Everyone & everything is getting under your skin, but deep down, you know violence isn’t the answer.
We all have those days – hormones or not – where anger takes over. 🌋
I feel you!
Although yoga won’t solve ALL your problems… It can help flush out heated emotions 🔥 And cultivate more compassion
How? By moving!
Here’s the (not so woo-woo) explanation:
Our emotional energy can be shifted by using our bodies to expend that heated, angry, irritated energy.
Simple, right? 💁♀️
Remember that feeling of wanting to slap someone silly? This is the EXACT energy I’m talking about…the anger builds up and our bodies want to express that with a slap-fest.
Of course, there’s a better way to express anger… and one way is doing a vinyasa class that forces you to:
Challenge your balance 🤸♀️ Physically heat you up 🔥 Refocus your thoughts on what you CAN control Encourage lots of exhaling 😮💨
In this practice, there’s a lot of heart opening which helps get rid of some of the irritation that opens us up for more compassion.
Remember; it’s okay that you get irritated and frustrated and angry in life. It’s also okay to surrender to that and allow it to flow through you so that you can make space for new energy.
And that’s what we’re trying to do in this vinyasa yoga flow.
Ready to transform that slap-happy energy into zen?
Join me on the mat! 💖
P.S. I do this without going upside down – but you do you!
Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful practice we call yoga with me.
Happy yoga-ing!

Want to turn your creaky joints into a well-oiled machine?
Because the symphony of snaps, crackles, and pops when you move is getting old?
✨ Same here! ✨
That’s why I created Yoga to Release Stiffness.
I was tired of sounding like a bowl of Rice Krispies every time I moved… because sitting too long causes a traffic jam in the joints.
To release all that stiffness, we’ll use repetition to create more mobility and flexibility in the body so you can kiss those crackles goodbye.
We #BendSoYouDontBreak.
Repetition is a game-changer when it comes to improving mobility.
Here’s why:
✨It gradually warms up your joints and muscles, ✨It helps you notice subtle changes, ✨It helps coordinate your breath more seamlessly, ✨And it deepens your movements.
By focusing on the transformative power of repetition, you’ll uncover the hidden potential in familiar poses and sequences.
The more you know…🌠 (cue the NBC PSA commercial)
Remember, every time you come back to this video, you’ll uncover new nuances in your practice.
Keep moving, keep breathing, and keep discovering.
See you on the mat 💖

One more thing:
If you’ve noticed, the location in this week’s video is, again, WAY different than the tropical backgrounds I usually film in.
This past winter, I was in New Jersey spending time with family but didn’t want to stop producing videos…
The space I could find in a pinch was in the basement.
The lighting isn’t ideal; but you can see me clearly. The walls aren’t beautiful; but you can find beauty in the flow.
I did what I could with what I had.
A space, my mat, my blocks, and my socks. (It was cold, ya’ll!)
And honestly, that’s all we really need to have a fulfilling yoga practice. 💜
Enjoy the flow despite the not-so-beautifully designed background (but thanks AI for a pretty lamp & plant)
Try to focus on you and your breath as we move through this wonderfully calming flow that helps create a sense of stability and oneness with yourself.
