Three Dog Yoga Podcast

get strong and grounded with a core-awakening flow, then traditional vinyasa and a focus on balancing in Eagle Pose.

because: why not?

take half an hour and move through all the major yoga shapes...your hips, spine, and shoulders will thank you.

the Sunday 75 made a surprise appearance this week!   in this episode, we move through the complete three dog sequence outlining why we do what we do.   the big answer: bringing body and mind together into a relaxed, regulated state...so that we can enjoy the good things more and handle the other stuff more effectively.   if you've got an hour and fifteen, jump on a mat and remember why you practice! if you don't, break it down into manageable pieces...do what you can, when you can!

the power in power yoga is bringing body and mind together in a well-regulated state of being -- one that allows you to access your strength, your inner peace, and your mental focus. the asanas are just the vehicles through which we experience that state. one of the most demanding postures of our practice, Parivrtta Trikonasana (Revolved Triangle) is a good example of a pose that asks you to harness your strength, calm, and focus.   this practice will take you through a preparation sequence designed to draw out your most engaged Twisting Triangle...then finishes off with decompression and relaxation.

this end-of-the-week wind down is good anytime. you'll move; you'll breathe; you'll set things right.

the week of daylight savings time can be an energy-suck...this practice can help you get your mojo back. we start with spinal mobilization, get moving with simple vinyasa, then spend a good amount of time with one-legged balance postures, easy backbends, and deep hip openers. it's lovely. really. we hope you'll give it a go anytime you want to relieve stress, refresh yourself, and feel better all over.  

this is a really nice well-rounded practice focused on a relaxed approach to balance challenges and hip opening.   enjoy!

what your ribcage and underarms have to do with your side plank? everything. this practice deep dives on the well-loved, awkwardly named Stepover Side Plank to strengthen and lengthen your side bodies and leave you feeling light and happy all over.

want better balance and arm balances...one way to do it: activate and strengthen your hip stabilizers. this practice will teach you how, and get you an overall feel-good, full-body flow. highlights: core series, five warrior flow, eagle/dancer/ankle to knee flow, a deep dive on tree, and eight-angle arm balance.

this one starts with some trigger point therapy for feet and calves...no special tools required. after a good bit of restorative massage, we get into a strong flow and wrap with calming stretches and relaxation.

a well-balanced vinyasa practice focused on building strength and range of motion in hips and shoulders, as well as developing healthy posture through strengthening backbends. highlights include: microlunges, deep squats, eagle, dancer, makarasana, and eight-angle pose.

few poses work the feet, hamstrings, and hips like Parsvottanasana/Pyramid Pose. this deep dive gets intense, but stays calm with generous opportunities to return to your breath and investigate new ways of working familiar postures. lunge salutations, crescent lunge twists, and triangles focus on leg flexibility...and a complimentary backbend series brings balance to the equation.

ok, this ones a little bit of a departure...but when you've got some high performing athletes in class, you train a little differently. we start with hip mobilizers, move on to some agility and balance drills (there's talk of sprinting, but it doesn't happen)...and then we do some legit flow and asana work. and of course, there's Savasana. try it...we bet it becomes a favorite!

this well-balanced flow is focused on enjoying the body you're in....strengthening, opening, balancing, and relaxing make up a well-rounded practice to leave you feeling happy and free.

want more ease of movement...and healthier seated posture? try this joint-nourishing practice for your full body. you'll move lightly and with skill, then enjoy a short seated meditation.

a vigorous flow with some balance challenges and hip openers. enjoy!

this one starts with Viloma pranayama...also known as layer cake breathing...it’s a technique that encourages body awareness and a focused, calm mind. then, we get moving in a breath-focused flow, followed with calming hip openers and relaxation
