It's great to have you here!
Please feel free to pay what you can. All three libraries include the same content, but you can "pay what you want" by choosing the Base Rate ($10/month), Supporter Rate ($20/month), or Patron Rate ($30/month). Paying more if you're able helps support others in the community.
There's a wide variety of classes here. My style and offerings have changed over time (along with my hairstyles), but I've kept the older stuff available just for fun.
Mindful Vinyasa: Awareness, strength, and mobility in a vinyasa format. The pace allows for integration of body awareness, and real options for challenges are included at every level-- instead of "just take child's pose," you'll learn how to work with your body in variations that are right for you.
Slow Flow: A little more chill & accessible than Mindful Vinyasa. Incorporates functional and flow movement and minimizes complex transitions. Explore your own optimal alignment as you improve strength and mobility.
Chair/Gentle: Chair yoga classes incorporate strength, mobility and mindfulness techniques, using the support of a chair and other props. Gentle yoga classes have less movement than Slow Flow, but more movement than YinRestorative.
Yin/Restorative: Much less active, these use the support of bolsters, blocks, blankets and straps.
Functional Movement and Mindful Strength incorporate Postural Restoration and Functional Range System mobility techniques, and other human movement skills. These can can be used on their own or to enhance your yoga or other movement practice. Some classes require equipment (such as a dumbbell, kettlebell, or mace), but many can be done with minimal or no equipment/props.
Meditation, Somatic, and Breathing practices include a variety of practices for you to explore.
Gada Flow: The gada, or steel mace is a traditional training tool from India. Its unique offset weight engages the stabilizing muscles around the joints, increasing overall stability, core and rotational strength. This design makes it the perfect partner to yoga mat practice. Gada Flow is a dynamic practice that combines the best of mindful yoga movement with functional strength and fitness. Options are provided for challenges at every level.
