As humans, we can be very forward thinking. We can spread ourselves way to thin. If you think about dogs, a well-behaved dog doesn't live out on the edge of its leash always pulling toward the next thing. A disciplined dog knows how to heel. Since we aren't dogs, by no means is this practice meant to treat you like one - however through the playful exploration of many of the dog poses AND anchoring ourselves here and now, we will work on the discipline it takes to heel. And through this heeling, we might activate your own healing. This vinyasa class is well-rounded, but with a slight emphasis on hamstring opening.

Get to it.

This ‘Having More Patience’ Guided Meditation & Hypnotherapy session is aimed for people who would like to feel more patient and tranquil.

Patience is essential to daily life and might be the key to a happy one. Having patience means being able to wait calmly in the face of frustration or adversity. Whether you feel like you could be more patient at work, at home or in your social life, patience can make the difference between annoyance and equanimity, between worry and tranquillity. This audio will help you to retrain your mind to let go of impatience, to remain calm and to release the tension and impatience that you may have been experiencing. We recommend that you listen to our session at least four times so you can really compound the positive messaging, override the old beliefs and help your mind create new neural pathways to being more patient.

This class is part lecture and part practice. It will provide a brief introduction into what mantra is, where it comes from, and why it is a beneficial to practice. You will then be guided through a simple Mantra meditation technique that utilizes the vocal cords to stimulate the vagus nerve and bring about deep levels of rest. The meditation portion is accompanied by the harmonium, an ancient yogic instrument that has been used for thousands of years to chant mantra.

It is important to note, that this practice is not religious. It dates back thousands of years and is the source from which all of yoga has evolved. It brings the practitioner directly to the roots of yoga.

The only pre-requisite for this session is openness and curiosity. This class will be sure to leave you bubbling with a blissful sensation, paired with a deep level of peace!

Yoga is not interested in your hardcore striving. Yoga is in mad love with your breath, your intention, your complete and unbridled devotion to the moment you are in, no matter what it might contain or how uncomfortable, or clumsy, or baffled you might be. Here's a 30-minute Vinyasa ignition that invites exactly that understanding. Work hard to find stillness and grace, not aggro aggression. You're gonna love it.

This is another practice in Shannon's series of classes focused on navigating trauma and grief. This short practice will connect you with your body, give you space to feel, and a safe space to navigate your emotions. Expect to connect with your breath, and deep and accessible postures.

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.

The Yogic Way: Movement, Mantra, Breath

This FREE practice is here to help you show up onto your yoga mat, even when it's difficult to do so. When you're navigating difficulties in life, making time and having the motivation for self-care can be harder. This short class is here to help you continue to look after yourself.

Look, going "deep" has nothing to do with force, push, cranking it out and getting it done. It has everything to do with diving through various layers of psycho-emotional crap so you can be fully present with what you're doing, even if (especially if?) it's challenging or normally makes you whimper and whine.

Here's a brief but vivid, 30-minute full-body plunge into exactly what that might mean. Is it enough? Hell, no. But it's a most excellent taste.

Drishti is the Sanskrit word for gazing point that is used during yoga classes. It is the spot, close in, where we focus our attention. To be able to do this is a skill for your mat and for your life. Via a well-rounded gentle practice, we will practice shifting our gaze up and out to back close and in. May we see what is right in front of us.

Kemetic yoga is the first yoga and we are going to flow this gentle flow on waking up the body. Learn something new, expand and feel your body.

The body is central to our experiences, to our sense of ourselves, to our autobiographical narratives. The body is the only way we move through life.” Hillary McBride, Wisdom of Your Body

Join Kristin for a vinyasa-style practice that helps you tune into the beautiful wisdom of your body - giving you choice, agency and permission to flow with grace and power.

Water Flow;

Water is intelligent and we will be using it to support the emotion in our bodies we want to be supported.

Let's connect, drink and flow.

Join Kristin to activate your solar plexus power. We come into balance as we hold on with self-confidence, autonomy and will-power and simultaneously let go to the natural flow of life. Learn to access the appropriate amount of core-power to light your internal flame without striving or burning out. What's holding you back today? What's wrong with being confident?

This is a FREE vigorous, deeply felt 30-minute full-body swirl to bring you NOT into a state of more agitation and let's-attack-the-day, but rather a potent form of... stillness. What? You read that right.

Look, you can't go "deep" through mere force and push and hurry up already. That's just exhausting. You go deep through intention, watching your breath, and practicing keeping your attention from scattering about like a manic chihuahua, especially when things get challenging. It's the only way.

The ultimate combo!

Indulge in a gentle Yin sequence crafted to stimulate the Gallbladder + Liver Meridians (increasing energy among these meridian lines invoke greater confidence, transformation of repressed emotions, and better decision making). End your class with an extra-long Shavasana accompanied by a mini-Sound Healing—celestial sounds + vibration that encourage relaxation, deep meditation, and a mending of connection to our inner divine.

Yoga will not make you a better person. Not happier or kinder or more compassionate, no matter how much you do it. This is a silly (Western) myth, disproven daily by "expert" yogis with gorgeous bodies and immaculate practices who are still, somehow, total jerks.

Yoga's prime function, as I've come to understand it, is to create an environment, a more fertile soil in which transformation can, potentially, occur, should you be willing to do the REAL yogic work of self inquiry and ego taming.

Translation: After this gorgeously attuned, 60-minute Absolution Flow practice, full of swirls and warriors and spinal whoops, you will NOT automatically become a nicer human. But you *might* be more ready, just a little, to dispel with some egoic bullshit and show up more fully in the moments of your life. And isn't that even better?

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.

You think core is just about strong muscles and ripped abs? You're missing most of the good stuff. This short but potent practice focuses on abdominal, oblique and pelvic floor areas to enliven physical AND devotional aspects of your innate stability, to enhance both posture AND innate calm, so the world can't so easily throw you around like a doll in a hurricane. Let's get to it.
