Podcasts about classic flow

This is a 40-minute Classic Flow. This class features a well-rounded, continuous flow that invites you to connect not only with the breath, but your whole expansive being. Move, feel, breathe, enjoy. That is my mantra for this class. We flow through a slow warm-up, then proceed on to Sun Salutations emphasizing posterior chain strength, and then settle into dynamic standing postures that twist, expand, and open. We wrap up with gentle hip opening and backbending, and coast into a peaceful savasana. Modifications and options are offered to help you listen to your body and honor its needs in each moment of the practice. Enjoy!

This is a 45-Minute Classic Flow. We start standing, and we don't stop moving for the next 40 minutes. This class is a tribute to a centering, movement-as-meditation practice. We cover virtually all the standing postures, so if you are a fan of warrior sequences, this may be your kind of class. The pace is the pace of measured breath. The difficulty level is accessible to most. The experience overall is what asana is all about - returning to the body again and again, feeling the breath, noting the heartbeat, and being fully present. If you are craving a deep in-the-body experience through yoga, this class is for you. It offers a well-rounded asana practice grounded in the vinyasa tradition. Enjoy!

This is a 35-Minute Classic Flow. This nearly-continuous flow is my answer to requests for a shorter comprehensive practice. We begin standing at the top of the mat and continue moving until savasana is cued. The pace of this class is steady but sustainable. Lunging Sun Salutations provide the structure for the flow, and powerful, balance-based transitions challenge our habitual Vinyasa patterns. You will have a chance to pick your own adventure in getting back to downward-facing dog again and again, so feel free to mix it up and diversify the stressors on your body. Plenty of standing postures are offered in addition to standing hip opening and hip strengthening postures. We wind down with seated postures, bridge, easy reclined twists, and ball pose. If you are short on time, but would like to be long on non-frantic asana, this class is for you. Enjoy!

This is a 50-minute Classic Flow that offers a well-rounded practice strongly rooted in breath. If you have ever wondered whether vinyasa yoga is really breathing meditation disguised as movement, you may find the answer in this class. The anatomical focus of this practice is the core, and we work on both its strengthening and lengthening, while performing absolutely no sit-ups. All core-work is seamlessly built into the flow, the vinyasa variations, and transitions during Sun Salutations and standing postures. That's right, there will be no reps of anything. Plenty of options are given for leveling up or taking it easy. No matter which route you take, this class leaves you feeling powerful and balanced. Additionally, it offers a simple pranayama technique for immediate relaxation that you can take with you anywhere. If you have been waiting to jump back into your practice or are looking to mix up a tired routine, this class is for you. Enjoy!

This is a 60-minute Classic Flow, offering a well-rounded journey through classic postures with a focus on length in the side-body. After a luxurious start, we proceed to rounds of modified Sun Salutations that include Crescent Moon and Wide Leg Forward Fold. Building a strong foundation gets special attention here. We dial up the intensity as we move breath-to-movement and then level-up by adding Crescent Lunges, Triangle and Goddess to the familiar flow. The descent into stillness is mindful and slow. If you are looking for a flow that has it all, including a balance between movement and rest, this is it. Enjoy!

This is a 50-minute Classic Flow. There are few greater pleasures in the life of a yogi than starting the day with a morning yoga practice. Roll out the mat the night before and allow yourself to step out of bed and right into your practice. (Of course, this class may be done at any time of day). We begin slowly, honoring the body's universal desire to wake up gradually and mindfully. Before you know it, however, we are flowing breath to movement into a variation of Sun Salutations A emphasizing spinal flexibility and hamstring opening, and then into Sun Salutations B focusing on balance, standing hip opening, and power in the lower body. This class offers a well-rounded journey through both restful and effortful asana and can be done again and again due to its focus on length, suppleness, and strength. If starting your day with breath and intentional, mindful movement is your jam, this class is for you. If you prefer to start the day in a burst of frenzied activity, this class will be a positive change of pace. Try it and enjoy!

