Upcoming Virtual Classes

[tribe_events_list]

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I was off of social media (and have been for a couple of days). I spent the week up to my usual schedule: teaching classes, working in the office and generally running myself ragged 🤷‍♀️. As I embark on my 53rd trip around the sun, my goal is to simplify a little bit.

Looking forward to a very rare weekend with no commitments and lots of family time ❤️❤️

Yoga is better with friends ❤️ #yogawithpets #friends #love ...

Days 5 and 6 of #aloboutashtanga2 are jump throughs and jump backs. Filming this was such a wake up call. About a year and a half ago I injured my shoulder and stopped doing either of these completely. My shoulder took forever to heal, but it finally did and I’m not in pain anymore. I guess it’s time to get these back 🫣 ...

And I’m behind again 🫣 Day 4 of #aloboutashtanga2 is transition from #virabhadrasana2 I love this transition. Seriously my favorite.

Caught up! (for now) 😬🤷‍♀️

Day 3 of #AloboutAshtanga2 is transition from utkatasana

So tempting (and easier) to take it all the way up into handstand. Truthfully, I should be lower than this, closer to lolasana... but, hey, it’s a practice, right? 🫣

Already a day behind! I’ll catch up. Day 2 #AloboutAshtanga2 : Transition from Chaturanga to Urdhva Mukha

Full disclosure, I don’t usually roll over both of my toes at the same time, even though that is the transition. I usually flip over one at a time because my left foot has some problems.🫣 just keeping it real!

I don’t remember quite when peacock happened for me. I remember struggling with it for years and not understanding how I was supposed to get these long legs up off of the ground, straight and together. Then all of a sudden, it was no problem at all. I guess, all of the practice, yoga and strength training, just worked their magic.

Here we go. Day 4 of #alohandstandlovers is Straddle to L shape. ❤️❤️❤️

#handstand #yogateacher #handstand365

I once heard that if you can’t move your legs around in handstand, you don’t have balance, you have physics. I think this drill going back-and-forth from diamond to straddle and back again just shows that legs are ornamental once your hips are over your shoulders. Day 3 of #AloHandstandLovers is diamond to straddle.

Local peeps: Wanna join me in-person for Flight School? Only a few spots available.

When: Feb 4&5 1-3pm
Where @elev8_hotyoga
(You don’t have to be a member)
Price: $45/day (you don’t have to do both, but there each day is a different workshop)

Register on the mindbody app. Look up Elev8 Hot Yoga in Federal Way. It’ll be under classes. Right on the schedule.

#babyfirefly #titibhasana

doing the” baby” version (on your forearms) of any arm balance, both increases the difficulty of it, as well as keeps you honest in the engagement. When you’re so low to the ground, you have no choice but to completely fire up those core muscles to keep you up. I love this one. But be warned, length in your hamstrings is an absolute must to get off the ground.
