Yin yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissue of the body—the tendons, fascia and ligaments—with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. Yin is also a more meditative approach to yoga, aiming at cultivating awareness of inner silence, and bringing to light a universal, interconnecting quality. It is designed to help regulate the flow of energy in the body.

This workshop is for anyone who is interested in releasing tight muscles, realigning & improving how their bodies feel and function. Reduce and prevent injuries! Align, tone, stretch and improve performance using Yamuna Body Rolling.

You will learn how to get impact out of your joints and will walk away with a new sense of alignment in the bones and muscles of your hips, thighs, calves, ankles and feet. Better alignment decreases the wear and tear on your body. Unnecessary muscle tension slows you down and with Yamuna body rolling, you learn to dissolve this and restore suppleness and fluidity in a way that stretching never can.

Through the traditional practice of 108 sun salutations, we will release what we no longer need and plant seeds of intention for the New Year. We will flow through four variations of a Sun A (surya namaskar), each utilizing the fabric. While physically challenging because of the length of the practice and the repetition of postures, the sequences will be simple and beginner friendly.

Raise your vibration! VIBE Flow pairs whole body vibration boards with a dynamic vinyasa yoga flow to strengthen and tone the body, stimulate detoxification and promote mental clarity and well being.

It's time to clear out everything from 2020 that we no longer need so we can enter 2021 calm, centered and with clear purpose.

Each week, we will enjoy a 75 minute restorative practice and will explore a new self-care ritual in support of releasing old energy and inviting in new. Your tuition includes:

Eight semi-private restorative (non-aerial) practices at our Ballard studio
New yoga bolster that is yours to keep
A new handmade item each week personally selected by Jen to incorporate into our rituals. (These will range from a handcrafted journal to a healing crystal grid to a smudge bundle to energetically cleanse your space.)

Because the small crafters we are working with to bring you these items take time to create and ship their items, we appreciate your registration no later than October 20th.

This 30 day course includes 30-60 minutes of daily live instruction (Sun-Fri) with Flight Room owner, Jen, as she guides you safely toward getting your splits. Each day we will work on sequences designed to systematically open up the hamstrings, hips, quads and calves in order to deepen our version of the splits. We will work on both middle and side split variations and students of all flexibility levels are more than welcome. It's amazing how much progress can be made with daily focused flexibility work!

If you already have your splits, this program can help you achieve greater depth and better alignment.

Join us for a powerful mat-based series designed to transform your arm balance practice (a different kind of "flight!) For six weeks, we will move through progressively more challenging arm balances while building the core and upper body strength necessary to safely land them. Each class will start with a warming flow, strength based drills and workshopping 1-2 arm balances with time allowed for play and feedback from Elissa. Experienced flyers and those new to arm balances totally welcome! Note: while it's not required that you attend "live" (we will send a replay link following class each week), we definitely recommend it as it will allow you the chance to get feedback on your form and troubleshoot your postures.

Week 1
Crow, side crow, baby crow

Week 2
Eka pada Koundinyasana 1 & 2

Week 3
Elephant trunk pose
Astavakrasana

Week 4
Flying pigeon
Hummingbird

Week 5

In this seven week series with Alexandra, we’ll investigate the upside down. Inversions can bring about clarity, confidence and strength. They can also be scary, vulnerable and exciting. We will explore a variety of inversions as well as entrance and exit strategies as we make space for all of these feelings and experiences.

Each class will begin with a warm up designed to cultivate strength and flexibility. We need to be strong to get into and stay in our inversions, but we must be flexible with not only our bodies but our expectations. We will utilize the wall, blocks and blankets. Each week will build on the next as we bulk up our muscle memory so that we can try different types of inversions.

Inversions take time and practice! Your body not only needs to build muscular strength but also learn to reorient itself and remain calm. We want you to walk away from this practice not necessarily with any perfect postures, but with the confidence that you have a toolbox available to pursue inversions. Strengthening homework is strongly encouraged and exercises will be given in class.

Please take care of your body! For example, if you know that you have neck or spine issues or injuries, headstands might not be something you choose to explore. Use good judgement and listen to your instinct if you think you are in harm’s way. Not every inversion works well in every body, and not every inversion must be “conquered” just because it is presented in class. If something doesn’t work today, maybe you decide to try it next year, but because you took this course, you know where to start your exploration.

She was classically trained as a dancer at University of Idaho and American Dance Festival and completed her 200 hour instructor training at the alignment-focused Seattle Yoga Arts. She loves infusing her practice with creative movement and plenty of inversions.
