Classes

Give your wrist rest while you flow through poses using minimal weight bearing on the hands.

Turn on your core yogis, and prepare for and practice Headstand 1 and 2, L-shape on the wall, and Pincha Mayurasana, all yogi favorites. Patience is the key to inversions, you might not get each pose on the first try, but practice and eventually you will.

This fun and upbeat practice will move vigorously through a vinyasa sequence that will work on opening the front, sides, and backs of the legs and hips. Challenge and work your way towards Bhujapidasana, Tittibhasana, Firefly, and finally arriving in a compass pose - Parivrtta Surya Yantrasana.

Center and stimulate the digestive fire to energize the body by activating your unique ability to move beyond the physical practice to access the energetic body.

Ramp up your core strength and get ready to explore chin stand. This advanced posture may seem elusive and unattainable, but once you build the strength and let go of the fear, you will be floating up to inversion and arm balance at all the same time.

Be prepared to get bendy! An advance sequence for the seasoned yogis who already are well versed in Chin balance. Take it slow with this one. Chin balance is a major deep backbend, and there is no rush to get into any “final” pose. Be where you are—it is a great place to be!

All humans are made of both the sun and the moon, the masculine and the feminine. In this power class with Kristen, we will tap into both lunar and solar energies as we work our way to Surya Yantrasana (Compass Pose).

Work toward ardha matsyendrasana, half lord of the fishes pose, an intense, hip-opening twist. Build heat and prepare your hips and spine with standing poses and variations then transition to seated poses for focused opening and twisting work.

This vigorous advanced class will prepare and take you through Bharadvajasana II and III with a focus on the hip, back, and shoulder actions in these twist seated poses. Bharadvajasana II requires half hero pose and half lotus pose, and Bharadvajasana III requires full lotus pose.

In this vigorous class, challenge your balance, strength, and flexibility in a buildup toward urdhva mukha paschimottanasana 1, upward-facing intense west stretch pose 1. This pose is a full forward fold performed balancing on your pelvis. This class is intended for practitioners who already possess fairly open hamstrings and backs.

Build stability and skills while working in the direction of adho mukha vrksasana, handstand. This class is for students who are interested in building shoulder strengths and learning movement to kick up to a handstand or other inversion variations. Bookmark this class so you can practice these drills often to build confidence and strength.

Grab not one, but two straps as we work towards Padangustha dhanurasana, big-toe bow pose. This class will focus on opening the muscles that make up the back of the armpit, latissimus dorsi, and teres major, to get access to this invigorating backbend.
