Bad Yogi Yoga
Hi everyone and welcome to Bad Yogi!
My name is Erin Motz & I’m not your traditional yoga teacher: I’m the carnivorous, red wine and French cheese-loving type, and my aim is to keep my classes fun and accessible. You won’t hear much Sanskrit, I totally forgive you if you don’t know your asana from your elbow, & I firmly believe that yoga is for everyone, from the kale-loving vegan to the prize-winning deer hunter.
At Bad Yogi, we're redefining the image of yoga culture. It's time to remove the snobbery, pretense, and endless "prerequisites" to fit into this community and that's why we're here. I may be a Bad Yogi, but if I’m being totally honest, teaching yoga has been one of my greatest pleasures; I practice to feed my teaching, but I teach to feed my life.
Here you can expect to find yoga classes, Q&As, vlogs and some stuff just for fun.
Can't wait to "see" you in class!

We're busting out a lot of classics in this one, but in true Bad Yogi fashion, never take ourselves so seriously that we can't do things a little off the path of what's expected. Enjoy and get ready to add this one to your playlist. Take the class here: youtube.com/watch?v=u11VK...

Are you in need of an extra good stretch for your calves and ankles? I've got just the thing.
The ankles and calves do a lot of work for us every day, so it's no wonder they can feel tight and restricted. This quick class will walk you through a few moves to do that'll bring you more flexibility in the calves and improve mobility in the ankles. I swear, my legs felt 3 inches longer after this class... I mean, they're definitely not, but I'm telling you, it works ;) For lasting results, do this a few times a week, and I promise you'll feel more balanced in your movement!

Do you ever catch yourself going on autopilot when you do yoga? We've been practicing together for a long time, and I know I do Q&As on social media, but I wanted to do a proper "yoga practice check-up" in this format so we could reevaluate your practice and see where the mindfulness has slackened.
Funnily enough, I've noticed that the more experience we gain as yogis, the less intentional we become in our movement. We start going through the motions and lose some of that mindfulness that's fresh when we're a little newer to the practice. Sure, we may get more advanced, but we take a lot of simple things for granted.
This Yoga Practice Check-Up is a chatty, workshop-style class to inspire you to pay attention to the details and infuse your practice with a little inspiration, too. Take the class here: https://youtu.be/SyDxKOkTuSA

The new year has arrived and so has a brand-new free class just for you! Get ready to shake off those cobwebs and get back to your mat with my latest class - Yoga for Hypermobility. This class is designed for those who struggle with, you guessed it - hypermobility. It's a smart flow designed to build strength around the joints so you can move with more integrity and support. It's not the kind of "strong" class that'll have you huffing and puffing and sweating your buns off though! It's really intentional and forces you to focus on creating boundaries where there might not be any so you can feel more solid in your practice for years to come. Refer back to this one often if "hypermobile" describes you well or if you're simply looking for an easygoing class that will also help strengthen the muscles around your joints. Ready? Take the class here: https://youtu.be/2UCS1xSXBQ0
If you'd like to take the full version of this class, head to my online studio, where you can get all my full-length, premium classes. You also get two weeks free when you sign up so you can check it out first before you commit. Let's go! Head here: studio.badyogi.com/

This is personal...
There are 3 questions we all should ask ourselves, but never do. And it's so mindboggling because if we did, it would make it so much easier for us to become the person we want to be.
It's time to change this.
Follow the link to answer those 3 questions (it'll only take 1 minute). It might change everything😉: www.linky.so/badyogi-as-yt

Sore from that killer workout you did yesterday? Or STILL sore from that workout you did last week? ;) I've got just the thing! This 5-minute active recovery workout is a quick and efficient flow designed to help your body recover better between workouts. I created it assuming that your main workout included a little bit of everything. We'll focus on releasing the hamstrings, quads, hips, chest, and even the neck! If you ever wonder what to do after a workout or on a day you're extra sore, this 5-minute active recovery workout is a great one to reach for! Enjoy!

Short on time to workout this Monday? If I want a quick but still intermediate-level workout, I always jump to something for the core! This quick weighted core circuit is a fun, challenging circuit using only a single dumbbell. It won't take long, but you'll definitely be feeling it for the rest of today and maybe even tomorrow ;) We'll break down the three exercises I chose to highlight and then it's off to the races! Enjoy! Head here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXGez...

Are you feeling down or stressed out? Whether it's current events or your personal life, sometimes you just feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. I've been there too and it's not fun, so I created a class to help with that. Yoga for When the Weight of the World is On Your Shoulders is all about surrender with a focus on poses that release the shoulders and back. It's a feel-good class where I also talk you through my own thought process and personal mantras that help me through times like these. I promise you'll walk away feeling lighter and freer in every sense. Ready to let all the heaviness go? Head here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEXEd...

Nothing brightens up a Monday like checking in with yourself and celebrating how far you've come - whether that be the goals you've reached so far this year, or checking in with your yoga practice and celebrating your small (and big!) victories on the mat. That's why I created this checkpoint class you can go back to again and again to measure the progress you've made. This feel-good class will help you tune into your inner self and measure not only your physical progress but also your mental progress. Are you ready to celebrate some victories? Let's dive in here: https://youtu.be/ODA31ip7bg8
