Deep hips and shoulders, core strengthening, heart opening, inversions and lots of fun as we work around the theme of not taking things personally.

This is an all-levels old school flow where we move slowly and mindfully, breathe deeply, and stay curious about sensation. There is no rushing, no attachment to the outcome, just discernment from moment-to-moment and the desire to find an equal amount of effort and ease as we go. If you're looking for a deep, steady practice where we pause, play with focal points, stay with the breath, and remember why we're doing what we're doing, this is it :) Beginners and advanced practitioners and everyone in between, welcome! 2 blocks may be helpful to "lift the floor up" if your hamstrings tend to be a little tight, if you have long legs, and/or if you like blocks for restorative options!

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!

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 :)

A flow to say thank you to the givers. So many of you have been practicing with me for years. Some of you I've gotten to meet in person, like my dear friend Peggy, others I have not. Either way, I want you to know I think about you all the time and appreciate you so much. Peggy is retiring after decades of working, momming and putting her family first. I know so many of us who are always squeezing in time for ourselves and I wanted to say I see you. Congratulations on your retirement, Peggy. May you have time for long practices, good books, and time to put your feet up. This is a slow flow to open the hips, shoulders, hamstrings and heart. Lots of love.

A quick but thorough flow to get things moving and open up the whole body. Particular love for the hips, shoulders and hamstrings. Enjoy when you're short on time but want a full practice!

A sweaty, challenging, super fun flow with Brent, focused on hip mobility and core stability. Get ready to play with some of your old friends in new ways, challenge your balance, find muscles you didn't know you had, and work some deep core stabilizing muscles while you increase your hip mobility. Good stuff. Two blocks may be helpful. Enjoy, yogis!

Let's cultivate a little life force, shall we? This is an energizing flow where we will move some energy AROUND! Get ready for fun with compass pose, eight angle pose and koundinyasana 2, along with all kinds of twists and turns as we go. Guaranteed to get your heart pumping, and your juju flowing.

I said this would be short, but once I got going it felt so good, I kept going, so this is an hour-long flow. Sorry not sorry :) This is a flow to release your hips, hamstrings, psoas and IT bands which will feel great for everyone, and (bonus!) ought to help anyone after a long day of travel, after a run, or a long hike - or anyone who might be dealing with a little sciatic pain. I felt 95% better after this. Don't let the slower start fool you. We spend the first 15 minutes on the floor releasing the hips and hamstrings in a targeted, progressive way, then we move into some intense core work, surprise! Then we get moving with a fun, heat-building flow, and end with arm balances, backbends, and more hip and hamstring opening. You may benefit from a strap and blanket, you will want a couple of blocks. Enjoy, yogis!

It is an honor just to be in a body living this life, and it is so easy to forget! Join Kate for a cosmic, fiery, twisty reminder. Grab two blocks and get ready to strengthen your core, open your hamstrings, hips and shoulders, play with balance in all kinds of creative ways, and step on your ego a little in the process. It's a good thing :) Enjoy, yogis!

You know those days when you don't have a lot of time, but really want your practice? Me, too! How about some deep, conscious breathing, your keen attention to sensation from moment-to-moment, hip, shoulder, and hamstring opening, core strengthening, back-bending and arm balancing with a nice savasana all in 28 minutes? Sound good? Awesome, let's do it. You might want a couple of blocks to "lift the floor up." Enjoy, yogis!
