Advanced level class.

Absolutely loved how this felt in my body. Thank you!

I was craving this one. It was everything I needed this afternoon. Thank you!

Such a good way to wake up! Thanks Kayla🩵

Wild Thing Flow

One of my favs. Been doing camel for almost 20 years and this is the deepest & most comfortable I’ve ever gotten in it!

Rosalyn

Oh Kayla! You are just such a gem and this was so so lovely.

Camel Flow

I loved this sequence so much Kayla’s transitions are creative and fun! Movement and poses prior to peak pose fully prepared for floor bow!

Emmy

Could be a little slower but other than that great class

Angelique

Floor Bow Flow

One of my favorite flows, just challenging enough to make me keep going and giving it my all while still practicing. I don’t have flipped grip very accessible on my left arm but it felt good to keep trying what I could do knowing I can come back to this and try again.

Meredith

What a bliss this class is, brought me to a meditation completely naturally at the end ❤️

King Dancer Flow

Such a fun flow, I found the peak pose quite hard and scary to do at first but I got a little more bold with practice. Thank you! ☀️

Caitlin

It was an awesome dynamic movements full body flow! I didn’t get to do the full expression of kapotasana but I enjoyed the journey and the feeling how my body moved into it❤️

Jazz

I can always use a good opening along my front side. I usually stray away but have learned to lean into what makes me feel uncomfortable. My spine is not quite there yet but it  still feels good to try. Thank you!

Kapotasana Flow

Katie

Not sure why these videos keep freezing on me but aside from that the mix hit so good. I feel incredible. Thank you!

Precisely what my body needed to wake up. My left knee is feeling a bit tender today but I was still able to get into skandasana, figure 4 puppy and all other figure 4 variations without uncomfortable sensations. As of late last year/this new year it feels like I’ve finally risen above and over came some serious trauma from all the surgeries. This is huge for me. Thanks for the continued inspiration and guidance to move in a loving way for my body. I appreciate the frigg outa you. 🙏🏻🔮✨

King Pigeon Flow

What a great mix. Especially good since I’m working through some shit that has me wanting to close myself off and retreat. The struggle is real. I’m aware of my habits and trying to remain open though. Thank you! 💜

In my opinion, this is the best yoga class on the Internet. ❤️

Caroline

This flow takes the mind off everything. Thank you so much ❤️

Amazing full body flow that goes through twist, hear opening, hamstring stretch, inversion, balance pose, core, pretty much everything! And only 15min! 🤩👍🏽

Nyssa

I Don’t Have Time For Yoga pt. 3

I really love this one. I’ve practised it first thing in the morning and before bed and it’s equally lovely at those times 🫶🏻

Gemma

Amazing way to start my morning. I feel like new. Thank you🙏🏻

Gentle Yoga For Surfers

Full body yumminesssss!!!❤️❤️❤️

My balance today was off but still liked it!

Steffany Lenis

Be Balanced Flow

Amazing. Builds up nicely to a little challenge, some nice hip openers but always keeping things grounded. A great way to start the day or for an energy boost later on ✨

You already know I loved it! I was feeling super crusty when I woke up and this mix sorted me right out. Hips, spine & shoulders are feeling better. Thank you!

Best flow so far, loved the shapes and the transitions

Lacey

I Don't Have Time For Yoga Pt. 2

I loved this flow soooo much. Such a moving meditation and so yummy in every way

Dynamic Intuitive Flow

I’m struggling with the amount of back bending incorporated within the flows, have tried a few but all seem to be very back bend heavy. 

Creative sequence and nice pace 💕

Karlie

Beautiful way to end the year. 
Happy 2024 everyone!!

Susanne Lentz

Exactly what my body needed 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Kristi

Full Body Flow

Thank you! That was lovely for the back! I think this will be my new favorite ❤️✨.

Elna Lindahl

So relaxing and feeling wonderful in my body after that, thank you!

