FLOW 60: Non-Sleep Deep Rest + Yoga

Maybe you've heard of the benefits of NSDR -- non-sleep deep rest: it can enhance cognitive performance, reduce heart rate and blood pressure, decrease anxiety and ease pain levels, as well as helping you sleep better and more deeply at night. If you've never tried it...this class will give you a taste. We start with a ten minute NSDR (we call it Savasana, but it's really a guided relaxation practice) and then move on to stretching, slow flow, and more relaxation. Enjoy!

POWER 60: Slow Down, Get Strong

Life moves pretty fast...and momentum is sometimes mistaken for progress. In this full-scale vinyasa practice, we focus on slowing down to get everything possible out of each pose. It's not easy; it is worth it.

Your feet matter...a lot. Whether you're standing, hiking, running, or doing yoga, knowing how to use your feet well can give you better balance, agility, and mobility. In this practice, we focus on foot anatomy and how to use it to your advantage in lunges, planks, and more.

FLOW 60: Feel Your Feet (and Legs, and Hips, and Core, and...)

As humans in the 21st century, we spend a lot of time thinking about our bodies, looking at our bodies, judging our bodies...and comparatively little time feeling what's really going on inside our bodies. Building your body awareness is helpful to so many things in life: balance, strength, playing sports, having fun, remaining in good health, listening to your intuition...but you probably already know this. Yoga can help. Just press play.

FLOW 60: Vinyasa to Relieve Anxiety

One of the best somatic practices to quell a racing nervous system is to get in touch with the back of your body. Sounds weird? Only until you try it... This practice gives you some tools for easing anxiety in the context of a well-rounded vinyasa practice that's good for every day. Enjoy!

May 10, 20241 hrEp. 983

FLOW 60: The Yoga Pick Up

The subtitle for this one could be "stop dragging your feet around"...we pay really close attention to how we're stepping and moving through the practice as a way to improve our mind-body connection and develop physical lightness that transfers to how you move (and feel) off the mat.

FLOW 60: Get Focused

Drishti and mudra are two practices within the practice of yoga that help our modern minds develop focus and presence. Drishti is the act of setting your gaze in a way that honors your intention. We practice setting our eyes to one external point during the practice of any asana to get more in tune with what's happening inside our bodies and minds. Mudra is the a practice of hand gestures that allow us to communicate our intention...and shapes the way we receive the practice and the world around...

POWER 60: Uplevel Your Hip Openers (and Your Attitude)

When we ask for requests, hip opening is the most common response. but almost no one requests the standing, warrior-style asanas to get there. However, these are some of the best postures for increasing hip mobility and (bonus) strength. This session's also a great workout and a serious attitude adjustment. Press play and jump in!
