A Message From Raegan:
This week, we’ll explore familiar postures in a way that feels fresh and new. We’ll revisit these postures as if reconnecting with an old friend, approaching them with renewed curiosity. We’ll return to the basics, focusing on the core principles of our practice rather than complex details. This is a conscious shift away from unnecessary complexity toward a simpler, more direct approach. Our goal is to reconnect with the foundational elements that make up our yoga practice and the way we move our bodies. The classes will be accessible to all levels, offering challenges for experienced practitioners while supporting beginners with guidance. Modifications, challenges, and gentle hands-on adjustments will be provided throughout.
The term “ebb and flow” refers to a rhythmic cycle of movement, much like the tides. “Ebb” signifies the tide moving away from the shore, and “flow” refers to it returning. In our Vinyasa Flow classes, we will mirror this rhythm—starting slow and steady, building momentum, and then flowing back down. Expect a practice full of twists, turns, deep stretches, alignment focus, breathwork, and nourishing hands-on adjustments. All levels are welcome and encouraged, with modifications to ensure everyone can move at their own pace.
By moving “Back to Basics”, we are building strong foundations to succeed, thrive, and achieve what matters most, in a more effective, sustainable, and healthy way.