Classic Flow

This is a 50-minute Classic Flow. This continuous flow class offers an opportunity to experience your practice anew, each breath - a new moment unfolding. Each round of postures offers something new to step into and keeps the practice flowing while challenging expectations and muscle memory. Anatomical emphases of the class include twisting (easy twist, standing twist, extended revolved hand to foot pose, revolved standing wide leg forward fold), posterior chain lengthening (half splits, standing splits, standing wide leg forward fold) and hip extension (mountain pose with goal post arms, camel, bridge). Standing and balancing postures give ample opportunities to begin again by recommitting to your effort and starting fresh with each new breath. If you need a meditative flow to remind you of the gift that is the present moment, this class is for you. If you need to step out of your daily routine and do something full of challenge and grace, this class is for you. Enjoy!

This is a 40-minute Classic Flow. This class features a dynamic, continuous ladder flow working up to Dancer Pose. With each round of flow, a new pose/movement is added to the sequence. Repetition allows breath and movement to become second nature and invites us to enter a state of awareness and full-body presence. The principal physical foci here are hip extension, hamstring opening, and inviting suppleness into the spine with gentle backbends and mild twists. Additionally, we ignite the core and activate the shoulder girdle. As always, this well-rounded class offers an opportunity to gradually wind down and sink into rest. If you love flow, this class is for you. If you find flow to be too fast-paced, this class is also for you - it is paced very well, if I may say so myself ;) Enjoy!

This is a 40-minute Classic Flow. Are you looking for a shorter, but still well-rounded practice? This episode is your answer! Lunging blended Sun Salutations, powerful standing postures that gradually dial the hips open, shoulder opening, backbending, active and gravity-assisted twists, 360 degree core work, and a gentle wind-down. This flow addresses all major energy lines in the body - the front, the back, the sides, the outer leg, the inner leg, and the inner arm. It is certainly an energizing flow and would make a fantastic morning practice. This class has it all in a compact package. Enjoy!

This is a 50-minute Classic Flow. This practice is a breath-focused journey that features several types of Sun Salutations with prostration, Danda Pranam. If you have been holding on tight lately, this class is for you. Each exhale in this offering reminds you to let go, to soften, to release, and to fully arrive into the body.  This class is an offering from my personal asana practice. This is the form practice I do every morning before I sit down and explore the stillness within. On some days I do more asana later on, but this sequence is one that I do every single day. Rain or shine. Happy or grumpy. Rested or dragging. It is my daily reminder to let go: every time my forehead touches the floor in danda pranam, I soften, I surrender, I offer myself to something bigger, something unknown, something sacred and abundant. I invite you to join me in this practice. Perhaps when you are done, you may have time to sit in quiet contemplation with no agenda and to just be. Namaste, friends. Enjoy!

This is a 60-minute Classic Flow. The first class of 2020 is all about nurturing a deep connection with your heart center through mindful movement. With breath as our constant companion, in this well-rounded practice we explore the upper chest in 3D. Front to back and side to side, we practice integrated heart-opening. Special attention is given to *intentional* core engagement and hip extension, as we work up to Wild Thing side plank variation and one-arm Camel pose with a twist. Gentle backbends build on one another, and high plank variations say hello. Standing series invite lower body to the party, leg-day style. Eagle everything, from chair to Warrior 1, makes an appearance, so don’t say you were not warned. The wind-down gives you an opportunity to fully experience the emotional effects of your asana practice. Newly found space in the heart center creates a deep sense of overall well-being, so why not bask in this state of softness, presence, and contentment? Stay as long as you like. Happy New Year, Yogis! Enjoy!

