Three Dog Yoga Podcast

this 55 minute flow wraps up a month of nimbleness training...we get up to some pretty complex poses by keeping it light and focusing on fun. press play and learn how.

spend an hour creating peace in your body through better posture. in this episode, we'll practice opening the front of the body to create more space for breath and lightness in the body.

our one-breath, one-step moving meditation. great when you want a strong flow, that's light on the details, strong on the flow state

Sundial is one of those asanas we don't do very often -- it's a little complex, a little awkward...but the pose itself is actuall not that difficult and getting there takes us through some great hip and side body opening. It's a good practice in not judging by appearances and being open to possibility, too.

Moving our bodies in all directions helps develop proprioception, focus, and coordination. Also, wow...your legs and core are gonna feel this.

If you want to get better at vinyasa transitions: look forward, lead with your heart (physically), and learn how to shift your weight strategically. Oh, and your core...you'll find that with this one. For sure.

the first in a month-long series on nimbleness...physical and mental. we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

how is down dog also crow? and how are both a full body (and mind practice)? hit play and find out.

side straddles, lunges, etc. to get you moving in unique and unusual ways...exactly what your body needs after sitting at a desk or on a plane. and it won't do your mind any harm to take a few minutes to breath, either. enjoy!

How to deal with a worry that's stressing you out, but you keeping picking it up anyway? Do what you do when you realize you've picked up someone else's pint. Put that thing down and act like it never happened.

breathe and move, y'all. breathe and move.  

want to relieve back tension? get into your entire back body: calves, hamstrings, low back, ribs, neck. we've got it covered in 30.

when it's time for a reset, getting back to basics helps. find your ground, lift your heart, follow your breath: your body and mind will come together in that thing we call flow. you'll feel better. you'll think more clearly. then, you'll get out there and do good stuff.

when you want to feel better: rest, recover, reset.

first: hydrate. then: flow with us through a flow to address the specific circulation needs of your immune and lymphatic system...it's a good time for it. want more like this...60 minute Immune Boosting Flow is dropping tomorrow.  

seriously, y'all. it's not so bad. once we get warmed up, you're gonna get a blanket...or a towel...and fold it the long way and lay it down the entire length of your mat, at center...then use that to pad the insides of your knees. you don't have to love it...but it's really not so bad. unless it is. then, you get out of it. but if you can stay and breathe with just a teensy, tiny modicum of ease, do.

when the teacher starts class with "i'm a big fan of lying on the floor today", you know you're in the right spot. but eventually we get up and move, focusing on following each breath to its natural completion to better align with the rhythm of the body, relieving stress and tension by embodying the present moment. plus, there's extra long floor work...like straddle folds and Viparita Karani.

yep. teacher caught doing exactly what teacher usually does before class: blasting Led Zeppelin. we cut the singalong, but left the outro. (bonus points if you can name that tune.) and if you are not amused, there's still some solid salutations, hip openers, and relaxation to be had.
