Doorway to Spirit
By Josie Kramer on Sep 4, 2018
The entry point of spiritual practice in yoga is the body. With this in mind, approach your body as a doorway for healing at deeper levels of your being. Set a positive intention around what you want to strengthen, release or heal whether it’s physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. With that as your foundation, enjoy a well-rounded vinyasa practice with plenty of flow! Stay connected with your breath as you move from a gentle warm up, to a heat-building sequence and then to a gentle cool down. Finishing in Savasana, enjoy!

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!
