Enjoy this slower paced detox yoga practice for both body and mind. This practice will focus on the physical body and the energy centers to refresh ourselves and to release stagnant energy.
✨ All levels welcome. ✨ I’ll be doing this inversion free but you do you. ✨ Grab props for an inversion free practice: blocks, bolster, pillows, blankets, and a wall or a chair.
A slower practice awards us the time to let the body and energy release any tension or stagnant energy. By slowing down a little, we can really pay attention to not only the physical alignment but to our mental, emotional, and energetic state.
I invite you to take notice of any thoughts or feelings that come up without judgement. When one comes up, determine if it’s true and if it supports you positively. If the answer is no, allow it to release; release through your exhale, your sweat, or you can imagine tossing it out with your movement.
Stagnant energy sometimes reveals itself as emotions either during the practice or afterwards. If you notice a change in your emotional state, it’s okay, allow yourself to experience it. This is just the stagnant energy releasing to create space for new energy to come in.
Enjoy! Be well.
Remember to breathe.

Have you ever just felt like if you could have a quick ‘something’ to get you going, you’d be able to do x, y, or z?
Yeah. Me too.
This is where this gem of a flow came from. It’s a little bit like a shot of espresso or a cup of tea. The first sips are warming, familiar, and soft but a bit bitter. Once you’re mid-cup the bitterness isn’t so bitter anymore and you start to feel the zing of that sweet blast of excitement ‘cause you know the energy is coming. Finally, once you’ve had the last sip – in our case Savasana – the energy balances out for that feel-good buzz.
Buh-bye sluggish energy, Hello new found energy!
Enter my new Energy Pick Me Up Yoga flow that happens to be Inversion Free. In this energy boost, you can forget about the crash that happens after the caffeine wears off. At 15 min, it’s easy to slip into your day whenever you need a pick me up!
For those of you who can’t live without your coffee or tea…I get it. I have a cup of hot green tea every morning and if I miss it…ugh…the sluggishness and lack of focus is amazing. So have your favorite cup of caffeinated beverage and add this to it…see what happens.
E.N.E.R.G.Y!!! Wooooo! Note to self: Maybe I need to cut back a little. ????????
The Details:
All poses will be held for 3 or fewer breaths to make sure to keep the energy moving. I’ll be performing this practice Inversion Free but you do you. To stay within 15 min, the Savasana is 1 minute. If you’d like to Savasana longer—Do It!!
???? No props needed. Only for Savasana if Inversion Free (or if you want to use ‘em) ???? Good for experienced practitioners. ✨ Inversion Free means no downward facing dog, no head stand, no poses where the head goes below the heart. Great for those with glaucoma, cardiac issues, vertigo, acid reflux, or if you just don’t like going upside down.
An affirmation to help this energy boost:
My body and my mind are energized and ready to take action.
Repeat it ’til you believe it.
This flow was a fun one to do; it certainly lifted my energy. Hope you got a boost after this practice too!
Enjoy! Be well.
Remember to breathe.

By special request, a Hands Free & Wrist Free Yoga flow. No props are needed unless you are inversion free. There’s no wrist bending and the hands are not used.
Cheers to happy hands & wrists! ????
This flow has planks, balances, twists, stretches, core work, standing poses, shoulder openers, and hip openers…all hand free and wrist free! A feel-good flow in 30 minutes.
???? No props unless you want ‘em. ???? All levels welcome
If you are Inversion Free, please make sure you have props handy to ensure your head stays higher than your heart.
As always, this flow has some creative ways to be hand free and wrist free. In fact, I found this quote which will now live on my vision board because it is right on the money.
“Life is a continuous exercise in creative problem solving.”
~ Michael J. Gelb
Maybe you feel the same way? If I have a lack of enjoyable problem solving, like making these fun vinyasa flows, I find I get bored, sad, and a little depressed. Although, I’ll admit, the problem solving I don’t like so much adds up too — it keeps life interesting even if it’s not my favorite problem to solve.
Happy yoga-ing! Hope you enjoy this creative vinyasa flow.
Enjoy! Be well.
Remember to breathe.

This 25 Minute Full Body Yoga Flow works into a fun, full body standing sequence. Back and arm work lead into a gentle forward fold and calming twists. Inversion Free options are provided; remember to keep the head higher than the heart!
???? Blocks are helpful for balances and if you’re Inversion Free
???? Experienced Level
✨ Inversion Free means no downward facing dog, no head stand, no poses where the head goes below the heart. Great for those glaucoma, cardiac issues, vertigo, acid reflux, or if you just don't like going upside down.
This Uplifting Vinyasa Flow works the body to emotionally lift you up. The simple movement of lifting upward helps bring energy and life into your psyche. Heart opening is the main focus.
After doing this practice, I felt lighter and my energy was elevated. Make sure to do a full Savasana, and if you want to stay longer than the video — do it! You won’t be sorry.
In case you didn’t know, Savasana allows the nervous system, the body, and the mind to properly settle down and recuperate. If you skip it, you may feel jittery or, the opposite, sleepy afterward and will miss out on that ‘Zen’ feeling. I know this sounds kooky that both extremes are possible but I have experienced both on separate occasions without time in Savasana.
