Teenie Tiny Arm Balances are super cute but also very challenging. This advanced level class will train your body for these poses and give you the confidence and understanding to start adding them to your practice.

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

I've said for a long time that it takes more strength to be kind. And yet, kindness is much overlooked. This is because to truly be kind, you have to know deeply it's opposite, sorrow.

This class was inspired by the poem, Kindness, by Naomi Shahib Nye, which describes this concept so beautifully.

And kindness does not mean always doing the "nice" thing or the "easy" thing; sometimes it is hard, strong, and the ultimate form of nurturance.

In this deepening-into-the-hips flow, you will explore what kindness is, in your body: what does it mean to EMBODY kindness?
It is through the practice of embodiment that you come to directly experience a concept, then integrate it into your life, so you are well equipped to live it.

After this class, you will feel a sense of freedom from slowing down the pace to work deeply into the hips. Allow yourself to be with what arises in each shape, exploring your own edge, and practicing kindness with yourself.

Marysia feels that Handstand should be available to everyone who is keen to learn it.

You’ve got this!

Upon completion of class, to further your Handstand development if you learn that:
a) your arms feel unstable, then practice more Arm and Shoulder Strengthening classes.
b) your shoulders are tight, then practice more Chest and Shoulder Opening classes.
c) your hips are tight, then practice more Hip Opening classes.
d) your core feels unstable, then practice more Core classes.

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.

Becoming aware of these physical "go-to" patterns is the first step towards conscously changing these, which allows you to choose something different, more beneficial, and over time, resolving the build up of tension, so you can shift toward more wellbeing.

This 45-minute class brings a focus to hips and shoulders: areas of the body where tension is most often held, and relieving both is the key to freeing up the spine and the whole body system to live better.

Shoulder openers and classic warrior poses with precise alignment cueing, facilitates a balance of strength and flexibility. You will feel complete and whole after this practice.

Yoga helps balance out rock climbing. This sequence of asanas and arm variations works the opposite actions typically used in rock climbing to balance strengths and prevent injuries. Because climbing involves mostly pulling motions, this yoga practice preferences pushing movements while aligning the joints and increasing mobility in those areas that are typically tense, gripped, and tight. On this journey, you will practice forearm, wrist, hand, elbow, shoulder, and neck drills, variations of Forearm Stand (Pincha Mayurasana), Reverse Table (Purvottanasana), descend into Thread The Needle (Parsva Balasana) and end with meditation in Abhaya Hrdaya Mudra (Fearless Heart). Perfect for anyone looking for an alignment-focused shoulder opening class, particularly climbers who want to add yoga to their training program.

Patanjali advises us to go forth on the yogic path with the two wings of freedom, abhyasa and vairagya, effort and release. We will explore how to create traction and release in a clear and systematic approach that is compression-free.

Can you take care of yourself as a yogi, even if you cannot carve out an hour or more every day for your practice? The answer is yes. Challenge gravity without straining your schedule by working in some quick core strengthening with this class!

Skilled movement professionals now know that your core is much more than the rectus abdominis, the "six-pack" or "crunch" muscle. This class includes the rectus and also squeezes in movements targeting the stabilizing transverse abdominis, the internal and external obliques, and the stabilizers along the back and in the shoulders that support integrative core function during everyday activities.

One thing that differentiates a calm response from a reactive response is breath. Calm people breathe. In that one breath, reactivity slows, we regain access to our higher mind, and we respond better.

Yoga is an amazing practice, allowing us to meet ourselves on the mat each time, noticing when reactions arise, frustration, elation, edges of intensity, and we train ourselves that through it all, we can breathe, and remain steady and calm.

This class includes refined cues for engagement and exploration, making each pose a bit more intense. With longer holds and a steady flow, you will feel it. Exploring your own alignment, you will build to the peak pose, pincha myurasana, or forearm stand, at the wall.

How is it going with expressing myself clearly? Am I speaking from head or from heart?

The Vissuddha Chakra, or throat chakra, connects the head to the heart. Knowing from which place we speak impacts the language we use to describe our life, and that shapes our perception of it. When we can speak from the "eye of the heart" and the "knowing beyond intellect" then the words we use ring clear.

In this full hour practice, we explore poses that involve both compression and extension of the throat. We open the heart. And, we acknowledge that with foundation and creativity in balance, we create a stronger self, which allows for the heart, throat and head to connect.

This exploration, as yoga allows, happens on both on a conceptual or metaphysical level, and in our physical alignment.
