Stoke Your Spark!
By Ally Hamilton on Oct 13, 2021
There are roughly 7 billion people on earth, but only one YOU!! Isn't that amazing? You have something particular to offer this world that only you can, but sometimes people doubt themselves! Relate? This practice is about getting out of your own way so you believe that what you have to offer is valuable and needed! If you're looking to stoke your creative juices, this is for you! A little breath-of-fire, core strengthening, twisting, balancing and getting on our hands and maybe upside-down. The whole time we'll work with the feeling of being rooted, trusting ourselves and then shining it out!

Deep Hips Chill Vibes
By Ally Hamilton on Jul 15, 2021
This is a steady, heat-building flow where we go deeper and deeper into the hips but we keep it casual. We're not trying to get anywhere, we're just enjoying the experience of practicing together, listening intently to what our bodies have to tell us, and seeing what unfolds. This is an intermediate flow, but we do play with some advanced poses without any pressure whatsoever, and with modifications offered so you can turn the heat up or down!

Be Your Own BFF
By Ally Hamilton on Jul 2, 2021
This is a delicious, steady flow with moments of intense heat-building as we go deeper and deeper into the hips and hamstrings. Maybe you'll end up turning into a monkey, a lizard, a pigeon or a human who stands on your head! Maybe your backbends will feel incredible. No matter what happens today, can you cultivate a little compassion for yourself and patience with your process and your practice? You're going to be your own constant companion on this adventure, so let's make sure you're in kind company, shall we?

Fun Power Flow
By Angela Kukhahn on Jun 23, 2021
When you don't have a ton of time but want an energizing, heat-building flow with lots of options to get upside down! Optional handstands are peppered throughout this power flow along with standing balance and lots of twists. When we're nice and warm, two blocks may help you find the transition from tripod headstand to koundinyasana 1. Whatever happens, this flow packs in the fun and the heat!

Big Feelings Breakthrough
By Ally Hamilton on May 31, 2021
This practice is all about breathing through intense sensation. This is the way we practice for breathing through intense emotion, including grief, loss, longing, the fear that can arise around change, and all the other "big" feelings we go through as human beings. The pace is mindful and steady and you can expect long holds in some poses so we can practice breathing and staying open even as we're experiencing some of those big feelings! Lots of hip-opening once we're warm - standing frog variations lead to frog on the mat, along with options for intermediate to very advanced hip openers (please listen to your knees and do not do anything that hurts!) This class was in response to a request - please know I LOVE requests! Enjoy, yogis, and keep breathing.

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!
