I think most of us would love to get away from the craziness of our world right now... so, I decided to teach a whole class about being on your own island We had sand, sun, surfboards, no worries, fun, and happiness! #createyourownhappiness #powerofvisualization

Shoulders!! We all have 'em, but most of us don't use them fully - we tend to do the same movements over & over again, yet the shoulders have wide ranges of motion. Overhead range of motion (reaching overhead) is not often used, so when we go to lift something off a high shelf, we can risk injury. I'm a full believer in moving through all ranges of motion (of course, working within your own body's limitations), so that when we have to lift something, the shoulders know what t...o do Oh, and.... this is also AMAZING prep work to work your way up to safely performing handstand ;)

Everyone in my class on Friday was feeling a little tired, so we just did a simple, slower flow, focused on gradually building energy We started off by slowly waking up the body, creating a bit of heat, then worked our way up to standing postures. In class the night before, we worked on inversions, by request, so this was a nice compliment to that (PS- did you know? Inversion work can be done WITHOUT going upside down! It's true! There is so much involved in an inversion, so it's important to do the prep work first, and then go there ONLY when you have built the strength & activations to get there safely)

I teach a lot of flow, so it's always fun when I get to teach a Hatha class :) The students who attended this class, both in class & online, wanted to work on feet, spine & pelvis, so that's what we did (with a full-body focus, of course) . The theme for this class was finding space between the world around us and our responses to that world, both on & off the mat (based Pratyahara, one of the Namas & Niyamas) ... . . . #yegyogateacher #yegyoga #mobility #namasandniyamas #yogaphilosophy #moveyourbody #experiencelife #yogateacher #yogabody #yogalifestyle #yogainstructor #hathayoga See more

So many little friends are in this video- I looove the end This is a run-through of a short sequence I submitted to @yogadetour for an assignment on how to buildup to an arm balance (I chose crow pose), taking all components of the pose into consideration. This was an AWESOME assignment - it really got me thinking of what and how I'm teaching! . .... #yegyogateacher #yegyoga #mobility #yogateacher #yogalifestyle #yogainstructor#yogafitness #functionalmobilitytraining #movewithintention #yoga #crowpose #learning #intention #alltheanimals See more
