In this practice we will use twists, backbends and core work to both massage and strengthen the muscles of the abdomen and low back. To prepare for this work we will use twists and a simple flow to let go of tension and welcome in strength. Peak poses to strengthen the core include Chaturanga Dandasana and Urdhva Prasarita Padasana (Leg Lifts)

A short and sweet practice to get your mind and body warmed up and ready for action... enjoy! *Beginners' note: when we get to the option on the floor to have your foot on your inner thigh, or to sit on your heel, please keep your foot on your inner thigh :)

Whether you're new to yoga or been practicing for years, it's always a good idea to make sure your foundation is solid. The goal with this practice is to slow down, feel deeply and give yourself time to let your mind get calm. Enjoy!

In this offering, Dhaujee moves us through beginning binds that can help us open up in other areas of the body. The practice starts with intention setting and recognizing how we process binds in the real world. Then, we move through gentle twists, binds and holds to build the breath and find openness throughout the body. This practice ends with a sweet meditation and mudra practice to seal our intention. Grab your strap or the belt to your robe to support you in this beautiful opening practice.

A full practice that invigorates from head to toe! We begin with a short standing meditation, then the asana practice opens with balance postures. From there we continue through a slow sequence that opens and extends the entire body. Perfect if you want some deep, focused stretches in a shorter flow.

This is a mindful flow where the pace is sweet and steady and the focus is on the shoulders. We'll build some heat and open up across the chest, shoulders and whole front body, including the quadriceps. We'll engage the core and play with standing balance including crescent pose, and find our way into some twists. Two blocks, a strap and a blanket will be helpful!

This is a mixed-level grounding hatha class where we focus on breath and sensation to quiet the mind, and make shapes mindfully to open the body. Great for days when you're feeling a bit anxious or overwhelmed. Detailed cues will give your mind plenty to focus on, and smart sequencing will leave you feeling good.

A beautiful, mindful, delicious way to start your day, open up your body, and quiet your mind. Hips, shoulders and hamstrings get some love, and two blocks, a strap and a blanket will be helpful, though you can always improvise! Have a wonderful day, yogis!

Finding balance within your body, mind and breath is really the thing, isn't it? That's what this practice is all about. Can you breathe calmly and steadily even if you're feeling unsteady? Can you stay balanced in your mind even when you're a little wobbly in your body? Grab a block or two and let's work on it!

This practice is about your "back body" which simply means we'll be targeting your shoulders, upper back, glutes and hamstrings, but we'll also be balancing things out by opening across the chest, and strengthening the core and quadriceps. We'll be working toward dolphin pose and dolphin plank pose. Two blocks and a strap will be helpful as we build strength and breathe together!

This is a gentle but deep practice for all levels that focuses on forward folds. This is a beautiful class do to at the end of your day, or anytime you want to deeply calm your nervous system and open your hips, hamstrings and shoulders. Forward folding is an invitation to tune in, slow down, and be with yourself in a curious and compassionate way. Please breathe deeply and mindfully and have two blocks, a strap and a blanket handy. Enjoy, yogis.
