A little resistance goes a long way in this weighted class! After a short warmup we grab the weights and do our thing. First with a Weighted Crescent & Warrior Three Series, and then head into a Weighted Triangle & Half Moon Series. And we wrap it all up with some targeted core work. This class really packs a punch!

Today's class has two of my favorites, balance & core! We find balance in the flows, focused on maintaining our balance as we move from pose to pose. And we focus on core work in three separate drills that follow each flow. I also throw in a moment of balance (tree, dancer, standing pigeon) after each drill :).

Core + Flexibility...what could be better?! In this class we find the flexibility in the sequences and flows, and the core in the drills. Building flexibility is a marathon...and a little (of a lot) boring. So we pepper in the core focused drills to keep ourselves on our toes and tuned in. And to get stronger of course!

Here we go again! Another Yoga with Weights Class! In today's weighted workout we alternate between two sequences, each time upping the ante with more challenging variations. I especially love the row into triangle toward the middle of class! FYI: A little resistance definitely goes a long way in this class. But...if you've been doing yoga with weights for a while now, and class seems to be getting easier, it's time to get some bigger weights!

Today the name of the game is balance! Of course we'll be doing a lot of standing on one foot (think tree & eagle) but we'll also focus on creating strong anchors in every pose that help us maintain our balance. Especially through the transitions!

Welcome to another Yoga with Weights workout! In today's class we first start by doing yoga without weights, running through a few sequences we'll add resistance to later. ONE NOTE: If this class feels easy then your weights are too small...

We have a dual focus in this class, it's one part upper body strength & one part lower body flexibility. We kick things off in Childs Pose, taking a moment to slow things down and clear our minds. From there we dive right in, alternating between upper and lower body sequences. Keep in mind, whether it's building strength or building flexibility, the key to both is not only staying in poses longer than we may want too, but staying there in a calm, cool & collected way. So keep sending that signal to your brain that everything is A-OK and you'll be good to go!

This class has a bit of everything; core, strength, flexibility, balance, and...inversions! If it ends in 'stand' then we did it in class today. A little mini workshop for headstands, forearm stands & handstands! I'll be incorporating inversions into every livestream class going forward. Please join in and I can help you with your form!

It's that time again...another Yoga with Weights Workout where the goal is to build strength, stability & stamina! And remember a little resistance goes a long way, start off with lighter weights if you're new to this style of class and then work your way up.

In today's class we turn the focus to flexibility! I know...I can hear the groans already. So here's the deal with flexibility, if it felt good to build it we would all be flexible. But it doesn't. So we're not! The key is to keep sending that signal to your brain that everything's ok. Our bodies don't like distress, and once your brain senses you're in distress, it'll get you out of that distress asap. So keep your breath smooth, and your mind clear...aka...think happy thoughts :)

In today's class we bring the focus back to our core, building strength, stamina & stability in the middle of our body!

Today in class, the name of the game is balance! And I mean the standing on one leg for a really long time kind of balance :). But seriously, in this class Half Moon is our anchor pose. We come in and out of it multiple times with many different variations. Each time upping the ante a little more. We wrap things up in a nice headstand. Of course you always have the option to come into pigeon or another finishing pose.

In today's workout we have a dual focus, cardio and strength! We kick things off by just moving, building a sequence of 10-15 poses, flowing from one pose to the next. We take it through slow the first time, then run it through several more times at a faster pace getting our cardio on. Then it's all about 'Hold The Pose Yoga', where we hold many of the poses we flowed through with challenging variations, building strength, stamina & stability.

So, we haven't done the 'hold the pose yoga' thing for quite a while! And to make up for lost time - we're making our way through a challenging sequence today!