Simple Spine

one of the best flows! I have done this one already so many times and it doesn’t get old 🤍

Very nice class. Feeling great and open🙏🏻

Melanie Kaeser

Hello Hips, Hello Heart

Daaaaamn! I haven’t tried this in a while. I noticed a huge change in my press game with this. So good! I feel like my hammies need to be a little more open and it’ll come more easily.  I was actually able to hold myself for a split second though. Every other time I’ve tried it’s been more of a thought with a lot of trembling than a press. Stoked on the prog(c)ress. Thank you!

Amazing creative class, feels just as good as the first time I have done it in the series. Manages to combine really strong physical movements while being soothing at the same time! Magic! Thanks🙏🏼

Press Into Handstand

There’s been an uncomfortable sensation in my spine since I got back from India and the compression in this made it feel a bit better. Thank you.

Flexibility Drill

My butt and hip flexors are on fire!! 🔥🔥 Although pressing is still way down the road but these drills are becoming a bit more accessible to me 😼 they don’t feel as impossible to do as before. Yay! ✌🏽😆

So close. I can feel it. I just have to push off slightly to get it. I’ll get it soon.🔮 Thank you!

Press Prep Strength Drill

The compression belly to thigh in low lunge to standing split to pistol squat was very difficult but I’m getting better! Also loving the forward fold compression and chest opener too. Feels so good 🥰

Fire Flexibility Drill

Great core work. And finally, a real float!

Boryana

Back bending has been feeling real good lately but it was time to move the other way. This was just what I needed. Thank you!

Float Into Handstand

Yay! I can kinda toe tap my wrist from downdog now! Progress! 🥳🤩 💃🏻 The shortened downdog with untuck toes is still very intense. The top of my feet still not strong enough to handle the pressure load. 😌

Rachel

Core Control Strength Drill

I love this flow even more every time I do it, one of my favorite flows 💙

Cady

Hopping with compression is so difficult! Block still dropping 🤣Same as hopping from downdog. But I’m getting better. It is not as awkward with legs flailing everywhere. The movement is more controlled and I can feel my legs engaging better now too! 🙌🏽

Amazing flow 🙌 I revisit this one every week.

Kick Into Handstand

Love revisiting drills class to help remind proper engagement to do during full flow class.

My spine enjoys all of the folding. Thank you.

Lots of active flexibility and balance. Love it 😊

Hamstring Flexibility Drill

Making real progress in my handstand lately by incorporating this drill weekly. Feels like I am finally getting there after 3 years or so!! Thank you for the final push and for making it fun 🙏🏼

One of my all time favourite short sequences, it’s just perfect. Thank you!

Compression Strength Drill

Whew! That dolphin push-ups! 😅🥵 walked my feet in a tiny bit and it turned up the difficulty by 10x 😅

Dolphin aways gets me. I love a good challenge though. Thank you.

Upper Body Strength Drill

Great drills to lengthen the hamstrings and spine with the forward folds. 👍🏽

Really nice for the wrists and hamstrings and back ♥️

Perfect little session before work. Thank you.

Handstand Prep Flexibility Drill

My shoulders are on fire!! 🔥🔥 The L-shape handstand at the wall is still very difficult but I can tell that all the compression drills I’ve been working on is making me stronger! I can step forward (from tiger curl position) more effortlessly now! 🙌🏽🙏🏽

I’m not sure what’s going on with my spine but it hasn’t been feeling very well. Core work brings some relief so I’ve been enjoying this handstand series more than usual. It’s so well thought out and makes so much sense the way you break things down. So grateful for you. I can hardly wait to learn from you in person. I’m literally crying. Thank you!! I love you!!!🤍

Handstand With The Wall

I was finally able to hold the the balances in this one! Progress!

So fun and yes I'm sweaty but feel strong!  Thanks!

Laura

Quick Sweat

Slow &challenging. Very nice start of the day. Thank you.

Daria

Felt amazing ! The toe tap, tough ;). Thanks 🙏

Sophie

Another sweet flow! My body was telling me to focus on core today and this was exactly what I needed. Every posture, every focused second couldn’t have been more right, in this moment. Blessings & Luv ~*~
