Stoke Your Spark!

By Ally Hamilton on ?

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

There are roughly 7 billion people on earth, but only one YOU!! Isn't that amazing? You have something particular to offer this world that only you can, but sometimes people doubt themselves! Relate? This practice is about getting out of your own way so you believe that what you have to offer is valuable and needed! If you're looking to stoke your creative juices, this is for you! A little breath-of-fire, core strengthening, twisting, balancing and getting on our hands and maybe upside-down. The whole time we'll work with the feeling of being rooted, trusting ourselves and then shining it out!

Present Moment Flow

By Ally Hamilton on ?

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

The theme of this class is present-moment awareness! How present are you feeling in your life from day-to-day? Do you feel like you're sucking the juice out of life? Are you able to be present with your own feelings and truly know yourself? When you eat, are you tasting your food? When you're in a conversation, are you listening, or waiting for your turn to speak? This practice will help! We move mindfully, and as we make shapes I will gently remind you to observe how these shapes feel in your body as you breathe. Set the intention to stay curious! If you can do this for yourself, you'll be able to do it for other people, too! It's such a gift to be able to listen deeply and respond with presence, awareness, love and patience.

Self-Compassion Flow

By Ally Hamilton on ?

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Practice begins with a 3-minute talk about the importance of self-compassion. If you are a Type A perfectionist by default and live with a loud inner critic, my goodness this is especially for you! Please set the intention to replace any negative inner talk with a voice that roots you on as we move and breathe and make shapes together! We give lots of love to the hips, hamstrings and shoulders, fire up the core and then give extra love to the hips when we're warm. This is a feel-good flow that's all about cultivating compassion and developing a loving and respectful relationship with your body, and perfect for days when you have a moderate amount of energy! Once we can be compassionate with ourselves, we can do that for other people with a different kind of insight.

Happy Hips Can Move!

By Callan Beres on Sep 20, 2021

Yoga for Athletes Intermediate

This one is all about giving some loving attention to our hip girdle, an area alternately over-worked and under-strengthened. We start with an easy warm up to roll out the feet and ankles, optional ballet 'hops' to get the blood flowing, followed by a couple planks to bring attention to the lower abdominal area. Believe it or not, this is where your pelvic negotiation starts! You can expect gentle but challenging movement, with a cool-down inspired by the Feldenkrais Method. Bring a block or another supportive item to explore that pelvic ROM (range of movement).

Deep Stress Relief Flow

By Ally Hamilton on ?

Vinyasa Flow Advanced

How are your shoulders and hips right now? How are YOU? How's your heart? If you're looking for a flow with a very sweet pace where we start with grounding and breathing and then very deeply open the hips and shoulders...look no further! Make deep, conscious breathing and the desire to be present with yourself and all you feelings the focus of this practice and I promise you will feel a huge energetic shift whether you take me up on opportunities for standing marichyasanas, fireflies, arm-balance mash-ups and inversions...or not! Yoga Nidra in savasana will leave you feeling blissful, too <3

Quiet the Chitta Vritti

By Ally Hamilton on Sep 20, 2021

Vinyasa Flow Advanced

Left to its own devices, the mind operates like a monkey, jumping from branch to branch! But the good news is: yoga chitta vritti nirodha, or: yoga calms the fluctuations of the mind so we can rest in our true nature. Sometimes we have to do a lot of deep breathing and shape-making to quiet that mind chatter and become present! In this practice we play with poses right-side up and upside-down so by the time we're done the only thing you're sure of is your center. And that's all we can ever really be sure of, anyway ;) Expect lots of hamstring and hip-opening, shoulder-opening, core strengthening, monkey pose and eagle pose every which way and a little grasshopper to keep things moving :) You might want to grab a couple of blocks and a strap just in case! Enjoy, friends!
