The September Yoga and Wellness Challenge was so enriching that and I are expanding our virtual wellness offerings. We’ve joined forces with one of our favorite yogis and humans to bring you .yoga!

Hale means home in Hawaiian and the practices on our online platform are meant to help you nurture your body and mind (your home) from your home. Our goal is to help you move from doing yoga to being yoga.

What it includes:
-6, 30-45 minute yoga practices a week ranging from vinyasa, to yin, to barre and sculpt.
-3 recommendations for practice plans to help you set up your week so that the yoga fits into your life.
-Weekly bonus classes including meditation, pranayama, and posture workshops.
-Community engagement and inspiration through a private page.
-Access to Bridget, Sara, and myself for questions.

All of this for the great value of $19.99 a month, the price you pay for one studio class. 10% of this month’s proceeds will go to an amazing nonprofit on Maui led by the inspiring Lei’hou Ryder.

We will be sharing more information in the coming days. In the meantime if you have questions please feel free to let us know and give .yoga a follow.

As the world shifts no doubt you, like us, are missing precious routines. It's times like these that we need to cultivate our wellness habits and grounding rituals. Sometimes generating momentum seems impossible but once it starts rolling the energy really builds and transforms into sustaining joy.

I’m excited to share that and I have brainstormed over hikes with pups to collaborate on a special offering. We invite you to join us for an online month long yoga and wellness challenge starting September 1st designed to help you cultivate your own lasting rituals and practices.

What it will include:
🌺5, 30-45 minute new classes sent to you each week of September. A balanced mix of yoga, barre, and sculpt.

🌸Communication. We will be available for support, questions, and feedback.

🌼Accountability. Sign up with a friend. Everyone participating can cheer each other on by sharing their practices on social media and other channels.

🌺Wellness bonuses such as extra practices, meditations, posture workshops, and recipes.

🌸A bright spot in your day, movement to look forward to, and practices to elevate your consciousness.

We are excited to start the journey of creating an online community of wellness tools and we hope you join us September 1st! Send me a message with any questions. Xoxo.

Let’s flex our muscles and move together! JOIN ME TOMORROW AT 8AM HST FOR LIVE YOGA SCULPT. You can attend via Instagram live or Zoom. For those of you who want to use Zoom, send me a message for the access code.

If you can’t attend live, the class will be saved on my Instagram live for 24 hours.

Donations are greatly appreciated, but not necessary.

Please spread the word to your friends and arrive early for class so we are ready to start right at 8. You’ll need light weights or something you can use in their place. See you mañana. 😘

Aloha friends. I’ve missed you. After a few days waking up completely unsure what day or the week it is, I’ve decided to start teaching a live class at the same time as my normal studio class every Saturday at 8am Hawaii time. From your feedback it seems there’s about a 50/50 split. Some people want zoom and some people want Instagram live. So I’ve decided to try to do both this week and see how it goes.
I’d be honored for you to join me via zoom or instagram live for a yoga sculpt and mindful movement practice to start your weekend off on the right foot. I’ll be posting the zoom link soon so stay tuned.
These live classes will be offered on a donation basis. Please feel free to donate as little or as much as you can via Venmo -Kessler. You can also help by spreading the word so more likeminded souls can join us in sadhana.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing all your smiling faces Saturday morning. Xoxo. .

It’s Saturday (I double checked) and that means I’d normally be getting ready to head to Lahaina to teach. The sangha of Afterglow Yoga is really special. All the students inspire me with their devotion to their practice. For all you missing your Saturday 8am session, there’s a new barre class on YouTube https://youtu.be/XymXPCwyg9U. Enjoy! 📸: .

Anyone else got the wiggles? Well I sure do. What helps you calm down? For me, when I can actually get myself to focus on my yoga mat I feel better. Sometimes the struggle to get there (from my couch to the yoga room—-about 15 feet) is real. If you need some movement in your life, I just uploaded a heart and hip opening vinyasa class to YouTube. It’s definitely a juicy one but there are options for all levels as long as you leave your ego at the door.

This last week has been a gift. I’ve reconnected with my yoga practice. Stepping back I’ve been thinking about the adventures of recent years and connecting the twists and turns of the journey to discover what grounds me most. Yoga is my worldview and an integral piece of my mindset is the yoga I practiced and taught at .

I’ve just posted a Yoga to the People inspired power vinyasa class on my YouTube channel. This class is for my friends who always want to start yoga but never seem to get to class as well as for you experienced yogis looking for a good honest sweat.

Sending love and gratitude to my Yoga to the People mentors, friends, and family. Let’s all take a big “H-A ha together right now.” 📸:

Just made my first ever YouTube class so that my mom (my biggest supporter and fan) can take my class while she’s home in Arizona. You can take it too. This first one is a yoga sculpt class that can help you find those hard to discover muscles to support your asana practice. I filmed it yesterday and I’m actually a little sore today 🤗. https://youtu.be/gJwi51ul4_4

With the help of my tech savvy friend , I’m going to be posting some more of these in the coming weeks. If you get something from the classes and you’d like to donate you can find me on Venmo as @ Catherine-Kessler. Yes, Catherine is my full name. 🙃
