Visvamitrasana a.k.a. "Flying Warrior" flow. Visvamitrasana which seems like a hybrid between side angle warrior and side plank can be somewhat intimidating. In this flow we aim to break it down into bite size pieces and make it fun! We start with some sun salutes and then move into a juicy hip opening flow that includes lots of low lunge variations, half splits and gate pose to tenderize the hips and prepare them for the this big arm balance/hip opener. We also play with flying pigeon, full side plank with the toe grab and much more! Enjoy!

Take Aim + Open Wide

Vinyasa Flow Advanced

Hips, hamstrings and wide open backbends, anyone? Grab two blocks and a strap, and get ready to play. Arm balances, a little chin stand if you dig it, and some deep, delicious backbends for the win. Enjoy, yogis!

Hinge Happiness

By Angela Kukhahn on Dec 3, 2024

Hatha Intermediate

This is a workshop-style class designed for people who have a hard time hingeing at the hips, holding down dog with straight arms and a long spine, coming up to a halfway lift with a flat back, and generally finding freedom in the spine (and often the shoulders and hamstrings as well) as they flow. This is the kind of session that will make such a huge difference if you make it part of your regular rotation. Two blocks and some kind of pole (broomstick or anything along those lines) are needed. Enjoy, yogis!

Blocks + Binds Party

By Kate Duyn on Nov 22, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Advanced

Let's have a block party, shall we? Grab a couple, and we'll use them for deep core work, fun arm balances, and a great assist as we open the hips, hamstrings, IT band and shoulders - so we can play with twists, binds, standing balance, some deeper backbends, balancing on our hands, and balancing in our hearts, too.

Obstacles as Blessings

By Kate Duyn on Oct 16, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Advanced

A Ganesha-inspired practice designed to free the path in front of you, so energy can flow in spite of obstacles (or because of them). Expect standing balance, arm balance and head balance :) Core strength, breath, and creativity. Grab six (!) blocks if you have them. If not, you can get away with two! Enjoy, yogis!

Hips + Inner Thighs FTW

By Angela Kukhahn on Oct 5, 2024

Hi yogis! This is a quick, energizing, thorough flow targeting hip, hamstring and inner-thigh opening. You can also count on shoulder opening and deep core engagement as we go. Enjoy! Great for mornings, or any time you want something short, sweet and deep! You may benefit from having 2 blocks and a strap handy if you need them!

Avengers Assemble Flow

By Kate Duyn on Oct 2, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Advanced

This practice is about protecting yourself from toxic energy. We start with the Brahma Mudra to assert our own power while we open the heart space. Brahma is the energy of creation, so as we flow we'll work with the idea of elimination. Sometimes we need to release old stories or current thoughts that aren't serving us, and sometimes toxic energy is coming at us from the environment. Either way, we can't be our best selves or help anyone else if we're bogged down in that stuff, so get ready to flow, sweat, breathe, release and walk away from your mat feeling open - knowing that you've cultivated strength and are ready to release what isn't serving you, and face anything that comes your way.

Action-Packed Flow

By Kate Duyn on Sep 17, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Advanced

The yoga of action, or kriya - yoga IN action! Yoga is something you do, unifying takes energy, commitment, determination and focus, and that's what this practice is all about. Get ready to open your hamstrings, hips and shoulders, and get centered so we can play with headstand and monkey around a bit. Lots of twists and standing balance, too. Let's get to work!

Short, Sweet + Thorough

By Angela Kukhahn on Aug 28, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Hello yogis! This is a short flow, but it's very sweet and very thorough! We're going to work on hamstring and inner thigh flexibility, but we're also going to open the shoulders, upper back and hips, and play with visvamitrasana or the building blocks to get you on your way! Please grab two blocks and a strap, and let's play!

Interior Spaces

By Kate Duyn on Aug 16, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Advanced

We're going deep today and you're going to want a strap and a blanket, folks! Expect to find some muscles you didn't know you had, and to draw power from your core in creative and unexpected ways. Bhekasana hops into the mix when we're nice and warm. Ribbit, ribbit. Enjoy, yogis!
