NOT FOR BEGINNERS. These are live Vinyasa Yoga classes for students who already know basic alignment and want to flow. Philip Urso, Renee Deslauriers and other teachers of Live-Love-Teach Yoga School. We specialize in teaching Yoga Teachers the skills and presence to teach dynamic, synchronized…
This is a one-hour Synchronized Vinyasa Yoga Class. For Live Love Teach Yoga Teacher Trainings see www.liveloveTeach.com
A lot of what we love about this approach to teaching is what is not being said and not being done. We believe in simplicity and challenge. We teach connection. Complexity forces the student into their heads. A wall of words of instruction forces the student to filter out the teacher, disconnect actively. We believe the class should be student-centric versus teacher centric. What to say comes from what the teacher sees, so it is relevant.
(Heads-up- this is a video of whole hour class - Bigger than usual file, 1.3 gig.) We thought it would be fun to Go-Pro one of our synchronized vinyasa classes. It was the 2015 Thanksgiving morning class at Rhode Island Power Yoga. The class was co-taught by Philip Urso and Renee Deslauriers. They both had a head-mounted go-pro - so you get their view - plus there were two more fixed go-pros. This is a good example of a Synchronized Vinyasa Yoga class as taught by the LIVE LOVE TEACH Yoga Teacher Training School. www.liveloveteach.com
SYCHRONIZED VINYASA--- When Philip asks you to match group breath - soon after you will follow the vinyasa listening to the group breath only- with no cues from Philip...just the breath to repeat/follow the previous salutation. TEACHERS notice how Philip inserts "how yoga works" language.

Hi -It’s Philip Just back from a weeklong Advanced Yoga Teacher Training given by Stacy and me at Stacy and Dave Dockin’s newest studio, in Ft Worth, Texas, on the Trinity River Trail. It’s truly beautiful and I look forward to offering more trainings there. Next month Stacy is offering a 200-hour for new teachers, and many others. This is a class taught by the group of “graduating” teachers at the very end of the week. Enjoy!

Philip's public class during a teacher training at Live Love Teach teacher Mandy Roush's thriving studio.
I discovered that Dayton is a haven for hipsters! I was at Practice Yoga - a cool studio there owned by a Live love Teach teacher – Kathi Kizirnis- and Kim Carter. I taught a weekend for a teacher training they were doing…and also taught some public classes- this is one of them. The first 18 minutes is a Q and A you might find interesting. The rest is a compact, fast moving dynamic vinyasa class. A tad over an hour. As always, we assume you already know basic poses and alignment. If you want just the class, cue it up at 18 minutes and get into down dog!
This is a class from our recent 5-day LLT teacher training in Mexico. The teachers all took a part and taught it on the last day. One remarkable part is that there is are number of teachers who never taught before this training and they are just mixed in …as always we assume you already know basic alignment- this class is one hour and 20 minutes.

