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! We kick things off by first flowing through poses we'll hold later, getting them in our bodies. Then we hold each of the poses we moved through, focused on alignment and building up our stamina. If you don't usually hold poses for too long, I really recommend this workout. It's nice to mix in with the Vinyasa, flow-y style classes! And we wrap things up with a little headstand fun :)

Day 1 Kicks off the 5 Day Napa Yoga Bootcamp Series! We kick things off in Down Dog, which will be our beginning for all 5 days. After a short warmup we dive into our first HIIT drill, mountain climbers! Then we alternate for the ret of the workout between short strength focused sequences and HIIT drills. If you can, rather than replace your normal workout with this class, add this class ON to your normal routine. Do more. Get in shape.

In this Zoom Yoga Workout we take the focus back to Yoga with Weights, which means we're looking to build strength, period! We start things off in Child's Pose, our start of choice for October, taking a moment to slow things down, quiet our minds, and find our breath. From there we do yoga without weights, previewing a kick-ass sequence that we'll add resistance to later, Side Plank, Reverse Warrior, Extended Side Angle, Half Moon & Triangle. That's a mouthful! Then we add the weights and do our thing. There's a gradual build to the class, with each pose and sequence leading to the next. I LOVED this workout, and I know it sounds a little cheesy because I'm the one teaching, but the for-real focus on the poses above was awesome.

We have a dual focus in this Livestream Yoga Workout: Core + Flexibility. We start off in Child's Pose, taking a moment to slow things down and find our breath. Then we dive in with a short warmup, focused on stretching the back of our body while engaging the front of our body, beginning to activate our core. Then we alternate between flexibility focused sequences and core focused HIIT drills. It's a great combo and one of my favorite practices!

Welcome to Day 1 of the 10 Day Hawaii Series! Shot on Maui at Kamaole Beach Three, we kick the series off by focusing on Balance, because who couldn't use a little more balance in their lives right now. We get right to it, starting in Tree Pose, focused on creating anchors that help us balance and focus. From there we move through a series balance poses like Eagle, Half Moon & Warrior Three, building each pose up as well as adding in challenging variations. And of course there are several HIIT drills thrown in along the way to shake things up!

Another full hour of Yoga with Weights...woohoo!! We kick things off by first doing yoga without weights, getting a few key poses and sequences in our bodies before adding resistance. Our main sequence is a challenging Reverse Warrior, Extended Side Angle, Triangle, Half Moon series. We then move into a weighted Cat & Cow series, building strength both in our core and backs. And we wrap things up with a couple straight up Core focused sequences. Yoga with Weights...get stronger!

Shot under the Williamsburg Bridge in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, with Day 9 in the Social Distance Yoga Series, for the first time, we bring the focus to Yoga with Weights. After a quick warmup without weights, we move into our Reverse Warrior / Extended Side Angle /Triangle Series, pushing ourselves to build both shoulder and core stability. Then we do rows in Triangle, moving into Half Moon Pose. From there it's a Crescent Series that leads into Rotated Half Moon exercises, my new favorite!

We turn the focus back to flexibility in this Livestream Yoga Workout, specifically in our hamstrings and backs. A Crescent flow kicks things off, warming our bodies for more challenging poses to come. We come in and out of a few poses over and over, so each time I want you to focus on going a little bit further, pushing your flexibility. This was an awesome workout!

And we're off! Day 1 kicks off the Three Rounds Series. With a grove of palm trees as our background, we start class seated with our first breathing exercise. Then we move through a short yoga flow. And then it's all about standing on one leg in our first balance challenge. We then take two more rounds with a new flow, balance challenge, and breathing exercise

A full hour of Yoga with Weights...woohoo!! I'm so happy to bring this class back on Wednesday at lunch :) We play around with a Reverse Warrior, Triangle, Half Moon series, first without the weights, and then adding resistance. We wrap things off with a short headstand practice. If you're looking to get stronger...DO THIS CLASS.

It's all about building strength & stability in the middle of our bodies in this Core focused Lifestream Class. We kick things off seated, our start of choice for September, taking a moment to find our beginning. From there we dive into a fun Warrior Two Series, warming things up, which will come in handy for Core focused poses down the road. This class was a ton of FUN! Or at least as fun as a core focused class can be :)

We turn the focus to Balance in this Livestream Yoga Workout, which means we're going to be standing on one leg...a lot! Other than the usual suspects like Tree & Eagle, we focus primarily on Warrior Three and Half Moon Pose, challenging ourselves with tricky transitions in and out of each. First we create strong anchors within each pose, then slowly peel those away finding 'for real' focus!

In this Livestream Yoga Workout the name of the game is standing Balance...which means we'll do a lot of standing on one leg! We kick things off seated, taking a moment to slow things down and focus on our breath. Then we dive in with a short warmup, practicing creating strong anchors within poses. Warrior Three & Half Moon pose are the poses we focus on the most, finding challenging transitions as we make our way in and out of each. Then we wrap thing up with a mini Tripod Headstand workshop at the end. If you'd like to work on balance then this is definitely the class for you!

Day 2 of the Napa Bootcamp Series! We kick things off again in Down Dog, taking a moment to warm our bodies up, especially the upper body. After a short flow, we dive into our first HIIT drill, Burpees, probably my least favorite drill on the planet! From there we again alternate between short yoga sequences and HIIT drills. I really loved the sequencing in Day 2, especially the Half Moon and Rotated Half Moon sections!
