  • Kevin: Twist and Roll (59 minutes)

    Soften the abdominal wall from habitual gripping so that the belly has freedom to move properly in twisting postures. We move in and out of Down Dog, but this isn't a super flowy vinyasa class; instead it has more of a structural/alignment vibe.

    Explore side bends, forward folds, and twists in this sequence that will get you moving and flowing without putting any unnecessary pressure on the wrists.

  • Kevin: Headstander Helper (58 minutes)

    In this class, we cross-reference the actions of backward extension alongside those of virasana (hero’s pose) as a way to feel more secure in sirsasana (headstand).

    Belt, wall, blocks

    This is a class that helps you prep and build toward king dancer slowly. We also take the balancing aspect out of it a to play with the back bend and you can add it back in if you like. Its a fun, getting into your armpits kind of practice.

  • Miles: Let My Love Open The Door (69 min)

    Wall

    This is sort of a yan/ying practice, where we work slowly but methodically with lots of abs, Uddhiana and slow hip openers to build to ashtavakrasana arm balance (the crooked limbs arm balance), and handstand practice. It ends with a long viparitakarani (legs up the wall). Enjoy!

  • Miles: The Ramble (67 min)

    Two Blocks

    The ramble is one of my favorite trails in central park. Its aim is to allow you to get lost only to find yourself again. This practice is like that, a little bit of everything, in a moving meditation. It's a throwback to my classic signature style. Enjoy!

    While many of us feel a need to open the hips, there are some basic actions of the leg and the hip area that need to be understood for this opening to come in an effective way.

    In this structural/alignment-focused practice, we explore some key standing poses that will support the slow and steady process of opening the hips.

    This is not a typical vinyasa practice -- think more of a structural/alignment focused practice. Unpack what happens in the opposite sides of the body in a twisting pose and leverage this knowledge into a deep and satisfying expression of parivrtta trikonasana (revolved triangle pose).

  • Miles: Old School (68 min)

    Belt, Blocks
