What makes us different? We move with purpose and play.

Our creative flows are designed to spark curiosity, challenge familiar patterns, and light up new pathways in the brain, because exploring movement in new ways builds awareness, coordination, and a deeper mind-body connection.

If you’re looking for structure, inspiration, and a place to feel more like yourself, welcome in.

Let’s move differently, together.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I join a live-streaming yoga class?

Once you sign up for one of our live-stream classes, you will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link via email. You'll also receive a reminder email 45 minutes before class, including the Zoom link to access the class. If you don't already have Zoom, you can download it here.

You'll be admitted from the "waiting room " at the time of class. Once you're in the class, feel free to turn your video on or off according to your preference. To minimize distractions, all participants will be muted when class begins.

Practice along and enjoy. :)

I’m a yoga teacher. What can I expect from your resources?

Our teacher tools include class skeletons, sequencing inspiration, playlists, and editable templates — perfect for sparking ideas, saving time, and bringing more creativity into your teaching.

What does “pay what you can” mean?

We believe yoga should be financially accessible to everyone. That’s why we use a sliding scale model for all live and on-demand offerings. Our membership options — monthly, seasonal (quarterly), and annual — include unlimited access to all classes, both live and recorded. You choose the rate that works best for you.

Do I need props?

We love using props in our classes because they can help assist you during long pose holds and help you move between poses (transitions). Here are some ideas, but be creative:

1. Yoga Blocks (books, a chair, etc.)

2. Yoga Blankets (bath towels, blankets)

3. Bolster (stiff pillows, pillow(s) wrapped in a blanket)

I'm not very advanced or flexible. Can I do your classes?

Yes! Absolutely! If you’re not flexible, THAT’S WHAT YOGA IS FOR! I meet you on your mat wherever you are, and increasing flexibility is only one of the many benefits of yoga. I love to inspire people and offer an opportunity to try something new. I offer many variations so everyone can practice safely!
