A Flow for the Holidaze

By Ally Hamilton on Nov 28, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

This is a full-body flow with extra love for the hips and hamstrings. The holidays can be a joyful time of year, but they can also be a time where you feel longing, grief or family stress. We'll spend some time calming the nervous system, focusing on mindful breath, and cultivating gratitude for however things may be right now, even if they're hard. Just being able to meet yourself where you are is something to celebrate. There are chances to play with standing balance and arm balances, and options if you need or want to dial things down. Send you so much love.

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.

Calm, Open, and Balanced

By Ally Hamilton on Nov 19, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

We open with a short (7 minute) talk about yoga philosophy including the Yama and Niyama, in particular ahimsa, satya, svadhyaya, and the concept of non-attachment. Also the very human experience of being attached to loved ones and their well-being. Then we head into a flow that targets the hips, shoulders and hamstrings. We have some deep core strengthening, and opportunities to play with tripod headstand variations and arm balances including firefly and bhujapidasana. We close the practice with alternate nostril breathing so you walk away from your mat feeling calm and balanced. Love to all xx

Breathe + Stay Curious

By Ally Hamilton on Nov 1, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

This practice opens with a short (4 minute) talk about attachment and non-attachment, the sandwich generation, loss, grief, change - and how cultivating curiosity is the best and easiest way to move through it all (which doesn't mean it's easy, just easier). We then move into a dancing warrior flow that targets hip and shoulder opening, standing balance, core strength, backbends, deep stretching, and inversions. Try to stay curious about what you're feeling as you move from shape to shape, and let your deep breath be the foundation. Quick note - we are replacing a mixer, but I went ahead and filmed without it. I know the sound is a little echo-y, but I don't think it will be distracting. Love to all as we navigate whatever losses come our way x

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

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

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!
