The Top 5 Benefits of Yoga Sculpt
Ask any legging-clad woman about her fitness routine, and it usually revolves around spinning, running, or anything cardio-based. Convinced that they burn more calories, and therefore can eat more salted caramel gelato, they ignore the weights. Yes, the immediate calorie burn from cardio might be higher, but if you’re not doing any strength training, you’re […]

Create your ultimate yoga class plan
I absolutely love creating new sequences and playlists, and researching dharma topics and new alignment instructions – but when I first started out I had no idea how to do it on my own. It takes a ton of time and dedication to truly offer your students an experience instead of the same old yoga […]

There is something so energizing about practicing yoga surrounded by others, in a class at your favorite studio, […]
Do This Instead of Making a New Year’s Resolution
Ditch the New Year’s Resolutions and create an intention instead.

10 MINUTE LOWER BODY YOGA SCULPT WORKOUT
I’d never use the #thighgap hashtag when talking about a workout, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t work on keepin’ everything below my waist tight. But I, like I’m assuming you, don’t have all day to spend at the gym using all the fancy machines that each specifically focus on one area […]
XenSculpt ( That yoga butt video)
Oh, the infamous yoga butt. It’s what every magazine boils the practice down to. Even though there’s so much more to it. But when most people are asked what they want out of practicing yoga, that’s actually what they say they’re after. Who am I to judge. If you follow me, you know that meditation is my […]
YEP, YOGA SAVED ME TOO
People talk about how “yoga saved their life” all the time, and although it can sound grossly cliche, I’m happy to be one of them. I started practicing after my mother committed suicide. I was 21. I was also angry, scared, frustrated, lonely and felt tremendous guilt on a daily basis. All feelings I had […]

Ok, so there’s a little debate on what Flying Warrior pose actually is, but the one I’m teaching you is the version I was taught – so I’m sticking with it. : ) The key here?
