This week’s yoga classes: Monday, heart openers! Help counter a rounding forward posture by working the upper chest and shoulders, which also stimulates the heart chakra. Tuesday, a Gentle practice with both standing and floor poses, and Wednesday a look into Dancer Pose (Natarajasana).

Nature can be a great inspiration for a yoga practice. Flowers and other plants don’t think about what they look like when they’re growing and blooming — they just feel their way through it slowly, seeking the sun and the rain. What would happen if you unfolded into your poses that way, playing with how far your body was willing to open, and not judging your experience?

Tuesday, an all-floor Gentle class, and on Wednesday, lots of ways to use yoga straps to make poses easier or to shift the muscle work from one place to another (hands-free Down Dog, anyone?).

This week, at our new class time of 10am Pacific Standard (noon Central)! On Monday, a deeply grounding practice to calm the central nervous system. Tuesday, an all-floor Gentle class; and Wednesday, playing with movement within and between poses. All classes live streamed on Zoom, $10 per person per class. All levels welcome!

This week on the mat! No class Monday … Tuesday and Wednesday are at the new class time, 10am Pacific Standard time! Tuesday’s Gentle class has both standing and floor poses, and Wednesday we’ll do a “grab bag” class with some of my favorite poses and sequences (comment below to add yours)!

This week on the mat! A Monday class working on stretching out the hips and glutes; Tuesday Gentle with both standing and floor poses; and wrapping up the week with the beginner’s hand balance, Crow Pose (including a hands-free version)!

03/22/2026

This week: a practice inspired by the Ashtanga Yoga tradition, with intriguing sequences and poses. An all-floor Gentle class, consisting of one long sequence of poses that we will repeat once, for the benefit of the digestive system. And finishing up the week looking at feet and ankles in our practice!

03/15/2026

This week on the mat! Some work with abdominals on Monday, Gentle Tuesday with both floor and standing poses, and Wednesday incorporating bhandas (energy lifts) in the physical practice! All levels welcome!

On the mat this week: a practice of repeating pose sequences, allowing your body and mind to find greater ease and depth with each visit. All-floor Gentle on Tuesday, focusing on the digestive system with long holds. And Wednesday, poses to stretch and strengthen your neck and shoulders.

All experience levels (including no experience!) welcome, all classes online via Zoom from 11am to noon Pacific Standard Time.

This week (which I almost couldn’t post as Insta decided to re-organize all my photos in a random order and remove a lot of them)! Monday we look at a balancing pose, Warrior Three, and its modifications and alternatives (feel free to use a chair or blocks). Tuesday, a Gentle class with both standing and floor poses, and Lunar Flow on Wednesday — a day late for the full moon, but who can’t use a little grounding and hip work right now?

This week in online yoga! Starting with a practice that takes inspiration from nature, allowing us to unfold into our poses and stretch from within, rather than trying to shape our poses from the outside (appearance) in … then an all-floor Gentle class that mainly centers around the plexus chakra, right where the two sides of the ribs meet. Finally, on Wednesday, a look at Shoulderstand — a beginner inversion which stimulates the vagus nerve, helps with asthma and allergies, stretches the spine, and improves circulation among other things! We’ll look at alternatives to this pose that use a wall and/or a yoga block.

All are welcome!
