When I'm upset or have to process - I write. So I wrote this morning about what's come up for me so far after hearing the results of the U.S. presidential election.

Caution - there's some swear words. Ok...many swear words.

This is a special release from the vault, because this is the very first class I filmed virtually! Wow, have I come far over the last several months and fifty plus classes (with all the tech, the editing, being less awkward on camera, the whole bit!)

In this 30 minute energizing yoga flow, we’ll do moves to open your hips and chest. Poses include: triangle, crescent lunge, and reverse table top. I hope you enjoy!

Have you ever experienced shoulder pain in downward facing dog? Or maybe a student of yours has?
In this article, I talk about:
👉what pain is, and the more recent pain science info
👉the myth of "shoulder impingement"
👉tips for alignment adjustments in downward facing dog to alleviate discomfort in this area.

Of course - getting STRONGER in your shoulders will most certainly reduce pain, in downward facing dog or otherwise.

So be sure you're strengthening those arms to feel your best both on and off your mat! 💪😘

The shoulder impingement myth, information about pain science, plus my top tips for reducing shoulder pain in downward facing dog.

Not sure why my Face ID isn’t working?? 🤪

This boy is nearly killing me with kindness, by using my mouth and nose as a pillow and suffocating me.

What a way to go, though 🥰

In this YogaPUMP class we focus on upper body strength around the theme of downward facing dog - both to strengthen and improve our upper body strength for our downdogs as well as exercises that focus on the opposing/neglected muscle groups for this pose.

Moves include: serratus anterior punches, tricep kickbacks, and overhead shrugs

Includes the use of a set of light and extra-light dumbbells.

Last week I asked our Yoga & Strength Training Resource Facebook Group and on my Instagram stories if y'all thought Downward Facing Dog was a resting pose or not (and the results were a bit surprising!)

I wrote an article about this topic, my thoughts and opinions from a science-based perspective (with my usual swearing and sarcasm, of course!)

Check it out here 👉

I’d venture to guess that you’ve seen somewhere in yoga-land that downward facing dog (or adho mukha svanasana in sanskrit) is a “rest pose”? I’ve heard this claim plenty and it’s a bone I just gotta pick. According to an article by NBC News back in February of 2017, they state:“Down d...
