Yoga for Hips

This class offers a balance of yin and yang with both Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga. Begin standing to build strength and grace then slow down in longer holds to release your fascia. Feel the power of both yang and yin practice in this class and promote balanced wellbeing.

If you don't use them, you lose them. Many cultures who sit in a simple seat or squat to use the bathroom, utilize hip mobility throughout their days. However, for the rest of us, we need to move this amazing ball-and-socket joint in all ways to increase balance, add strength, and preserve mobility as we age. Join Kristin as she weaves hip mobility & flexibility through a 30-minute slow flow.

This class is a fusion of core strengthening moves and therapeutic back work. You'll work on mobility and flexibility of the muscles surrounding the spine and build strong abs and back muscles. Planks, tough core series, bridges, spinal stabilization, and more! Alternately energizing and relaxing, this class is the perfect blend to have you standing tall and feeling great.

Get ready for a twist mobility session that targets your spine and hips with familiar yoga poses and their variations to improve flexibility, release tension, and engage your core muscles. You'll feel better with an improved range of movement and less stiffness.

Tap into your inner Bliss Body with this slower paced, vinyasa class. Using the mantra Ananda Hum, I am Bliss, we start out with slow, mindful stretches and then transition to breath and body flow to open the heart and gently heat the body. A perfect practice for beginner to advanced yoga students seeking a deeper connection with that feeling of true inner Bliss!

This class is a part of a zodiacal series to attune the physical and subtle body to the energetics of the Moon in Virgo. It taps into the life giving forces within the self and work the hips, low belly, open the low back. These energies align new life forces, help purify, and balance the giving and receiving qualities.

It can be practiced when the moon is in Virgo, each month, or if your birth moon is in Virgo and you'd like to accentuate the physical and mental qualities.

Renew your lower back in a practice designed to release your spine and hips. Gather your props and marinate in Yin Yoga shapes that release and unwind lower body tension. Practice mindfulness and breath awareness in this slow and deep class.

Let go of any tension or baggage in mind or body in this gentle 35-minute fully body Yin class. Move your spine in all directions, open your heart, and have the space to be with yourself wherever you are at. After long-held yin poses and a Sound Bowl Savasana--you will feel lighter, grounded, and more connected to Self.

Shakira may not have been the first to say that Your Hips Don't Lie. Yogis have always looked at the legs and hips as the foundation of the body. It is understood that if your legs and hips, your first and second chakra, are in alignment, it is easier to bring the rest into alignment and also the opposite is true - if your hips are out of wack, it is all a bit trickier. Perhaps you have noticed this in a simpler way - when your low back hurts, perhaps you also notice your shoulders or neck start to feel wonky as well. In this low to the ground, gentle sequence, we will work the full dimension of the hips (inner, outer, front and back). Using side stretching to create a connection from the hips to the heart, we will explore what it means to slow down and listen to our hips. And maybe just take them out dancing after class. You never know....

In our busy world we can often feel pulled in many directions. Yoga is here to help us return to our center, again and again. Take time to come to your mat and mindfully move your body, breathe deeply, and recenter with this vinyasa flow class.

You will flow through Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar) variations, then hold balancing postures such as Half Moon (Ardha Chandrasana) and Extended Hand to Big Toe Pose (Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana) with options, and finish with grounding postures to help you feel balanced and renewed. Enjoy!

A quick yin unwind for those short on time. Calm down, open your neck + shoulders and find some big hip openers all on your back. Slow moving, relaxing yin class to help you reset back to the calm, free, divine Self you are. Enjoy a gentle Sound Bowl Savasana to help you shed any final worries + tensions.

Paying attention to our hips also helps to heal the low back. This class focuses on mobility, strength and flexibility for the entire hip area. It's short and effective.

Observe cosmic sensations through your physical experience on the mat, and drop into your own expansive and eternal nature through this slow moving, feel good practice.

This practice focuses on the interconnected relationship of the body and the mind and how our awareness of one, directly affects the other. In a yin practice, we disengage the muscles of the body to access the drier tissues within and at the same time we can also observe the mind expand. Enjoy long holds in five different shapes to explore this concept and end the class with a short pranayama practice.

Quell fear and calm down in this 40-minute Yin class, specifically sequenced to stimulate the Kidney + Urinary Bladder Meridians Lines (stimulates trust, wisdom, more energy, hope).

This sequence will prepare your hips for half and full lotus. We will strengthen the core, work the hips, and stretch the quads, inner thighs, hamstrings, and low back.

This class is apart of a zodiacal series to attune the physical and subtle body to the energetics of the Moon in Cancer. It works to awaken the creative center, and the powerful forces within the low belly. It draws more energy to nurturance and sustenance of the self, and personal life forces.

It can be practiced when the moon is in Cancer, each month, or if your birth moon is in Cancer and you'd like to accentuate the physical and mental qualities.

In this all-levels vinyasa class you will spend time warming up the hips and hamstrings for hanumanasa, or the splits. The class includes standing splits, 1/2 splits, triangle pose, and some balancing before coming down for our peak pose.

The goal is NOT to actually do hanumanasa, but rather follow the process that it takes to potentially get there some day.

Sometimes you want the benefit of the long, slow, deep Yin holds but don't have a full hour to practice. Elise will guide you through just a few juicy poses to get into your hips and spine in just a few minutes. Enjoy this short taste of Yin Yoga!

Dancer's Pose is one of the most potent and difficult postures. It's a balancing pose that asks us to stay strong amidst our wobbly times in life. It also asks the shoulder to open deeply into the backplane. We start slow and work steadily towards opening our hips and shoulders through balancing poses as well as taking our shoulders into the backplane. Though it's a slow-moving class we go deep. Jeanie uses a strong and steady tree to balance on for the full expression of Natarajasana with a strapm as this class is offered from the beautiful Eldorado Canyon State Park on a windy Fall day with lots of challenging obstacles to balance. The theme is steady yourself as the wind attempts to blow you off your midline.

The Sage, Vasistha, and King Visvamitra are the inspiration for this class. The King is enamoured by the Sages inner powers. In fact, The King has a cow that brings forth anything he wishes for. This power comes from the Sages' many years of intense practice and deep meditation. The greedy King wants this wish-fulfilling cow. The cow is now for sale however and the King must learn some arduous lessons that only deep practice can offer us. This class is a playful and guided practice into these challenging arm balances. I break it down so it's possible to get into it!! Have fun, enjoy the outdoor setting of Eldorado Canyon State Park
