This flow is is all about the spine, backbends, and fluidity. We start with some grounding, and move into a little core work before we get on our feet and flow. You'll find standing balance, twists, and deep backbends along the way as we open the shoulders, upper back, quadriceps, psoas and hamstrings. Lord of the Dance pose is the peak, along with optional drop-backs. A block and a strap will be helpful. Enjoy, yogis!

Keep Comin' Back Flow

By Brent Laffoon on Jul 19, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Advanced

Hello friends! Join Brent for this feel-good flow that will open up every major muscle group and help you develop deeper awareness about where you're feeling strong and open, and where you might still have room to grow. Maybe the standing balance poses come easy to you, and the twists feel open, but the inversions present a challenge. Or maybe the inversions are happening, but the binds are out of reach (see what I did there?) This practice invites you to consider - if something is stopping me from finding a pose, what is it? Is it a lack of strength, or a lack of confidence? Is it tightness in your shoulders, or is there room to strengthen your core? There's no rush, you don't have to figure it all out in one session...you can keep comin' back! Maybe save this to your favorites and practice until the poses that aren't coming easily start to reveal themselves to you. You might want a couple of blocks and a strap. Enjoy!

Stag Party with Angela

By Angela Kukhahn on Jul 11, 2025

Vinyasa Flow Advanced

Dear Yogis, Grab a couple of blocks and get ready for a delicious flow! This class is marked advanced because it includes handstand and forearm stand variations (stag-nation lovers get ready!) but as ever, Angela always breaks things down into bite-sized pieces, so if you aren't ready for that, you can still play. Meaning, intermediate practitioners are welcome, just listen to your body as ever. Lots of spinal extension, shoulder-opening, back-bending, twisting, and core strengthening that may lead you into a forearm scorpion, too. Two blocks and a bolster may be useful but not necessarily necessary :)
