See Clearly + Fly Free!
By Kate Duyn on Apr 23, 2021
A little garuda mudra and pranayama for inward freedom and clarity of vision starts us off on an adventure that targets pigeon variations (even during your core work), eagle variations, and monkey pose right-side up and upside-down! Omg along the way, fun with standing balance, twists and all kinds of love for your shoulders, hips and hamstrings. Sat Nam, yogis, let's play!

Motivation Instigation
By Ally Hamilton on Feb 11, 2021
I filmed this class in response to a number of people who expressed they're struggling with motivation! I get it. We're in a strange set of circumstances and it's been this way for almost a year! It isn't easy and some days are harder than others, but I know there are some things that work! Changing your environment, shifting your perspective and working with your breath, it is possible to unlock energy you didn't know you had! I intended for this to be a shorter class, but once I got going, I felt so good I didn't want to stop! Join me for some breath-work, hip, hamstring and shoulder-opening, core strengthening, arm balancing fun. A surprise inversion at the end, too! We've got this!

Midday Magic
By Ally Hamilton on Jan 15, 2021
A perfect, very short practice for days when you're really short on time but want to get in your body, move, breathe, open your hips, hamstrings and shoulders, fire up your core, release anxiety and get back to whatever you're doing with more clarity, ease, focus and peace!

Slow, Deep, Mindful
By Ally Hamilton on Dec 24, 2020
Great for days when you have a moderate level of energy and really want to slow down and tune in. The more you breathe into this practice, the more the mind quiets and you can accept the invitation to release tension. You can turn the heat up or down on this one, with options for standing marichis, bird of paradise and tripod headstand with wide straddle or lotus legs (or you can be in a supported headstand with a block), and backbends can be active or restorative as well (please have a block handy)! Enjoy, yogis! Sending you and yours tons of love xx

Rise + Shine Hip Love
By Ally Hamilton on Dec 9, 2020
An energizing, feel-great-everywhere flow meant to start your day right, but good for anytime you have some nice energy to burn and want to open every major muscle group, free up your heart, fire up your core, give particular love to your hips, and play on your hands and head! There's also time to tune in, connect with your breath, tap into what it is you need and work on developing a compassionate partnership with your body! Enjoy, yogis!

Make Yourself Whole
By Kate Duyn on Nov 28, 2020
Do you know about the cosmic egg? The source of the creation of the universe - the golden womb! The soul of the universe merged back into wholeness. Today we'll explore the energy of light, love, and nourishment - calling in what YOU need to bring yourself into balance and wholeness. We play with this concept as we flow ourselves open, exploring poses like headstand with eagle legs and lifting into crow pose - drawing ourselves deeply inward in order to open. Enjoy, yogis!

Wring Yourself Out
By Ally Hamilton on Nov 15, 2020
Shake it up and shake it off. Special attention for the hamstrings, shoulders and upper back, and lots of twists as we travel. Practice non-attachment and open to the journey as it unfolds. Early core strengthening and heat building, and fun with handstands also included.

By Ally Hamilton on Nov 2, 2020
