Practice Like You Mean It
By Brent Laffoon on Dec 4, 2025
Hello, yogis! Welcome to a heat-building, sweat-inducing, energizing, fun flow! This practice definitely has advanced options and transitions, for example, we'll be playing with handstands and eka pada koundinyasana 2, and you may decide to try a transition from one to the other...or you may not! Intermediate students are welcome! The idea is to stay open to the possibilities. It would be odd and probably not very helpful if you could do everything easily...unless you were looking for a practice that was about maintenance or calming your nervous system or something that was more yin. But when you want a challenge...hopefully you're going to find a few things that are...well...challenging! That's how we grow. Two blocks and a strap may be helpful for some. You may want the wall for your handstands. Make it work, keep breathing, and let's do this.

Turbo Flow with Kate
By Kate Duyn on Nov 24, 2025
Greetings, yogis! Welcome to your turbo flow with Kate! Your shoulders, upper back and core are about to feel some feelings! Your hips and hamstrings are about to open. There are all kinds of fun surprises along the way, vasistasana 3 if you'd like it, eka pada koundinyasana 2, dolphin pose presses, and jackknife forearm stand variations using a wall. Please use a wall and not a door because we love you. Also, this is Ally. I found this incredibly sweet opener of Kate's when I was editing this class, and sometimes life is amazing like that. The gratitude I feel for Kate, all the teachers on the site, and all of you is so enormous there isn't enough space here to hold it. But I thank you. And Kate, I love you xx

Big+Juicy Backbends
By Kate Duyn on Nov 5, 2025
All right, yogis! This is a heat-building, joy-building flow that leads to some deep, big, juicy backbends! We'll be playing with extension and flexion throughout the practice and breathing deeply in so many ways! Expect breath of joy, Tibetan breath, lion's breath, and of course, ujayii breath -- breathe big! We'll play with ustrasana, monkey pose, anjaneyasana variations, and ways to put it all together if it feels right. Sometimes you feel like celebrating.

Lord of the Dance pose is the peak, along with optional drop-backs. A block and a strap will be helpful. Enjoy, yogis!

Keep Comin' Back Flow
By Brent Laffoon on Jul 19, 2025
Hello friends! Join Brent for this feel-good flow that will open up every major muscle group and help you develop deeper awareness about where you're feeling strong and open, and where you might still have room to grow. Maybe the standing balance poses come easy to you, and the twists feel open, but the inversions present a challenge. Or maybe the inversions are happening, but the binds are out of reach (see what I did there?) This practice invites you to consider - if something is stopping me from finding a pose, what is it? Is it a lack of strength, or a lack of confidence? Is it tightness in your shoulders, or is there room to strengthen your core? There's no rush, you don't have to figure it all out in one session...you can keep comin' back! Maybe save this to your favorites and practice until the poses that aren't coming easily start to reveal themselves to you. You might want a couple of blocks and a strap. Enjoy!
