Weird Flex Yoga

Unconventional Approaches to Yoga There are lots of ways to stretch and breathe in a yoga practice. We hope you'll find a home here with us! We're here to help!

At Weird Flex, we're just celebrating some of the less common or less traditional ways. Here, you'll find classes like:

-Adaptive Yoga (adapting the poses, breath and movement to all bodies and abilities)
-Beginner-Focused Practice (slow-paced, full of explanations, modifications, open dialogue and absolutely zero judgement)
-Grounding and Empowerment Yoga (with a focus on calming the nerves and resetting stress responses)
-Alpaca and Metal (music) goat yoga
-Metal Yoga (lighthearted yoga with a metal theme and music)
-Yo-Goth (yoga with a goth theme and music)
-Restorative True Crime Podcast Yoga
-Spooky themed classes (all year long)

-All the themed classes, honestly
..and more! All classes can be signed up for online, through the link in an event info. If you have questions about ANY of the classes, please ask, any time! No refunds are offered on classes, but your spot can be transferred to a friend, for the same class.

I had so much fun this weekend, and got so relaxed, I completely forgot to get ANY photos from our second class, entirely.

But both classes were full of awesome family and yoga adventures. Many thanks to Sandy and Miranda for the awesome photos from Saturday!

On Saturday, we strengthened our “snark muscles”, stretched our hands and wrists for sewing, worked on our core support, strengthened our backs and stretched our necks and full bodies, then took time after class to learn and work on a new skill together.

We all chose “snarky cross stitch” patterns to begin and finish at home. Absolutely loved watching the class work together to help each other learn and create.

Today (Sunday), we did an entire class with the support of the wall (and a barre), while listening to The Wall, by Pink Floyd. It was a full body workout and stretch, that left a lot of us with relaxed but energized bodies. I love music-themed classes-be on the lookout for more music themes in the new year.

Coming up next:

Sound healing mini sessions for my birthday,
yin “book club” (yin yoga with your favorite book),
a crystal-infused practice with soapmaking lesson,
restorative yoga with a mini peel face treatment, restorative yoga to A Christmas Carol,
Solstice yoga,
and
true crime podcast yoga at the salt cave.

Hope you’ll join us, soon!

The resident kitties of Mineral Wells Vet Clinic were the cutest and best addition to our practice over the weekend. I think their sweet fluffiness brought so much calm happiness to everyone. So glad for Rachel, the cats and the Clinic for joining us for a fun class, and being fantastic hosts!

We borrowed some cues from the cats, released our cares, gave big stretches and took over our space on our own terms. Absolutely loved cat yoga, and am looking forward to doing it again!

Before the weekend was through, we also got to have a super chill and restful restorative class at the Historic Oakland Estate. The scene was gorgeous with the new snowfall, and the already decked halls and walls of the Estate. We practiced in candlelight and twinkle lights, and rested to stories about Mr Rogers, Steve Irwin, Bob Ross, Leslie Jordan and Keanu Reeves. Such a warm-hearted twist on our typical true crime classes.

My favorite thing about this class for the students was getting to see so many of them leave with a brand new bolster of their own! I feel like having a yoga bolster is often a barrier to enjoying a good restorative or yin class. So knowing my students are building their prop collection makes me happy dance.

I also really enjoyed realizing part of my practice this weekend was to learn to trust myself more, and learn to trust my students, more. I lost my Monday night script and had to wing it, which ended up working out just fine. And I discovered a reaction in me that wanted to jump up and help, when I realized I needed to trust myself and my students more, that they could feel safe with me and their own space, and truly do what felt right for them.

Sometimes yoga is about observing discomfort, becoming aware of where you are in a pose, a breath or a space, and loving yourself through it.

Sometimes yoga is about understanding you’ll feel shaky, vulnerable, and unbalanced, and that this is all human and just as worth loving as “nailing” a pose or a meditation.

One of my favorite practice weekends, for sure.

Thank you to both classes this weekend, for showing up for yourselves, for selling to capacity, for stretching as a family. Thank you to Sandy and all of our friends for the awesome photos, videos and memories of our classes. What gorgeous memories. 🤩

More memories coming soon! Join us on the 22nd for Yoga + Snarky Cross Stitch AND on Sunday the 23rd for a wall-focused practice to a classic Pink Floyd album ( "The Wall" Yoga )

Hope to see ya there!

