Build Core Strength & Master Inversions

The urge to fly has to be greater than the fear of falling. Here, my friend and I are practicing handstands in the studio. My classes focus on building the confidence and physical strength to get you comfortable with being upside down.

If you think 40 seconds goes by fast, you've never held a crow pose (Bakasana). This arm balance is a great teacher of focus and stability. I guide my students through the preparatory steps to build the necessary arm and core strength.

This is not just a yoga day post, it's a celebration of friendship and progress. My friend Monica and I started our yoga journeys together, and here we are, holding a split-leg headstand variation.

Walking into the weekend with a synchronized headstand flow. This requires a lot of core control and communication. It’s an advanced practice that shows what’s possible when you combine strength, balance, and partnership.

Here are three ways to fire up your core and arms using a Swiss ball. These intermediate drills, including pike hips and knee tucks, are great for building the stability needed for advanced yoga poses and overall fitness.

Some days you do things that take your breath away. This video shows a dynamic flow that includes transitions into a headstand and other challenging poses, building both strength and stamina.

When a yoga coach and a CrossFit coach get together, this is what happens. We are working on a flow that combines traditional yoga poses with strength drills, ending in a crow pose. It shows how different movement styles can complement each other.

A fun moment from a Yoga Day special event, holding a crow pose with a fellow yogi. Arm balances are as much about mindset as they are about strength.

Yoga first, then all the other things. A simple headstand (Sirsasana) in the park, connecting with nature. Inversions are amazing for circulation and bringing a new perspective, literally.
