A very deep hamstring opener, so please move slowly and thoughtfully. It shouldn't hurt! We start in ardha hanumanasana, and work our way toward full splits (but please note, nothing magical happens when you get your situation to the floor, so don't rush!) When you have the basic idea, get started on the classes below that work this pose into a full flow!
Here are some classes featuring Monkey Pose.

Hello friends! This is a practice for times when you really want to slow down, breathe consciously, and open every major muscle group deeply. The pace is slow and steady. This is not a heat-building class, it's a class that's about grounding, calming the nervous system and feeling really good in your body. If you've had a tough day and/or if you're struggling with anxiety or insomnia, or you need something during your cycle, this is for you. Enjoy xx

In this full-body flow, we show gratitude to our minds, bodies and breath. Often we take for granted what the body can do for us. Here, Dhaujee invites you to play with strength, balance and fluidity to show gratitude for the many ways your body can shape-shift! Modifications and checkpoints are offered throughout so you can always check in. Your body will thank YOU when you're done with this beautiful flow!

We thought about naming this class "Kate Light" but there are a lot of advanced poses in this flow, it's really that the pace is slow and steady. Lots of options to open and stretch and calm your nervous system, with plenty of opportunity to explore standing balance and a little inverting, too. Enjoy, yogis!

Hand over that which is too much to carry! We start with a little alternate nostril breathing and then we are off! Keeping things centered, expect to play with pigeon pose, monkey pose, warrior 3 and forearm stand in funky ways. Two blocks will be helpful! Put the heavy things down, grab your mat and let's get a little lighter as we head into a new year, shall we?

This is an energizing detox flow with lots of twists and turns along the way. Hamstring, hip and shoulder-opening. Everything we play with right side up, we also play with upside down. It's a blast and there's plenty of deep breathing along the way so you will feel super centered (plus the core work, ha). Enjoy!

Do you tend to be a little tighter in the hips and hamstrings? Grab two blocks and let's make some magic happen! This practice is all about using the blocks to find space and freedom. Great for runners, bikers and hikers, or anyone who carries some tension in these places!

Legs feeling in need of a little strengthening and stretching? You've come to the right place. From squats to lunges to forward folds and splits, this practice has you covered. Take your time, breathe deep... and enjoy!

A classic 90-minute flow where we go deep into the hips, hamstrings, quadriceps and shoulders. Peak poses include monkey pose, a variation of one-legged king-pigeon, and forearm stand. Lots of grounding and breath-work throughout. Yoga Nidra in savasana.

This is a deep, slow flow where we will do some strengthening - think goddess pose reps holding a weight if you have one and side plank holds - but these are just fleeting moments of intensity in what is a mostly slow, mindful flow where we have enough time in each pose to really feel our feelings and breathe!

Intermediate yogis welcome and encouraged, just please pick the options that make sense for you along the way and always listen to your body! This is a playful backbend flow that will leave you feeling open and energized! We build lots of heat and open the hips, hamstrings, quadriceps, shoulders, chest and upper back so you are all set to explore some deeper backbends! If you're comfortable on your hands, we will incorporate backbends into our inversion practice (if not, I will give you tons of building blocks to work on). You can expect handstand and forearm stand with options to work at the wall. We will play with scorpion pose (again, I will show you how to approach at the wall if you're starting this exploration) and stag pose. Savasana is guaranteed to be sweet!
