Hatha Heart and Hips
By Dhaujee Rose on Dec 7, 2021
We process emotions in the heart and store them in the hips. In this hatha inspired flow, we take it slow and work through the emotional kinks we may be hiding. We spend time in some of our favorite challenge poses like bound half moon and extended side angle that invigorate both the hips and heart. A strong breath carries us through it all! After we've built the heat standing, we slow it down with a floor sequence offering long, releasing holds. Enjoy this challenging practice, your hips and heart will appreciate it!

Counts and Cues
By Callan Beres on Nov 15, 2021
This is a real barre warmup with combinations, counts, and cues! This class is most appropriate for dancers with some dance training because of the abbreviated breakdowns of each segment, but those who are new to dance should definitely join and modify as needed. You can expect a barre like you'd find in any ballet studio in the world, starting with pliés and ending with grand battement. Together, we'll focus on building stability through each exercise, and becoming more familiar with dance terminology and etiquette.

Fiery Full Body Sculpt
By Dhaujee Rose on Oct 13, 2021
In this short and sweet sculpt, we energize all of the major muscle groups. We start with vinyasa variations to warm up the upper body, moving into squats for leg fun. The flow finishes with a core sequence that surely brings the heat if you aren't already sweating. As always with the sculpt offerings, you can add or subtract reps to make your practice more personal. Have fun and tone it up with this fiery flow!

Anterior Hips
By Jessica Oldfield on Aug 15, 2021
In this class we will focus on the anterior hips - the Hip Flexors, the Quadriceps and the Adductors. We'll move through a flow that will help bring awareness and attention to these areas so that you know how to stretch and strengthen them in your practice. This is a Foundational Flow class which means we will move at a slower pace but it's designed for intermediate to advanced students.

Feet, Ankles & Calves

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 Rose 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!!
