In this short session we engage in quick bursts of energy to strengthen and build heat, followed by intermittent rests to recover. This concentrated practice demands focus and mental flexibility (since it's shorter, there's less time to build heat, so be sure to listen to your body if something feels like too much!). Great for a day when you need a short strong practice.

This is a practice I do if I'm short on time! Great for morning as we will start with the Ashtanga warm-up - Sun Salutes and standing poses. Great for evening as we finish the practice with restorative poses on a bolster. Long slow holds and full deep breaths. Enjoy! Lauren

This class is a strong (but not too strong) class to make you feel good! What to expect: We open with hips and hamstrings. Move into some core strengthening. Once standing we do some sun salutations, a long standing pose flow, a balance pose, twists...and more hips! We finish with backbends and inversions. What you need: If you have tighter hamstrings grab a strap and block. Maybe a blanket for one-legged king pigeon pose prep and shoulder stand. Be sure to take a nice savanna :) Enjoy.

Hello yogis! Join Lauren for an energizing flow with lots of love for the hips, hamstrings and shoulders, twists and turns, core strengthening, fun explorations of marichyasana, compass pose, and eight angle pose, drop-backs and jump-throughs if you want them, and a very sweet Savasana. Two blocks may be helpful. Enjoy!

This is an intermediate-to-advanced flow where you can dial things up or down based on your level, and what feels right today. Emphasis is on core strength, and we'll start out on the floor with a block, and feel our way right into that center! Once we're on our feet, you can expect lots of opportunities to play with balance and flexibility, and plenty of front and back-body opening so that you walk away from your mat feeling centered and balanced and ready for whatever comes your way. Give yourself this time to be right where you are, strong in your center, breathing. Enjoy, yogis! 2 blocks and a strap might be helpful, one block is necessary :)

This is a balanced practice, with flow. We start slowly, stretching and engaging in core work. Emphasis on the hips and inner groins. Once on our feet we move into sun salutations, incorporating standing poses and twists. I sprinkle in side arm balance and half moon pose, to challenge strength and balance. We finish with backbends and the option for shoulder stand or a modified inversion, before savasana. Enjoy! Lauren

Next we have some twists and quad stretches before getting on our feet for standing poses and flow. We finish with backbends and inversions. An all around stretchy string class. Enjoy!

We start chilling in Reclined Bound Angle pose on blocks. The class gradually picks up steam with twists, core work, standing poses and sun salutations. We add more hips, side plank and some balance poses. You are sure to get a full, balanced practice. Enjoy!

The focus of this flow class is the core and twists. We do some stretching and strengthening on the floor, moving up to the feet. Once standing we do a few rounds of Uddiyana Bandha, a navel lock. This is great for discovering and toning the core. Next we flow with some sun salutations, a bit more core work and standing poses. We breathe our way toward some arm balances as an extension of base poses. Even if you don't get up in bakasana or revolved koundinyasana, you will be setting the foundation for them with squats and twists. Enjoy!
