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!

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!
