41 MIN

PROPS NEEDED: 1 Bolster + 1 weight (5-10 pounds)

Want to break a sweat? This lower body practice is fire! Starts with necessary foot and ankle work to prepare for this mostly-on-your-feet workout. A great training for greater range of motion in the hip and thigh area that is sure to help with gait (walking pattern). We train hip extension without borrowing from the pelvis or lower back which means deep core work is inevitable throughout. Expect loaded lunges and hip hinges that will work your legs to their maximum. Ends with a spring stretch and rest.

Cautions: ankle, knee, wrist, shoulder loading

56 MIN

PROPS NEEDED: massage balls + blocks + blanket

Calling all glutes! Get your butt muscles firing on all cylinders in this one. Starts with massage to access balanced ankle and foot mobility and stability for a bunch of tough standing work. Single leg work is the theme here. Be prepared to gather insight on how your legs are working individually compared to as a pair. Squats and deadlift preps are included as ways to integrate the learnings. Ends with cooling stretches like pigeon and the figure four.

Cautions : knee + ankle loading (minimal wrist and shoulder loading)

61 MIN

Props Needed: 1 Block + 1 Blanket + YTU Balls

Starts with a massage for the shins, quads, calves and hamstrings to work out potential imbalances in these tissues. We move on to actively engaging these muscles to build up our strength and control and to increase our active range of motion. We work 360 degrees around the hip and thigh muscles targeting every fascial line with challenging lunge sequences, and movement patterns that require skill, balance, and attention. This is definitely a hip focussed class if you are looking for that kind of thing.

Cautions: Ankle, Knee, Minimal Shoulder + Wrist Loading.

59 MIN

PROPS NEEDED: 1 resistance band + optional blanket

Power. Strength. Healthy Stress. Feel it all in this one. Working with resistance builds our overall capacity, control, strength, and active range of motion as we work to safely overcome forces without overwhelm. This class is a good experiment in training to ride the waves of life, the ups and downs, with presence and grace. The meditation at the end connects the purpose and intention of the physical work in this class to the big picture. Leave feeling confident, secure, and ready for whatever is up for you to face with grace.

Cautions: Knee, Ankle, Shoulder loading

23 MIN

PROPS NEEDED: 1 toning ball

Oof! It starts strong and just keeps on demanding your attention and energy until complete. The weighted ball adds quite the challenge to our regular hip rotations and if you stay true to form, you might feel humbled by the range of motion you actually own. This class is a total wake up call for your hamstrings and glutes. Deadlifts and squats included!

Cautions: ankle, knee, wrist, and shoulder loading

40 MIN

PROPS NEEDED: 1 massage ball + 1 squish ball

Description: Feel it all! Discover hidden tension along the whole posterior chain with myofascial massage for the bottoms of the feet, calves, and hamstrings. Beyond that, expect loads of active stretching for all of your hip and thigh tissues that will put your muscles to work.

Causations: Knee, Ankle, Shoulder loading

41 MIN

PROPS NEEDED: 1 Blanket

Feet, knees, and hips - get ‘em:) We use our base positions increase the challenge to actively move into our end ranges. Notice familiar mobility drill patterns that feel harder to tackle due to increased internal tension. Hip rotations with short and long levers in a variety of positions are a highlight. This class also includes great-feeling foot and calf stretches.

Cautions: wrist, shoulder, ankle, knee loading

56 MIN

PROPS NEEDED: Wall + Optional Pillow

Wall Class! Warning: expect your blind spots to be revealed. Starts with basic standing mobility drills as a warm up. We use the wall for external input for drills that help to prepare the toes, feet, ankles, and hips for the journey ahead. We tease our way in and out of yoga shapes to ensure that we have what it takes to actively exit a pose several times over. Expect single leg work that will challenge your game and maybe even lead to some shaky leg moments. And yes, we do pigeon pose in this one…

CAUTIONS: ankles, knees loading

59 MIN

PROPS NEEDED: One blanket for slidable surface

This class will take you through a whole lot of mindful preparations and training for an intricate movement pathway that will have you shifting, tipping, and turning around on your tush! The full expression of the seated movement pathway that we explore comes with a long list of prerequisites. We train at our end-ranges of plantar flexion at the ankle joint, knee rotation and deep knee flexion, hip flexion in both external and internal rotation, and progress to multi-joint training so that we can build-up towards the pattern. We learn the pattern piece-by-piece and eventually get to express it fully which challenges our coordination, skill, and capacity.

CAUTIONS: Loaded foot, ankle, knee joints
