Solar ~ Uplifting
  • Go With The Flow

    This efficient practice is a progressive flow, incrementally building from simple to complex.

    The standing pose progression winds down to a little hip-opener, heart-opener sequence before dropping into rest.

    It’s a perfect practice for when you’re short on time but want to move mindfully and br...

  • Uplift

    What the body does, the mind follows and what the mind does, the body follows.

    This truth means one way to hack your mood is to move your body in the ways that are more in alignment with how you want to feel.

    Uplift is a practice to elevate your spirits with side openers and heart openers with ...

  • Back To Earth

    This is a practice created in celebration of Earth Day but is great for any day that you want to activate grounding energy.

    This heart centered practice includes side and heart openers and some grounded backbends to get you back on track.

  • Steady & Strong

    Did you know bison walk INTO a storm, unlike other animals like cattle? They instinctively know the fastest way out of a storm is to go directly through it rather than to drift with the winds of the storm.

    Walking into challenges, both those we choose and those we don’t, requires steadiness and ...

  • Purify

    To purify is to ceremonially cleanse and in this practice we engage our entire body-mind-spirit conscious complex to extract that which contaminates us and clouds our true nature.

    Through twists, flow, core work and rest we’ll support the moving through of that which only weighs us down and emer...

  • Glow Up

    I’ve always believed in the power of using your body to support a desired positive mindset. Its power is one of the reasons movement is recommended to combat feelings of stuckness, emotional heaviness or depression.

    Glow Up is just that, a practice of embodying brightness, lightness and luminos...

  • Lit From Within

    This practice reminds us of what Ayurveda calls TEJAS or the expression of solar energy in our body-mind-spirit complex.

  • Got Your Back

    Fun fact: The muscles of your BACK body propel you forward. So physically, it makes sense to keep your posterior chain of muscles as strong as they are flexible.

    Metaphorically speaking, what is BEHIND you can propel you forward in life when you draw strength from the wisdom you earned from your...
