Sweet + Steady
By Kate Duyn on May 30, 2023
A sweet, steady container of breath work, hip-and-shoulder-opening, core strengthening and an opportunity to play with forearm stand. Perfect for days when you want to go deep, but have a moderate amount of prana to work with :)

Just Right Flow
By Angela Kukhahn on May 25, 2023
Hello, yogis! Today we have a fun, middle-of-the-road kinda flow that is not too crazy-hard and not easy, either! Just a sweet, solid, full-body flow with options for arm balances and inversions, but only if you want them! Enjoy this ride :)

Freedom Flow
By Kate Duyn on Feb 17, 2023
This practice is all about clarity of vision and inward freedom. It may seem counterintuitive but discipline is a big part of finding that inward freedom. The idea is to use your discipline or your practice or craft to explore what freedom means for you. Showing up is the key, and coupling your determination with your vision sets you up for limitless possibilities!

Open Sesame
By Ally Hamilton on Feb 17, 2023
I love a classic 90-minute class where we don't have to rush or edit anything out! This practice is all about opening to reality as it is, which is not always as we want it to be. Attachment and aversion are flip sides of the same coin. We approach this practice and our own bodies with curiosity instead of an agenda. It's incredibly freeing. There's a focus on shoulder , chest, upper back and neck release, but you'll get plenty of hip and hamstring opening as well. Core strengthening gets us ready for an exploration of forearm stand (a strap and a block may be helpful). And yoga Nidra in savasana should send you floating off your mat. Enjoy, yogis!

Powerful Pincha Practice
By Angela Kukhahn on Feb 8, 2023
If you're looking for a get-up-and-go advanced, energizing practice where you can hunker down and focus, look no further! This is a shoulder-opening, core-strengthening flow that targets forearm stand and headstand and transitions between headstand and forearm stand. You will breathe, move, sweat, strengthen and probably learn something new all in 21 minutes! And you'll have fun! Low ponytails for those of you with long hair are recommended :)

Core Blaster/Shoulder Fun
By Angela Kukhahn on Jan 17, 2023
This is a high-energy core-blasting flow that incorporates core work on our backs, but also from dolphin plank and side plank. There's also time in dolphin pose with forearm stand prep (you can move into forearm stand if you wish, yogis!) but our focus is the core for sure! Have two blocks handy so I can torture you a little extra! You're welcome! (I promise we are going to laugh and have fun, don't worry! Laughing is the best core work!)

Quick Core + Chest Flow
By Angela Kukhahn on Jul 9, 2022
Quick but powerful core, chest and shoulders class! All you need is 10 minutes and a good attitude, and you will be amazed at how fired up you will be. It might only take 10 minutes, but your core, chest and shoulders will be talking to you for days! Of course you will stretch it out at the end because Angela wouldn't leaving you hanging! Great when you're short on time but want something potent and meaningful.

Energizing, Grounding + Good
By Ally Hamilton on Jul 6, 2022
This is a deep, twisty flow where we target shoulder, hip and hamstring opening, freedom in the upper back and targeted core strengthening so we can play with grasshopper pose (or the building blocks to move in that direction). There is also a breakdown of forearm stand and direction about how to know if you're ready for it. Lots of deep breathing and time to tune in and listen. Lots of breath work along the way, and Yoga Nidra in Savasana. If you want to go on a journey inward, grab your mat and let's do it together! Intermediate students are welcomed and encouraged. There are options for everything so as long as you listen to your body, it will be wonderful!

Sweet Strength
By Ekaette Ekong on Jan 21, 2022
This practice is about your "back body" which simply means we'll be targeting your shoulders, upper back, glutes and hamstrings, but we'll also be balancing things out by opening across the chest, and strengthening the core and quadriceps. We'll be working toward dolphin pose and dolphin plank pose. Two blocks and a strap will be helpful as we build strength and breathe together!
