Description: W1/D5 Unblocked Meditation

It is difficult to identify the emotional pain point and what is causing it. 🫠 introspection is needed 🙏🏽

W1/D5 Unblocked Meditation

Love these tips and reminders! 👍🏽👍🏽 It’s important as a practitioners as well as for teachers! I can see this being very helpful even to those who are already good at pincha. Definitely will continue to come back and remind myself.

Very helpful. Imagined dolphin would have been one of the 3 recs for upper body strength. Loved that it wasn’t. Loved the term loosey goosey used in there. LOVE you! Thank you.

Can’t wait to start! I used to have a perfect straight line pincha, but I have lost it when I got carried away from school and losing a person dear to my heart. I can’t seem to be getting it back. I am sure this will help!

W1/D1 Pincha Tips

Went through it twice and my shoulders definitely feel the love 🥰

W1/D2 Shoulder Strength Drills

Sorry, this one was confusing for me 😩

Mandy

Amazing cues to get into headstand! And such a creative flow.

Sydney

Transition to headstand from dolphin was different. I think helpful to get that straight line.

Carissa

W1/D3 Headstand Flow

Right amount of challenge for me. Thank you.

Lovely session to wake up my body. LITTLE BALL W CROSSED LEGS will forever be a banger. It hits so damn good. My pincha sauce is getting more strong. My line feels solid and I don’t feel the nanner back. Loving every bit of my progress & process. Thank you! 🫶🏽🌚✨

I love the fluidity of Kayla’s movements and transitions. Her cues are spot on! This class combined strength and flexibility- it felt challenging yet accessible.

W1/D4 Pincha with a Wall Flow

Flexibility is so important as core! I noticed improvement in my pincha after I have improved my splits as well as my shoulders flexibility thru backbending. And after many many years I’m starting to understand and feel the lift in the pelvic floor and incorporating it into my pincha!

Very helpful! I’m your banana back guy in pincha. I love nanners but try so so hard not to nanner back my pincha. I reckon my struggle is with the shoulders more than core buuuuut I reckon making core more of a focus will help. Thank you! Also… you’re glowing in this vid and we need to take a moment to appreciate how beautiful you are.🌝

W2/D1 Pincha Tips

Love that there is L-sit drill in this series! Might I ask for lolasana in the future! 😸

Repeated and got my L sit again 🤍 these classes make the work that seems invisible, possible to see and feel 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I got my first L sit ever! 2 seconds but it made my day 🤍

W2/D2 Core Strength Drills

I love these core compression works. I used to hate it bc my body wasn’t at the stage that I could feel or understand it. But as I got stronger I started to feel and know how to incorporate it now in inversions. Thank you!! 🙏🏽😊

Feeling cooked from climbing, biking & heavy yoga sessions the past few days but wanted to play with my pincha game. It was a very humbling practice for me today. My upper body was like biiiiitch, what are you doing? I did manage to hold one for a few and felt less nanner back than usual though. Thanks for the lovely session.

W2/D3 Kick into Pincha Flow

The explanation of the mechanics in pressing to pincha is super helpful!

Puuuurfect! I’m not quite there with a straddle or pike press buuuut I kept playing and got one from a standing split like position. Tried to work the negative too and it feels more tough than handstand for me. Nonetheless, progress is being made. Thank you!❤️

though I wasn’t able to kick the slightest, i got some nice kick holds 🙏🏼 the whole practice was a process. Strong yet loving, and you made me feel like i didn’t HAVE TO get the pose, but doing my best towards it is enough. I don’t get this often with other teachers.

W2/D4 Press to Pincha Flow

W2/D5 Best Version Walking Meditation

Thank you for the active flexibility reminder! You are one of the few teachers who emphasizes this! And active engagement in the legs when you are upside down is so hard! Personally, this comes with tons of practice and getting to understand your body better.

W3/D1 Pincha Tips

This is such an intense shoulder and upper back bend drill! Can’t say I love it 🥲 but it is needed for ppl with less shoulder flexibility to help get into pincha!

W3/D2 Full Body Flexibility Drills

Love the balance between creativity to keep it playful and interesting 🥰while still incorporating important active stretches & strength 🤩such as the tumbling tree. I know it’s important to have the active split even in pincha but my body is still not there yet to know how to engage properly upside down. Will get there one day! 💪🏽

Lovely session. My upper body strength is building & pincha sauce is getting more strong. Loved the modified side plank to gomukasana transition too. Thank you. I love you!🫶🏽

W3/D3 Pincha Variation Flow

Thanya

Intense shoulder flexibility and opening which is needed for pincha especially hollow back! This is still too advanced for me but love the class to help me build foundation towards it 🙌🏽🤩

Yoooo! This was a banger. Not sure if it’s from all my efforts to strengthen my upper body, my consistency or both but this class was a little less intense on my upper body which allowed me to save some juice for pincha. I felt so stable today. Hollow back felt incredible on my shoulders and spine too!🤤🫠 Thank you!!

W3/D4 Hollowback Flow

I love every piece of your teaching and guiding style! In meditation and in the mat practices! 🙏🏽

🙏💙 love it!

Love to our bodies, love to you special beautiful soul 🙏

Marta

W3/D5 Unblocked Meditation

Kicking up to the wall really creates that dependency! Love the call out. And active flexibility and hamstring strength!! 💪🏽🦾

W4/D1 Pincha Tips

Very spicy 🌶️ backbend and hamstring activation! It was intense but my body is feeling so good! 😊

My body feels so open and great after these drills. Thabk you🥰

W4/D2 Drills for Scorpion

This flow was so powerfull. Everyday im feeling stonger with all the drills and amazing flows💚

Thank you for this magical class! It felt so good for a challenging posture like that one.

Alexandra

W4/D3 Scorpion Flow

Love having classes like this to practice when I’m on a schedule and can’t get lost in my own sauce. Pincha game is strong now too. Loving the process & progress. Thank you!

FRIGGG YES Regina! This hit so good. My pincha game is ON today. Feeling so stable upside down. Loved the skandasana transitions. That shape usually takes a few rounds with assistance before I can hang without feeling like my knee is going to blow out. In LOVE eith my process & progress.❤️ Thanks for being a part of it.🙏🏻

Quick flow that gets into pincha immediately! I’m getting a bit more hang time in my kick up flow now! 💪🏽🙌🏽
