Three Dog Yoga Practice Podcast

you know the traditional ones...they're awesome, and...there's more than just pigeon and frog for mobilizing those sitting muscles. dive into this one for a well-rounded flow practice particularly focused on developing agility, ease, and general feelgoodness.

ok, it's probably not a real word...but it's a real feeling. it's like detoxification...except you're not toxic. but we all need to clear the white noise of life every once in awhile. this practice will do it with a strong, steady flow of lunges and twists to get hips, shoulders, neck and low back feeling mobile and stress-free.

the name says it all. this practice will work through various active hip openers, with an eye toward maintaining healthy spinal alignment and postural strengthening as we do. definitely the antidote to sitting in front of a screen...or curled over your bike!

we'll start on the ground with active hip openers and core body awakening...then proceed through a flow targeting the upper back and shoulder opening needed for Eagle / Garudasana and Wheel Pose. by the time you reach Savasana your IT bands and upper back will be thanking you for the TLC.

Crow / Bakasana can be one of those love it or struggle with it asanas...but it doesn't have to be. it's possible to take it apart and practice the core strength, body awareness, and patience that lead to solid arm balancing (and life) skills. this practice does just that...in the context of an all-purpose 30 minute flow that will leave you feeling grounded, centered, and just plain good.

tight hamstrings? we got you.   floor stretching + pyramind flow + triangle series = a go-to for anytime you need a relief from running, cycling, sitting...or all the other things that can tighten up the back of the legs.  

Warrior 1 is a great way to build full body strength and flexibility -- it's particularly good for opening the front body and strengthening the back. in this practice, we'll give it a little attention in the context of a well-rounded, breath-centered vinyasa practice. enjoy!

the Standing Series is the centerpiece of our vinyasa practice: it's the place where we develop strength, balance, and mobility, while focusing on the postural skills we need to stay upright out there in the real world. this practice flows through every pose in the series...we don't get too in the weeds with anything, but by the end, you'll have gotten a full-body workout, a solid stretch session,...

got desk sitter's posture? or runner/cyclist/hiker hips? this one's for you. we start with reclined stretches, move on to lunge variations, and make our way through sensible backbends to open the front body and put your posture back in line. a great start (or restart) to the day.

why is it so hard to rest when we're tired, spun up, or overwhelmed? asking for a friend... if you're that friend, this practice is for you. we start with getting the feet up, and proceed with care through a full-body restorative flow that will leave you feeling calm and energized. bonus! it's allergen-free. no utkatasanas or chaturangas were used in the making of this podcast.

we'll start with abdominal strengthening, move on to back strengtheners, then get the flow going with sun a's and deep lunge flows...then on to standing balance before finishing up with hip flexor release. lovely.

breathing...we all do it. all day. but taking 30 minutes to move and enjoy it...that's something special.

we start with abs...move on to strong flow...get deep in some standing postures...and finish off with a good stretch and relaxation. classic power class...will take you right back to 2012, if you've been hanging out here for awhile. by the way: thanks for that.

also known as: not-so-many-chaturangas-or-down-dogs, but make it flow. can do. enjoy.

this one's full of side body openers, twists, and other fun stuff for a full body and mind refresh. equally good for starting your day, or restarting it after a long day's work.

this one gets up to all the usual good stuff: we start with active hip openers (read: sneaky abs), move through a gliding vinyasa, finishing up with balance practice and shoulder openers.

enjoy an hour getting out of your head and into your body with lunge salutations that heighten awareness, hone your mind-body connection...and get you a really good all-over workout, too!    

get into the details of how you use your hands and feet to create lightness throughout your postures with Hasta + Pada Bandhas (Hand and Foot Locks)  -- and on the side, you'll get your flow, your hip mobility, backbends and balance work in.

we use three-legged dog pose in a lot of vinyasa transitions...this little tutorial talks you through alignment and action points to make yours safer, stronger, and more fun!

this one starts with vigorous salutations, then breaks down the anatomy of a lunge stance...you don't need to be "advanced" to keep up, but you'll advance your knowledge and awareness by playing along!
