60 Minute Vinyasa Flow and Low Back & Hamstring Stretch

June 23, 2015

PSA- Our summer retreats in New York and Utah are filling up - come join!

Hey, friends. Today I'm comin' atcha to drop a 60 minute full yoga practice that starts off as a vinyasa flow and then slows it down for some deep low back and hamstring work. It's kind of the best of both worlds which is why I love it and I hope you will, too.

PSA - Our NYC retreat is filling up! Get on it if you wanna join in!

Hey friends! How's the week going for you? It's sort of dragging for me - I've been feeling kind of under the weather ever since I got back from Morocco. I can feel that my body is trying to fight something off - I've been feeling really run down, and have low level inflammation throughout my body. Blah! I've been trying to take care of myself better (getting more sleep, eating more and more frequently, etc) and hopefully I'll feel better soon. :(

Anyway, I hope you're doing way better than I am. And if you're not, maybe this little yoga sequence will make your body feel amazing.

Hey, friends! Today I'm chiming in with a unique yoga sequence using a stability ball. In this twenty minute sequence, we'll be working on core strength, opening up the chest, and increasing flexibility in the legs as well.

15 Minute All Level Yoga with Blocks

If you're following along the YBC behind-the-scenes instagram account, you know that our studio got a recent upgrade in the lighting department. This month we're focusing on making some major changes to the YBC YouTube channel, so the lighting was the first obvious step. Well, actually our microphone was the first step, and then lighting came. We're still waiting on a little more lighting, and then we'll be working to make the channel more user-friendly, so I appreciate your patience as we work through it all.

10 Minute Headstand Practice Yoga Video

June 5, 2015

This yoga sequence is for all my headstanders out there who are trying to up their inversion game. I wouldn't suggest it for total beginners, but anyone who is working on their headstand should be good to go with this. If you're at the beginning stages of learning headstand, practice up against a wall. Just be sure you know the basics of supported headstand (video here) and tripod headstand (video here) first.

How to use blocks for tripod headstand

May 29, 2015

Hello from Marrakech! I'm writing to you from the kitchen table, where I'm awaiting the arrival of our first yoga students for the weekend. It's going to be such a nice time, and I can't wait for them to arrive!

Pin now, practice later - how to use blocks for tripod headstand

Today, I'm sharing a short video from the YBC YouTube channel I made that explains how to use yoga blocks for tripod headstand. The video was made as part of my partnership with Kohl's #makeyourmove campaign, where I'm focusing on ways to improve my personal yoga practice, among other goals. My tripod headstand isn't that great yet. It's a huge effort for me to press into the hands and engage that space on the side of my body right near the armpit. If you're a guy, this version of headstand might be easier for you since men usually have a good amount of upper body strength to begin with (sorry, I know that's a generalization, but for the most part it's true). Anyway, give this a try if you're working on headband and see how it goes for you.
