This class is focused on the posterior hips - the glutes and the hamstrings. We will stretch and strengthen these areas and learn how these muscles can affect the health of our knees and ankles. This is a Foundational Flow class which means we will move at a slower pace but it's expected that you are familiar with the poses and the breath and have been practicing regularly for some time!

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Medium heat/deep hips. Perfect for days when you really need to get centered, breathe deeply, build some nice heat, and open it all up! Nothing too crazy, just the right amount to release and remember who you are! If you're feeling anxious or you're dealing with racing thoughts or having a day with too much sitting, emailing and/or adulting, this is for you!

Just Right

By Ally Hamilton on Apr 4, 2022

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

If you're looking fir an hour-long practice that has a good balance of energizing/heat-building and deep stress relief, look no further! We get to it pretty quickly with Series C variations to build heat, core strengthening to amp things up, hip opening to get ready for some fun standing balance poses, and arm balances and backbends before we cool things down. Lots of emphasis on paying attention to sensation and working with your own energy level. You can turn the heat up or down accordingly. This practice is not too much or too little, it is just right :)
