And I’m Back in the Game!
I have been practicing yoga since I was 18 years old. Quick math *puts on Einstein cap* : that equates to precisely 22 years, 4 months and 3 days. Or so.

Team Hot Bird’s Top Hits
On the eve of our second birthday, it only felt right to stop and reflect on the last two years. So, without further ado, here’s a quick recap on our Team’s favorite classes and a few memories that have stayed with us.
Haute Phoenix: One Piece, Two Ways
Welcome to the Haute Phoenix and apologies for taking so long to pull this together! This is where I’ll share my love of all things sartorial: styling inspo, tips, highlighting favorite designers — the list goes on! Feel free to email me with any questions or suggestions as the blog progresses!
No Place Like Home…
Many moons ago, I first shared the concept of ‘aim true’ with my students ar Kripalu Center. I can’t put my finger on it, but something about Kripalu inspired me: I knew it was fertile ground for exploring this important concept that launched me into a whirlwind of creation and growth.
Hero Dog to the Rescue!
A hot dog with a squishy bun is so deeply satisfying this time of year! Check our Kathryn’s vegan-friendly version: the Carrot Dog!

Justin’s Favorite Feel Good Flow
You guys know I love to move! I’m like a 7-year-old, who just drank three sodas and snorted a pixie stick. That being said, this little movement flow really helps me focus that energy to calm down a bit, but it also scratches that itch to move around like a lil monkey boy!
KB’s Favorite Playful Transition
Our May theme at Haus of Phoenix is PLAY so I thought I’d stir the blog pot (the blog pot?!) with one of my favorite playful transitions!
Beltane Ritual for Sexual Harmony
Have you ever danced around a maypole (or desperately wanted to)? Or maybe you have memories of creating homemade May Day baskets stuffed with wild flowers to anonymously leave on a neighbor’s doorstep. The latter fills me with childhood nostalgia, while the former is a phallic symbol meant to represent the union of two as one (cue Spice Girls, maestro!).
Pickled Veg Toast with Lemon Aioli & Herbs
I am a pickling machine. Literally words I never thought I’d write.
I grew up in Kansas thinking a pickle was a pickle. You know, the crinkly coin kind that you’d pick off of burgers (yes, pickles are wasted on the youth). Fast forward to my bougie 40s, and I quick-pickle anything and everything: onions, radishes, cabbage — you name it.
For Ashi
The deal was 20 years.
That’s the bargain we struck before her velvety 12lb puggle body passed the threshold of my (soon to be our) apartment. In retrospect, I should of have insisted on a contract; stamped her paw in binding ink, but I fell for the oldest trick in the book — she wiggled that soon-to-be infamous booty, passed the entryway of our front door, looked me square in the eye, and pooped.
Kathryn’s Top 5 Classes 💃
Haus of Phoenix isn’t just a “yoga platform” — it’s a multi-faceted community where we express ourselves through movement modalities and yoga, enrich our minds through meditation, stoke our magick through ritual, myth, and story-telling, strengthen our understanding and humanity through book club and guest authors, expand our horizons through guest teachers, and whet our appetite with delicious recipes.
Our April Haus Party Playlist is here! 🎵

I Am a Burrito of Sadness
Around the passing of our beloved Ashi on December 23rd, I stumbled upon an illustration of a sad burrito burrowed in the folds of its tortilla, entitled: I Am a Burrito of Sadness. I had never felt so seen. And as it turns out, I am not alone.
