Burn away the mental fog, refresh your body, clear away tension and nourish your sense of inner peace.
We support AND uplift each other when we practice together!
Nourish your adaptability, clarity, and joy.
INTELLIGENT SEQUENCING:
Each class sequence is unique, well balanced, adaptive, and educational.
Classes rotate focus each week, through a cycle of 5 main sthitis, or types of asanas:
- Standing poses
- Forward bends and twists
- Shoulders, arms, core strength
- Backbends
- Restorative, inversions, breath
PROPS
Yoga props allow you to experience new depths of access, alignment, safety, and progressive challenge!
Useful to have:
- a yoga mat
- a wall (or door)
- a chair (folding chair is ideal, but any sturdy chair will do)
- a belt (or scarf)
- 2 blocks
- a few blankets (or large towels or throw pillows)
- a bolster (or couch cushions or stack of firm blankets)
If you don’t have props, you can adapt: make it work with what you have, use common household items, or do without props.
LOGISTICS:
When you sign up for class, you’ll see an instant zoom link to join the session. Perfect for last minute sign ups!
You’ll also get a follow up email, and a reminder email 45 minutes before class. Click to add classes to your calendar.
You can choose to leave your camera on or off.
It’s helpful for me to see your poses, so I can offer corrections and instructions specific to you, but the most important thing is that you can relax, drop in, and feel what’s happening inside your body.
Questions during class are welcome!
Modifications are given as needed. The chat is open for check ins and requests throughout.
All offered is optional; adapt as needed!
EARLY/ LATE:
If you need to arrive late or leave early, no problem, though attending the whole class is most beneficial. If you come late, please mute yourself upon entry. If you need to leave early, don’t skip savasana!
REPLAYS:
Replays for any zoom class you sign up for are included for one week. Click and play in the On Demand Library.
EQUITY PRICING:
Sliding scale allows you to pick your payment amount in the spirit of equity, accessibility, generosity, and redistribution, while simultaneously inviting your conscious investment in a yoga + wellness culture that pays committed teachers a living wage, and supports this small queer business to operate sustainably.
If you can pay more, you’ll help cover the cost for someone else who needs to pay less. The main thing is, come to yoga!
Type in your price at check out.
Suggested guidelines:
$5 – 15 River
For low income folks, especially BIPOC, queer trans folks, those with chronic conditions, and/or single parents.
$15- 20 Lake
Actual price to cover you.
$21- 30 or more Ocean
Supportive rate covers you, and someone else in need, in the spirit of resource redistribution, reparations, and community care.
$5 may still be cost prohibitive, especially for those living outside the US, because of disparities in global economies due to colonization. If you are in this situation, email me via the contact form on my website, and let’s work it out so you can come for free, or at a rate you can easily afford.
Grateful for you!
See you there, friends!
