If you know exactly what type of yoga class you’re looking for, this is where you’ll find it. We have everything from arm balances to inversions and everything in between.
Deep Flow + Meditation
Working with the mantra "So-Ham", meaning "I am that", we build a deep standing flow to get out of the mind and into the body. The flow is followed by a brief meditation. SUGGESTED PROPS: 1 Block, 1 Strap
Safe, Strong & Sweaty
Come to this shorter sequence for a modified, yet strong sequence. This class is great for beginners or those who want a slower paced vinyasa flow.
HIPS, HAMSTRINGS + HALFMOON
Ardha Chandrasana, or balancing half-moon, is a fantastic pose to improve hip strength and mobility. It also helps stretch and strengthen the hamstrings all while you engage your core to create balance and extension in the spine. This class breaks down Ardha Chandrasana to make sure you are getting all the benefits this pose has to offer.
EXPLORING DIAGONALS
Your yoga mat is a rectangle. Your life is not! Join me in this class as we explore some diagonal stretches and subtle strengthening to help improve the ways we move in our everyday life. All poses are done on the back, seated and on the knees. A gentle way to start or end the day and free up tension in hidden areas.

This meditation technique will help calm your mind and prepare for a deep sleep. This meditation technique can calm your body and mind in moments of stress and anxiety. Enjoy.
HEALTHY HIPS IN A HURRY
Wondering if you have tight hips? Here's a simple test. Stand and look down at your feet. If your toes point outward rather than straight ahead, your hip muscles are probably overworked and need to be stretched. For people who sit a long time at work, the hip flexors and rotators become tight, and the gluteal muscles become weak. This combination negatively affects our ability to walk and maintain proper posture. This quick yoga hip sequence focuses on stretching the muscles around the whole circumference of the hip joint.
USING THE WALL TO INCREASE SHOULDER MOBILITY
In this video, Wendy G uses the wall to engage and rotate the shoulders. This is a great 20 minute break from sitting at a computer, holding a baby or after a long commute. Using the wall helps engage the muscles as they are stretched, thus improving mobility.
20 MINUTE SHOULDER OPENING YOGA SEQUENCE
Do you carry stress in your shoulders, causing back pain and poor posture? If so, this 20 minute yoga sequence will help open your shoulders, increase flexibility, and strengthen your upper body.
YOGA SEQUENCE FOR PEOPLE WHO SIT A LOT
Did you know the average American spends around 10 hours of their time sitting down every day? If you are one of those people whose work and lifestyle involve being confined to a chair all day or you regularly like to binge watch your favorite shows on netflix, you might want to check out this yoga sequence by Wendy G. It’s designed to reverse the long-term effects of sitting. Optional Props: Blocks
USING THE WALL TO IMPROVE YOUR PRACTICE
Whether you need some extra support during a challenging pose, or you want a prop to help you deepen a pose and open up during your practice, there’s one handy yoga prop that everyone has on hand, which often goes unnoticed…I’m talking of course about…the wall! A simple wall can be a yogi’s best friend, providing support, a balancing tool, or stretching assistance.
WARRIOR II ALIGNMENT
Warrior II is a vigorous and energizing pose for the legs, but many practitioners adopt too short a stance to take advantage of the pose’s inherent intensity. Despite its popularity, we often miss out on much of warrior II’s depth and potential. In this video, Wendy will walk you through the proper alignment of Warrior II to maximize it's benefits.
BUILDING STRENGTH FOR YOUR VINYASA
Misaligned vinyasa can lead to shoulder strain and rotator cuff injuries as well as neck pain and low back pain. It can also cause repetitive motion injuries, such as rotator cuff, shoulder and wrist injuries. This quick tip will help you engage, and properly recruit, all the muscles you need to correctly move through your vinyasa without causing injuries.
