What’s Included

All five full-length classes are about an hour for the busy practicioner, but still contain a proper warm up, funky flow sprinkled with drills and strengtheners, and a softening cool down section. In Steph & Erin’s signature style, the focus is on moving slowly with attention to alignment and form, both in the postures themselves and the space between. The perfect place to begin or fine tune your movement journey.

1. What is Yoga – But really? What is Yoga? This intro video (not a movement class) briefly touches on the idea of Yoga as a whole life experience, both on and off the mat. While the 5 classes focus mainly on the physical movements of the body, having a general understanding of the larger definitions of Yoga can be helpful going into your inner process.

2. Self Check In – This brief body scan (not a movement class) is a basic, but extremely helpful tool that Steph & Erin often implement before, during, and after their physical practice to cater the time on the mat to specific physical, mental, and emotional needs. Try this once for fun or utilize repeatedly to customize your movement.

3. Breath Meets Movement – Harness the power of traditional breathing techniques and begin to understand the connection between respiration and movement. Tap into your inner winds as we start slowly and build to a more fluid, dance-like practice on the mat. Focus: Breathing to assist with movement.

4. Solid Gaze, Solid Stance – Drill down your focus with an introduction to drishti or gaze. Learn to utilize the foundations of your feet and hands like steady roots so that your limbs can fly free. Expect funky foot work, attention to alignment, and at least a few wiggles! Focus: Learning the power of gaze and exploring balance.

5. Awakening the Bandhas – Fire up the energy locks and natural lifts of the body as you learn to use specific muscle engagements of the pelvis, belly, and throat. Tone and open the hips through slow and steady movements with prop use and modifications for every body. Focus: Introduction to energy locks and hip opening.

6. Open to Opportunity – Tap into the energizing and uplifting power of happy heart openers. Experience the benefits of finding a balanced bend in the spine and space throughout the full body. Utilize muscle chains and detailed cues to help pull yourself into stable positions instead of dumping into naturally flexible areas as you awaken every inch of yourself. Focus: Cultivating a smooth and safe backbend.

7. Tap into Self – Wring yourself out with a twisted flow focused on active lengthening and prop-based folds. Learn the intricacies of multi-plane movement and how to create space and safely transition into it. Expect to put all of the lessons together from the previous four classes as we explore the body from head to toe and complete more pieces of the puzzle. Focus: Proper twisting technique and safe hamstring lengtheners.

Inversions are a never-ending field of study. Once we begin to find our initial balance upside down, new opportunities open up in front of us, such as exploring complex but rewarding transitions, experimenting with a variety of leg positioning, and starting to integrate pressing drills into our daily practice.
