Get Hip(s)
By Lauren Peterson on Apr 19, 2018
This flow class is interspersed with stretches to open the hips. We move from gentle stretches, on our backs, to stronger weight-bearing hip stretches like pigeon and double pigeon. Enjoy.
Vinyasa Flow
“Vinyasa” means “a methodical progression from one point to another”, and when we say “vinyasa flow” we are describing the union of breath and movement from one pose to another. Our flow classes are sweaty, focused and fun. The emphasis on breath brings you into your body and connects you to something that’s happening in the present moment--your inhales and exhales, and all the other sensations that arise as you move and build heat, open, strengthen and stretch. Sensations don’t happen in the past or the future, they happen now. Welcome to your body!

Staying Inspired
By Jennifer Pastiloff on Apr 16, 2018
How do we live in a state of inspiration? How do we not take our daily surroundings and routines for granted? How do we really see the people closest to us without thinking we know all there is to know already? This is the theme as we flow and breathe and move, opening the hips, shoulders and hamstrings, strengthening the core and staying curious as we go! Expect to sweat and laugh. Please note: there is some independent flow in this practice (during the warm-up, you'll be invited to take 5 series A on your own).

Tools to Focus
By Ally Hamilton on Apr 16, 2018
Stay tuned into your breath, and find your focal points so you’re taking in less information from the world around you for a little while, and more from the one within you. That way you can figure out how to practice today, in a way that will strengthen and nurture you. It’s the same skill you use when you go to a busy restaurant with a friend, and want to focus on your friend, and not the chaos around you. It’s the same ability we need to choose one thought over another, and to decide what we’re going to focus on. Hone your focus as we open the hips, hamstrings and shoulders, play with arm balances and inversions, fire up the core, open the heart, and head into savasana feeling open!

Length & Strength
By Derek Beres on Apr 16, 2018
This dynamic flow focuses on side body opening and strengthening. We balance, lunge, twist, and eventually chill to take in all the good work we've accomplished in a half-hour.

Smooth Through the Moves
By Katie Bay Woodbury on Apr 14, 2018
Build your heat and find your balance in this short fiery flow. The sequences will build up the heat right from the start. Practice working your breath and finding a steady gaze so you can move with grace and ease. Yoga isn't just about sitting into a pose but also about how you arrived there. Let's practice being smooth between the moves.

By Josie Kramer on Apr 14, 2018
Enjoy this 30 minute flow anytime in your day! Feel into the poses, relax with the help of your breath and allow your experience to be what it is! Be aware of your inner dialogue.

Stretch and Release
By Ally Hamilton on Apr 12, 2018
Get into every nook and cranny with a sweet start and head into a heat-building flow that targets the hips, shoulders and hamstrings. Take your pigeon for a ride and then fire up your core, open your heart, and turn your world upside down with straddle handstands. Chill it out with more hip opening and a delicious Savasana. A little talk about developing the strength to open to reality as it is, which is not always as we'd like it to be, and to come back with love.

Sweat and Sweet
By Anne Lilburn on Apr 10, 2018
A sweaty class with a lot of core strength work and an emphasis on working on your own experience and with your own challenges. Down dog or child’s pose? Both are the right answer, but there are plenty of opportunities here to work hard with a dancing warrior flow and arm balance opportunities. There’s also a long, sweet and relaxing end to class with a triple dose of hip opening featuring janu sirsasana, double pigeon, and baddha konasana, as well as some heart opening opportunities with back bends and twists.

Open Heart, Open Mind
By Courtney Harms on Apr 8, 2018
Grab a strap (a towel or tie will work!) and wake up areas that may feel dormant from hours of sitting and slouching. As we awaken the physical body, the subtle body will start to feel the shift as prana flows more freely when the heart is open!
