Three Dog Yoga Practice Podcast

this one's a non-stop - but no hurry - 25-minute vinyasa to get you on the mat on the days when it's hardest to get there (i.e. the days you need yoga the most!). it'll hit all the right notes and leave you feeling refreshed, centered, and ready to tackle whatever's next.

getting to your mat -- any day -- is way above average. take a moment to give yourself credit for being here...then enjoy the rest!

happy 2022, y'all! we're kicking it off with a full-hour of focused flow...move, breathe, and start the year feeling fresh!

whatever the temperature, a solid vinyasa practice with steady attention to ujjayi breathing helps your body get warm from the inside out. side effects may include: more mobility, mood elevation, and increased focus throughout the day.

a feel-good practice is always a good idea...this one's perfect anytime you want to feel better fast, and keep feeling better all day/night!

the thing is...you're not toxic. your body already detoxes itself quite well. but...after indulgences (or insanity), it can feel really good to practice in a way that focuses on making space around our vital organs so that they can do their work of cleaning house more effectively. also, making space just feels good...so bring on the spinal mobility, twists, and side bending! happy holidays and eve...

working your way toward traditional splits (Hanumanasana) isn't easy...but can be approached in a way that leaves you stronger and more flexible, whether or not you ever get to the ground. on the way, there's lots of hip opening, hamstring strength, and heart opening to be had for every body!

want an active practice minus all the chaturangas and dog poses? done.   this one keeps it light on the hands, wrists and shoudlers...and focuses in on dynamic motions for the hips and core. enjoy! visit threedogyoga.com for more on how to join us for online or in-studio classes. to support this podcast, visit patreon.com/threedogyoga.  

get back on the mat with a gentle flow to open up all the tight spots. word to the wise: gentle doesn't have to mean easy...just a way of approaching practice that cultivates ease and well-being...and that's for every body! visit threedogyoga.com for more on how to join us for online or in-studio classes. to support this podcast, visit patreon.com/threedogyoga.

hip opening doesn't have to be long, slow, deep holds...it can also be a mobilizing meditation that creates nimbleness and freedom. you'll energize your whole body with this sequence that starts with reclined and seated vinyasas, moves to more traditional salutations, and winds up with seated stretches.

life tends to happen in a pretty linear plane...whether you're working at a desk, riding a bike, or scrolling on your phone. this practice incorporates circular motions to shake things up and keep your muscles and joints working in their optimal ranges of motion.

when you need to get warm quickly...whether on a cool morning, before that long run, or after a day at the office...this one fits the bill. we start standing and move to salutations, backbends, and finish with dynamic seated stretches.

want more core strength and spinal mobility? spend an hour focused on moving into and out of backbends with power and ease.

one minute of Balasana (Child's Pose), 27 minutes of straight-up vinyasa flow, one minute Savasana and one minute seated meditation. perfect.

this one starts off with a light core warm up and moves into a full body flow...a neat little strength and flexibility practice to fit into any day.

in this episode, we take a deep dive into Side Angle Pose to create an integrated experience of strength and ease in body and mind.

in this episode, we focus on using the spiral lines of the body to get more out of your twisting asanas and build mental focus...you'll build arm, leg and core strength and stability.

start (or restart) your day with a little shape shifting -- sun salutations, warriors, back bends, side bends, and twists -- to feel better all over.

in this episode, we focus on Revolved Triangle Pose with particular attention to hip opening and abdominal action. it's a good all-around vinyasa practice, too!

this one keeps it simple: move, breathe, feel better.

this one focuses in on core work -- to center your mind and body -- and on developing the sense of spaciousness we all have when we step out of our stuff and live in our bodies.

a strong and meditative flow...equally good for waking up or centering in.

a good one for anytime you need to ease up on yourself and find freedom in your upper body.

for the month of October, we're focusing in on abdominal strength as part of a well-rounded yoga practice. this 45-minute session will build all-over strength...both physical and mental. enjoy!

Warrior 3 is a challenge for your abdominals, balance, hamstrings, and focus. in this 60-minute session we prepare the body and mind to take on the challenge, with a well-rounded vinyasa practice...then we dive into details on how to build your skills and suit the pose to your body/practice goals.
