Twists and creative sequencing lead the way as we breathe and sweat and target the hamstrings, shoulders and upper back. A strong core is the key to navigating the twists and turns, and a sense of humor helps with the challenging moments. Super fun, super vigorous.

Did I say Fiery? Just making sure you saw that! We work hard and play hard in this sweaty flow that keeps coming. Lots of core, hip, shoulder and hamstring opening, opportunities to play with arm balances like flying pigeon, handstand help, backbends and a nice rest when you're done! Please note, we filmed this class right before I replaced the sound system, so I do cut out in a few places, but took the class myself and it's pretty minimal and not at all hard to follow, so I'm publishing :) I hope you enjoy!

We build a lot of nice heat in a fun flow that involves true love for the hips, hamstrings and shoulders. We fire up the core and play with arm balances. Once we're warm, oh my goodness do we open those hips. Virasana, half virasana, skandasana variations, monkey pose, double pigeon and a seriously deep savasana. You'll be wrung out for sure!

This flow targets the hips, hamstrings and core. We begin with some gentle twists and stretches on the floor to say hello to the hips and hamstrings, add a little breath of fire, and start the party with core work. Then we get on our feet for Series C, crescent pose variations, standing balance including eagle pose, standing splits and standing marichyasana, baby bakasana, lizard and pigeon pose variations, a quick headstand tutorial and then a well-earned savasana. Enjoy, yogis!

Heat-building for days when you have a good amount of energy and not a lot of time! Chaturanga push-up crunches, jump-switches and core strengthening get us nice and warm quickly, so we can play with standing balance like eagle pose, and then turn that eagle upside-down in a handstand if you're ready for that! Lots of love for the hips, shoulders and hamstrings, and some laughs along the way, too! Enjoy!

Perfect for days when you have a moderate amount of energy, but want a nice sweat and a deep stretch at a steady pace. Connect to your breath, center yourself, and listen to your body. There are opportunities for arm balances and inversions, but maybe today is a day where you'd be better to turn the heat down, you decide! Longer holds, lots of love for your hips and shoulders, core-strengthening and a little talk about svadhyaya, self-study. Use this time on your mat to observe not just what your physical body needs and wants, but also what your emotional body needs and wants from you. Lots of love, yogis.

Feeling a moderate amount of energy but looking for a nice boost? Grab your mat and join us for lots of core strengthening, standing balance, twists, arm balances, backbends, inversions and all kinds of fun. After you build that heat and fire yourself up, we'll cool it down with some deep hip and hamstring openers. Walk away from your mat feeling open, free and energized.

Short on time but want to fire up your core and really open your hips? Let's do this! Series A and C to get warm, serious core strengthening to turn up that heat, and some nice, deep hip opening as we flow with standing frog variations, hip-opening on your back, lizard pose with options to go deep and all kinds of fun!

Santosha, or contentment, is one of the Niyamas (observances) described in the Sutras of Patanjali and can be a difficult one to work with. Some of the shapes we explore in this practice (and many of the situations we find ourselves in throughout life) may bring up big feelings. Use this time on the mat to breathe through and be with what comes up. Maha moments include Marichyasana variations, Eka Pada Bakasana, and a Hollowback Pincha variation at the wall.

Nobody can make you feel anything unless you let them - but if you let me, I'm about to make you feel lots of things! Tons of core strengthening, standing balance, bandha work, eagle pose, standing spilts, twists on our feet and in arm balances (a little tutorial in eka pada koundinyasana which you can turn into dwi pada and/or fallen angel), chaturanga pushup crunches, marichyasana on your feet, a tutorial in transitioning from crow pose to tripod headstand, and handstand work! The pace is steady, this is a practice that will gently and continually demand your focus as we explore the topics of how much we allow ourselves to be swayed by what's happening around us, how much we take things personally, and how much better we feel when we retain our center and our power. Sometimes you need to detox your body and your mind!! Enjoy, yogis!

This practice is all about flowing, breathing and building strength to get into Peacock pose. Did you know peacocks can fly despite their very long tails? If they can do it, so can you! We just need to strengthen the core and the back body, and prep the shoulders and chest (sorry about the underwater sounds during locust pose, I crushed the mic but now we have a very cool headset!) Happy to meet you all, my name is Melvin!
