We take it slow in this hip and heart focused practice. There are so many emotions tucked away in these spaces of our body, so we move gently to offer an intentional release. Approach and work through discomfort in the asanas with gentle holds and deep breaths. Leave this practice feeling open physically and emotionally. Hope you enjoy! *Please note, if gomukhasana doesn't feel right for your knees, you can thread the needle on your back instead!

Decompression Chamber

By Ally Hamilton on Mar 6, 2024

Gentle Yoga Beginner

Hello yogis! You know those days when you feel totally depleted, either physically or mentally or sometimes both? Yeah, this practice is for those days! If you need to decompress, soothe your nervous system, breathe deeply and get a nice deep stretch, this is for you. This is also a great evening practice, or post-run or hike. The only moment of "work" here is some very deep core engagement (with or without a resistance band) and I do mean just a moment. I felt the need for that deep strengthening with a lot of chill around it :) Hope you enjoy.

Drawing Your Feelings

By Jessica Jablonski on Dec 30, 2023

Gentle Yoga Beginner

(If the kids are off of school right now, we have you covered! And you might want to join in :)) All Ages! Are you having BIG feelings? Me, too! Sometimes we have big feelings of joy, excitement, happiness or anticipation, and other times we have big feelings of sadness, anger, fear, or frustration. Whatever your big feelings might be, the important thing is to work with the way we feel! Pretending not to be scared won't make our fear go away. In this class, we're going to draw our big feelings and then work with them in our bodies! We'll give them a way to come to the surface so we realize ALL feelings are okay, we just have to figure out why we feel the way we do, and what to do with the feelings we have. Ready? Grab some paper and crayons and let's play!

Quick Yogi Reset

By Ally Hamilton on Dec 30, 2023

Gentle Yoga Beginner

If you spend a lot of time at your desk and/or if you've tweaked your lower back, this is a very simple, very gentle session that is all about the essentials: your spinal health, movements that will relieve a sore low back, open your hip flexors if you do a lot of sitting at a desk, release your wrists and forearms, and give your neck, chest, shoulders, hips and hamstrings a gentle stretch. Intended as a break during your day and not a full practice, or for a little gentle stretching before bed, this session will help the most if you focus on deep breathing throughout.

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

In this dynamic offering, Dhaujée invites you to find your flow. Each day looks different for us - our bodies show up differently to every yoga practice, our breath moves and changes as we move through life's changes, and that's okay! Explore your breath and physical flow as we move through yummy hip and heart openers. Options to add or subtract variations to find a pace and flow that feels good to you!
