A flowing journey to awaken the spine and your energy! Backbends rule the day as we move from cat/cow variations into low lunge variations that target heart-opening. Crescent pose with more upper back, chest and shoulder opening, including fun with eagle pose and humble warrior. Once we're warm, we'll take the shoulder-opening and spinal awakening to the next level with wild thing and table top variations. If you're looking for energizing heart-opening, look no further! Enjoy, yogis!

We're going to have all kinds of fun in this practice! Think crow pose, baby crow pose, one-legged crow pose, forearm stand, handstand and more...but all of this is coming right from our core! So we are going to get centered and then we will fly! A couple of blocks would be handy. Enjoy, yogis, and let me know if you have requests!

Deep Hips Chill Vibes

By Ally Hamilton on Jul 15, 2021

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

This is a steady, heat-building flow where we go deeper and deeper into the hips but we keep it casual. We're not trying to get anywhere, we're just enjoying the experience of practicing together, listening intently to what our bodies have to tell us, and seeing what unfolds. This is an intermediate flow, but we do play with some advanced poses without any pressure whatsoever, and with modifications offered so you can turn the heat up or down!
