Lock In & Lean Back

If you're like most people, backbends are tough. But if you can understand the mechanics of doing them properly, they feel amazing and can open up all kinds of possibilities in your life and practice. This class will help you figure out how to engage deeply through your shoulders and core in order to help you move deeper into your backbend practice. Go slow... and enjoy the journey!

In this well-rounded class we focus on open hip poses, and then finding our twisting poses and counter-twists to balance the body and mind. Of course we play with arm balances and inversions to challenge ourselves and change perspective... All you need to do is show up with an open mind and be ready for anything!

Gratitude Flow
By Ali Owens on Apr 13, 2017
This practice will open up your shoulders and hips while strengthening the core and chest so you feel well prepared to take on Grasshopper Pose, an arm balance that includes a deep hip opener and twist. When we feel open and connected to our hearts, we feel a lightness in the body that allows us to fly free. Enjoy!

Patterns of Precision
By Kate Cariati on Jan 15, 2017
A grounding "one-minute breath" to start the practice, then a slow easin' in with some reclining twists and hamstring opening. Work with clean lines of energy and patterns of precision through this strength building slow-flow that will get your legs burning! A bit of a yoga adagio, this one, with a propped-up variation of Ghanda Berundasana that gets us upside-down. Explore more extreme variations of Ustrasana and Dhanurasana, but extremely safely.

Flow to Let Go
By Monica Moss on Nov 29, 2016
This class incorporates an energetic flow designed to strengthen the core while opening up our hamstrings. I introduce arm balances and inversions to offer a change in perspective and to promote a challenging yet safe environment to try something new. We also work on being present at every moment during our practice focusing on how we enter each pose, hold each pose and exit each pose. The effort to stay present and aware during our practice especially through challenging poses can have a very positive effect in our lives off the mat. It's a subtle reminder that everything is temporary and when you are working through challenges in life that feel unbearable, those too will pass but there is work to be done to get through it and the pay off is totally worth it. Namaste!
