We are all asymmetrical. Sensing what's off-kilter in our pelvis and core is especially tricky to pinpoint. This practice uses blocks to help us feel our center. Think of the block as the friend you can trust to tell you the truth and set you straight. These insights give us options to consider: What feedback am I missing? Where do I need to be stronger? Where might I need to be softer? What can I change? What can I accept? Do I need new friends? ;) How can we better support ourselves and each other so that we all feel a little more centered?

Free Your Shoulders

By Leslie Kazadi on Jan 17, 2023

Gentle Yoga Beginner

Our shoulders are the teenagers of our body - they wanna be free but that freedom gets them into all kinds of trouble. If your shoulders are the troubled teens of your body, they may need some structured support to set them free. We start slow and easy to sort out where the trouble spots are. Then we play with a strap and use other tricks to help focus attention on what's happening with the shoulders. We explore all the ways the shoulders move. Then we set them free in an easy vinyasa C to feel the shifts that happen when we give our attention to the places where we are stuck.

Bind to Unwind Part 1

By Dhaujee Rose on Jan 9, 2023

Hatha Beginner

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.

Head to Toe Slow Flow

By Dhaujee Rose on Aug 30, 2022

Hatha Beginner

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.

Shoulder Opening + Twists

By Ekaette Ekong on Aug 18, 2022

Hatha Beginner

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!

Wheels Up in 30

By Leslie Kazadi on Jun 26, 2022

Gentle Yoga Beginner

In a perfect world, a backbend creates a perfect arc that opens the front body without any compression to the spine. A fitness ball gives you the support and feedback to create that arc, for a more spacious backbend with much greater ease. If you struggle to get your wheel up off the ground, the ball is a great way to build strength with the ball beneath as a safety net. OR skip it and stay in the yummy, supported extended bridge. Wait for the ball under your belly for the easiest plank of your life. And stay for the sweet savasana with legs on the ball.

Hatha Beginner

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!

All About Balance

By Ekaette Ekong on Feb 7, 2022

Hatha Beginner

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!

Sweet Strength

By Ekaette Ekong on Jan 21, 2022

Hatha Beginner

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!
