How to do Wild Thing Pose

July 9, 2015

PSA: Don't forget! YBC weekend yoga retreats are happening this month and next in NYC and Utah. I'd love to have you join us! We also have an opportunity to do a little YBC tour through Australia. If you're interested in a retreat or workshop, let us know. And lastly, the fall YBC Mantra Box, a healthy living subscription box, is available for pre-sale. Snag yours now while supplies last!

There are certain poses in the practice that just make me feel so happy and wild thing is one of them. It just feels so good in my body when I practice this pose. I love the fact that it incorporates a heart opening backbend with expansion from the fingers to the toes. It's for sure a current favorite of mine. But it hasn't always been.

Yoga Warm up for Upper Body Gym Workout

July 8, 2015

PSA: Pre-order your YBC Mantra Box today before they're all sold out and discover new favorite brands in the health and wellness industries. And don't forget, we have the NYC weekend yoga retreat and Utah weekend yoga retreat coming up!

Recently I've been getting some requests for pre-workout yoga warm-ups and cool downs so today I'm sharing some yoga poses you can do to open up the upper body for a good chest day at the gym. Breathe 5 - 7 breaths for all of the poses above before taking it to the other side if applicable.

Acro Yoga Series - Part 5

June 30, 2015

PSA: Our summer yoga retreats are filling up! We'd love to have you join in either Utah or NYC!

If you've been following along to the acro yoga series, you'll be happy to know we are back with part five. In this tutorial we cover straddle bat, which is where the flyer is upside down, perched on the base's feet. It's not as hard as it looks, although we had some laughs getting out of it. You sort of feel like an acrobat or something doing an assisted back flip out of it! Haha.

15 Minute Hip Opening Yoga Practice with a Bench

June 25, 2015

Good morning! We are off to Upstate New York today for day one of the #YBCnewyork retreat. I'm pretty excited about it and can't wait to share photos on instagram.

Today I'm sharing a 15 minute hip opening yoga practice featuring a bench. The bench is optional - you could just use a set of blocks or a similar bench if you have one. The props totally make things easier, though, and are great if you're someone with limited flexibility or kind of new on the ol' yoga path.
