Nobody can make you feel anything unless you let them - but if you let me, I'm about to make you feel lots of things! Tons of core strengthening, standing balance, bandha work, eagle pose, standing spilts, twists on our feet and in arm balances (a little tutorial in eka pada koundinyasana which you can turn into dwi pada and/or fallen angel), chaturanga pushup crunches, marichyasana on your feet, a tutorial in transitioning from crow pose to tripod headstand, and handstand work! The pace is steady, this is a practice that will gently and continually demand your focus as we explore the topics of how much we allow ourselves to be swayed by what's happening around us, how much we take things personally, and how much better we feel when we retain our center and our power. Sometimes you need to detox your body and your mind!! Enjoy, yogis!

Flow + Deep Stretch

By Noelle Beaugureau on Jul 4, 2020

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Find the ultimate sense of balance, strength and serenity in this Flow and Deep Stretch practice. Side body opening is the focus. We create heat through sun salutations and standing poses that integrate release in the shoulders and waist. A deeply meditative practice for when you need to slow down, re-group and reclaim a sense of peace. Namaste !

Mindful Movement

By Ally Hamilton on Jul 4, 2020

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Let’s get flowing with sun salutes, standing poses and arm balances that all target hip-opening. Pay attention to your breath, sensations in your body, and the quality you’re bringing to whatever variation of each pose you’re choosing. Strengthen your center and get upside down with ease. It took me the entire class to get one audible chuckle, but I did not give up, because laughter is the best medicine! Here we go!

HIPnotic

By Ally Hamilton on Jun 26, 2020

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Debating between intermediate or advanced for this one because the hip-opening is deep and I want those of you with knee issues to listen to your bodies! Please don't force anything. A nice steady pace to build heat as we open the hips more and more along the way. This is a well-balanced flow with core strengthening, backbends (they felt SO good) and a long tripod headstand, but there is no doubt the focus is deep hip-opening you'll feel for daaaaays. Marichyasana variations are the dessert we're heading toward, but there are a lot of delectables along the way. Enjoy!

Feel Your Feelings

By Ally Hamilton on Jun 22, 2020

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Use your practice to approach your fear, avoidance, or tendency to “sit on” your rage…or your joy! Lots of upper back, shoulder, hip and hamstring opening, along with core strengthening, and plenty of time to play with arm balances and inversions. Who’s afraid? Great, let’s do it!

Heartstrings & Hamstrings

By Ally Hamilton on Jun 13, 2020

Vinyasa Flow Advanced

Open your upper back, shoulders, muscles across your chest, and space at the front and back of your heart in this flow that opens the front body and the back body (hi there, hamstrings), fires up your core strength, and kicks it upside down. Think eagle pose, standing splits, Eka Pada K 1, dwi pada, lots of twists, and handstands for fun. Cupid has nothing on you ;)

The Heart of the Matter

By Ally Hamilton on Jun 7, 2020

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." Maya Angelou This practice is slow, steady and deep. I came to the mat without a plan and did the practice I needed. If you want to deeply open your shoulders, upper back, chest, hips and hamstrings, this is it. I felt a lot of tension in my shoulders and upper back releasing as I moved, and I hope you will, too. I felt a lot of emotional tension release as well. I did talk openly about what's happening in the world right now in the context of heart-opening and the yoga of action. Two blocks are handy but not necessary. Love to all, may we be gentle with ourselves but resolute.

Dive Deep & Let Go

By Noelle Beaugureau on Jun 3, 2020

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

This steady and mindful practice will help you feel less stressed and better overall! We dive deep into lunges and hamstring openers. We use slow-moving breath and sequencing to open some of the tightest areas of the body. Finish off with a relaxing heart opener on blocks and restore the body/mind in a healing Savasana!

Medium Heat Juicy Flow

By Ally Hamilton on Jun 1, 2020

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

A medium-heat flow for medium-energy days! You'll get a nice deep stretch in this well-rounded practice, but you can turn the heat up or down depending on how you feel! Please be good to yourself out there. I know these are such sad and scary times, but it's so important to tune in, breathe, calm your nervous system, open your heart and then get back out there and see how you can work to make the world a more loving and peaceful place <3

Making Shapes/Staying Calm

By Ally Hamilton on May 25, 2020

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Super sweaty, deep hip opening, arm balancing fun. Fire up your core and your upper body and play on your hands. The way it looks is not the thing. The thing is what you're bringing to the situation!
