Welcome to Postpartum Yoga Flow with Risa! This gentle flow is specifically designed to support and nourish the postpartum body, but it is also a perfect choice for anyone seeking a deeply restorative and accessible practice. Focus on reconnecting with your body, regulating your breath, and slowly rebuilding core stability in a safe, supportive environment.

The class begins with foundational diaphragmatic breathing and essential Mula Bandha (Kegel) exercises to gently restore pelvic floor strength and awareness. We then move into gentle hip openers, supported twists, and modified core work, including low-impact boat pose variations and forearm side planks, to gradually strengthen the abdominals and back. The flow concludes with deep, restorative stretches to leave you feeling grounded and renewed.

This program will help you:

• Gently restore pelvic floor strength and awareness through Mula Bandha (Kegel) exercises.

• Reconnect with your deep abdominal muscles and rebuild core stability.

• Release common postnatal tension in the hips, shoulders, and lower back.

• Encourage deeper, more intentional breathing through guided diaphragmatic practice.

Namaste!

Welcome to Sunset Hatha Flow with Risa! This Sunset Hatha Flow offers a grounding and restorative practice designed to leave you feeling centered and calm. Unlike typical Vinyasa classes, this flow is gentle and emphasizes static holds and controlled movements, allowing you to settle deeply into each posture.

The sequence includes gentle spinal rolls, deep low-lunge work (Lizard Pose variations), and static standing postures (Warrior One and Two, Goddess Pose) to build endurance and stability. We move into a therapeutic floor series to access profound mobility in the hips, featuring Pigeon Pose, Gomukhasana (Cow Face Pose), and seated forward folds (Janu Sirsasana). The class concludes with a guided Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) to harmonize the nervous system and prepare you for rest.

*Recommended Props: No props are strictly necessary, but you may want a cushion or block for support in seated hip openers like Pigeon or Gomukhasana.

This program will help you:

• Calm the nervous system and transition into evening rest.

• Increase flexibility in the hips, hamstrings, and lower back.

• Build foundational stability in standing Hatha postures.

• Balance energy through guided breathwork (Nadi Shodhana).

Namaste!

Welcome to Ashtanga-Inspired Vinyasa Flow with Risa! This energizing and rhythmically paced intermediate program draws from the Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition, combining classical sequences with creative transitions to build strength, balance, and endurance. Flowing from standing to seated postures, this practice emphasizes breath-led movement and physical precision, offering a full-body experience that awakens your inner fire.

Risa moves you through Sun Salutations A & B, standing postures, deep folds, twists, and dynamic balancing poses like Half Moon and Heron Pose. You’ll be invited to explore binds, inversions, and backbends while staying rooted in Ujjayi breath and present awareness. Designed for intermediate practitioners, this practice encourages a steady yet exploratory mindset, both on and off the mat.

This program will help you:

• Build strength and heat through dynamic, breath-connected movement

• Improve balance and focus with standing and seated posture variations

• Deepen flexibility in the hips, hamstrings, and spine

Namaste!

Set on a quiet hillside terrace in Beverly Hills, Risa moves through a focused Ashtanga practice and eases into a sunset Hatha session. Poolside blues, soft grass, and open sky frame her nude practice with calm clarity. Strength and flexibility meet steady breath as the light shifts toward evening. This peaceful series celebrates presence, control, and the simple beauty of moving freely outdoors.
