Feel Your Feelings
By Ally Hamilton on Jun 22, 2020
Use your practice to approach your fear, avoidance, or tendency to “sit on” your rage…or your joy! Lots of upper back, shoulder, hip and hamstring opening, along with core strengthening, and plenty of time to play with arm balances and inversions. Who’s afraid? Great, let’s do it!

Heartstrings & Hamstrings
By Ally Hamilton on Jun 13, 2020
Open your upper back, shoulders, muscles across your chest, and space at the front and back of your heart in this flow that opens the front body and the back body (hi there, hamstrings), fires up your core strength, and kicks it upside down. Think eagle pose, standing splits, Eka Pada K 1, dwi pada, lots of twists, and handstands for fun. Cupid has nothing on you ;)

A fun, fiery flow that deeply opens the hips, shoulders and hamstrings. We fire up the core and fly with koundinyasana variations, handstands and fun with dolphin pose. Building blocks toward all of it including visvamitrasana, so you can up-level or turn the heat down depending on how you feel. Guaranteed to open every major muscle group including the smile muscles :)

Fill Your Tank
By Ally Hamilton on Apr 1, 2020
You can't show up for yourself or the people in your life with the best that you've got to offer if you're running on empty. Take some time to breathe and tune in, so you can remember what a gift it is to have your health, to be able to breathe deeply, to sweat and flow and laugh and sometimes cry. Get upside down if you want to, regardless, let's open together!!
