There is Enough
By Jennifer Pastiloff on Mar 18, 2018
The theme today is jealousy versus inspiration. When you see someone accomplish something you'd like to accomplish, do you feel happy for them or jealous? Do you celebrate for that person or feel smaller yourself? When we worry there isn't enough for us, we're coming from fear. When we can be expansive and know that no one can take our place in the sun, we're coming from an open place, and that feels so much better. Open your heart, hips, shoulders, hamstrings and mind, and strengthen your core as we free ourselves from fear!

Beginner Balance at Wall
By Leslie Kazadi on Mar 15, 2018
If you are a beginner or feel a little off balance, take your standing practice to the wall. It gives you extra feedback, courage and strength. The wall helps you feel your spinal alignment. Its support gives you the courage to be bold in your balance poses. Pressing into the wall creates a closed chain of leverage that helps build extra strength. It's also sweet for the finishing poses, using your feet on the wall to get just the right amount of release and relaxation after a simple, strong standing practice. Enjoy the balance of working hard and relaxing deeply in this session!

Stay True to Your Center
By Anne Lilburn on Dec 22, 2017
Start with a strong core so you know where your center is, and go from there. Working with the idea of knowing your center (and knowing yourself) and moving around that center with integrity. Early core-strengthening sets us up for a fiery and twisty Crescent flow, followed by some standing balance and twists. Dolphin, Dolphin Plank, Twisting Ardha Chandrasana, Eagle Pose, Hanumanasana and Gomukhasana take us into the shoulders, upper back, hamstrings and hips. Open it up while staying true to your center.
