Three Dog Yoga Podcast

when you need to calm down, focus in, and get centered, a simple practice that links breath to movement is where it's at. get yours here.

hot days call for cool yoga...postures that don't create too much heat, but instead relax the muscles and calm the nervous system. this full-length session has everything you need to get moving, but stay cool. enjoy!

forward-head posture -- aka tech neck -- is a real thing. this full-length, full-body practice will help ease sore neck and create better posture by focusing on how you're aligning your head in the most common vinyasa postures.  enjoy and repeat!

this full-length flow class focuses on moving in ways that help eliminate the tension and stress in our upper bodies brought on by sitting at a desk, working with your hands, or being generally stressed out.  keep it around for those days you could use a little ease in your life.

sometimes you just need a good knock-off-the-rust flow. this is the class for those times.

when you really need a good night sleep, hip openers and inversions are the yoga go-to's that can help. this power practice starts strong and calm, keeps that vibe, and finishes with a long hip opening series to calm body and mind.  give it a whirl next time you're wired and tired, jet-lagged, or just need some serenity in your day.

in this flow, you'll relieve tension and stress while finding center and exploring possibilities. plus, a good Monty Python reference is hard to pass up.

this one's full of simple mobilizers for neck, shoulders, upper back and hips to get you loosened up on days that require a lot of sitting tight.   keep it around, it'll treat you well.

sometimes the teacher just tells it like it is. this is one of those times.

take an hour and enjoy your life!

hot days call for chilling out. but sometimes you want to get a good vinyasa on, too. so, how do you do it? focus on postures that open up the body, create space, and move out from center, rather than curling in. want a few ideas? just press play!

what do hip openers have to do with mental clarity?  well, pretty much any yoga asana can get you there...but this practice in particular focuses on moving through challenging hip openers (plus, a few handstands) with calm, steady breathing as a way to get your mind into calm, powerful focus. also, you'll probably sleep good tonight.

in this episode we start with tension relief for hips, shoulders, neck and upper back. we pair those with core strengtheners to get you moving well from your center...why? to relieve the load on your neck and shoulders as you flow. speaking of flow...during the vinyasa, we focus on moving the arms through center, rather than swinging them into position, to achieve a more balanced, stress-free neck and upper back. all of that said...this is also a really good well-rounded practice that your whole body can feel good about.

this FLOWTATION class focuses on directing (and redirecting) our attention toward uplifting ourselves through our practice of asana and vinyasa. your ability to direct and redirect your intention is one key to living your best, happiest life. your yoga mat offers a great place to hone this skill...so grab it  now, roll it out, and let's get lifted!

got half an hour? you can have it all. well, if to you having it all means full-body mobilization, balance practice, moving meditation, deep stretch and quiet relaxation.

we're all pretty good at zipping through our days, weeks, and months on autopilot. yoga gives us a chance to slow down, be intentional, and remember what we really want. so grab a mat and do just a few minutes of this class...then maybe a few more. then a few more.  pretty soon, your brain and body will feel awake, alive, and at ease in the moment. it's a very good place to be.

achy joints? we all get them from time to time. yoga helps. this gentle flow takes the time to mobilize and stabilize your joints in the proper ratio...to get you moving well and feeling better. take it at your own pace, breathe, and enjoy!

get ready to treat yourself well for the next hour. we'll start in any resting pose you like with three forms of breathing that help clear anxiety: 1. Third Eye Gaze -- closing your eyes and setting them to the spot at the very front of your forehead helps bring the mind in, out of overwhelm 2. Somatic-Focused Breathing - in which we feel how the breath moves the body by placing our hands on our centerline. 3. Rhythmic Fingertip Tapping -- moving the fingers on the body in soothing, calming percussive techniques that calm the mind and the psyche. then, we start moving with releasing stretches, hip-opening vinyasa, and generous feel-good stretching.

looking to get more flexible? ease into it with these three principles: // start with a rhythmic warm-up ... moving at a steady, continuous breath pace lets your body know that nothing abrupt is going to happen, so it's safe to let go. // stay with your stretch for 30-60 seconds ... this is the amount of time it takes for a muscle to start to let go. // move through both active and passive ranges of motion ... vinyasa yoga is great for this.

what's the true power of POWER yoga?  getting outside the box and exploring what's possible...going beyond our default, but without an agenda. why? defaults and agendas keep us limited ... when we allow curiosity to take the driver's seat, anything is possible. this class will challenge you to think bigger, ask the important questions, and try new stuff...be prepared to rise to the occasion. you'll be glad you did!
