This heart-opening Vinyasa Flow begins with gentle hip and chest openers before gradually building into standing balances that challenge focus and stability. We close the practice by arriving in our peak posture, Ek Pada Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon Pose), creating a sense of openness, balance, and calm energy throughout the body.
This session focuses on chest-opening twists with light hip openers, gradually building toward a reverse plank peak pose, with the option to modify using bridge. The class flows through gentle pranayama and mindful movement to open and expand the heart space.
Continuing our heart-centered Vinyasa flow series, this class introduces gentle backbending to deepen the opening of the heart space. We gradually build the flow, layer by layer, leading toward our peak posture, Dhanurasana. The practice then winds down with elements of Qi Gong and longer-held, supportive counterposes to restore and rebalance the body.
This is the first class in our new heart-centered Vinyasa series, focused on gently opening the heart space and activating the heart chakra—supporting both lung capacity and cardiovascular health. The flow combines mindful movement with soft, steady breath, with no peak poses and plenty of repetition to ensure it’s accessible and supportive for all levels.
This flow is centered around gentle and progressive backbends to open the front of the body, especially the neck and throat chakra. We begin with soft movements to awaken the spine, then gradually deepen into Shalabhasana (Locust Pose), building strength and stability in the back body. For those feeling flexible and strong, we explore Dhanurasana (Bow Pose) as a deeper backbend. The practice closes with gentle twists to release the spine and balance the effects of the backbends.
This class focuses on heart-opening asana that naturally stimulate the heart chakra and encourage self-love and emotional release.
The sequence blends expansive heart openers, strong breathwork, core engagement, and backbends to support healing in the heart and lungs. Together, these elements prepare us for our peak poses: Ustrasana (Camel Pose) and Supta Virasana (Reclined Hero Pose).
We’ll finish with a gentle counterpose, Gomukhasana (Cow Face Pose), to balance the body and integrate the energy of the practice.
Namaste.
This flow focuses on the solar plexus chakra, exploring side-body stretches and detoxifying twists to ignite inner strength and confidence.
Throughout the practice, expect a little core work and some playful arm balances, leading us into Crow Pose (Bakasana) as a foundation. From there, we’ll build toward our peak pose — Side Crow (Parsva Bakasana) — cultivating balance, focus, and personal power along the way.
Namaste.
This vinyasa flow focuses on building core strength, lengthening the hamstrings, and opening the shoulders, progressively preparing the body for Three-Point Headstand (Salamba Sirsasana II). The practice supports activation of the higher chakras, encouraging mental clarity, focus, and balance.
Working around the sacral chakra, we’ll focus on gently opening the hips — gradually building up to our peak poses: Fire Log Pose and Middle Splits.
Don’t let that put you off! As you’ll see, my own hips aren’t super open either. Fire Log Pose is a seated meditation posture — similar to a cross-legged seat, except the shins are stacked parallel to each other, creating a deep yet accessible hip opening.
After practicing on both sides, we’ll explore Middle Splits, with simple variations demonstrated along the way. Remember, we each work within the limits of our own bodies — just as I do.
Namaste.
This vinyasa flow gently builds heat and length in the hamstrings, guiding the body toward Hanumanasana (splits) with mindful opening and support. Along the way, we’ll connect to the root chakra, releasing fear and grounding into stability, so the practice not only expands physical flexibility but also nurtures a sense of balance, courage, and ease.
In this Vinyasa Flow practice, we focus on cultivating balance through a dynamic sequence that includes standing balances and inversion progressions, culminating in headstand variations. We begin by activating the third eye and crown chakras through intentional breathwork, fostering a sense of inner awareness and presence. From there, we prepare the body for inversions by engaging the core, opening the shoulders, and lengthening the hamstrings. This thoughtfully designed sequence is intended to promote mental clarity and a deepened connection between body and mind.
This class is intentionally designed to open the front body and neck, promoting both physical release and energetic expression. Through fluid transitions and breath-centered movement, the sequence cultivates space along the spine and throat. Students are guided through grounding postures that enhance spinal strength and mobility, progressively preparing the body for Locust Pose (Salabhasana)—a dynamic backbend that activates the throat chakra, reinforces the posterior chain, and supports confident, authentic self-expression.
In this heart-opening Vinyasa flow, we’ll energize the body and uplift the spirit through a series of gentle backbends and balancing postures designed to cultivate openness and grace. Starting with breath-led movements to awaken the spine and chest, we’ll build heat through flowing sequences that include lunges, crescent variations, and standing backbends. Balancing poses like Tree and Half Moon will challenge our focus and stability, gradually preparing the body for Natarajasana—Dancer Pose—where strength, flexibility, and vulnerability come together in a powerful expression of heart and balance.
