Slow, Steady, Sweet
By Ally Hamilton on Oct 5, 2024
I filmed this for you on a day when I am a little depleted. I've been fighting something for a few days and wanted to give you a practice for days like this, too! This is a slow, mindful practice with long holds and deep, conscious breath. We open the hips, hamstrings and shoulders. There is s standing sequence and some standing balance, and lots of nice, juicy stretching on the floor. This is great as an evening practice after a long day, for anytime you're feeling anxious, it's a sweet practice when you're on your cycle, but it's also great for any time you need something nurturing, grounding, and deep. You may want a block or two, and you may benefit from a strap. Enjoy, yogis.

Slower Lower Body Love
By Kate Duyn on Jul 30, 2024
This practice with Kate focuses on the legs and hips, giving the shoulders and wrists a little break, and reminding you of the strength in your foundation, and how good it feels when you tap into it! This is a slow-paced flow, intense and deep. Good for days when you want to tap into your inner strength, or for an evening practice when you're ready to work before you rest in some delicious hip openers. Enjoy! You may want a strap if your hamstrings tend to be on the tighter side, and a blanket if your knees are sensitive. Enjoy, yogis.

Full-Body Fun in 40
By Ally Hamilton on Jul 15, 2024
Need a shorter practice but want it all? I feel you! This is a full-body flow with lots of deep breathing and hip, hamstring and shoulder-opening. Core strengthening - but of course - a little arm balancing, back-bending and some deep stretching before savasana. Walk away from your mat feeling grounded, with a quiet mind, open heart, and free flow of breath and energy. Guaranteed goodness, enjoy yogis! A couple of blocks may be helpful if you need them to "lift the floor up" :)

Find Your Flow
By Dhaujee Rose on Dec 15, 2023

Explore your breath and physical flow as we move through yummy hip and heart openers. Options to add or subtract variations to find a pace and flow that feels good to you!

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!

Maintenance Check
By Brent Laffoon on Aug 5, 2023
Sometimes it's good to take a little pit stop and get under the hood to make sure everything is running properly. That's what this practice is... a little check-in and tune-up for mind, body and soul. Enjoy!

Brisk Body Bliss
By Dhaujee Rose on Jun 7, 2023
In this brisk and fiery flow, we address all the major muscle groups and all of our favorite parts of the yoga practice. The flow starts with a sun salutation variation that incorporates energizing core work. It heats up with some twists and standing balances to warm up the legs. We close it out with hip opening and an opportunity to turn your life upside down with inversion play. Great when you're short on time but want to move through a full practice!
