Do you start off strong & motivated to work out every day?
But a few days in, the snooze button gets hit more often, and you start saying, “I’ll do it later?”
Yeah… me too. ????♀️
This past winter, I challenged myself to do something on my mat every day.
Some days were powerful, strong, and flowy—a little sweaty even. Other days, all I could manage were a few minutes.
And you know what?
That’s okay.
The truth is, it’s not about how intense your practice is; it’s about showing up for yourself.
That’s what really matters.
This practice was born from that personal challenge. It was one of those days when I just wanted to stay in my comfy non-yoga clothes—trusty jeans, fun socks, and a cozy sweater.
To avoid getting achy from too much stillness (hello, sitting too much!), I focused on gentle movements that strengthen and stretch for balance.
And so, Gentle Yoga for Strength and Flexibility was born.
I hope you enjoy this 8-minute treat for your muscles, mind, and well-being.
Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful practice with me.
Happy yoga-ing!

Maybe you were too physically active yesterday and woke up stiff & sore…
Maybe you wake up like that everyday??
Guess what?
You are DEFINITELY in good company.
I fully admit that these days, this happens more often than not. No matter what I do.
???? If I had a day full of movement = stiff the next morning ???? If I had a day of full rest = stiff in the morning ???? If I had a balanced day of activity vs rest = stiff in the morning.
Does this happen to you too? ????♀️
My motto is to move to feel better…
Sometimes you want an active, kick your butt, kind of practice. Sometimes you want a gentle practice to ease into your body to slowly dissolve the stiffness & soreness.
Gentle Yoga for Hips & Shoulders is the perfect practice for that second option.
Join me on the mat as we ease discomfort by opening tight hips & shoulders with gentle stretches and muscle activation so that we can improve comfort and mobility.
PLUS – Anyone can do it because it’s appropriate for all levels.
Inspiration often comes from our own experiences and this class is no exception.
On a winter day, I woke up cold, stiff, and really wanted to feel better with minimal effort. Thus, Gentle Yoga for Hips & Shoulders No Standing Poses was born.
This also explains my attire…
When it’s cold, pulling on yoga pants is not as appealing as sweatpants, a comfy sweater, and warm socks… …proving you can practice in whatever clothes you want…you don’t have to put on the yoga gear if you’re not feeling it.
If you look closely…you may see a famous Disney character on my feet. ????
Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful practice with me.
Happy yoga-ing!