2020 YOGA RETREAT ALERT (see below)! This is a 75-minute Classic Flow. For those still searching for the perfect gift (for yourself; you know, to make the Holidays bright), look no further. This is it. I invite you to discover ease and contentment in your own being as you flow through this rebalancing Vinyasa class. This breath-focused class is the ultimate moving meditation to balance the body in every direction - top to bottom, left to right, front body to back body. We begin with attention to breath, then explore dynamically making space in the thoracic spine - a theme that will show up many times during this class. Lunging Sun Salutations A explore hip extension and hamstring flexion breath to movement, then rounds of standing series dial the hips open, one featured pose at a time - Crescent Lunge, then Warrior 1, then Warrior 2 and finally Horse/Goddess squat. Balance elements highlight the need for stability through engagement in the lower body. Camel pose takes advantage of the hip extension work and offers the opportunity to explore the space created in the mid-back. The juicy wind-down features seated hip openers and their counter-poses. We work up to Firelog pose, through Half-Pigeon and Baby Cradle pose. You will feel like one happy baby by the time you roll onto the back and rock side to side. As stillness washes over you, you will know exactly what to do with your breath. Just be with it, one beginning, middle, and end at a time. Happy Holidays, Yogis!  2020 YOGA RETREAT ALERT! A shout out to yogis who like to travel and are looking to plan some away-yoga-down-time into their upcoming 2020. I am planning my week-long yoga retreat offerings for the second half of 2020. I am thinking Bali in the Fall and Sayulita, Mexico in December. If you are interested in receiving more information, email me at hello@flowwithme.yoga. The gist is this – I am partnering with the highly-reviewed Drishti Journeys to offer you a transformative yoga and travel experience: two daily yoga practices, lots of local color and exploration, fantastic food, and decadent accommodations at private villas. Retreat group size is intimate, so there will be a lot of quality time with yourself and the natural beauty around you.

This is a 60-minute Classic Flow. Simply put, this class is a moving pranayama practice. We link breath and movement, breathing and moving continuously for most of the practice. The goal of the class is to cultivate an evenness of breath while minimizing setup instructions and unnecessary talking. Have you ever been in a yoga class where you are sucking wind the whole time due to the whirlwind pace of the practice? Well, yep, so have I. This kind of class is missing out on the biggest element of yoga – an even, steady BREATH. While we lengthen many parts of the body during asana practice, lengthening the breath is the most important element of any Vinyasa Flow (cue my breath-centric soap-box). To breathe evenly, continuously, steadily is to remain centered. As we practice on our mat, we develop the ability to take this breath with us into challenging situations off the mat that leave us holding in exhales, stifling our power, and feeling off-kilter. Can you keep an even and steady breath at the very bottom of Chaturanga Dandasana? Or is it your pattern to rush through it to minimize the challenge? There is no fast-forwarding through the difficult parts of life, but we can certainly strive to meet them from a centered, steady place. This practice focuses on back-bending and hip extension. Eventually we arrive at Wheel Pose, then keep on going to a juicy wind-down and rest in Savasana. Sun Salutations A take a progressive flow approach to classic lunging salutations. Sun Salutations B flow continuously and focus on the inseam and back line of the legs. Expect to lengthen the side seams of the torso with twists and to strengthen them with side planks. This is an all-around kind of practice. You would be hard-pressed to call it over-cued. You may find yourself fully aware of your breath as you go on about your day afterwards. You may find yourself being fully aware of the present moment. And isn’t that the heart of yoga? Enjoy!

This is a 65-minute Classic Flow. The focus of this class is lower body, especially outer hips, glutes, and quads. Your attention will be repeatedly drawn to your feet in order to create balanced muscle engagement and stacking of joints. Release expectations of classic Sun Salutations (beyond two and a half rounds of side-wall lengthening Sun A to calibrate the breath), be ready to move front to back of the mat, and take it one breath at a time. We will hold, we will flow, we will challenge muscle memory. Hip-opening horse squats and hip-strengthening active malasana squat with a twist make an appearance in this flow and invite you connect with your center. The center line is explored further in balancing postures like standing figure four and tree pose. Hip, core, and balance work come together in our peak pose – side plank tree leg variation. Half-pigeon finishes the hip opening theme with a bang, providing much-deserved ‘dessert’ as you hold and breathe. What has been opened must be closed, and in the wind-down we explore postures with neutral and closed hip alignment. Legs up the wall pose finishes our lower-body journey and prepares the body for rest in savansana. Enjoy! P.S. If you have a child that already began the school year, I bow to you for surviving the summer-to-reality transition and for rolling out your mat. Let’s GO, parents!

