Next time you forward fold, focus on these three things instead of just trying to touch your toes 👇

🧘🏻‍♀️ BEND YOUR KNEES — Give your hips room to hinge and allow your belly to move closer to your thighs without forcing the fold.

🧘🏻‍♀️ LENGTHEN YOUR SPINE — Engage your core gently and create space through your spine rather than forcing yourself deeper.

🧘🏻‍♀️ HINGE AT YOUR HIPS — Think about folding from your hip creases rather than pulling yourself down toward your toes. You’ll still feel the hamstring stretch!

Remember, the goal isn’t to have the straightest legs or the deepest fold - move with intention 🙏🏼

📌 Save this for your next practice!

Catch me locked in my closet with the lights off, doing 8 rounds of these, and coming back out like I just landed home from a beach vacation 😎

I can physically feel my nervous system relax with this breathing technique, which is why I do it not only in the AM, but literally everywhere at any given time - in the car, on an inconvenient call, on an airplane, at the grocery store - it’s a mini life hack!

Box breathing slows the heart rate and can pull the body out of that emotional “fight or flight” state. The counting of the breath also intentionally keeps the mind grounded and away from distracting thoughts.

Save this for your next time you’re about to lose your 💩

WARNING ⚠️ you may lock in so hard that your own exhale startles you 😜

Just your yoga teacher doing some very important pre-class preparations with Drake 💅🏼

Also what is it about the millennial urge to dance in any big open space?!

Enjoy 3 of my favorite shoulder openers, as someone with chronically tight shoulders !! Catch me in puppy 🐶 at least once a day

When I do these poses, I am energetically pushing my chest through the window of my arms to encourage opening. Here’s what it looks like for each pose. First we inhale to prepare and then on the exhale:

🐶 pushing your chest toward the ground. I like to go up onto my fingertips or put my elbows on blocks for added leverage.

🦂 opening through your chest and collarbones while the foot of your bent leg is trying to step flat (eventually) behind you.

🐬 pushing your chest thru the window of your arms and towards your thighs.

PS Do not over extend yourself!!!! The goal of yoga is EFFORT AND EASE. We use our breath to help open and release which is why I like to inhale to prepare the body and then use my exhale to settle into the pose and release. Pushing past the point of discomfort into pain will only bring more pain!

When it comes to mobility, results take time! Be consistent and patient ✌️

Some yoga humor for your Monday! Have a great week - dance a little, yoga a little, smile a little, sage your house a little!

In class this week we’re talking about the goddess Kali - goddess of destruction, transformation, and death. Not the evil kind though, Kali is fierce in her pursuit of truth. She gives fierce permission to burn the illusions of ego, fear, and attachment - to let them die - so something truer can take its place. When one thing ends and something new is beginning, channel your inner Kali and embrace it!!

🔥Mantra for the week: I move through change with fierce compassion and I embrace the power of release

Heyo! It’s been a while - life has been lifing hard! Trying to get back into the swing of things after a chaotic summer with the kiddos 🫶🏽

Here are some fun moves to help with hip mobility! Whether you’ve been catching flights all summer or crushing emails, being in a constantly seated position can create tight hips. I know bc I feel it too!! Find myself coming back to these more and more lately.

My kids know if we are just chilling or watching a movie together, I am doing it in malasana ! One of my all time favorite yoga poses.

Save these for later and give them a try!
