Swept Off Your Feet
By Ally Hamilton on May 29, 2024
This is a practice for times you're dealing with lower-body injuries, such as a broken ankle or toe and need a practice where you will sweet and breathe, but stay off your feet! It's also a great practice when you're looking for a little targeted yoga sculpt, even if you aren't injured. The heat building happens in the upper body with multiple cat-cow variations, cobra push-ups on our knees, and the addition of light weights (a soup can or water bottle will do), along with core work on the back. We use the heat to open the shoulders, chest, upper back, hips and hamstrings. Dealing with injuries can be frustrating, or you can use it as a chance to get creative :)

Vin to Yin I
By Dhaujee Rose on Jul 31, 2023
You get the best of both worlds in this flow with Dhaujee. Kicking it off with fluid movement and closing out with gentle attention in a sweet yin offering. The practice begins linking breath to motion in a fiery vinyasa flow that is sure to open you up. Then we slow it down for focused attention in some yin postures supported by props and full, slow breaths. Take some time to tap in deeply with your muscles, breath and mind in this full practice.

Get Grounded
By Dhaujee Rose on Sep 3, 2021
A yoga practice that doesn't require standing?! Yes please! In this gentle flow, we stay low and breathe through modifications of our favorite poses. This isn't a restorative practice but it moves slow and steady. This flow is perfect if you have low energy and still want a thorough, opening practice.

Mobility Flow
By Angela Kukhahn on Jun 12, 2021
You are a powerful creator of your own experience. What do you want to create with this practice? This is a mobility flow -no direct core work, no inversions, we're focused on mobility! This means we'll be building heat and doing LOTS of hip, hamstring and shoulder-opening, while giving lots of love to your spine. Please don't force a thing, work with your body to create space, there's no rush. Enjoy yogis! You might want to have a couple of blocks and a blanket handy.
