Here's a 30 Minute Yin Style practice designed to nourish and create space for the lungs. Common postural habits that come along with working at a computer, holding a phone or even driving for long periods of time creates a posture that contributes to short and shallow breathing. When we don't breathe in deeply and effortlessly, feelings of anxiety, stress and fatigue can become a common occurrence. Try this short Yin Style practice where the holds are a little shorter than traditional yin and we've infused a few acupressure techniques and myofascial release to further enhance relaxation and reduce stress. For this class you'll need two blocks. Enjoy!

30 Minute Gentle Yoga practice focusing on opening up the side body. You'll need one block for this class. We also begin class using a wall, but all poses done on the wall can be simply modified by placing the feet on the floor. Enjoy!

Here's a nice chill all levels Slow Flow that moves at just the right pace. Enjoy!

Bike riders or "Cyclists" have a very specific posture and group of muscles that are primarily used when riding, and with that a tendency to have tightness, tension patterns and fatigue in those same areas. In this super duper slowed down yoga class, we'll go through some poses and movements that will help open the front of the body (countering the prolonged flexion in riding for any period of time) as well as giving some love and much needed stretching to some of the hard working muscles on the back of the body (hamstrings & glutes). You will need props for this class. So grab a blanket or bolster (or even a large beach towel), a yoga strap and a block or two and I'll see you on your mat. Enjoy!

We have four (quad) quadricep muscles in our upper leg. They are the Rectus Femoris, Vastus Medialis, Vastus Lateralis & Vastus Intermedius. Their primary job is to extend the knee (the rectus femoris also helps to flex the hip). If you've been climbing lots of stairs, working out hard, doing some extra squats, leg extensions or maybe riding your bike more than you're used to, chances are you might be experiencing some soreness. That's where Myofascial Release comes in! Myofascial Release is an awesome tool to use both as a prehab exercise as well as rehab. Use the technique in this video before and after you tackle your next tough workout.* As a bonus, if you've been experiencing knee pain, the techniques in this video could also help to ease some of that. Try it out and let us know what you think. Enjoy! *If using myofascial release as a "prehab" exercise immediately prior to a sport/workout, make sure to do it for much less time than you would after. Studies show 30 seconds to a minute is all you would need to increase joint mobility with no negative effects on muscle performance. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4637917/)

Here's the perfect way to start your day. A Gentle Slow Flow w/Shelly. This class is mostly Gentle focused with many poses done seated and laying down with a few flowing standing poses incorporated for a perfectly balanced class. Enjoy!

Nerve Flossing for the Brachial Plexus I don’t have my expert videographer with me this time, just me and my cockeyed tripod, but I hope you’ll enjoy. :) This is a great one to do if you’re stuck at your desk all day and could even be done right from your chair if needed (it’s a little more effective if you can find your way to the floor though).

We hope you'll enjoy this audio recording of a Yoga Nidra guided meditation. Make sure you're seated (better yet lying down comfortably) and we highly recommend you don't listen to this while driving. :)