This is a 60-minute Classic Flow. The focus of this class is symmetry – front to back, side to side, to the front of the mat and to the back, clockwise and counter-clockwise. We explore all sides of the mat, and with them, all sides of the body. A fair share of hip opening and posterior chain activation comes into play as we hold, flow, and balance on the hands and on the feet. This class explores symmetry of movement, and you are invited to be a passenger on this yoga adventure. Let me drive, and just focus on the posture, the movement at hand. Worry not, you will be even and whole by the end. This is an exercise in trust and in restraint. The pace of this class is moderate, but it will make you work. Classic Sun Salutations A and B get a make-over, and not one Vinyasa transition (high-to-mid plank, up-dog, down-dog) makes an appearance. If you ever find yourself thinking that yoga classes have a formula, this may make you think otherwise. Flying Frog is one of our peak poses, and so is Tree Pose. An all-around core-activating segment invites every side of your torso to the party. You will feel well-worked. How can you not, when you have held a forearm plank? If you get easily bored, this class is for you. If you love routine, this class is also for you. You will feel at home while also discovering something new about your practice. Enjoy!

This strong sequence of balance poses is all about moving from your centre - uddiyana bandha - to find equilibrium even when things feel a bit upside down. Your mat is fertile ground to explore this balancing act, to find ease amongst the effort, and softness in your strength. Maybe you can carry this feeling off the mat and into your daily life? Maybe your own exploration of balance in this class can echo the sweet balance you’ll hear in the music, between the resonant strum of the guitar strings, and the warm, penetrating breath of the shakuhachi.   Music composed and recorded especially for Classic Flow, performed on guitar by Steve Allen and shakuhachi by Riley Lee.  Sorrow Phillip Houghton arr.  Steve Allen (9:07)  Just Another Day Steve Allen (10:05)  Nature’s Mirages Sally Greenaway (4:51)  The Legend of the River Red Gum Richard Charlton (10:45)  Hear more beautiful music on ABC Classic  radio.abc.net.au/programs/classic/live  Follow Classic Flow on Instagram @classicflow_yoga   Get in touch at classicflow@abc.net.au

This is a 60-minute Classic Flow. This well-rounded practice is built around the idea of squaring the hips and twisting from the mid-back. We open the shoulders, ignite the core, challenge the quads, glutes and hamstrings, and work on isolating spinal twists while keeping the hips level. Chest-opening and shoulder-waking Sun Salutations A give way to Sun Salutations B featuring Crescent Lunge and its core-challenging variations. Modified Pyramid Pose provides a hip-leveling check point as we flow and eventually becomes full Pyramid Pose. Revolved Half-Moon is the peak pose that we work towards and where we put it all together. This practice incorporates back-body work and offers poses for strengthening the spine. We wind down with a few reclined stretches that release tension in the hips and calm the nervous system. If you love Crescent Lunge, this is your practice. If you don’t love Crescent Lunge, this is your opportunity to flow through it and learn that discomfort is temporary and that your strength is infinite. Enjoy!

This is a 65-minute Classic Flow. This practice is as continuous of a flow as it will get. The special focus of the class is lengthening the sides of the torso and twisting more productively. Lengthening the sides and twisting go hand in hand, and we explore this dynamic relationship through a flowing practice grounded in a series of powerful standing poses. Moving through a variation of classic Sun Salutations A warms up the body, and special attention is given to waking up not only the front and back of the body, but also the side walls. Sun Salutations B continue to ignite the sides, while energizing the legs and opening the hips. The last series of standing poses work up to Revolved Triangle by way of Warrior 1 and Pyramid pose. A progression from Gate Pose to Modified Extended Half Moon presents the final challenge for the sides of the body, while allowing the heart rate to settle. Camel pose is the peak backbend offered in this practice, and it is intended to take advantage of the now supple side body walls. The descent into rest is restorative and slow, as always. If you are looking for a flow practice to take you out of your head and deliver you into your body and breath, this class is it. Enjoy!

