Intermediate Yoga Classes
All-Round Flow
A quicker class that packs in twists, backbends, and all sorts of things into your 15 minutes. You'll finish this feeling accomplished and ready for the day. Note that in parts this gets quite fast. Hang in there. With repetition, it gets easier.

Peak Pose: Revolved Head-to-Knee Pose
Parivrtta janu sirsasana (revolved head-to-knee pose) is one of those classically bendy-person shapes that one wonders if they'll be able to do. This class works into the side bends necessary to head in that direction. If you'd like a warm up, try out the Side-Bendy Flow on this page. It really helps.

Sun Salutations: The Quick Edition
Sun salutations are one of the things that I return to when I want a full body warm up in a brief amount of time. This class is quite fast, so knowing the sequence a bit will help you. There's a class on this page called Sun Salutations that explains all the steps more thoroughly if that helps. Jump in and enjoy.

Peak Pose: Splits
Hanumanasana (splits) is an exceptional pose. Even in preparing for it - as we do here - there's much to be learned about your body, your hamstrings, and how to open them. If you can set aside time to do this class everyday for 20 days, you'll begin to see how and at what pace your hamstrings will open. This sequence helped me greatly as a non-bendy person.

My Favourite Seated Flow
When you wake up your legs and hips, you really feel a change in the way you stand and move. With regular practice, this class will help you find more ease and mobility in your legs.

Peak Pose: King Pigeon
Master this deep hip opener and backbend to help stretch and release tension. Use this 15 minute sequence to safely warm up for King Pigeon pose.
|
Balances and Binds
A slow and thorough all-round class, this one ups your game with some deep quad stretches, strong balance poses, and a few classic hip-openers.

Flow to Crow
Master the basics for crow pose and begin one of the best arm balances there is.

Flying Pigeon Flow *30 minutes*
Let's start building the pieces to get into the glorious flying pigeon pose. If you are new to this shape this flow will help you stretch the muscles you'll need to start these more advanced shapes. Keep a sense of playfulness, listen to your body, and see how it goes. It's a great 30 minute vinyasa class with or without doing the peak pose.
|
Cabin Fever *30 minutes*
When you've been sitting in one place for too long or need to release some energy. This all-round flow starts gently but adds in some "emergency" side planks and variations on the side plank shape to help shift that restlessness and re-set your nervous system.
