Just want to get a good stretch on, without too much fuss? These classes are for you! Connect body and breath and leave practice feeling refreshed.

 

I know we are all very familiar with sun salutations, but have you ever done a moon salutation? Chandra Namaskar, or moon salutation, is a series of yoga asanas (poses) we practice with the breath to bathe in sweet, lunar energy. Great for if you are feeling anxious, tired, maybe a bit overworked. Lovely for any time you want to slow down a bit while still getting a nice stretch in, or for when you want to connect to softer energy. Enjoy this short and sweet practice on days you are short on time, or repeat the flow as many times as you like. Also works as a cool down after other strong embodiment practice.

This week I’m bringing you a deliciously cozy, simple and concise class you can do right from the comfort of your bed. This short class is designed to be for either right before you go to sleep, or right after you wake up. Get cozy and refresh yourself with this handful of super accessible stretches. All levels welcome.

How lucky are we that Morgan gave us not one, but two of her classes to our community?? This class felt absolutely amazing in my body, a perfect little full body tune up for the days you don't want to push too hard but still want full body expansion and grounded, earthy connection.

A quick, gentle (almost) 10 minute full body stretch. Can be used as a warmup for other classes, or on its own if you are short on time but still want to get a good stretch in!

Feeling stressed out? Overwhelmed? Some anxiety creeping in? This class is for you! In just 15 minutes we take the time to breathe, take a break from over stimulation, enjoy some calming low-to-the-ground postures, and rise together to continue about our day. Great as a mid-day break, or at any time of day you need to come back to center and be held as you exhale.

This class is for those days when you need a quick embodied reset for your energy. Great to take during a lunch break as there is no equipment needed and you don’t get too sweaty, or good for any busy day when you need a quick full body stretch. All levels, to the point maintenance practice.

Are you one of my beloved desk warriors? Or do you spend a lot of time sitting, on your phone, on a computer, hunched over artwork, or anything like that? Chances are you answered yes to at least one of these questions and this class will be great for you! We get a quick full body stretch and connection in this short class. Great as a break through the work day, or any time you need quick expansion. All levels friendly including level 1!

This is a short and sweet practice that is suitable for every single type of practitioner, and I specially made it by request of one of our members who is pregnant! We just do a handful of simple, gentle postures to open the hips and decompress the low back. Friday the cat definitely wanted to be a part of this video, so expect to have her crunching her kibbles as we stretch :) Friendly for level 1, all ages, all levels, pregnant friends… you name it!

Sciatica pain is a super common issue, where we experience pain or tingling sensations from the low back, into the glutes, hips, and down into the legs. Tune in to this short and simple video where I demonstrate some accessible stretches to relieve pain here and to learn more about sciatica. All levels friendly, including those who have no exercise routine established!

Here’s a mini slower flow for those days that you’re feeling tight in the neck and shoulders. We just go through a handful of simple stretches and movements to help create more space in these areas that hold quite a lot of tension in most bodies. All levels, chill practice.

Maybe your arms are sore because you have been rock climbing, doing extra chaturangas, carrying a baby around, or doing lots of chores around the house. Whatever the reason, you are likely coming to this class because you need a good stretch through the arms, the wrists, and the shoulders. We open all these areas of the body and do some self massage to quickly and efficiently relieve some soreness. All levels are welcome to this simple seated practice.

This class is another one for when you don’t have as much time for a long practice but still want to find space and length through the whole of your body. In 18 minutes we get to refresh the whole physical system through breath and chill movements. This one was made specifically for my Level 1 friends, but I also realized it’s great for all levels.

This all-levels practice is pretty much exactly how it sounds in the title. It is a class where we focus on creating length in the whole body and the lungs. We access juicy expansion throughout the system in just 20 minutes, so perfect for when you are short on time, when traveling, or when you are just craving quick breath-body connection. No props needed!

