Most often in life we are moving forwards in the sagittal plane of movement. It's very important to train lateral movements so that we can move in all directions with strength & stability. In the sequence we build a lot of outer hip mobility & side body strength. Practice winds down with some straddle stretches & releasing side bends.

This class is apart of a zodiacal series to attune the physical and subtle body to the energetics of the Moon in Aquarius. It works to shift perspective and conventional associations. This is redirecting the mind to think out of the box, create new patterns, and is the energy of innovation. Postures will work through twists, and along the IT band. These forces liberate old ways of thinking and moving through the world, and open the self into new horizons and greater acceptance.

It can be practiced when the moon is in Aquarius, each month, or if your birth moon is in Aquarius, or if you'd like to accentuate the physical and mental qualities.

Try this short class whenever you want to pause, breathe deeply, feel, and invite more calm into your day. You'll practice gentle floor poses such as Cat/Cow Breathing, Seated Forward Bends (Janu Sirsasana), Legs Up the Wall (Viparita Karani), and more, to help you turn inward and recenter yourself. Enjoy!

This class centers on grounding and strengthening the lower body. Expect gentle flows and static poses that target the legs, hips, and lower back. Embrace the feeling of stability and rootedness as you connect with the earth beneath you. The classes in Elise's Sweet & Simple series provide an adaptable experience and are designed for mixing and matching with each other.

Are you in need of some peace and quiet? If so, this yin yoga class will give you time and space for quietude and rest. You will be guided into each yin posture with options to use props to find what feels good in your body, then given several minutes of complete silence as you hold. Take this time to slow down, nurture yourself, and tune inward so that you can feel balanced and refreshed.

There is no music in this class so that you can have a truly silent experience. If you prefer music to help you relax, you can use your own playlist or play Jackie’s Spotify Playlist.

As humans, we can be very forward thinking. We can spread ourselves way to thin. If you think about dogs, a well-behaved dog doesn't live out on the edge of its leash always pulling toward the next thing. A disciplined dog knows how to heel. Since we aren't dogs, by no means is this practice meant to treat you like one - however through the playful exploration of many of the dog poses AND anchoring ourselves here and now, we will work on the discipline it takes to heel. And through this heeling, we might activate your own healing. This vinyasa class is well-rounded, but with a slight emphasis on hamstring opening.