I never get tired of being with my Weird Flex Family. Every class is so unique and special, and always leaves me feeling better than ever.

The rains might have chased us out of the woods, but they also chased us IN to one of our favorite historic homes, The Historic Oakland Estate, for a trick-or-treat yoga class we’ll not soon forget. ✨

We invited the elements, thanked our guardians, focused our goals and explored the Estate while collecting our charm bag ingredients at different stops throughout, all during an awesome rainstorm.

It felt like magic the whole evening, and ended with us all sharing and letting so much go, making room for lots of growth and changes to come.

I’m so in love with our yoga family. They’ve been a part of so many important things in my life, and I can’t wait for what’s to come.

Thank you Miranda, Moriah, Candice and Sandy, for showing up for yourselves, sharing with our group, AND taking so many awesome photo and video memories. Every single moment is SO special to me and us.

As for what’s to come: This weekend, we’ll be headed to a private cemetery on Friday, followed by Halloween chair yoga on Sunday, and our final “Halloween” class of the season on November 1st: Yoga at the Hunted Haunted Trail!

Hope you’ll join us!

Today marks 2 1/2 years since I began teaching yoga classes.

I started Weird Flex because I was looking for something different.

I wanted a place where we all entered as equals.

I wanted a practice where I could laugh, and swear, and ask questions, and challenge the ideas around what yoga could be.

I wanted to share space with folks who ached to be themselves.

Two and a half years later, and it feels like that idea just keeps growing.

We’re extra, we’re ridiculous, AND we’re yogis.

Sacredness isn’t just in the silent moments we imagine a “perfect” practice to be.

It’s also in being really honest with yourself, and realizing maybe your body is asking for some pose alternatives (or just to take a break, and not push too much).

Sacredness is looking over at your neighbor and realizing their hand is reached out to help support your tree pose.

Sacredness is being in a room with strangers who are just as weird as you are, and knowing it’s safe to not take yourself too seriously.

Sacredness is laughing over a fart joke, or how chair pose sucks.

It’s found through realizing we are all human and “weird” and perfect, just as we are.

It would be the coolest thing ever if you’d join us for some upcoming classes.

Up next is magical GROWN UP TRICK-OR-TREAT in the woods! Grown ups deserve trick or treat, too. We’re taking a short trek through the woods, tackling some yoga pose “challenges”, and collecting supplies at each stop to make charm/protection bags.

The following weekend, we’re practicing in a small, private cemetery, then doing a Halloween themed chair class, and Halloween line dancing…all before wrapping up spooky season at the Hunted Haunted Trail on November 1st. Hope to see ya there!

Thank you sooo very much to Sandy, Candice, Brittny, Rachel and Jolene for catching so many great moments in this past weekend’s classes, and to everyone for showing up for yourselves. You all make the classes so rich, and I look forward to every single one with you.

I’m completely humbled to have people in my life who remind me to keep my heart open.

These gorgeous humans right here shared their entire selves and put so much love into our shared class, last night.

Creating a practice with Tranquil Spirit Yoga and Jewels Whitley Yoga & Dance felt like remembering to breathe. Thank you all for being a part of our first inhale and exhale, together.

Up next (Thursday, 10/9), join Weird Flex for a relaxing restorative class while we listen to local scary stories for spooky season. Hope to see you there! 🖤👻

Ghost Stories and Restorative Yoga (link for tickets)

Our fearless tour guide Chris, led us around the hallowed grounds of Lake Shawnee on Saturday, teaching us about the history of the Lake Shawnee land and some fascinating happenings along the way.

Lake Shawnee, an abandoned amusement park, has been a hot spot for ghost hunting, tv shows and movies, but the humble and gracious hosts have always made sure to honor what came before them and do what’s best for the land and anyone who is connected to it.

We had the absolute best time visiting Lake Shawnee Amusement Park with the Weird Flex Family, and would love to go back, sometime soon. We even got Chris to join us for a little warrior pose before we went off to stretch and explore on our own! Thanks for being fantastic hosts, and sharing such a cool place!

Thank you SO much to our family, Moriah, Miranda, Jolene, Amanda and EVERYONE for capturing our yoga field trip so perfectly and beautifully, and for sharing your words about our experience. I can’t imagine having this much fun without every single one of you. 🖤