This class is exactly how the title sounds: a short and sweet practice to open up the body and the breath. Even when we are short on time, just a short practice can really change the way we feel throughout our busy days. In this class I offer a short and gentle vinyasa, a few yin-like stretches, and a very brief guided breathing meditation. Level 1 practice, all levels welcome!

I made this class for those times when you may be experiencing discomfort in your low back. This is a super common complaint for people in our modern world, with many possible causes such as poor posture, tight hips, tight hamstrings, or a weak core to name a few. This is a pretty quick and dirty class where I quickly show you the stretches and movements. I chose this format so you could try different things out, and pause the video when you find something that feels *oh so right*. All levels friendly.

This week I am bringing back a style of practice that we used to do more of on the membership, which is a quick and dirty practice for busy days. This practice is just under 20 minutes, but it really does not compromise on quality. This class is most levels friendly, just a bit quick in pace. The little bit of heat we do generate is all in service of stretching ouuuuut the spine and hamstrings in deep folds and twists, but the whole body does get touched upon as always in Vinyasa style practice. A block or two could be useful for class, especially as we work towards Triangle pose variations.

This class is designed to be taken after you are already warmed up, so do at least a few sun salutations before pressing play. Just as the title suggests, I offer yummy stretches for you to luxuriate within. You can expect a full body expansion in this short and sweet practice. Super chill, all levels friendly. Can be practiced on its own, or after my 20 min Level 1/All Levels HIIT Yoga Workout, or one of my other short stronger classes.

This class is designed for when you aren’t feeling 100% but still want some connection with your body. I recorded this class when I was recovering from Covid-19, and it left my lungs feeling less restricted, my back and legs less achey, and my spirit more open. Movements are very slow, simple, and generally all levels. If you’re having a sick day like me, put on your jammies and breathe with me!

Chances are, you have some tension living in your neck, shoulders, and trapezius muscles that you are wanting to release! Most of us harbor tension in these areas of the body. Join me for just under 30 minutes of sweet, sweet release. You’ll want a block, blanket, and strap (or belt or scarf) for class. All levels friendly (yup, including level 1!)

This class is just as it sounds: slow, juicy, short, & sweet yoga to help open up most of the body in just 30 minutes. This practice is low-to-the-ground (meaning, all done laying, sitting, and kneeling), and is great any time you want some grounding, are feeling tight and stiff, need some nice stretch, to access deeper breathing. Great for a busy day, but also great for sunshiney days where you want to just bask in the sweet warmth of your body. All levels friendly. You’ll want a strap for this class, and 2 blocks are optional.

I am absolutely honored to present this class to you all. Meet Morgan, one of my dearest soul friends and favorite yoga teachers. Morgan teaches from a well of deep experiential knowledge, Indigenous wisdom, and from a sacred place in all of her classes. I hope you enjoy having a little something different with our first guest teacher appearance on the membership!

While stoking the Agni (Fire) is important for our transformation, cooling the fire with Soma (Nectar) is just as important to assimilate the journey thus far. It’s important to take time to slow down, heal the tension in the body, and refresh ourselves anew. This class aims towards this feeling of nourishment and restoration, but it is not a yin practice as we do move a little bit. Full body practice where we open the hips, the heart, the legs, the spine, and even the tissues of the lungs and spaciousness of the mind with a pranayama practice and a mini savasana / meditation.

This is a compact 30 minute, all levels practice to help you release tension in the hips, the spine, and the shoulders. We do some standing postures to help us get longer in all directions, but I would consider this more of a nectar practice even with the strengthening moments. A little bit of muscle engagement gets us warm and helps us flush stagnant energy and tension. After yummy stretches, there is a short silent Savasana at the end for you to enjoy before your busy day or evening.

Take the edge off in this rest-centered, grounded practice. For those who need to slow it down due to fatigue, feeling under the weather, or the assortment of life happenings in general this class is for you. Align breath, body, and healing stretches to release what’s tense and cultivate a little more spacious you time.

