I hope you find this as healing for your upper back and shoulders as I do!! I incorporate this series as a warm up in many of my own personal practices :)

Move in a way that works for you! We are all different. Some things that are easy for you might be hard for someone else, and vice versa. That is why in a yoga or fitness classes you need to always find the option that works for your body, not what everyone else is doing, or pushing yourself to do what the teacher says. Many of us are hard wired for achievement, but it is so much more rewarding to allow ourselves to just BE exactly where we need to be in that moment. I say in that moment, because often how we feel and need to move changes daily. It is in those moments that we can learn and grow in an authentic way. When we always push ourselves to the most extreme point we move into struggle, which cuts us off from our breath, awareness, connection, and growth. I challenge you to make the choice to move in a way that works for you. Let me know what you find and discover!

Upper body dumbbell workout done circuit style to keep the heart beating and move on with your day! Take any modifications you need. I’m using light weights due to the style of this workout. I would recommend starting light and adjusting as needed.

This 30 min class will leave you feeling good, and connected to breath and body! Perfect for a good start to your morning, or to decompress with at the end of your day. Expanding the ribs is one of Forrest Yoga’s basic moves. It is integral to the practice, and allows you greater breath capacity to feed and nourish your body with the breath.

This class includes seated side bend poses, a short warm up then a few Sun variations to wake you up and allow you to connect to your breath in a way that brings nourishment to your body.

You will need a roll, possibly a block and knee padding.

This workout keeps your heart rate up while you do leg and glute exercises. You can use a band or your own body weight. 6 moves, 1 bonus move, and designed for people of all fitness levels from beginner to expert. Have fun!

No shoes required, with a core focus we work on strength and flexibility simultaneously. Quick, low-impact, and gentle enough for days where you want to move but need it to me just the right amount.

Change it up and have some FUN!!
Do each of the moves for 30 seconds.
Do 3-5 Rounds.

This video has no sound, only the 30 second buzzer. To repeat the round, play the video again.
Turn on your favorite music or podcast, and have some FUN :)

This is a great video when your mind really wants you to move but your body needs rest and recovery. It’s gentle, it’s easy, but you move, release static energy, and stretch. Hope you enjoy it.

Cardio + light weights to burn and increase muscle endurance + workout any soreness from previous heavy workouts. Light weights needed, no more than 5 lbs. Full body workout also great for busy days.

This is 20 minutes of ease, breath, movement and connection. Perfect for when you are feeling a little tired and need some gentle rejuvenation and care.

You will need a roll for this class. A roll can be a rolled up towel, small pillow, slightly flat inflatable ball.

Enjoy:)

This is a quick HIIT workout but LOW IMPACT, which means you can get your cardio and strength without jumping. This is our second HIIT Workout, with new moves to keep you going. Get reading for those kicks at the end! Don't feel like kicking? That's okay, I've got a knee pull option that rocks! Enjoy!

In this short workout we focus on a short section of SOULfusion: Balance. It's short but cardiovascular and challenges your balance. Plus as you can see, my dog joins us! Enjoy!

In this short 20 minute workout we work all the core areas while standing and finish briefly on all fours. Have a great day!

This 28min Forrest Yoga inspired flow through Sun Salutations will guide you to soften into the body, and towards yourself with the breath. Enjoy this extended Move with Me session, because 20 min just wasn’t enough ;)

This 25 min practice will bring light movement, awareness, and opening into the hips and hamstrings. You will need block and a place to move.

A circuit style weighted workout from head to toe. This type of workout is great when you are short on time but still want to get it done. We work the full body in this circuit. You need a set of light weights. No weights? Use something else (water bottles, milk jugs, books, etc.) or just focus on using the muscle being used with each move. Feel free to adjust your weight throughout the workout to what feels comfortable. Mostly, just have fun and get it done!

This 18 min workout is a SOULfusion inspired core workout. No music here, just a warm-up, full core workout, and cool down. It's short but its effective and you will sweat! This recording was also being done on IG Live, where a lot of our "Move with Me" Bonus Workouts are done.

Bring awareness and healing to your upper back and shoulders in this class. You will need a strap/belt.

This 20 minute class has yoga, movement, breath and connection to get you feeling good, and maybe even wanting more! This is a whole body class, but more focus is given to the lower body. A yoga block is used in this class, but not necessary;)

Original Date of Class: May 5 2021

Gentle active recovery and movement for the days you either need it or just aren't feeling like much else! This is a previously recorded class from our "Move with Me" series Live on Instagram during "Emerge in May." All you need is your own body and a willingness to make a little time for yourself.

This 15-minute "how to" class demonstrates a few upper body foam rolling stretches followed by some upper body active (or "flow like") stretches to warm, stretch, and lengthen your upper body. Don't skip the first few minutes where I discuss instances where you SHOULD NOT use a foam roller AND why ALSO rolling out/stretching your lower body from the hips down is important to your upper body as well.

Starting with your right side and then moving to your left, this full body flexibility class is great for a recovery day, or just when you're feeling tight, sore, achy, or tired. You can do this at any time of day to help you gain flexibility but also release stress. Enjoy!

Just 14 minutes of core work followed by a quick cool down and stretch. A small playground ball or Pilates ball is optional for one of the moves but not necessary. This workout was designed for all levels. Take the time you need in each movement and take any modifications you need. Have fun!
