Mayurasana Flow
By Kate Duyn on Jan 24, 2025
The mythology goes that the peacock is one of the only predators of the cobra, because it can digest its poison. Metaphorically speaking, if you know you can handle something no matter how intimidating or confrontational, there's no need to be afraid. This practice peaks in peacock pose, but peacock pose is not recommended if you are dealing with wrist injuries, or if you're pregnant! Please pick another class for today if that's you. Peacock pose requires balance, focus, and strength, it can aid digestion, and it strengthens the core, arms, chest, shoulders, thighs and wrists. Enjoy, yogis!

Flying Pigeon Flow
By Angela Kukhahn on Jan 19, 2025
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.

Take Aim + Open Wide
By Kate Duyn on Dec 16, 2024
Hips, hamstrings and wide open backbends, anyone? Grab two blocks and a strap, and get ready to play. Arm balances, a little chin stand if you dig it, and some deep, delicious backbends for the win. Enjoy, yogis!

Hinge Happiness
By Angela Kukhahn on Dec 3, 2024
This is a workshop-style class designed for people who have a hard time hingeing at the hips, holding down dog with straight arms and a long spine, coming up to a halfway lift with a flat back, and generally finding freedom in the spine (and often the shoulders and hamstrings as well) as they flow. This is the kind of session that will make such a huge difference if you make it part of your regular rotation. Two blocks and some kind of pole (broomstick or anything along those lines) are needed. Enjoy, yogis!

Blocks + Binds Party
By Kate Duyn on Nov 22, 2024
Let's have a block party, shall we? Grab a couple, and we'll use them for deep core work, fun arm balances, and a great assist as we open the hips, hamstrings, IT band and shoulders - so we can play with twists, binds, standing balance, some deeper backbends, balancing on our hands, and balancing in our hearts, too.

Obstacles as Blessings
By Kate Duyn on Oct 16, 2024
A Ganesha-inspired practice designed to free the path in front of you, so energy can flow in spite of obstacles (or because of them). Expect standing balance, arm balance and head balance :) Core strength, breath, and creativity. Grab six (!) blocks if you have them. If not, you can get away with two! Enjoy, yogis!

Hip-Opening Heat + Flow
By Angela Kukhahn on Oct 16, 2024
Vinyasa into fall with Angela! This practice is a blend of strength, flying, and continuous flow on the breath. We balance strength and challenge with fluidity and yummy stretches. Lots of love for the hips of course. 30 minutes of awesome, basically - enjoy :)

Hips + Inner Thighs FTW
By Angela Kukhahn on Oct 5, 2024
Hi yogis! This is a quick, energizing, thorough flow targeting hip, hamstring and inner-thigh opening. You can also count on shoulder opening and deep core engagement as we go. Enjoy! Great for mornings, or any time you want something short, sweet and deep! You may benefit from having 2 blocks and a strap handy if you need them!