This is a super mellow, all-levels mini practice for taking care of our joints. Whether you are new to the practices of yoga and are very stiff, or are a well-seasoned practitioner who stands on your hands, you will definitely get some relief in the tension in and around your joints here. We work on allll the major joints: wrists, fingers, ankles, toes, hips, and shoulders. Little bit of self-leg massage, whole lot of time on the floor. This practice is safe for postpartum and for seniors! Just listen to your body and always modify when needed.

Join me for just over half an hour of sweet, sweet RELEASE! Whether you are a beginner practitioner, advanced athlete, an office worker, a hard working parent, or anything else: I promise this class will benefit you. We all need to take the time to release the tension in our muscles in ways that stretching just can’t do, and this class teaches you how to do that. Also some contemplation around body acceptance: another reminder we could all use!

You will need either a foam roller, a massage ball, or a tennis ball for this practice.

Happy new year to my lovely yoga family! I am so grateful to have you here for another year with me. This is a super gentle and truly all-levels practice. We stay on the floor the whole class (so no standing poses at all). This is a great practice for needing to gently relieve some tension in the body, or if you’re healing a foot-related injury but still want to connect to breathing and body. We have a nice low-body self massage infused in the practice, and we conclude with a yummy Savasana.

Do you struggle with anxiety or over stimulation? Or maybe you’re feeling over excited? Stuck in your head? Maybe you’re neurodivergent? Or maybe you just need to ground your energy? If any of these apply to you, this class is designed to help you get out of your head and into your body through breath, posture, and physical tactile touch. The poses are quite simple and class is taught in a way to include my level 1 friends, but all levels of yoga practitioners can enjoy this nice, simple, sweet and nurturing practice. Most of the body gets opened up through both standing and seated poses.

This is a short, efficient, and practical class to help those of you with lower back pain. In the beginning and throughout practice, I explain what is needed to help ease lower back pain: opening and strengthening the surrounding areas of the low back to support it. One thing I do not say in practice, is the key to reducing lower back pain is consistently opening and strengthening these body areas over time. One yoga practice won't cure our pain, but consistent yoga practice really can help us find immense freedom in the body. This class is all levels friendly, and I teach in a somewhat level 1 manner to make sure everyone can keep up and access.
One note: my new kitty cat Dante made his presence *very* known in this class. In the first half of class especially he makes some noise and causes a bit of disruption. But it was his first time around me while filming, so I think he is just getting used to that and his new home :) Hopefully you can enjoy his addition and my slight distraction by him with a sense of humor and grace.

In this All-Levels class we move in a slow, nourishing way to relieve pain in the upper back. This is an area of the body we are all naturally tighter in and so it’s important to hydrate this area through loving movement. We spend about 25 minutes in gentle flowing, then we spend almost 10 minutes in a guided savasana in a heart bench, one of my favorite restorative shapes! I will say if you are postpartum, you should take that one backbend offering on the knees more mellow and subtle. I hope you enjoy!

An all levels (yes, that includes total beginners!) sloooow flow. Expect to stretch most major areas of the body in this practice where we slow down to savor each breath and every movement. We won’t be generating much heat in class, just enjoying some yummy stretches!

In this 40 minute all-levels practice, we physically focus on easing tightness in our hamstrings, which as a result helps us open up our low back. This is a creative Vinyasa flow, but it’s truly accessible for all levels and can be modified up and down as needed. We close with a full guided savasana and a mudra.

Join me for an all levels slow flow where we welcome in the energy of Springtime on the Equinox: a day where we reflect on balance, equanimity, and a kind perspective. We start with some gentle breathwork and intention setting, and we move into a slow, simple, and sweet physical asana practice that opens most of the body up in an efficient way.

In this almost 40 minute class, we move very slowly and consciously so we can greet the body in a kind and gentle way. This class is great for quite a few groups: women in their third trimester of pregnancy, those experiencing PCOS or intense menstrual cycle side effects, anyone feeling stressed out, anyone feeling really tight in the hips and chest, those feeling limited in mobility, or if you’re even just feeling generally fatigued. Join me for a slow and simple class where we focus on gentle expansion and sweet rest.