Here is a 45-minute Dynamic Vinyasa class. Philip Urso starts it and Stacy Dockins finishes it -as usual we assume you already know basic alignment and want to flow. Then Deborah Williamson takes you through a 35-minute Yoga Nidra. If you have never done the Yoga Nidra- “yogic sleep” you may find it exceptionally restful. One study I saw claimed 1-hour of Nidra was equivalent to 4-hours of “regular sleep. You could use these together or apart! The Nidra begins at about 42 minutes in--- Enjoy! Live music by Kellie Lin Knott – if you listen you can hear a big fire crackling in the fireplace. It you’re ready to practice, get into Chair pose, Utkatasana right now!
I thought you might enjoy this very unusual class. It is a teacher training drill from Live Love Teach’s recent 5- day training in Montana. It is a complete 75-minute class, yes, but it is taught by all the teachers in training – 3 minutes each! In this drill, you will hear the teachers playing –playing is the right word- with breath and flow, tension and release, and expanding their range of expression. (Most of the time we are broken into small groups- occasionally we join into one big class) There are all levels of teachers here- brand new teachers and experienced ones , and – many styles- teachers of vinyasa, ana forest, astanga, and others. More info see http://www.liveloveteach.com/ As always. we assume that you already know basic alignment and want to flow. This is not for raw beginners, but if you know basic poses and alignment you should be ok.
Brief announcement of Philip's new Yoga School, formed with Stacy Dockins and Deborah Williamson: Live Love Teach Yoga School, then flow into 1 hour class.
Short meditation discussion; class starts at 10 minutes
Fun filled, quick but complete hour class! Great energy at Deb's studio as always in beautiful Appleton WI
This is gonna rock! Baptste Vinyasa. Short stop in Crow. What is relevant now?
This is a Sunday 8AM class that builds consistently. What do you value? Being right or happy. winniing the arguement or Love? What is the overriding priority in your life? If you say love is, then why aren't you always loving? When you are not loving can now be seen as the greatest of gifts, showing you exactly where your priorities are off. Where healing, forgivness, awakening is needed. Where love is not the top priority, is your compass showing precisely where your spiritual work is.
Tuesday night at Salt Pond Yoga isn't the same without Lauren's joke
Alignment means the charge of the fight in the pose disappears in stability and relaxation. This smaller class feels like a relaxed, private class.Side crow from standing prayer twist Excerpts from Seinfeld episode, The Opposite. Repelling girls. The power of being authentic.Opposite abwork. Emergency hip pose. Girdles. Ray Long. The body exhibit. Purpose of alignment.
Funny- fun Salt Pond Yoga at its best
One of the HOUR-LONG early morning 5:45 am classes at Salt Pond Yoga. Philip is practicing. Moves well.
Yoga Bootcamp 2 HEADS up This is not a yoga class, but the first discussion from the Day Long Yoga Bootcamp I taught in September at ALL That Matters, the largest holistic health center in New England. This discussion follows the class posted called Bootcamp 1. You are going to get the entire bootcamp- pretty close. This discussion is about Intuition and what blocks it. We first discuss the idea a flow from the book Beyond Boredom and Anxiety. It defines Flow, what we call presence, as the space in-between boredom and anxiety. His study included athletes, but applied to all of us. We want to increase our experience of flow or presence because we get a large hit of intuition, and that always feels great. At about 11.5 minutes we begin to draw a map of what blocks us from our intuition- this is pretty fun. The map we draw is called the “red donut‿ “almost famous‿ from my Podcast, “A Crash Course in Miracles.‿ This is pretty fun discussion and expands pretty far. I hope you enjoy it. Please look in the iTunes window- a picture of a red Donut in included with this post. If you are looking for more yoga, it’s coming in the next few posts- there may be one more discussion first- maybe not. Then I have a backlog of classes to post. Thanks.
Please note: This is Part 1 of a day-long "Yoga Bootcamp" I taught in September at All That Matters, the largest holistic health center in New England. You might want to do this with a friend. It's 2:41:00 in total or you could take parts. It begins with a talk on Intuition into a Short meditation (7 minutes) which begins at 19:00 and flows into the Baptiste Vinyasa Yoga Class at 26:00. 00:00 Intro talk about Intuition (19 min)19:00 Meditation (7 min)26:00 Baptiste Vinyasa Yoga Class (2 hrs, 15 Min) I may post the other 2 parts of this bootcamp next, then I have a backlog of regular classes to post.
Caution: EXPLICIT (a few swear words) otherwise a fun class at SPY (SaltPondYoga.com) and interesting observations on Yogi Gump
90 minutes at salt pond yoga. Also see podcasts: Quotes from a Course in Miracles and A Crash Course in Miracles
Teaching A Crash Course in Miracles at Midwest Power Yoga they let me teach a little Yoga, too. Awesome studio and community!
Some discussion and demonstration of Half-Moon Pose and class starts in Down Dog at 4 minutes. Good jokes during Frog near the end. Two premises during class: 1) From your birth up to this instant does not exist, and, 2) the world and all information you receive from your senses is meaningless until you give it meaning.
Took a fun, should i say wild, class from the summer and as a treat added music, mostly moby
Slow-building vinyasa What is presence? Trying out my 15 year old daughter as announcer! My Odeo Channel (odeo/efc640acfc23675d)>
Challenging, fun, vinyasa with standing splits, seated splits. Resolution: I am responsible for my thoughts -the responsibility and the power of what that means.
Intense. The power of Presence. The power of decision. What is hard and what is easy? Ends with 20 minute Yoga Nidra at 1:10. Nidra is said to provide 4 times the resting power of sleep. I pulled the Nidra from the book Yoga Nidra by Swami Satyananda Saraswati.
I had been away assisting Baron at an 8-day yoga bootcamp in Costa Rica. When I got back we were all ready to go!
Friday afternoon smooth flowing fun class- active vs passive spirituality
