Maintenance Check
By Brent Laffoon on Aug 5, 2023
Sometimes it's good to take a little pit stop and get under the hood to make sure everything is running properly. That's what this practice is... a little check-in and tune-up for mind, body and soul. Enjoy!

Flying High
By Kate Duyn on Aug 5, 2023
Yogis, if you're looking to shift your perspective, please grab two blocks and follow me! We're going to deeply open the hips, shoulders and hamstrings so we can play with arm balances including koundinyasana 2 and inversions including many different headstand variations (please be sure your neck feels good and you have a long-term headstand practice if you do the variations!) Enjoy!

Move, Breathe + Open
By Ally Hamilton on Jun 30, 2023
A perfect practice when you're looking for "just enough!" We build some nice heat and use it to open the shoulders, hips, hamstrings and quads. There are options for crow pose and tripod headstand. You can do active or restorative backbends. Just a great practice to open things up, get your breath flowing and decompress. I did this after a long hike and it felt amazing. Enjoy, yogis!

Mood Boosting Flow
By Ally Hamilton on Jun 14, 2023
A flow for when you're feeling low, friends! No matter how many tools you have in your back pocket, sometimes life just gets really lifey! Practicing yoga for X number of years doesn't mean you won't feel sad, stressed, challenged or full of despair sometimes, it means that when you experience some of the heavier emotions, you know how to lean into them and ride those waves. Movement helps. Deep breathing helps. Community helps. And remembering that no feeling is forever also helps. Hope you find this flow to be the mood booster I did! Love y'all with my whole heart xx

Brisk Body Bliss
By Dhaujee Rose on Jun 7, 2023
In this brisk and fiery flow, we address all the major muscle groups and all of our favorite parts of the yoga practice. The flow starts with a sun salutation variation that incorporates energizing core work. It heats up with some twists and standing balances to warm up the legs. We close it out with hip opening and an opportunity to turn your life upside down with inversion play. Great when you're short on time but want to move through a full practice!

Slow-n-Steady Wins the Race
By Ally Hamilton on Jun 6, 2023
Slow, productive progress leads to success here, friends. This is a nice, full-body adventure with a sweet, mindful pace. We are not racing through the feels, we're stopping to really tune in and see what's happening under the hood! The hips get a lot of love and you'll find you have options for lotus pose in unexpected places if it's part of your jam. The hamstrings and shoulders are also a focus, but more than anything, this is time to slow down and see how you are and what you need. Good stuff to know ;) Enjoy!

Self-Care 101
By Brent Laffoon on Jun 6, 2023
A seemingly simple, yet deceptively intricate practice that aims to help you cultivate a deeper sense of awareness of both mind and body, as well as an understanding of how to make sure your practice meets your ever-changing daily needs... enjoy!

An Rx Flow for BurnOUT
By Ally Hamilton on May 10, 2023
If you're feeling burnt OUT, this is for you! This is a steady, deeply opening flow that gives extra love to the hips, but also opens the shoulders and hamstrings. You can turn the heat up or down based on how you're feeling. I give tons of variations on everything so you can back off, or explore more deeply. Backbends can be active or restorative, as can inversions. Hip opening can be reclined or right-side-up. What I truly want is for you to stay curious from moment-to-moment about how your body feels so you can respond with compassion and awareness. That's the cure for burnout and if you can do it on your mat, you can do it in your life!

Core Center Point
By Ally Hamilton on Apr 28, 2023
A strong core is essential for feeling grounded, open and comfortable in your own skin. This practice explores and strengthens a strong center so you can find balance in side plank, tripod headstand and traditional headstand and start to engage so you can lift your legs into inversions rather than use momentum.
