Three Dog Yoga Practice Podcast

this one's a departure from the usual...don't get us wrong, it will feel like home: you'll breathe, you'll flow, and you'll dial stress way, way down. you'll also work a ton of balancing skills...just not in the way we usually do.

this one's super light on the hands. it has about two down dogs, each held for about half a breath, but you could skip those if you want. no hands + knees, no updog, no plank, no chaturanga, no wheel...but it's still a strong flow. how's that possible? press play and find out!

this all-levels, full-body flow keys in on lengthening your side body -- from your IT band, to your neck...you might even find the corners of your mouth lifting, too.

when it's time for a stronger practice, this one's got you covered. there's nothing tricky or complex. every body can do it...we move at an elevated pace, work strong postures, and then enjoy a really nice stretch and relaxation as reward for a practice well done. enjoy!

whether you're just getting up or in need of a mid-afternoon wake up call, this one will get you moving in all the right places. you'll flow through Cat/Cow, Sun Salutations, Lunges, Warrior Salutations, and finish with an energizing stretch...all in just under 30 minutes! done and done!

this one gets everything moving...in some non-traditional ways. starting with a little seated foot-massage and working through steady flow to a finish with some energizing hip openers, and of course, Savasana. enjoy! ESSENTIALS are our 30-minute FLOW classes with everything you need for a full practice in half an hour.

an all-levels, moderate-intensity moving meditation focused on steady, rhythmic breathing. you'll move and stretch your whole body, with extra emphasis on your core. we call it Sneaky Abs around here, because you just might feel it tomorrow!

yep. every body can do the pose known as Wild Thing... as in, we can all learn the key strengtheners and stretches that comprise this side-bending side plank. give it a go and feel more open in your chest and shoulders, and stronger in your back and abdominals.    

need a vacation? we can give you an hour of the lazy kid's guide to twists, hip openers, and side bends.

this one works the front (upper and lower), back, and sides of the core with a quick - but effective - flow. bookmark it and come back often to tone, strengthen, and stabilize ESSENTIALS are our 30-minute FLOW classes with everything you need for a full practice in half an hour. Morning ESSENTIALS classes focus on invigorating vinyasa, while evening sessions feature restorative stretching for a go...

what is reverse twisting? good question...it's just like regular twisting, but instead of focusing on the front side of the body, we focus on the back side. why? another good question...the muscles and awareness you create in reverse twisting lead to better posture, better low back health, and less neck pain. sound good? heck yeah, it sounds good. let's do it.

this is one to get you going. it starts with a focus in on steady ujjayi breathing and some opening stretches...then the salutations get rolling and keep rolling. keep it in your back pocket for when you want a quick energy boost or mental reset!

full of twists -- and pointers on how to do them -- to help you feel better.

ok, this one does get a little yoga weird...there's some face and jaw massage incorporated: great for clearing out the sinuses during the spring transition, and letting go of the tension we hold in our expressions. but there's also plenty of regular flow to get your whole body moving. you'll de-stress, find balance, and feel good. enjoy!

this one goes deep on revolved triangle and its component parts: strong standing postures, twists, and hip opening. you'll start slow and work your way up. also included: ridiculous chatter about ottomans and Monty Python references.

well, it started out to be about twisting triangle...and turned into a discussion about the Down Dog variation where you turn one foot out, bend one knee, tilt your hips up, stretch your hip and hope you're doing it right. then, the fabulous hellogretchen gives that word salad a rebranding that everyone (with a sense of humour) can appreciate.

this one starts with a good floor stretch, then moves up into steady flow and balance practice...a solid practice for shifting your energy anytime.

this one gets going with Down Dog and keeps going...through strong flow, balance and a mini-workshop on Revolved Triangle, right up to Savasana.

bookmark this one for when you want a strong flow without a ton of chaturanga...even if you don't need to go light on your arms, it's a good break from the usual. we move everything, pay special attention to posture, and take plenty of time to stretch out. thanks for playing! if you'd like to help keep this podcast up, running, and getting better, you can become a patron at www.patreon.com/threedo...

good question! kriyas are breathing practices meant to cleanse and heal the body...in yoga practice, at least the way we practice it here, they're usually breathing patterns linked to specific, repeated movements.  things like cat-and-cow could be considered a kriya...and one of our favorite is the Frog Kriya...no jumping or ribbit-ing involved. to learn more, just press play! to support this podc...

oh. heck. yeah. get in there and stretch that stuff -- whatever your stuff happens to be -- out. lots of lunges, twisting, side bends, and floor poses in this one!   

this one is all about getting back to feeling good...particularly when the days are rough and worry abounds. but even on a great day, more feeling good is a good idea. it starts in Savasana, takes a good long time in stretching out the usual tight spots, then works through just enough flow to get everything moving...and takes it back to some good deep stretching on the way back to Savasana.  

our inaugural Spring Clean flow dials up the: twists, side bends, light flow, and cleansing breaths. plus, only one chaturanga.  

whether it's a side bend or a straddle, moving your body in the lateral plane is a good idea when you want to elevate your attitude...life naturally pulls us forward and down, so going up and sideways can be a serious mood lifter. asanas featured in this practice include: lunges, standing side bends, seated straddle folds + side bends and a finishing backbend of your choice (or not!).
