Please grab two blocks and a blanket and give yourself an hour to explore strength in your center as we move, breathe and flow, play with arm balances including side crow and koundinyasana 2, and end with some funky and fun headstand variations for those of you with a solid headstand practice. Please note, if you have any neck issues going on today, save this practice for another day!

Heat, Hips, Headstand
By Ally Hamilton on Feb 20, 2024
Oh hi friends! This is an all-over feel-good flow where we build some nice heat throughout. I even snuck in a little yogasculpt so please have two blocks handy! The hips, hamstrings and shoulders get lots of love. You'll find targeted core work as well. We will use the heat and the strong core to play with some twists, arm balances and inversions, including a step-by-step guide to tripod headstand if you're ready for it. Enjoy the heat, the fun, and the sweet rest at the end :)

In this offering, Dhaujee guides us through a full yoga practice in only half the time. We get a little meditation, breath, balance, inversions and flow all in just 40 minutes. Set in an intention of warmth and softness, you'll build heat as you gently address all of the major muscle groups with this mindful movement. Enjoy!

Grounding + Flying
By Ally Hamilton on Oct 27, 2023
A classic, 90-minute practice where we have the time to go deep. Grounding at the beginning of practice, breath work, and a steady mix of intensity alongside long holds throughout the practice. You'll experience sequences that raise your heart rate (think yoga sculpt) and sequences where we use the heat to deeply open, breathe and feel our feelings. There is core work and we do play with inversions. There are froggy hop drills you can practice at the wall. I really wanted to juxtapose grounding and flying throughout the practice so it becomes clear if you want to fly, you have to have a very strong foundation. Enjoy, yogis!

Grounded, Gratefully
By Ally Hamilton on Oct 11, 2023
A practice that's perfect for days when you feel challenged. We begin with alternate nostril breathing and 4-7-8 breathing and a very short talk about working with your nervous system throughout the day when you need to. We move mindfully through this practice, focused on grounding poses and the breath. This is a practice where you will build enough heat to open deeply, but the focus is on mindful movement, breath, and a calm and open mind and heart. Great for anytime you need grounding, and also lovely as an evening practice.

Let's Get Deep
By Ally Hamilton on Oct 7, 2023
Hello friends! This is a classic 90-minute practice with Yoga Nidra in savasana. If you're looking for a deep dive, you've found it. We do lots of shoulder, hip and hamstring opening, as well as the upper back and chest -no stone is left unturned. Once we're nice and warm we'll spend some time playing with inversions. As ever, I will give you tons of options so if you aren't comfortable on your hands or on your head, I'll give you some building blocks to play with! I do break down traditional headstand and how to lift (not kick! please don't kick your legs up into headstand) your legs up, which is what we want. But even if you don't want to go upside down today, this is a deep and thorough practice and I hope you enjoy.
