ONE DROP Today’s class focuses on side bends — slowly moving through the frontal plane to prepare for our standing flow that builds into triangle and half moon. We end our month considering what it means when one drop of action makes a ripple that expands out from the mat and into the world.

Building on Tuesday’s practice, today we play with balance through a warrior 3 flow. But first, we start slow with a grounding chest opener and neck relaxer. Finally we’ll rest — embracing what can be called a “spiritual, silent serenade.”

It’s a low energy Thursday but we get moving with some gentle arm, neck, and back stretches and then ease into our arm strenghthening flow. We round out class with a guided meditation that takes us to the beach and invites us to embrace our curious child-like selves.

Want stronger arms? Me, too! We’re going to focus the rest of the month on building arm strength — just a little at a time with the goal of being stronger in February than we are today. Today we start with some leg and hip stretches before moving into our arm strengthening flow.

Is the world moving faster than you'd like? Today's class slows things down by starting with some grounding poses to support the nervous system. We then celebrate the full moon with a salutation flow to lubricate the joints. A great flow for the spine and psoas!

Happy New Year! Today's class starts out slow and easy with multiple poses to alleviate neck and shoulder tension. We then move into a sun salutation flow to welcome in a new year and stretch the psoas. Cheers!
