Hinge

This exercise is ESSENTIAL to safely and effectively pick up items from the ground. Master this movement to progress to the deadlift.

Push-Up

Perform the push-up properly to strengthen the upper body. Progress to decline push-ups with feet stacked.

Squat

Focus on your alignment and weight distribution with the simple squat. Adding weight and bands can make this exercise more challenging.

Deadbug

Every exercise is a core exercise. Learn how to activate the core first, then begin to strengthen it with the deadbug.

Split Squat

A split squat is also known as a stationary lunge. Master this complex movement with proper muscle engagement to advance to walking lunges and rear foot elevated split squat. This will grow the glutes and improve ankle and knee mobility.

BE ACTIVE, BE WELL - VIRTUALLY & FREE

A 40-minute yoga practice intended to help ground during Vata season (fall-early winter). Vata is governed by the elements air and ether. To balance out Vata energy, we need to connect to tamastic energy (think grounding, earth, mountain etc). This practice includes a slow flow yoga asanas (poses) that ground the body and mind. There is also a short mountain visualization meditation during the practice.

If your mind if feeling erratic, spacey, or disconnected - follow along to this video.
