LEARN TO DO YOGA

Each day is broken down into 2 parts: Practice & Flow. In the Practice portion we break down 5 yoga poses, focusing on alignment, going over basics of what to do and not do in each.

​

Then in the Flow portion we put those 5 poses together, practicing transitions from one to the next, cleanly coming into and out of each.

​

See Sample Classes Below.

DAY 1: PRACTICE

DAY 1: PRACTICE

Day one kicks off the Beginner Program, taking things pose by pose. In Day 1 we breakdown the following poses: Down Dog, Plank, Up Dog, Cobra, & Awkward Chair (which is awkward because there is no chair). In the practice portion of Day 1 we focus on alignment, and then we put these five poses together in a flow.
DAY 1: FLOW

DAY 1: FLOW

In this second part of Day 1, we put together the five poses we practiced into a flow. These 5 poses make up what many Instructors call the 'Vinyasa'. Often times when you hear Instructors say "and go through the Vinyasa" this is what they mean. The whole point is to see how these poses work together, and to practice the transitions in and out of each.

DAY 1 

Down Dog, Plank, Up Dog, Cobra & AWKWARD CHAIR

DAY 2 

Warrior 1, warrior 2, reverse warrior, triangle & halF moon

Warrior 1, Warrior 2, Reverse Warrior, Triangle & Half Moon

DAY 2: PRACTICE

DAY 2: PRACTICE

In Day 2 we meet the Warrior Family of Poses: Warrior One, Warrior Two & Reverse Warrior. I've also included Extended Side Angle, Triangle & Half Moon. Warrior One kicks it off, and you'll see this pose is a bit of an outlier in this group because it's a backbend. The rest of the poses follow the same pattern with no backbend, and each are hip openers. In the practice portion of Day 2 we focus on alignment, and then we put these five poses together in a flow. This is probably my favorite group of poses, they all work so nicely together!
DAY 2: FLOW

DAY 2: FLOW

In this second part of Day 2, we put together the six poses we practiced into a flow. These are my favorite group of poses to flow through, hands down! They all fit so nicely together (except for maybe Warrior One, as you saw in the Practice Segment) and the transitions are smooth. This group of poses is a goto for Instructors, you'll find them in pretty much any yoga class you take.
DAY 3: PRACTICE

DAY 3: PRACTICE

Welcome to Day 3 where we again are taking things pose by pose. In Day 3 we breakdown the following poses: Crescent, Lunge, Warrior 3, Standing Splits & Pyramid Pose. This is another great family of poses! One thing they all have in common is that we are 'squaring our hips' in each pose, you'll see what I mean. In the practice portion of Day 1 we focus on alignment, and then we put these five poses together in a flow.
DAY 3: FLOW

DAY 3: FLOW

In the second part of Day 3, we put together the five poses we practiced into a flow. Just like in Day 2, these poses all go VERY well together. Keep your focus on squaring your hips in each, you can't overdue it. And you'll see what a great 'jumping off' pose Crescent is, definitely in my top 5, and it pops up in almost every workout.

DAY 3 

Crescent, lunge, warrior 3, standing splits & pyramid pose

Crescent, Lunge, Warrior 3, Standing Splits & Pyramid Pose

DAY 4: PRACTICE

DAY 4: PRACTICE

In Day 4 of our Beginner Yoga Program it's all about twisting. We'll be breaking down the following poses: Twisted Awkward Chair, Basic Twist, 'For Real' Twist, Straight Leg Twist & Crescent Lunge Twist. As we make our way through the practice portion, be conscious of your back and if it's cool to push it further or if you need to back off (no pun intended)!
DAY 4: FLOW

DAY 4: FLOW

In the second part of Day 4, we put together the 5 twists we practiced in a flow. Definitely keep in mind that in a typical class twists tend to come towards the end, once your body is warmed up. So, as we flow from twist to twist, listen to your back, and back off :)

DAY 4

AWKWARD CHAIR TWIST, BASIC TWIST, TWIST, STRAIGHT LEG TWIST & CRESCENT TWIST

Awkward Chair Twist, Basic Twist, Twist, Straight Leg Twist & Crescent Lunge Twist

Awkward Chair Twist, Basic Twist, Twist, Straight Leg Twist & Crescent Lunge Twist

Beginners Practice Classes
Beginner Class: ONE

Beginner Class: ONE

In our first Beginner Yoga Class we put together many of the poses we learned over the past five days into a well-rounded Hiit & Run Yoga Workout. We move at a slower pace, focusing both on alignment and transitions, featuring poses in the order you'd find them in most classes.
Beginner Class: TWO

Beginner Class: TWO

In our second Beginner Yoga Class, we again highlight poses we learned over the first five days, but this time focusing on the 'variations' of these poses you may find in classes. The variations are sometimes used to challenge yogis who are adept with a particular pose, and at other times to modify poses for yogis who find a pose too challenging. We'll go over both!
