Slow Burn/Deep Hips
By Ally Hamilton on Nov 16, 2022
If you're looking for a class where we slow down, get grounded, use breath-work to release stress and build some very nice heat along the way as we go deeper and deeper into the hips then look no further. This is a deep-release session for your hips, hamstrings and shoulders and a real nervous system reset if you breathe deeply and consciously. Enjoy, yogis!

Tortoise Flow
By Ally Hamilton on Oct 4, 2022
Need a little push to come out of your shell today? Look no further! We get right to it in this flow, build lots of heat and dive deeply into the hamstrings! You'll also give plenty of love and attention to your shoulders, hips and core, but the hamstrings are our focus as we head toward all kinds of wide straddles right side up and upside down on our way to a possible tortoise pose and firefly pose. Enjoy, friends!

Hips, Twists + Breath
By Ally Hamilton on Aug 30, 2022
Calling all grasshopper-curious yogis! This is a twisty, centering flow with lots of standing balance that includes standing marichyasana, lots of twists and upper back-opening, hamstring opening, and core strengthening as we make our way toward Grasshopper pose! You may or may not get into the pose today, but I offer variations for those who need to start at the wall with a block, those ready to come off the wall, and those ready for flight :) You will open your hips, hamstrings, shoulders and upper back, strengthen your core, and have fun along the way no matter what else happens! A block will be helpful for those working toward the pose.

Quick + Thorough!
By Angela Kukhahn on Jun 14, 2022
If you're looking for a shorter practice that packs a punch, here you go! The hips get a lot of love in this flow, but so do the shoulders and hamstrings! You'll have options to add handstands and headstands along the way, but even if you don't invert, you will breathe deeply, get your heart pumping and walk away from your mat feeling open and energized!

Pincha Meets Baby Bakasana
By Angela Kukhahn on May 29, 2022
Sometimes the harder transitions can feel so out of reach! Angela to the rescue. Whether you're looking to develop better understanding of balance and counter-balance, what to engage when you're moving from an arm balance to an inversion or the other way around, or you just feel ready to start thinking about and exploring these things, this practice is for you! Angela breaks it down in bite-sized pieces and makes it fun...promise! Grab a couple of blocks and a strap, your core muscles and your sense of humor, and let's play!

Hamstring Love + Piking
By Angela Kukhahn on Mar 23, 2022
This practice is about hamstring flexibility, core strength, and the possibility of piking into inversions. You can opt out of that last treat if you wish and keep your feet on the ground today and make it about strengthening your core, but for those of you interested in piking, I have lots of tips for you!

Fear Not, My Friends...
By Brent Laffoon on Feb 26, 2022
I know, I know... Ashtanga is hard. Don't worry. This practice an abbreviated and modified version of the Ashtanga primary series, so intermediate yogis are welcome. It's meant to be challenging without being overwhelming. As always, if your goal is to grow, at some point you have to get uncomfortable, and this practice is meant to take you just a little beyond your edge so that you can start to see how to put the pieces of the bigger Ashtanga puzzle together... enjoy!

Stretch + Re-Center
By Brent Laffoon on Feb 1, 2022
A (mostly) gentle full-body stretch, followed by a calming meditation focused on the breath. Perfect for when you want to open things up without working too hard... enjoy!

Rise 'n Shine Flow
By Brent Laffoon on Jan 21, 2022
A slow, steady build opening the shoulders, spine and hips in preparation to move into some deeper backbends before finishing with a nice, long savasana... Enjoy!

Root to Rise
By Dhaujee Rose on Jan 1, 2022
This is a full-body flow that has an equal balance of rooting down (think grounding and strengthening poses) and rising up (think standing balance and inversions). In order to fly, we have to have a solid foundation. Join Dhaujee for a flow that is sure to bring you into balance!
