This practice focuses on healthy striving while letting go of perfectionism. As you flow through the class, listen to your body. The most challenging option is not necessarily better. What's best is offering love to yourself! Enjoy a challenging vinyasa practice that you can work at your own pace. Explore stability, explore feeling with the movement and staying centered as you move. Sun salutations, standing poses, heart and hip opening, inversions, and a cool down are all part of this class. Namaste!

Slow Steady Self-Care

By Ally Hamilton on Sep 12, 2018

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Are you always rushing, maybe even through your yoga practice? Sometimes it's hard to slow down because we have so many places to be, things to do, and people counting on us, but self-care is the last thing to sacrifice! Take a little time for yourself with this steady, thorough flow where we'll open every major muscle group at a pace that builds heat, but also gives you enough time to be really curious about how you feel and what you need from moment to moment, and maybe even to be sweet to yourself. After the flow and standing sequence, we'll hit the floor for backbends, core strengthening and deep hip and hamstring opening with a special appearance by your friend and mine, the frog!

Doorway to Spirit

By Josie Kramer on Sep 4, 2018

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

The entry point of spiritual practice in yoga is the body. With this in mind, approach your body as a doorway for healing at deeper levels of your being. Set a positive intention around what you want to strengthen, release or heal whether it’s physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. With that as your foundation, enjoy a well-rounded vinyasa practice with plenty of flow! Stay connected with your breath as you move from a gentle warm up, to a heat-building sequence and then to a gentle cool down. Finishing in Savasana, enjoy!

Open Mind/Open Hips

By Ally Hamilton on Sep 1, 2018

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Do you have stories you tell yourself about what you can or can’t do, or how things would be different if only? Ha. Me too! Let’s dig into those stories, which are often old and frequently untrue as we open the hips, shoulders and hamstrings, strengthen the core and our own resolve to check ourselves, and take things upside down for fun. That sounds like a good story time, right?

Rx for Shoulder Tension

By Ally Hamilton on Aug 27, 2018

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

If you feel like you're carrying tension in your shoulders, neck, upper back and/or across your chest, my goodness is this for you! That kind of holding on can spread to tightness in the jaw and eyebrows and even lead to headaches! Let's get in there and open it all up. A block and a strap would be great (you can take the class without them, though). While we approach this area and breathe it open, we'll also explore the ideas of communicating openly and honestly, and learning how to act on our own behalf. Sometimes (not always) physical holding is a manifestation of emotional holding. If you tend to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, you're going to feel a lot better after this, Atlas!

Can You Roll With It?

By Ally Hamilton on Aug 20, 2018

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Can you roll with it? We humans love to make our plans, and life loves to turn our plans upside down. How about we get upside down calmly right now, so we have the tools to look at things from different perspectives, the ability to be at ease during transitions, and to have compassion for ourselves when things don't go the way we expected? Sound good? Great, unroll your mat and let's jam.
