The Power of Transformation

By Kate Duyn on Apr 2, 2021

Vinyasa Flow Advanced

A Shiva/third chakra-geared sequence designed to help us harness the power of transformation balancing Shiva and Shakti energies (masculine and feminine), so we can both embrace change as it happens, and also find the strength to change the things we want to shift! Whether you need to change your approach or the way you might habitually respond to situations in ways that aren't serving you, become your own alchemist in this practice! Think twists to wring yourself out, and backbends to open your heart to whatever may within you or around you! Fun shiva shapes, navasana for rocky waters, and a sense of humor along the way!

Hip + Shoulder Shakedown

By Ally Hamilton on Mar 30, 2021

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

If you're looking for a deep hip-and-shoulder release mixed into your well-rounded flow, look no further! If you've been sitting too much, we target all the areas that long to move! The shoulders, chest, upper back and neck, hip flexors and psoas, the quads and hamstrings, and of course, the all-important spine! You will find that you release energy you didn't know you had and find fluidity in your breath and in your body. A block might be handy, but isn't necessary. Enjoy, yogis!

High NRG in 20

By Ally Hamilton on Mar 19, 2021

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

By request, a flow for days when you're really short on time or struggling to focus, but want to get in your body and breathe, open every major muscle group, strengthen your core, take care of your spinal health (but also your emotional and mental health!) and then get back to the business of being awesome!

Take Up Space!

By Ally Hamilton on Mar 7, 2021

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

I had two variations of this sequence planned because I wasn't sure how much energy I had to work with - a high energy and a moderate energy version. This is NOT the moderate energy version :) This flow targets the outer hips and hamstrings. Think eagle pose, cow-faced pose, monkey pose, ardha badha padma paschimottanasana, lotus pose and more! I got a little emotional talking about the myth of Garuda and the idea that we should never shrink ourselves to make other people comfortable, thus the title of this class! I wavered between intermediate and advanced once again, but I offered modifications for the advanced poses, so please just listen to your body and enjoy this ride!

Tether Your Wild Horses

By Kate Duyn on Mar 2, 2021

Vinyasa Flow Advanced

Tame the wild horses of your mind and come into a state of single-pointed concentration, otherwise known as yoga! We will explore horse pose in this practice, so you will want a blanket! Along the way we'll open the hips, hamstrings and shoulders and you'll have opportunities to get upside down as well. Enjoy, yogis!

Blissful Backbends

By Ally Hamilton on Feb 22, 2021

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

If you're looking to deepen your backbend practice or understand backbends more deeply, look no further! We warm up the spine, open the shoulders, chest, upper back, quadriceps and hip flexors and play with all kinds of backbends! King Arthur makes an appearance, and you might find yourself in kapotasana or kapotasana prep! Regardless of where you end up, backbending practices have a unique energy! They are great for times when you need a boost of confidence, or are working with depression. There is such a shift in energy when you focus on opening the front body and leading with your heart! Enjoy yogis! (This is intermediate/advanced, but if you listen to your body and back off when you need to, intermediate practitioners will be fine :)) Enjoy, yogis!

Motivation Instigation

By Ally Hamilton on Feb 11, 2021

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

I filmed this class in response to a number of people who expressed they're struggling with motivation! I get it. We're in a strange set of circumstances and it's been this way for almost a year! It isn't easy and some days are harder than others, but I know there are some things that work! Changing your environment, shifting your perspective and working with your breath, it is possible to unlock energy you didn't know you had! I intended for this to be a shorter class, but once I got going, I felt so good I didn't want to stop! Join me for some breath-work, hip, hamstring and shoulder-opening, core strengthening, arm balancing fun. A surprise inversion at the end, too! We've got this!

Quads. 6-minute abs included because I know you love them, backbends, and all other manner of fun awaits you. Enjoy! Breathe! Rest after ;-)

A Peace Prayer

By Kate Duyn on Feb 3, 2021

Vinyasa Flow Advanced

From the mud we go! And from the mud we grow! This whole practice is a prayer for peace, for our evolution and eventual recognition that we are all one. Kriyas and breath work to energize and release as we open the chest, upper back and heart and head toward eka pada raja kapotasana! May we all open and rise up.
