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.

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.

✨ 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.

It’s been a while since we’ve been together on the mat with a new video. As you may have seen in some of my social media posts, I’ve been working on an online yoga project and in order to make it the very best for you, all my attention and energy has been going into that. The project isn’t ready yet but I miss sharing these videos with you. Happy Yoga-ing!
This go-to yoga flow for low back pain focuses on both stretching and strengthening for a happier low back. Perfect for when you wake up with an unhappy low back or had a long day that ended with low back discomfort.
