Yoga allows me to express myself with an open heart and open mind. Growing up in Kansas, I was always very active. My sense of adventure led me to try various forms of exercise including Yoga. After my first class, I immediately embraced the art of movement and breath that Yoga has to offer. My classes are playful as well as challenging and suitable for all levels. I am so excited to be a part of this amazing Black Swan community. I have the deepest gratitude for each and every one of you for checking out my classes! Namaste.

Grab a chair or something to safely put your feet on and let’s do the damn thing! This drill will help you feel the pike motion for pressing or “piking” up into handstand.

I titled this airy fairy flow because it is very flowy! We do all kinds of fun “flipping” around and so the movements feel very whimsical and free flowing.

I filmed this 60 minute practice at one of my most favorite places in the world, Beaver Lake. Growing up I would visit every summer, so it holds a lot of very fond childhood memories.

Our peak posture is Chin Stand so we will be doing a lot of backbends and shoulder openers. ...
