Strong Stance Flow
By Dhaujee Rose on Nov 18, 2022
This yoga sculpt flow is about building strength in our legs. We spend most of the flow in standing postures with repetitions and added weights, and a cameo from our fave, the resistance bands! Don't worry, if you don't have bands, there are variations to assist :) This sculpt is short and can be a perfect addition to your longer, lower body focused flow. Have fun with Dhaujée in this fiery sculpt offering, bound to leave you standing powerfully!

Sweat and Reset

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.
