A flow that's all about balance! If you can find it on your mat, it will be easier to find it in your life, and even if you wobble all over the place today, you can practice breathing through unsteadiness which is always a good skill to work on! You can expect time standing on one leg in many different ways, core work, sweat, laughter and deep breath. Two blocks will be helpful, along with a strap! Enjoy yogis, and keep breathing.

Hip Happy Flow

By Ally Hamilton on May 6, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

I said this would be short, but once I got going it felt so good, I kept going, so this is an hour-long flow. Sorry not sorry :) This is a flow to release your hips, hamstrings, psoas and IT bands which will feel great for everyone, and (bonus!) ought to help anyone after a long day of travel, after a run, or a long hike - or anyone who might be dealing with a little sciatic pain. I felt 95% better after this. Don't let the slower start fool you. We spend the first 15 minutes on the floor releasing the hips and hamstrings in a targeted, progressive way, then we move into some intense core work, surprise! Then we get moving with a fun, heat-building flow, and end with arm balances, backbends, and more hip and hamstring opening. You may benefit from a strap and blanket, you will want a couple of blocks. Enjoy, yogis!

Strong, Feel-Good Flow

By Lauren Peterson on May 5, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

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.

Short, Sweet, Sweat

By Ally Hamilton on Apr 5, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

You know those days when you don't have a lot of time, but really want your practice? Me, too! How about some deep, conscious breathing, your keen attention to sensation from moment-to-moment, hip, shoulder, and hamstring opening, core strengthening, back-bending and arm balancing with a nice savasana all in 28 minutes? Sound good? Awesome, let's do it. You might want a couple of blocks to "lift the floor up." Enjoy, yogis!

We Like to Move It

By Angela Kukhahn on Mar 14, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

A little "movement snack" for days when you're short on time but want to get your heart pumping and your breath flowing, and use the heat to open your shoulders, hips, hamstrings and quads! We play with standing balance and inversions, too. Who says you can't get a lot done in 16 minutes? Not Angela!

Side Body Length + Strength

By Angela Kukhahn on Feb 27, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Wanna work on a little side-body length and strength? Me, too! Grab a couple of blocks and a strap and let's play. You can dial this practice up or down depending on your energy level and how open you're feeling. Maybe you'll head into visvamitrasana or the building blocks to get there, but we'll definitely open it all up, strengthen the core and walk away feeling energized and centered.

Steady Heart, Open Hips

By Ally Hamilton on Feb 4, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

A practice for these times, friends. We start with some grounding, breathing, and awareness of sensation so we can get present. Then we head into an energizing flow that targets shoulder, hip and hamstring opening, with extra love for your hips. Eka pada koundinyasana 2 is in the playlist today, along with the building blocks to get there, or hip-opening options if you need to take it easy today. Core strengthening, but of course. And a reminder to cultivate compassion and friendliness toward yourself, so essential right now. Sending you lots of love.

Flow to Center

By Lauren Peterson on Jan 31, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

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 :)

Fresh Start Flow

By Josie Kramer on Jan 19, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Enjoy a well-rounded flow that focuses on embracing the present moment as the ultimate fresh start. What to expect: a gentle warm up, sun salutations, standing poses, arm balancing, core strengthening, and heart and hip opening, with a friendly reminder that every breath offers a new beginning. (This was filmed the week before the wildfires, thus the upbeat tone and theme. Though we will need to begin again and again out here, no doubt. Love to all xx)

Flying Pigeon Flow

By Angela Kukhahn on Jan 19, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

This is a fun, thorough, energizing, hip-opening flow that leads to flying pigeon (and gives you the building blocks to get there if you aren't quite ready to take flight yet). You will notice a wildfire alert go off about halfway through this class, because that's how life has been out here this last week. This was filmed before we knew how bad things would get. We are all okay, thankfully, we are all breathing and practicing, heartbroken and grief stricken and sending you love, nonetheless. We appreciate all the love in return very much.
