It's Giving Witchy
By Kate Duyn on Mar 25, 2025
Wanna cast some witchy circles of protection and peace with Kate?

Then you can get back out there with all your witchy ways and make good trouble. Enjoy, yogis.

We Like to Move It
By Angela Kukhahn on Mar 14, 2025
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
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.

By Kate Duyn on Feb 24, 2025
Lots of stuff to release as we navigate all kinds of twists and turns!

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!
