We Like to Move It

By Angela Kukhahn on Mar 14, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

A little "movement snack" for days when you're short on time but want to get your heart pumping and your breath flowing, and use the heat to open your shoulders, hips, hamstrings and quads! We play with standing balance and inversions, too. Who says you can't get a lot done in 16 minutes? Not Angela!

Side Body Length + Strength

By Angela Kukhahn on Feb 27, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Wanna work on a little side-body length and strength? Me, too! Grab a couple of blocks and a strap and let's play. You can dial this practice up or down depending on your energy level and how open you're feeling. Maybe you'll head into visvamitrasana or the building blocks to get there, but we'll definitely open it all up, strengthen the core and walk away feeling energized and centered.

Steady Heart, Open Hips

By Ally Hamilton on Feb 4, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

A practice for these times, friends. We start with some grounding, breathing, and awareness of sensation so we can get present. Then we head into an energizing flow that targets shoulder, hip and hamstring opening, with extra love for your hips. Eka pada koundinyasana 2 is in the playlist today, along with the building blocks to get there, or hip-opening options if you need to take it easy today. Core strengthening, but of course. And a reminder to cultivate compassion and friendliness toward yourself, so essential right now. Sending you lots of love.

Flow to Center

By Lauren Peterson on Jan 31, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

This is an intermediate-to-advanced flow where you can dial things up or down based on your level, and what feels right today. Emphasis is on core strength, and we'll start out on the floor with a block, and feel our way right into that center! Once we're on our feet, you can expect lots of opportunities to play with balance and flexibility, and plenty of front and back-body opening so that you walk away from your mat feeling centered and balanced and ready for whatever comes your way. Give yourself this time to be right where you are, strong in your center, breathing. Enjoy, yogis! 2 blocks and a strap might be helpful, one block is necessary :)

Fresh Start Flow

By Josie Kramer on Jan 19, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Enjoy a well-rounded flow that focuses on embracing the present moment as the ultimate fresh start. What to expect: a gentle warm up, sun salutations, standing poses, arm balancing, core strengthening, and heart and hip opening, with a friendly reminder that every breath offers a new beginning. (This was filmed the week before the wildfires, thus the upbeat tone and theme. Though we will need to begin again and again out here, no doubt. Love to all xx)

Flying Pigeon Flow

By Angela Kukhahn on Jan 19, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

This is a fun, thorough, energizing, hip-opening flow that leads to flying pigeon (and gives you the building blocks to get there if you aren't quite ready to take flight yet). You will notice a wildfire alert go off about halfway through this class, because that's how life has been out here this last week. This was filmed before we knew how bad things would get. We are all okay, thankfully, we are all breathing and practicing, heartbroken and grief stricken and sending you love, nonetheless. We appreciate all the love in return very much.

Overall Strength + Stretch

By Lauren Peterson on Jan 9, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

We start slow, then flow. Lots of stretching, strength, standing poses with an emphasis on hips and sacrum. Enjoy eagle and cow faced pose. Finish up with backbends, an inversion, and twists.

In with the New (Year)

By Ally Hamilton on Dec 30, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Hello friends! This is a shorter version of a class I do in person at the end of one year, moving into the beginning of another. We begin with a steady flow to get the breath and energy moving, and open up every major muscle group. It's an intermediate, slower flow with lots of time to feel your feelings and breathe deeply. Savasana happens in a restorative heart opener. Then I give you some journaling prompts to check in with yourself and get clear about where you are now - how you're feeling in your life, whether there are any habits you want take a look at, what it is you'd like to release and what you want to cultivate in the new year. You'll need a pen and paper :) I hope you enjoy, and I'm sending you my best wishes for 2025 <3
