Three Dog Yoga Practice Podcast

Need a little holiday (or any day) de-glaze? This hip opening flow is your ticket to a clear head, limber body, and enlightened spirit.

Low lunges, straddle lunges, and deep stretches all within a 30 minute keep-you-moving flow.

Urdhva Dhanurasana (Wheel Pose) is one of the high points of a vinyasa practice...but you don't have to get all the way to wheel to enjoy the benefits: front body opening, back body strengthening, and the all-around circulation boost that comes with a regular wheel practice. we'll teach you how...grab your mat, and let's get started.

why jump? it strengthens your legs, gives you a little weight-bearing bone-building exercise, and builds immunity by getting your circulatory system. so whether you jump a little or a lot, you'll be doing your body a bunch of good.

what's the magic of standing on one leg: increased focus, stronger core muscles, and insight into your energetic + emotional life. intrigued? or just want a solid FLOW class...grab your mat and press play.

what's a rubber band got to do with Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon Pose)? everything. choose this full-length flow anytime you want to explore the outer limits of your range of motion, self-awareness, and focus.      

a focus on Ardha Chandrasana challenges body and mind...in a way that leaves you feeling calm, centered, and self-regulated. we think it's a perfect way to start or end your day. cheers to you for getting on that mat whenever and wherever you can!

Natarajasana (Dancer Pose) is one of our most common requests. In this episode, we explore how to engage and mobilize the hip flexors -- particularly the psoas -- in this delicate balance.

Ardha Hanumanasana (Half Monkey God Pose) was the muse for this practice...one that will loosen the tight spots and bring unfocused energy or swirling emotion into steady calm. when you have time for a full-length practice, we highly recommend going half asana.

this one starts with relaxation and hip opening, uses Sphinx pose to ease the challenge to wrists and hands, then glides through standing postures to create a sense of flow and ease in body and mind. it's not necessarily easy, but it will leave you feeling lighter.

why is Sphinx so popular with three dog benders? find out in this core-strengthening flow. in this episode, we play with the crowd favorite as our backbend of choice in the context of a full-body vinyasa practice.

Parivrtta Trikonasana (Revolved Triangle) is a strong pose that engages body and mind in active hip opening. Dive into this practice when you want a strong flow, focused mind, and mobile hips.

Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) is great for many reasons...core strength, spinal mobility, and full-body opening. One of its key elements is grounding through the feet ... and it requires the kind of attention that bring body and mind into a calm, focused energy. Perfect for when life is handing you chaos.

this one's a full-body flow focused on relieving tension in the spaces where we hold mental tension: the face, jaw, neck and shoulders. keep it queued up for when you need it!

one of the best things about Koundinyasana arm balance is the prep work that leads to it....it's all hip openers and core strengtheners. and you never need to actually do the arm balance to get the benefits. press play, you'll feel it.

every yoga practice is about beginning anew. in this episode, we keep it fresh by focusing in on the basic movements of salutations with a focus on being REAAAAAALLLY good to your lower back. start over, any time. it's good for every body.

this one focuses on moving simply and breathing more for a powerful unification of mind, body and Self.

you are a bright, lively space...take 10 minutes and arrive at your own personal party of one.

when life (or yoga) gets tough, it's normal to get anxious, judgmental, or resistant...but you can also meet the challenge with curiosity. want to guess which one's more fun?

it's really common to get frustrated with meditation because our mind wanders, and we keep having to bring it back again and again. but that's actually the point. every time you catch your mind wandering, you're present again. and every time you return your focus to what you're doing -- sitting or lying down and breathing -- you get better at it. it's like doing pull-ups...it's the pull up itself...

when you're focused on the present moment, stress melts away. 100% accurate. living "in the now" sometimes seems challenging. that's why we practice. asana and vinyasa give us the opportunity to do what we're doing, fully and with intention...taking us out of overwhelm, worry, and hurry.  

ready to get clear for the day (or afternoon, or evening) ahead? this one's for you!

handsfree flow...no down dog, plank or chaturanga. just 360 degree core strengthening and restorative stretches. ahhhhhhhhh....

posture strengthening upper back work, detoxifying twists, and lunge-based mobility vinyasa. all with attention to breathing, presence, and allowing yourself to feel good.

time to reconnect to who you are and what you want. just press play.
