbirth, a fall, etc), posture imbalances or even things like repetitive use. We are going to refer to this as guarding or holding.

In traditional yoga, w...
