Corefabulous
By Angela Kukhahn on Aug 3, 2021
We're going to have all kinds of fun in this practice! Think crow pose, baby crow pose, one-legged crow pose, forearm stand, handstand and more...but all of this is coming right from our core! So we are going to get centered and then we will fly! A couple of blocks would be handy. Enjoy, yogis, and let me know if you have requests!

Freedom Flow
By Ally Hamilton on Jul 24, 2021
This is a deep, hip-and-shoulder opening flow designed to help you soften, release and open. We do lots of heat-building along the way. You may find yourself flying like a crow or a firefly, standing on your head or your hands, or opening your hips, shoulders, hamstrings and chest in ways that surprise you. Try to release your attachment to the destination, and just feel the freedom in giving yourself permission to be right where you are!

Straddle Up!
By Angela Kukhahn on Jan 14, 2021
Join me in the Practice Garden for an energizing flow that's all about the straddle! Work your inner thighs and outer hips to find stability and strength, fire up your core, and approach this practice with curiosity. A couple of firm blocks might help you find your handstand straddle, but whether you lift-off or stay right-side-up today, we're going to move, breathe, work and have some fun! You can expect lots of creative and powerful core strengthening mixed into our flow, an exploration of dolphin pose with the option for forearm stand, lots of inner thigh and outer hip engagement, frog hops, and a possible handstand straddle.
