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.

What, you think it's all just a workout? How boring. Let's get to it.

This FREE 15 minute shoulder mobility class is great post-workout or on your active recovery days and is also great for anyone who sits at a desk all day. We begin by stretching the neck and then move to the shoulders. This class is focused on mobility, not just flexibility.

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

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.

We all hold tension in the body, and when life becomes stressful, fast-paced, or when you feel flooded or overwhelmed, the patterns that were set up long ago as your nervous system did it's amazing job to keep you alive, show up as your shoulders raise to your ears, or you tense up in the hips. This is all done on an unconscious level, and for good reason. And yet, these patterns often leave tension behind as a reminder that life is out of balance.

This powerful class opens and strengthens your shoulders and upper body, core, and hamstrings. If you like a practice that gives you time to open and deepen into postures, one pose at a time, this one is for you (this is not a flow class).

This class is accessible to those with some yoga experience, and will give you the opportunity to explore a bigger inversion towards the end of class, with modifications available for all levels. New and more challenging poses teach us patience and remind us it's about the journey to get there, more than the final pose, or destination.
