Three Dog Yoga Podcast

a complete body and brain refresh: this one gets you going with spinal mobility, delivers deep hip opening, and approaches traditional postures in non-habitual ways to keep you in the moment and moving skillfully.

on fridays, our 4:30p FLOW class has a vibe...it's low, slow, and deeply restorative. it starts and ends reaaaaal slow but includes just enough vinyasa for those of us who need to move in order to feel better. don't wait for Friday...this one's good anytime.

if you've got thirty minutes, we've got a Twisting Pigeon series that'll work your core, get your hips mobilized, and get you some solid breathing space. sounds good, right?

ooooh, this one feels good. it's a short, sweet flow to get you to all the active range of hip opening available in deep squats, 90-90 sits, and relaxed animal poses. bookmark this one for a good dose of hip strength and flexibility. want to help keep this podcast going? you can support us for $6/month at patreon.com/threedogyoga

if you're feeling tight, tense, or just grumpy it's time for a little uncorking...also known as decompression flow.  what's that? a blend of front and side body lengthening that works on your spine and hips to create length, ease, and spaciousness. you'll want to open this one again, and again, and again.

keeping it simple is good any day, particularly when life gets heavy or complex. in this short flow, we cover the usual vinyasas, followed by seated and reclined stretches.  

this one's a tall glass of water...well, something like that. it's based on the principle that moving your body through all its ranges of motion increases circulation and hydration in your tissues. so, it's a line up of hip openers, side body openers, and twists. we think it's the best way to get unstuck physically and mentally. but also: have that tall glass of water.

this one's all about making your body a happy place to live. we start with setting intention to balance out whatever needs balancing and then work through a shoulder opening and backbending flow to recognize and utilize our ability to create space and freedom. give it a go any time of day or night when you could use a little redirection of your energy into making this moment a good place to be.

yes, yoga can refresh your brain...it's all about circulation...the more to your brain, the better. so we focus on getting upside down, relaxing the muscles of the face and neck, and letting the body do it's thing. p.s. it also feels realllllllllll good to your body.

feeling some mental fatigue? just want to think more clearly? this one's for you. it starts with Supta Baddha Konasana and moves backwards into vinyasa...easing your mind and body into focus and serenity. good any time of day, and especially after a day at work or a challenging workout.

Need a mental break? Let's get physical. Move with your breath, focus on its quality...you'll be refreshed and ready for anything!

In this one we mobilize arms, upper back, neck and shoulders to leave you feeling open and energized. Joining us via podcast is a smart move on this one...we spare you the studio "skunk tornado" and just so we're clear: while it's a little smelly, its also legal here in Northern California.

just about any yoga you do can be energizing (or calming...or best of all, both). this practice focuses on backbending with skill and ease to open up your posture and leave you feeling light and calm. perfect for when life is giving you heavy chaos...or when you just want to feel good in your body. enjoy!

seriously...this one takes all the stress out of arm balances, because we don't do any. ok, we sneak in an optional one at the end, but it's only optional. what we do is focus on some of the principles of arm balancing that we can use in other postures to feel stronger, more engaged, lighter, and more open. and that's good stuff. enjoy!

when the world spins out of control, grounding and centering practice is where it's at. in this class, we move steadily through simple, strong vinyasas, toward two challenging balances: eagle and dancer.  you'll finish feeling calm, focused, and ready for what's next.

is a low key revolved triangle even possible? yep. try this spin (pun always intended) on it.

nothing like a little (or a lot of) Ostrich Pose for cleaning out the static in your hips, shoulders, and brain...toss in some active range of motion pigeon action, a few deep squats, and steady deep breathing, and this one is everything you need to get focused for your day or refreshed for your evening.

this one gets the job done in just about 25 minutes...steady flow, back body opening, and a good twist or two to wring out anything that's weighing you down.

in this strong and focused flow, we make some fun with Standing Leg Raise, leaving aside the traditional alignment and working it in flow to strengthen the hips, hamstrings and core. plus, we'll cruise into some really nice stretching and relaxation at the end.

one of the coolest things about vinyasa yoga is how it helps balance energy. when you're wired, it gives you a method to channel that energy with a nice strong workout...and when you're tired, it'll give you a boost that you don't have to push yourself to achieve. how? through consistent, steady breathing paired with full-body movements that open up all the right spots. enjoy, y'all! and thanks for practicing with us!
