Get Up + Move
By Ally Hamilton on Mar 10, 2023
Oh hi there! If you're looking for a class that's going to open and strengthen every major muscle group, get you breathing deeply and feeling as open and energized as possible, then you've come to the right class! Once we're warm we play with bakasana and tripod headstand, and there are also tips and tools to play with lifting to handstand with both legs together. Enjoy, yogis!

Monkey Business
By Kate Duyn on Jan 28, 2023
All kinds of monkey business today, folks! Join Kate for a deep backhanding, core strengthening, arm-balancing extravaganza. A blanket will be helpful, you may also want to have a block and strap handy. We're going to play with a variation of monkey pose that is also a very deep backbend! It's a whole mood in itself! There are also options to play with one-legged crow and side crow from tripod headstand. Calm your monkey mind and feed your monkey spirit!

Happy Strappy Core Flow
By Angela Kukhahn on Dec 24, 2022
Ready to fire up your core in all kinds of creative ways? Yes? Good! Grab a block and a strap and let's play! You may curse me a few times but I promise you two things: we will laugh together and you will get so strong from a practice like this! So, laughter and strength. Good, right? Let's do this!

Center Point
By Ally Hamilton on Dec 24, 2022
This practice is all about coming back to center. We start with grounding techniques and tune into the breath. We build heat and you will find core work is interlaced throughout the practice. Once we're nice and warm, we will play with traditional headstand. Pro tip I meant to mention but didn't: if you are comfortable in a headstand but new to lifting the legs rather than bending your knees or taking a little "hop" working in a corner might help you feel secure! Enjoy!

Integration Station
By Kate Duyn on Dec 9, 2022
This practice is all about moving through the midline to get extremely centered! It's about processing all the unprocessed experiences so we can walk away feeling like we've integrated whatever is flying around in our mental, emotional and physical space. If you're looking for a little "upward" energy, here you go! .

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!
