Hips Don't Lie

Welcome to day 10, the final day, of our #ElevatedSocialDistancing challenge. Today, Rachel closes us out with some killer drills to work on our hips! Because who doesn't love some work on the hips! Hip-openers are some of the most popular and requested types of asanas {and no doubt, your yoga teacher's favorite thing to teach}. They bring release to areas of tightness that many people suffer from. There are over 20 muscles that work across the hips, such as adductors in the

Welcome to day 9 of our #ElevatedSocialDistancing challenge. Today, Liz talks to us about mobility and deepens our understanding of what “being mobile” actually is all about.

Namaste In My Chair

Welcome to day 6 of our #ElevatedSocialDistancing challenge. Today, Charley leads us through a gentle chair yoga sequence, because Namaste In My Chair, #amIright?! With all of the extra time we're spending seated these days, it's even more important to continue to move our bodies. Chair yoga is a gentle practice that anyONE and anyBODY can do, anyWHERE you are! In addition to receiving cramps in the body, stiffness and tightness from being seated, it helps us increase cirucla
