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

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!

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

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!

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!
