Vinyasa + Gentle Inversions ... 45 Minutes

this one stays pretty simple, moves at a steady pace, and closes out with a good amount of time in hips on a block. perfectly paced to leave you in a calm, confident space.

Upside Down, Round & Round ... 30 Minutes

gentle inversions, twists, and side bends are really good ways to move your body for the benefit of your immune system.

as 21st century humans, we spend so much time upright and facing straight ahead, whether we're sitting at a desk, driving a car, making dinner, running, hiking, cycling, or horseback riding.

that's where yoga can help...taking us through unusual ranges of motion that get circulation and hydration going all over. try it...you might like it!

key practices: hips on a block, ab series, seated and kneeling spinal mobility, sun a, crescent sun b, twisting and side bending salutations, relaxation.

Flow for Waking Up Gently ... 30 Minutes

this one starts in the place we want to end up…deep rest. then we move into rhythmic floor stretches, seated shoulder openers, and finally strong flow. 

a really great way to wake up any time of day…as long as you’re ok with the yoga truth that whenver the yoga teacher says “one more” they mean “one more on each side” … 

 

 

Balancing Flow ... 30 Minutes

this one starts with getting your rhythm, then keeping it as you move through a balance-challenging standing series.

key practices include: down dog, ragdoll squats, sun A, lunge salutations, twisting balance flow, eagle, standing galavasana, dancer, tree, and sphinx. oh, and Savasana.

Rhythmic Flow ... 45 Minutes

tap into the natural rhythm of your body to calm and center your mind. the emphasis here is on ujjayi breathing: slow inhales and exhales that use your "whisper-muscles" to meter the breath and draw it intentionally down into your body.

key practices include: hips on block, low back stretches, seated folds, sun salutations, warrior flow, and low lunge/straddle stretches.

Hamstring, Calf, and Hip Flexor Therapy ... 45 Minutes

the title explains it all. we move a little slower in the beginning of this to get a good stretch in...then, we kick into vinyasa gear: one breath, one pose all the way to some deep relaxation at the end.

POWER HOUR: Stronger Shoulders, Better Posture

this one focuses on the "pretend your hands are on jar lids" technique for stabilizing your shoulder joints...which can lead to happier shoulders and better posture. plus, we throw in side bends, twists, and hip mobilizers to round things out.
