Steady Heart, Open Hips
By Ally Hamilton on Feb 4, 2025
A practice for these times, friends. We start with some grounding, breathing, and awareness of sensation so we can get present. Then we head into an energizing flow that targets shoulder, hip and hamstring opening, with extra love for your hips. Eka pada koundinyasana 2 is in the playlist today, along with the building blocks to get there, or hip-opening options if you need to take it easy today. Core strengthening, but of course. And a reminder to cultivate compassion and friendliness toward yourself, so essential right now. Sending you lots of love.

Hamstrings and Hips
By Lauren Peterson on Apr 15, 2024
We start on our backs with some hamstring warm ups and core work. We continue the hamstring stretches, adding inner groins and IT Band. Next we have some twists and quad stretches before getting on our feet for standing poses and flow. We finish with backbends and inversions. An all around stretchy string class. Enjoy!

Equanimity Flow
By Josie Kramer on Jan 30, 2024
Equanimity is a sense of balance, calm and ease, especially in the midst of stress or adversity. What’s it like to respond from equanimity rather than work from a place of resistance or reactivity? This practice explores just that! You can expect pranayama, positive intention setting, sun salutations, a fun and dynamic standing sequence, core work, heart and hip opening, and a delicious savasana to close. Enjoy, yogis!

Take Up Space!
By Dhaujee Rose on Nov 26, 2023
In this dynamic offering, we will use all four corners of our mat and embody the energy of expansion. Using fiery sequences, Dhaujee will take us through a flow that's all about showing up and challenging ourselves to take up a little more space. Space in your breath, space in your body, space in your mind. Variations are offered for you to honor your limits even while expanding. Enjoy!

Finding Balance
By Dhaujee Rose on Oct 2, 2023
A flow that's all about balance! If you can find it on your mat, it will be easier to find it in your life, and even if you wobble all over the place today, you can practice breathing through unsteadiness which is always a good skill to work on! You can expect time standing on one leg in many different ways, core work, sweat, laughter and deep breath. Two blocks will be helpful, along with a strap! Enjoy yogis, and keep breathing.

Full Body Feels
By Dhaujee Rose on Sep 26, 2023
In this flow, you'll send some love to your full body. A sweet warrior sequence gives us time to tap into breath, balance and movement. We strengthen the core and wind it down with some hip love before closing out with a meditation to ground you in embracing the fullness of life. If you're hungry for a quick yoga flow, this offering from Dhaujée will leave you nice and full!

Slow Spine and Hip Release
By Dhaujee Rose on Aug 15, 2023
In this slow and steady flow, you will find release in your spine and hips. Those sweet spaces where we tend to dump a lot of stress and tension get some deserved TLC! Linking breath to motion, Dhaujee moves us through postures offering modifications and props to focus on a deep release. There are some moments of heat to shift the focus to mobility in the back and hip areas, but overall a sweet and smooth practice. Enjoy!

Good Heat Deep Hips
By Ally Hamilton on May 30, 2023
Spoiler Alert: there's no prize for forcing anything. This practice gives you many good opportunities to build heat but you can also back off if you need to! The shoulders, hips, hamstrings and core get a lot of love in this flowing practice, you'll have reminders to keep breathing deeply and to listen to your body and respond with awareness and compassion. Two blocks may be very helpful to deepen some of the backbends and hip openers. Enjoy the good sweat and deep opening, yogis!

Core Control
By Dhaujee Rose on May 25, 2023
In this offering, Dhaujee uses some of our favorite yoga asanas to isolate and tone core muscles. We kick it off with some mindful breaths and use that heat to get moving. Blocks and weights are added to keep it fiery but laughing at the bloopers will probably work your core, too! Wear cool clothes and have fun!!
