Somatics for Strong Abs & Healthy Back

Shy Sayar

Join Yoga Therapist Shy Sayar in this essential practice for strong abs & a healthy back! The essence of Somatics is mindfulness of the body and proprioception (awareness of the body in space) - in this class Shy will lead you through simple exercises to strengthen the abs & back, while focusing on creating length in the spine and emphasizing the relaxation and release of the muscles at work, in order to deepen the mind-brain-body connection and train in letting go, as much as in strength & stability.

Body Soft, Mind Empty

Erin Wimert

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.

Structure and Strength

Erin Wimert

This class is designed to help you bring awareness to the pelvis and its role in supported backbends.

Ready, Set, Squat

Lila Whiting

This class is all about hip mobility. We start with a check-in, how does a squat feel in your body today? Then we move through a series of drills to activate your glutes & loosen around the pelvis. Next, we build up a sequence, adding variations each round to explore our range of motion & get the juices flowing. Once everything is moving freely, we do some strength work, to build our balance & stability. At the end you will enter your squat like never before!

Devotion Intensive IV: Smoking Camels

Mark Morford

We are, if nothing else, an overly hunched culture. This short but energetically delicious Intensive focuses on a handful of potent camel pose variations (among others) to really open the chest, invigorate the upper spine and bring space to the heart and head, so real devotional energy can swirl and inspire. Move slowly. Don't get dizzy. Stop analyzing everything. You'll be fine.

Devotion Intensive III: Do It On the Floor

Mark Morford

It's not all heat and grunt and push. Sometimes you gotta slow it down a little, get down to the floor and just be a little more patient. This short, potent practice really admires your hamstrings, appreciates your lower back, and of course, encourages lots more of your devotional attention. Can you handle it? You can totally handle it.

Vinyasa Yoga: Rain and Rainbow

Christen Bakken

It has been said, "no mud, no lotus." In yoga (and in life), I think about "no rain, no rainbow." Our practice can serve as an opportunity to train ourselves to make it though the storm. The poses can be tricky or uncomfortable and our job is to find our best alignment and stay connected to our breath. Beyond weathering the storm (of a challenging pose, class, or life), we can also learn to see the rainbow - to train the mind to see the good even though the tough. In this class filled with side bends and heart openers, we will work on both the rain and the rainbow.

Postural Health

Gemma Celento

This class works to relieve low back pain and improve posture. Side sleeping, screen time, and day to day life can close specific lines of the body which leads to low back pain, poor posture, and loss of mobility.

Designed to be both therapeutic and to improve muscular balance. This class opens key reflective points within the body to support back/shoulder mobility and to release: upper back knots, low back lateral 'pulling', tightness across chest and front of the hips.

Recommended to be done daily - few times a week to improve posture, shoulder mobility, and support hip opening. Practice with my video, Evolutions of flow-Seat of Health for a healthy back and hips.

Healthy Backs: Nurturing Hope Through Backbends

Kristin Gibowicz

"We practice to nourish our hope — our hope for a more settled mind, a more stable breath, a more compassionate heart. Our practice feeds our hope, and our hope feeds our practice. In fact, our practice is hope in action." Judith Hanson Lasater

What does embodied hope look like? Is life weighing you down or are you walking with your head high and with an open heart full of hope. This practice incorporates nourishing backbends like sphinx, floor blow and even an opportunity to cultivate Ardha Chandra Chapasana (half-moon bow pose). Backbends energize and help us counter and strengthen our modern and chronic postural patterns. You can take this slow or customize with vinyasa transitions to build heat.
