FLOW 30: Planks for Healthy Posture

love them or love to get them over with, planks are an essential component of vinyasa practice...they allow us to flow from pose to pose, build core strength and instill good posture -- when done properly.

in this episode, we'll explore: one major alignment point -- lifting the back of your head to line up with your spine...and one major action item -- pressing your hands firmly into the floor.

combined, these two essentials will refine your high plank and chaturanga posture, strengthen your core, and create a feeling of buoyancy as you flow through your vinyasas.,

FLOW 30: Dialing in Your Half Lift

Ardha Utttanasana may be the most important pose we do for back health: it strengthens the back and helps us activate our core for planks, chaturangas, and forward folds...when it's done well. this 30-minute practice will brush up your skills and get you started toward building strength in those oh-so-important postural muscles!

Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog) is one of the most common postures you'll meet in vinyasa yoga. it's an asana that you can refine for a lifetime...this 30-minute practice starts with what's most essential...how you ground and support yourself with your hands, arms and shoulders.

FLOW 35: An Ode to Child’s Pose

in this episode, we dig deeply into child's pose (in the context of an all-purpose vinyasa class -- you will move, too!).

it's our hope to help you find the alignment for child's pose that's most helpful to you, so you have a go-to resting pose for those moments in practice when your body, mind or spirit needs a rest.

resting is important...it's not a break, it's part of the practice. when we rest, we come back stronger, more renewed, more resilient.