This is an 85-minute Classic Flow. Let’s start 2019 with a BANG and BIG dose of presence! The first practice of Season 2 is a special, extra-long well-rounded practice that opens the chest, inner thighs, and outer hips. This practice offers a luxurious opening that allows you to truly arrive and relish in how good it feels to just move on your mat. Rounds of Sun Salutations A introduce gentle back-bending and chest-opening and ignite the quads. Sun Salutations B fluidly move front to back on the mat and back again, offering full body engagement in standing poses. A special focus on inner thighs will make you smile, or at least notice that you have inner thighs. Crow pose flies by. Fly with it or keep your crow grounded. This is your practice. The next standing series puts it all together as we work up to Airplane pose (aka Warrior 3 Airplane Arms), Humble Warrior, Triangle, and end with the lusciously restorative Wide Leg Forward Fold. As we come down to the mat, more hip openers are offered -- one-legged and two-legged -- as well as some gentle twists. Bound Bridge pose draws on the warmth we have built in our thighs and completes our chest-opening, back-bending adventure. As the descend into stillness begins, a sense of deep well-being is bound* (yoga pun intended!) to wash over you. This class will make your body hum with gratitude, pure joy, and warmth. Enjoy!

This is a 60-minute Classic Flow. In this class we bring the magic of breath to movement to the forefront of our practice. Rounds of Sun Salutations A wake up the spine, the core, and the hip flexors. Repeated rounds of chair pose bring energy and warmth to the quads, preparing them for standing postures. Moving Sun Salutations B work up to triangle pose, and rounds of one-legged plank flow gently work the core while featuring breath front and center. Warrior 1 and pyramid pose continue to prepare the legs for our peak pose - revolved tringle, which wrings out tension while challenging the sense of balance. Gentle backbends sprinkled throughout the practice are welcome counterparts to all the forward bending (and also to living in a hunched-over world). A mellow half pigeon and easy seated forward fold ease tension in the hips and lengthen the sides of the body. This class offers repetition in rounds of poses to let you focus on your breath, to let it shine, to let it rejuvenate you. We make shapes in order to access the breath and the sense of presence here and now. This class is intended to feel like a moving meditation, a journey within - with breath as your guide. Enjoy!

This is a 60-minute Classic Flow. In this class we address glutes and outer hips with strengthening and lengthening postures. Take this flow at your own pace and bring mindfulness to all repetitions of the offered poses. Instead of just getting through it, challenge yourself to be present and fully immersed in the journey. The destination is secondary, while the journey is the whole point. Echoes of poses you have seen earlier in the class show up later with a twist. Enjoy them! Welcome them! Take them up a notch, if you wish. After a gentle waking of the spine in Sun Salutation A without any chaturanga pushups, we move into a dynamic flow of standing postures in Sun Salutation B and belly-down core work which targets all three layers of the glutes; all I ask is that you follow along mindfully, feeling each movement rather than rushing through it. Gentle twisting in the mid-back paired with spine-lengthening concludes the ‘hard work’ portion of class, and after we take it down to the mat with Half-Pigeon (which can always be substituted with a reclined figure four stretch on each side), the ultimate hip and glute release. A few more relaxing stretches prepare your body for slowing down and going deep in Savasana. Enjoy!

This episode is a 60-minute Classic Flow practice. We focus on chest opening, work on the hip flexors, and discover the strength in our quads while holding and flowing through a fierce standing series. Core work gives the legs a break and fires up the abs. The second half of this energetic practice offers a counterbalance to movement and works up to Dancer’s pose and Floor Bow pose. Heart-opening binds, high-to-mid planks, deep lunges, gorgeous balancing moves, and a relaxing wind-down about cover it. This is a full hour of yoga, and you will feel worked out yet calm at the end. Enjoy!

This episode is a 50-minute Classic Flow practice. We open the front and back lines of the body, strengthen the sides, and challenge the core with movement and isometric holds. This practice is strongly rooted in classic standing postures and offers a beautiful Dancing Warriors flow. We hold, we flow, we open, and we stretch. We find time to wind down and internalize the benefits of the practice in savasana. This is a well-rounded flow that will serve you at any time of day, any day of the week. It will energize and center you. Enjoy!
