About The Light Orchard

The Idea of The Light Orchard

I was inspired to create The Light Orchard while visiting some friends in Lake Michigan a couple summers ago. During our visit at a peach orchard, I was enamored with the beautiful simplicity, the perfect process of life and how everything was connected. I immediately pictured this orchard producing glowing light bulbs from where the peaches were emerging. Representing a host of inspired ideas or innovated “ah ha” moments in our lives. We ALL have an orchard to propagate. Everything is connected. Everything is important.

Meet The Light Orchard Family

Dalton, Erin, Harlow and Rocco live just up the street from TLO in the Hollywood Hills. Erin makes rad Mala necklaces and bracelets, invents delicious soups, teaches silky yoga classes and manages the whole show. Dalton writes the Orchard letters every week, practices Muay Thai, writes songs, teaches yoga and is very grateful that Erin is organized. Harlow is a baby and she’s freaking perfect. Rocco… ummmmm… Rocco… he… ruins everything.  Wait! Rocco protects the family from the threats of the outside world. Not one Amazon driver or mailman has attacked the house since his arrival. Other than that, he just barks and poops a lot.

An All-Access Membership grants you access to the whole show! More than 350 On-Demand classes, with everything from a 20-minute stretch session to a 75-minute butt kicker. Chilled out “Slow and Steady” classes, 30-minute full-body flows, gooey-vibey yin experiences and classic sweaty TLO flows. All-Access members also receive links to 4 live Zoom classes a week, because we all know that sometimes we need that accountability to get on the mat. You’ll also be on the mailing list for all upcoming live events and retreats so you’ll be in-the-know for all the kickass stuff as it comes out. Live Zoom classes, a huge On-Demand library to practice whenever you want, and all the info about what’s happening in The Orchard… Get an All-Access Pass!

All of The Light Orchard’s online yoga classes are live on Zoom with two-way communication so I can see everyone as they practice (if they choose to keep their camera on). That way I can make adjustments to postures as we flow through class. The Zoom classes are recorded and uploaded within 24 hours (usually that same day) to the On-Demand library so it will be available for playback at any time after that.

We offer a free 2-week trial to all new members of The Light Orchard! We want people to have time to be able to get their teeth into what we do, take some classes, and dig the vibe of what we’re about. 

Live, in-person classes are held at two different locations in Los Angeles and Ojai:

  • Urban 728 Yoga in Los Angeles: Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. and Fridays at 10:30 a.m. and 12 p.m.
  • Light and Space Yoga in Ojai: Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:30 a.m.

All the classes are offered with a “scaffolding” approach. If the posture being offered is a little advanced on a higher part of the “scaffold,” a lower scaffold is offered in order to keep students with less experience engaged in the moment. We build from the ground up. There’s always something for a member of The Light Orchard to do if one of the poses doesn’t suit them for whatever reason. There are also short On-Demand tutorials and “Slow and Steady” flows that may fit a student with a little less experience under their belts. Like we say, “It’s about the experience, not the pose.”
