Well, dang, aren't we dealing with endless twists and turns?!I KNOW it's hard but you know what helps? This! Get on your mat and strengthen your center so that whatever twists and turns are ahead, you're ready for them! You can count on lots of love for your hamstrings, hips and shoulders, core strengthening, and twisty arm balances including eka pada koundinyasana 1 and side crow. Tripod headstand and handstand variations and all kinds of fun. You realize we're getting through it don't you? We're not "going" to get through it, we are currently getting through it. It might not be pretty every minute, but we're doing it, and the more you practice for it, the easier it is! Grab your mat and let's do this together :)

All the Right Moves

By Ally Hamilton on Apr 15, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

If you're looking for a delicious all-over feel-good flow, you've come to the right place. Lots of shoulder, hip, hamstring and heart-opening along with core strengthening and time to play upside down. Long holds in pigeon and variations on pigeon, and a nice wide straddle forward fold. Deep, mindful breath and movement to soothe what ails you, and a very sweet savasana to send you gliding into your day.

The Big Chill 2

By Ally Hamilton on Apr 8, 2024

Gentle Yoga Intermediate

Hello friends! This is a practice for times when you really want to slow down, breathe consciously, and open every major muscle group deeply. The pace is slow and steady. This is not a heat-building class, it's a class that's about grounding, calming the nervous system and feeling really good in your body. If you've had a tough day and/or if you're struggling with anxiety or insomnia, or you need something during your cycle, this is for you. Enjoy xx

Feel Good Everywhere Flow

By Ally Hamilton on Mar 25, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Do you ever feel like a flow that just feels good everywhere? That's what I was in the mood for, so that's the class I taught :) Delicious hip, hamstring and shoulder opening, active or restorative backbends depending on your energy level, just the right amount of meaningful core work, and options for legs-up-the-wall or handstand variations. You decide what you need! Plenty of options to turn the heat up or down. Whichever way you go, it's gonna feel good. Enjoy, my yogis!

Santosha Flow

By Ally Hamilton on Mar 18, 2024

Vinyasa Flow Intermediate

Do you ever think about what it would feel like to be a grasshopper with no thoughts about growth mindset? You'd just be hopping along as your little grasshopper self, and your biggest concern would be enjoying your next leaf. We humans could take a page or two out of the grasshopper school of life manual, and if you join me for this class we'll talk about the sickness of constant comparing and contrasting, and the calm that ensues when you learn to find contentment through the little things. Grab a couple of blocks in case you want them!

Decompression Chamber

By Ally Hamilton on Mar 6, 2024

Gentle Yoga Beginner

Hello yogis! You know those days when you feel totally depleted, either physically or mentally or sometimes both? Yeah, this practice is for those days! If you need to decompress, soothe your nervous system, breathe deeply and get a nice deep stretch, this is for you. This is also a great evening practice, or post-run or hike. The only moment of "work" here is some very deep core engagement (with or without a resistance band) and I do mean just a moment. I felt the need for that deep strengthening with a lot of chill around it :) Hope you enjoy.
