Slow, productive progress leads to success here, friends. This is a nice, full-body adventure with a sweet, mindful pace. We are not racing through the feels, we're stopping to really tune in and see what's happening under the hood! The hips get a lot of love and you'll find you have options for lotus pose in unexpected places if it's part of your jam. The hamstrings and shoulders are also a focus, but more than anything, this is time to slow down and see how you are and what you need. Good stuff to know ;) Enjoy!

Twists + Turns

By Ally Hamilton on Apr 25, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Join me for a full-body awakening flow with some fun twists and turns so you can practice for them off the mat as well ;) Plenty of hip, hamstring and shoulder opening along with core strengthening so we can play with arm balances like koundinyasana 1 and dwi pada, and inversions including tripod headstand and handstand variations. The theme is listening to your body and your intuition, the best guides when you're dealing with twists and turns!

Hamstrings and Hips

By Lauren Peterson on Apr 15, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

We start on our backs with some hamstring warm ups and core work. We continue the hamstring stretches, adding inner groins and IT Band. Next we have some twists and quad stretches before getting on our feet for standing poses and flow. We finish with backbends and inversions. An all around stretchy string class. Enjoy!

All the Right Moves

By Ally Hamilton on Apr 15, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

If you're looking for a delicious all-over feel-good flow, you've come to the right place. Lots of shoulder, hip, hamstring and heart-opening along with core strengthening and time to play upside down. Long holds in pigeon and variations on pigeon, and a nice wide straddle forward fold. Deep, mindful breath and movement to soothe what ails you, and a very sweet savasana to send you gliding into your day.

The Big Chill 2

By Ally Hamilton on Apr 8, 2024

Gentle Yoga Intermediate

Hello friends! This is a practice for times when you really want to slow down, breathe consciously, and open every major muscle group deeply. The pace is slow and steady. This is not a heat-building class, it's a class that's about grounding, calming the nervous system and feeling really good in your body. If you've had a tough day and/or if you're struggling with anxiety or insomnia, or you need something during your cycle, this is for you. Enjoy xx

Flow + Glow

By Ally Hamilton on Apr 2, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Friends, this is a dynamic, nonstop flow full of heat-building and deep breathing, standing balance, arm balances, inversions, backbends, core strengthening and lots of long, stretchy, juicy holds so we can use all that heat to open deeply. If you want to flow and glow, this is for you. Enjoy!

Feel Good Everywhere Flow

By Ally Hamilton on Mar 25, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Do you ever feel like a flow that just feels good everywhere? That's what I was in the mood for, so that's the class I taught :) Delicious hip, hamstring and shoulder opening, active or restorative backbends depending on your energy level, just the right amount of meaningful core work, and options for legs-up-the-wall or handstand variations. You decide what you need! Plenty of options to turn the heat up or down. Whichever way you go, it's gonna feel good. Enjoy, my yogis!

Santosha Flow

By Ally Hamilton on Mar 18, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Do you ever think about what it would feel like to be a grasshopper with no thoughts about growth mindset? You'd just be hopping along as your little grasshopper self, and your biggest concern would be enjoying your next leaf. We humans could take a page or two out of the grasshopper school of life manual, and if you join me for this class we'll talk about the sickness of constant comparing and contrasting, and the calm that ensues when you learn to find contentment through the little things. Grab a couple of blocks in case you want them!

Spring Forward Flow

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

We will breathe deeply, twist safely and allow our bodies to release the stagnant stuff that holds us back so we can move forward with the change of the seasons.

Decompression Chamber

By Ally Hamilton on Mar 6, 2024

Gentle Yoga Beginner

Hello yogis! You know those days when you feel totally depleted, either physically or mentally or sometimes both? Yeah, this practice is for those days! If you need to decompress, soothe your nervous system, breathe deeply and get a nice deep stretch, this is for you. This is also a great evening practice, or post-run or hike. The only moment of "work" here is some very deep core engagement (with or without a resistance band) and I do mean just a moment. I felt the need for that deep strengthening with a lot of chill around it :) Hope you enjoy.

Sweet Heat, Deep Hips

By Ally Hamilton on Feb 27, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

We get to the heat-building early and once we're warm we use the heat to deeply open the hips and hamstrings. Have no fear because your core is also going to get attention, along with your shoulders so we can play with twisty arm balances like koundinyasana 1 and dwi pada if you're feeling frisky. Two blocks and an open mind are all you need! Enjoy, yogis.
