Big class, sweet energy. Great sequence with lots of (totally optional) opportunities to invert.
Lots of shoulder opening and hamstring length. Sweet energy tonight.
This one really moved with a great rhythm and pace.
Gia-Raquel Rose, owner of Airs Above Yoga, LLC and a real estate sales associate in Tewksbury, New Jersey has had a love for horses stemming from early childhood. Growing up in “horse country” afforded her the privilege of beginning to ride from the tender age of four. It was a childhood illness, which brought her riding aspirations to an abrupt halt. It took twenty years before she was able to reunite with her long lost passion for horses and their ability to heal. In that time, she received a Bachelor of Arts in Corporate Communication from Arcadia University and became a twice two hundred hour certified yoga instructor in both Hatha and Vinyasa. It was the loss of her mother, Rose, to breast cancer, which ultimately shifted her trajectory from the corporate world to the internal work for which yoga, as a practice, is renowned.
Simple, strong flow and backbends make this one a great way to start (or restart) the day.
Feeling scattered? Or stuck? Try some front-body opening. This practice uses gentle backbends, deep lunges, and three variations on pigeon pose to release tension and open up tight spots.
A moderate evening flow. Lunging and folding up front, deep into the hips down the back end.
A moderate, uncomplicated one on a rainy day.

This was a strong on with a fun group. Lots of core but not a bunch of sit ups. You don't have to do it all.

— Yoga nidra, which is derived from the tantras, is a powerful technique in which you learn to relax consciously. In yoga nidra, sleep is not regarded as relaxation. People feel that they are relaxing when they collapse in an easy chair with a cup of coffee, a drink or a cigarette, and read a newspaper or switch on the television. But this will never suffice as a scientific definition of relaxation. These are only sensory diversions. T rue relaxation is actually an experience far beyond all this. For absolute relaxation you must remain aware. This is yoga nidra, the state of dynamic sleep. Yoga nidra is a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. The term yoga nidra is derived from two Sanskrit words, yoga meaning union or one-pointed awareness, and nidra which means sleep. During the practice of yoga nidra, one appears to be asleep, but the consciousness is functioning at a deeper level of awareness. For this reason, yoga nidra is often referred to as psychic sleep or deep relaxation with inner awareness. In this threshold state between sleep and wake fulness, contact with the subconscious and unconscious dimensions occurs spontaneously. In yoga nidra, the state of relaxation is reached by turning inwards, away from outer experiences. If the consciousness can be separated from external awareness and from sleep, it becomes very powerful and can be applied in many ways, for example, to develop the memory, increase knowledge and creativity, or transform one's nature. Valeria interviews Ruthie Ayzenberg — LMFT, LPCC, PMH-C, RYT-500, she is a compassionate psychotherapist with over a decade of experience, specializing in anxiety, depression and maternal mental health.

When Ruthie was introduced to Yoga Nidra during her very first yoga teacher training, her life changed beyond what she could have imagined. What began as a personal journey soon evolved into a passion for sharing this gently transformative practice with others by crafting culturally-sensitive journeys steeped in reverence for both the Yogic lineage and Jewish tradition, while remaining inclusive to people of all cultures. Every episode is created from the heart with mindfulness and love. In her private practice, Mental Fitness Therapy, Ruthie offers personalized holistic healing using a handful of modalities, Yoga Nidra guidance, and group sessions, helping clients manage stress, reconnect with their inner selves, and heal from within.

A moderate entrance to the new year. A great one to get the wheels turning again. I really liked this sequence, students were very complimentary after class.
A chill, releasing one, great for these last few days of Romjul.
There's a little bit of everything in this one, y'all...it all centers around deep, focusing breath and finding your own rhythm. Great for a well-rounded yoga practice anytime, but especially on hectic days or during stressful times.
A short and sweet fun one from Halloween afternoon; great vibes to balance these last few hectic days before Christmas.
A really great well-rounded flow floating on sweet Saturday morning energy.

A chill one in the wake of the election. Lots of release — folds, hips, and heart opening. Apologies for the late update following the long weekend. We'll keep this one up a little longer than usual.
This was a strong class on focused energy. Lots of balance and hip stability.
Chill vibes, moderate flow. A lot of students coming off weird days today. They showed up anyway, that's a win.
