In the class we target the hips and hamstrings, these are the areas we tend to store stress and tension and it can be difficult to get into the fascia and smaller muscles around theses areas , so prepare to breathe deeply and let go of this unnecessary tension! You will feel amazing when you do!

A Little Self-Love

By Brent Laffoon on Apr 29, 2024

Gentle Yoga Intermediate

A slow, gentle restorative practice to help you loosen up your hips and lower back and calm your mind and nervous system. Please note, if you have any knee issues, threading the needle on your back instead of some of the half-lotus and reclining gomukhasana options may be better for you. Golden rule, it shouldn't hurt... enjoy, yogis :)

The Big Chill 2

By Ally Hamilton on Apr 8, 2024

Gentle Yoga Intermediate

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

Sweet Dreams Anytime

By Ally Hamilton on Apr 22, 2023

Gentle Yoga Intermediate

This practice is in response to a member request! Katie was looking for a sweet, stretchy, end-of-day decompression kind of session that would calm the nervous system, release any tension from the day, and set her up for an excellent night of sleep. You can do this practice in the evening, or you can certainly do it anytime you feel the need for a deep release and nervous system reset. Two blocks are handy for restorative backbends. If you are doing this at night, feel free to practice in your pajamas and take savasana in bed! Sweet dreams, day or night, yogis xx

Lefkada Love Anytime

By Ally Hamilton on Apr 15, 2023

Gentle Yoga Intermediate

Friends, I shot this class on the last day of my retreat to Lefkada, Greece! It was an impromptu shoot on my phone and there's ambient noise, but I am hoping with all my heart that the magic of this place travels through the airwaves to meet you right where you are! I am still buzzing from this retreat, from this place, and from those of you who traveled across the globe to practice with me and share this adventure! Cannot WAIT for the next one! This is an all-levels 16-minute re-centering quickie perfect for any time you feel like your thoughts are racing and you need some conscious breathing, opening and grounding! We use sensation to get centered, and then encourage nice spinal energizing and mobility with seated cat-cow variations, eagle arms and extra shoulder, chest and upper back love, seated twists, forward folds, hip and hamstring releasing and a fair amount of breath-work! I hope whatever time of day you do this, you re-enter your space with more inspiration, motivation and a touch of Lefkada in your heart!
