A sweaty, challenging, super fun flow with Brent, focused on hip mobility and core stability. Get ready to play with some of your old friends in new ways, challenge your balance, find muscles you didn't know you had, and work some deep core stabilizing muscles while you increase your hip mobility. Good stuff. Two blocks may be helpful. Enjoy, yogis!

It is an honor just to be in a body living this life, and it is so easy to forget! Join Kate for a cosmic, fiery, twisty reminder. Grab two blocks and get ready to strengthen your core, open your hamstrings, hips and shoulders, play with balance in all kinds of creative ways, and step on your ego a little in the process. It's a good thing :) Enjoy, yogis!

Thought twice about whether to put this practice in the Meditation or Gentle Yoga section. Truthfully, it could be in both! This is a beautiful session that explores what happens when we sit and observe sensation in the body. The most consistent sensation is the breath. And the more we can attune our minds to noticing subtle sensation, the more we're able to be present, curious, and immersed in what's happening from moment-to-moment - in other words, the more able we are to suck the juice out of every moment. In this session, we intersperse deep stretching and breathing with periods of sitting quietly and breathing. There is hip opening with breath, then sitting. Shoulder-opening with breath, then sitting, breathing, and witnessing. There is hamstring opening and conscious breath, and seated meditation once again. Each time you stretch and breathe, and then sit and breathe, you may observe the mind as it quiets more easily and willingly, until the fluctuations cease, and your mind is smooth, like the most placid lake at sunrise, before even the birds are awake. Enjoy, yogis. You may want blocks, straps or blankets for any of the shoulder and hamstring opening.

Wanna cast some witchy circles of protection and peace with Kate? Grab a couple of blocks and a blanket, and get ready for some magic with Hanuman, funky astavakrasana and headstand as you create great energy from within, and ward off all the madness around us! Then you can get back out there with all your witchy ways and make good trouble. Enjoy, yogis.

Rainy days have their own vibes, don't they, friends? There's something cozy about being inside, on your mat, as the rain falls and your breath flows. This is a slow, sweet, stretchy practice that opens the shoulders, hips and hamstrings deeply, and really gives you the chance to feel your way into every moment. You might even walk away from your mat feeling a little sunshine in your heart. Two blocks and a strap may be helpful. Enjoy!

Lots of stuff to release as we navigate all kinds of twists and turns! Expect tons of hip and shoulder-opening along the way, core strengthening, and invitations to play with staying centered in many different circumstances. Keep your heart open, keep breathing, and grab all your props :) Enjoy, yogis!

A little bit of breath, a little bit of movement, and a meditation on sukha (an authentic, lasting state of happiness, pleasure, ease, or joy) versus dukha (the "mind-stuff" that can cause us suffering, pain, stress and dis-ease when we ruminate too much on the things outside our control). There's a tendency to focus on our physical state, and forget that most of our lives are experienced through our mental and emotional states. Spend some time finding ease in your body, and sweet steadiness in your mind. You may find it helpful to prop a blanket or meditation cushion under your tailbone, or to sit up on a block.

A thirty-minute hip-opening flow that also targets core strength, shoulder and hamstring opening, and handstand-play. If you're looking for an energizing, full-body flow with extra love for your hips, look no further :)

This is a short, sweet yin practice and the focus is...flexibility. There are always new studies coming out, but the general consensus is static stretching - meaning holding a position - for roughly thirty seconds while breathing deeply, is the way. We're going to be looking for that edge, that place where there's a lot of good sensation to work with, but we are not experiencing pain. Let your breath be your guide - if it's hard to breathe deeply and consciously, you've probably gone too far. Stay in the zone where you can breathe, and enjoy this exploration of sweet flexibility, friends. 2 blocks and a strap may be helpful.
