Joy is Imminent 2
By Ally Hamilton on Nov 27, 2018
By request, here is a flow for you mamas in the homestretch of your pregnancy, a time when you want to ease up on inverting and get that baby headed into ready position! LOTS of squatting (we'll be resting in malasana instead of down dog), and we'll open those hips from every direction. Hamstrings and quads get lots of love, too, with nice plié squats (you may not be calling them "nice" while we do them, and you may want a chair handy if balance has become an issue :)). Camel pose opens the heart and it's great if you have a block and a bolster ready for savasana, or you can use a couch pillow, too! Wishing you and your baby the very best! P.S. This is also a great practice for when you have a headache and don't want to send the blood rushing to your cranium ;)

Slow & Strong Flow
By Noelle Beaugureau on Jun 7, 2018
This practice is all about learning to take your time and move mindfully. Holding poses requires deep focus, attention and awareness, they also build a lot of heat! Sun Salutations done with intention help to warm the muscles in the body and plank variations create overall strength. Standing poses, backbends and core work will leave you ready for a very relaxing Savasana! Learn to slow down and reconnect to yourself.

Macaco!!
By Brent Laffoon on May 18, 2018
The "macaco" is a challenging, dynamic movement that comes from the Capoeira tradition, but there's no reason why it can't be incorporated into a yoga practice. If you're feeling comfortable with wheel pose and looking to explore some different ways to move, why not check out the macaco and see if it's for you. Warning: You might have fun!!

Daily Dose of Om
By Ali Owens on Jan 12, 2018
In this practice, we touch on all areas of the body with an emphasis on the shoulders and neck. This class prepares you for inversions such as handstand and forearm stand. As we move throughout the flow, you are encouraged to be methodical in your approach and conscious during the transitions. We wind down for a long Savasana so you feel calm and blissed out at the end. Enjoy a daily dose of Om!

Slow Flow/Moderate Heat
By Ally Hamilton on Dec 4, 2017
The pace is chill, but you have opportunities to modify toward more or less heat depending on your energy level. Hamstrings, shoulders and upper back get lots of love. There are some nice twists, a couple of arm balances if you’re inclined, heart and hip opening, and Savasana.

Free Fly High Flow
By Monica Moss on Nov 11, 2017
Fly high and get out of your comfort zone by pushing your own limits! It's not about the destination, so just have fun and stay centered along the way as we open the hips, shoulders, and hamstrings and fire up the core, hone the focus with balance poses, and maybe have some laughs, too!
