Quick Core + Hip Sculpt
By Dhaujee Kelly on Jun 12, 2021
Fire up your core and lower body with this quick yoga sculpt. Dhaujée takes us through 3 sequences that heat up the entire body but really focus on core, booty and hip toning. Perfect if you are short on time but still want a mindful sweat. If you have more time, you can always repeat the sequences or add more reps. Enjoy!

Feet, Ankles & Calves
By Jessica Oldfield on Apr 26, 2021
One of my favorite classes - this sequence will help you bring awareness to often forgotten parts of the body like your feet, ankles and calves. We will explore some stretches and work on some drills to help strengthen these areas. This is a Foundational Flow class which means we will move at a slower pace but it's expected that you have some yoga experience.

Short + Sweet Yoga Sculpt
By Dhaujee Kelly on Apr 12, 2021
This class is perfect if you're short on time and want a fun practice that will get your heart rate up. We start off with sun salutations to warm up the body, then move into a flow offering gentle reps and pulses that will sculpt those muscles. You'll feel the heat in your core, for sure, but this is a full body energizer! A block and hand weights are suggested, but improvise if you need. Enjoy!!

Energizing Leg Love
By Cassie Cherney on Nov 5, 2020
This is a full-body flow with an emphasis on the legs, building endurance and stamina! Lots of squatting, heat-building fun with goddess pose, and chances to safely play with balance, followed by some deep stretching and releasing. Props are nice here, if you don't have bolsters, couch pillows will work! Enjoy!

Slow Flow + Strong Core
By Noelle Beaugureau on Aug 24, 2020
This practice is all about taking your time to move with intention and awareness. We focus energy in the core and practice an inner gaze (eyes closed) in some of the postures. A perfect opportunity to slow down, strengthen and recharge!

Get Grounded
By Leslie Kazadi on Jul 27, 2020
Imagine having the same dexterity with your feet that you do with your hands. Imagine how steady and grounded that would make you feel. This practice will wake up your feet and help you feel the connection between using your feet and using your legs. This connection helps to stabilize the ankles first, so you can find the alignment to hold yourself steady and move with greater ease. We start slow and steady on your back. Then we move into some simple but challenging balances using props and the wall. Not only will it give you better balance, it will help you feel grounded for life - in a good way.

Move with a sense of intention in this strong flow. Fun transitions with a focus on planks and chaturanga varaiations. Hip-opening standing poses along with some challenging balances are explored! Optional inversions throughout the practice. Enjoy!

Flow + Deep Stretch
By Noelle Beaugureau on Jul 4, 2020
Find the ultimate sense of balance, strength and serenity in this Flow and Deep Stretch practice. Side body opening is the focus. We create heat through sun salutations and standing poses that integrate release in the shoulders and waist. A deeply meditative practice for when you need to slow down, re-group and reclaim a sense of peace. Namaste !