Today’s class is slow and conscious in pace as we explore beloved poses in a more accessible way using a chair as a prop. Join me for this gentle, full body stretch and deep breaths to feel a little more spacious in the coming day. All levels friendly. You might also want two blocks or thick books if you’re short like me, and maybe a strap for just one of the stretches.

This is a 40-min, all levels hip opening class, especially good for during Menstrual Cycle or for any time your hips and low back could use some grounding and gentle opening. We only generate a little bit of heat in the legs to help the muscles feel warm enough to open, and is otherwise a very nourishing practice.

This is a slow flow where we take our time moving through various reclined, standing, and seated postures to open up the highways of the hamstrings, the belly of the thighs, and the whole of the hips. Working on this area of the body can help us in many ways, including releasing lower back congestion. The practice is all levels friendly, with opportunities to explore deep flexibility through middle splits and straddle fold.

This is a gentle all levels practice where we focus on creating more space in the whole of the torso so we can access fuller, healthier, bigger breathing. I share a bit of my personal journey as an asthmatic and how these practices have really helped me with my respiratory health. One thing I forgot to say in class: Learning to breathe in the back of the body is NOT easy! It took me many practice sessions to embody this teaching, so be patient with yourself as you explore this technique. Even if your lungs are healthy, it’s always nice to practice more embodied breathing for a sense of presence in your day.

This class is focused around investigating the expansion available within subtle sensations in the body. Join me for 45 minutes of simple, sweet, and softening postures to find space in a different way. Super gentle practice, all levels friendly. Almost yin-like with some self massage and a propped up Savasana.

We had a few beautiful days here in Groningen, so I decided to film a class for you by the lake! Since the sounds of the lake and boats and the birds join us for class, I do my best to keep my talking down to a minimum and to project my voice. I mainly just talk in this class to get you in and out of poses - which can be super nice in the way of immersing yourself into your own experience for practice. At the beginning it's a bit louder with some boats, but the sounds do level out in a really nice way that I think adds to the practice, especially in the full savasana at the end. Physically you can expect a simple but juicy full body opening, slow movement, and several breaths in each pose. Great for anyone who feels the need to stretch, open, and find expansion in the major areas of the body: chest, shoulders, back, hips, legs all get some love. Enjoy!

Mobility is the space where supportive strength meets flexible expansion. Join me for almost an hour of creative vinyasa practice where we explore active flexibility in motion, aimed to leave you feeling strong and long through most major areas of the body. You’ll get especially open through the hips in this fluid flow!

For those of you who have taken class with Morgan, you know just how incredible she is at assisting us in sweet sweet release. Join her for just under an hour of yoga for nourishment at Morgan's slow and welcoming pace. Good for all levels, including level 1 friends.

In this nearly hour long class, we move very consciously as we release tension from the whole body: the neck, shoulders, chest, back, side body, belly, hips, legs, and even wrists and ankles. This is a truly all levels class, even for those who are fairly new to the practice. Not too vigorous of a class, really more gentle and focused on softening any tension in the body. We start off with some pranayama / guided meditation and close with a little Savasana.

I have been receiving a lot of requests for hip opening and low body flexibility lately, so this class is devoted to that! We will be visiting Pigeon in as many variations as we can squeeze within an hour. You can expect a balance of hard work and delicious nourishment as we contemplate the theme of balance not just on our mat, but also in our lives. It’s a bit fast faced in moments, I’d probably call it all levels with an intermediate edge. There are plenty of opportunities to modify up towards deeper flexibility, or down for a more mellow approach. A full 5 minutes of silent Savasana at the end for you.

A different offering for you all with this one. I felt inspired to make a class that is safe to practice while injured in the shoulder, wrist, arm, or just for days when you don’t want to hold any weight with your upper body. We focus on finding opportunities for growth and learning within obstacles like injuries through pranayama, standing flow, seated and supine stretches, facial massage, and short but sweet savasana. All Levels.
