Learn how to make the most of this "resting pose" which is really quite active. Open and strengthen your shoulders and your upper back, and open the hamstrings, calves and ankles. Add the breath. When you've got the basics down, try the classes below that flow in and out of this universal pose.
Here are some classes featuring Downward-Facing Dog.
By Angela Kukhahn on Dec 3, 2024
This is a workshop-style class designed for people who have a hard time hingeing at the hips, holding down dog with straight arms and a long spine, coming up to a halfway lift with a flat back, and generally finding freedom in the spine (and often the shoulders and hamstrings as well) as they flow. This is the kind of session that will make such a huge difference if you make it part of your regular rotation. Two blocks and some kind of pole (broomstick or anything along those lines) are needed. Enjoy, yogis!

Yoga is like medicine. Sometimes you need a strong dose, and other times you just need a little. This medium-intensity practice is for those other times. A good stretch with a bit of core work for good measure... enjoy!

Did you know that blocks can both support and spice up your practice?! In this slow and steady yoga sculpt practice, Dhaujee guides us through a flow that incorporates blocks for strength and stability. This is not the traditional sculpt class with HIIT, this is a great way to slowly repeat exercises with blocks to support toning of your muscles. If the reps with the blocks don't make you sweat, at least Dhaujee's bloopers will make you laugh. Enjoy!

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.

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!!

Whether you're new to yoga or been practicing for years, it's always a good idea to make sure your foundation is solid. The goal with this practice is to slow down, feel deeply and give yourself time to let your mind get calm. Enjoy!

We're back for another quick sculpt! We move through core focused poses that will strengthen the entire body. This practice is perfect by itself or as an additional sequence to your traditional yoga flow. Even the bees came to see what all this core buzz was about!
