Wish Fulfillment
By Kate Duyn on Mar 24, 2020
A story about the relationship between the sage Vashista and the King Visvamitra and the arm balances named after each of them! What draws you to your practice? Is it greater flexibility, core strength, these funky poses? Or are you after something deeper, like enlightenment? Lots of fun along the way as we prep for these arm balances and consider what it is that motivates us to show up on our mats every day! Whatever it is that draws you in the first place, there's no doubt the path is full of hard work and glorious surprises. Maybe you'll even end up with a wish-fulfilling cow! (Let us know if that happens for you!)

Dragonfly Flow
By Ally Hamilton on Mar 21, 2020
Well, we didn't stop moving very much at all, but we had a lot of fun filming this class for you! Want to really feel your outer hips? How about those adductors? We get it all with lots of fun along the way, so get ready to work and sweat, but also get ready to laugh! You might find yourself in flying pigeon, or dragonfly. You may end up in a handstand. You might say to yourself, how did I get here? This is how we do it, one practice at a time!

Brave Surrender
By Ally Hamilton on Mar 15, 2020
Lots of forward folds in our flow so we can work with the idea of a solid foundation and strong center. If you can't trust yourself, how can you have faith that you'll be able to rise to the occasion when life asks, or release situations and people when the nudges are there to move in a different direction? Open your hips, shoulders and hamstrings. Play with balance and strength. Fire up your core. Get upside down if you're ready. Surrender to a deep savasana. Trust yourself, and release your grip where you can.

Peace Prayer
By Kate Duyn on Feb 25, 2020
Lead us from the unreal to the real, from the darkness to the light, from the fear of death to the knowledge of immortality - bring us to that knowledge of oneness. We start with the asatoma sadgamaya prayer and move into a deep and fluid flow that opens the shoulders, upper back, chest, hips and hamstrings so we can play with funky eight-angle pose and one-legged-crow-meets-shayanasana :) Peace, yogis!

Brighten Up!
By Kate Duyn on Feb 13, 2020
This is an energizing flow designed to get you glowing from the inside out! We start with some circular breathing to get things moving and then we dive into the hips and hamstrings and play all over the mat! Included are some lotus variations with fun balance options (focus, focus!) and an opportunity to choose between self-loathing or self-loving. (Pick the second thing!) Scorpion forearm stand might be fun at the end. Enjoy yogis!
