Three Dog Yoga Practice Podcast

When time is tight, but you want to feel better in all the usual rough spots. We got you.  

This one's a full-scale vinyasa class, with a gentle feel and a lot of attention to hip and shoulder mobility. A three dog classic, so to speak. Enjoy!

Maybe you've heard of the benefits of NSDR -- non-sleep deep rest: it can enhance cognitive performance, reduce heart rate and blood pressure, decrease anxiety and ease pain levels, as well as helping you sleep better and more deeply at night. If you've never tried it...this class will give you a taste. We start with a ten minute NSDR (we call it Savasana, but it's really a guided relaxation pract...

This one starts with a few moments of self-reflection, followed by a strong but gentle vinyasa, balance, and stretch series to keep you focused and tranquil...especially good on those days those things seem most out of reach.

Welcome to REVERSE FLOW. We start on the ground and work our way slowly into vinyasa and standing poses...you'll enter a state of tranquility and let your asana practice come from a deep, focused space to get you to a more open, mobile, energized you.

When you want to get more mobile, you gotta mobilize more. This high-energy, low-stress practice will get you there. Through taking bigger steps, focusing on the pacing of your breath, and being intentional about your range of motion, you'll feel the same old postures in a brand new way. We recommend keeping this one on your list of repeat performances to keep yourself growing in your practice. Wa...

You'll hear the phrases "naval center" and "heart center" a lot ... a lot, a lot, in yoga class. This short practice demystifies these important concepts, and provides a good workout on the side. We'll focus on strengthening the core...as well as decompressing it. Both important for good mobility, better breathing, and optimal organ function. Key asanas include: lunges, warriors, flipped dog, half...

This one's a straightforward approach to building strength and flexibility...enjoy!

Yes, this one applies to all of us. Press play, and you'll enter an hour of freedom from the need to have an agenda, an opinion, or any criticism of yourself. You'll also work hard, maybe even sweat, and spend a good amount of time stretching out all the usual tight spots.

Strong, supple, and cared-for feet are happy feet. In this comprehensive vinyasa practice that's good for your whole self, we'll do a little stretching, a little strengthening, and a little restorative work to keep your feet ready for dancing.

Join us for a cruise through the standing posture series by way of vinyasa. You'll get your moving meditation in, as well as work on those quick steps that are so challenging, but so worth it. Stepping from down dog into warriors is not easy...but it can be fun and is definitely rewarding: practice enough, and you'll improve your balance and ability to move with ease.

Life moves pretty fast...and momentum is sometimes mistaken for progress. In this full-scale vinyasa practice, we focus on slowing down to get everything possible out of each pose.  It's not easy; it is worth it.

This one's a straightforward steady journey to the flow state...it'll get the job done any day. You'll move and breathe in a meditative series designed to get you into your right mind, mobile body, and most elevated mood.

Your feet matter...a lot. Whether you're standing, hiking, running, or doing yoga, knowing how to use your feet well can give you better balance, agility, and mobility. In this practice, we focus on foot anatomy and how to use it to your advantage in lunges, planks, and more.

As humans in the 21st century, we spend a lot of time thinking about our bodies, looking at our bodies, judging our bodies...and comparatively little time feeling what's really going on inside our bodies.  Building your body awareness is helpful to so many things in life: balance, strength, playing sports, having fun, remaining in good health, listening to your intuition...but you probably already...

One of the best somatic practices to quell a racing nervous system is to get in touch with the back of your body. Sounds weird? Only until you try it... This practice gives you some tools for easing anxiety in the context of a well-rounded vinyasa practice that's good for every day. Enjoy!

The subtitle for this one could be "stop dragging your feet around"...we pay really close attention to how we're stepping and moving through the practice as a way to improve our mind-body connection and develop physical lightness that transfers to how you move (and feel) off the mat.

This one starts with a few restoratives, then kicks into high gear with a strong standing series and floor mobilizers. 

Yes, you can have a flow practice with no low pushups...in this one we get creative with standing vinyasa, floor backbends, and straddle flows to get you moving (and ease the load on shoulders, wrists, and elbows).

Strong, flexible feet create strong standing postures...and strong standing postures create strong, flexible feet.  Join us for a journey through lunges, warriors, triangles, and half moons with a focus on foot care and stability.

Another installment in our happy feet series. You'll care for your feet by paying them some attention, getting mobile, and using them to create stability. Plus, all the usual stretches and bends are here, too.

The long hot days are getting here, y'all. Here's one for when you want to cool down.

This one keeps it simple and keeps you moving. Perfect when the week has already been a lot...

Drishti and mudra are two practices within the practice of yoga that help our modern minds develop focus and presence. Drishti is the act of setting your gaze in a way that honors your intention. We practice setting our eyes to one external point during the practice of any asana to get more in tune with what's happening inside our bodies and minds. Mudra is the a practice of hand gestures that all...
