A Flow for Peggy + You
By Ally Hamilton on Jun 23, 2025
A flow to say thank you to the givers. So many of you have been practicing with me for years. Some of you I've gotten to meet in person, like my dear friend Peggy, others I have not. Either way, I want you to know I think about you all the time and appreciate you so much. Peggy is retiring after decades of working, momming and putting her family first. I know so many of us who are always squeezing in time for ourselves and I wanted to say I see you. Congratulations on your retirement, Peggy. May you have time for long practices, good books, and time to put your feet up. This is a slow flow to open the hips, shoulders, hamstrings and heart. Lots of love.

Slow Down + Breathe
By Ally Hamilton on Jan 24, 2025
I'm labeling this an intermediate class because I did not spend much time talking about alignment, so if you are newer, a beginner class will be better for you! Having said that, for those of you with an established practice, this is a foundational, steady session with longer holds and lots of time to breathe. It is a perfect end-of-day class you can even do in your pajamas right before bed like I did, it is not a sweaty flow (I know I used the word flow in the little introduction, forgive me). This practice is about calming the nervous system, and is good for any time you're feeling anxiety or depression, a loss of control, or just need to get in your body and breathe. Sending lots of love to all x

Fresh Start Flow
By Josie Kramer on Jan 19, 2025
Enjoy a well-rounded flow that focuses on embracing the present moment as the ultimate fresh start. What to expect: a gentle warm up, sun salutations, standing poses, arm balancing, core strengthening, and heart and hip opening, with a friendly reminder that every breath offers a new beginning. (This was filmed the week before the wildfires, thus the upbeat tone and theme. Though we will need to begin again and again out here, no doubt. Love to all xx)

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" :)

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!

Find Your Flow
By Dhaujee Rose on Dec 15, 2023

Each day looks different for us - our bodies show up differently to every yoga practice, our breath moves and changes as we move through life's changes, and that's okay! 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!
