We’re closing off the first week of the challenge taking it back to basics. Linking our movement with our breath, we move at our own pace, whether you choose moDEAfy or turn it up, but we never compromise quality. In this first week we focus on understanding the alignment so that we could build on the bigger postures as we move through the next four weeks. Get ready because next week we’re turning it up a notch as we focus on vines and arm balances. 

TEMPO: Solid and strong 

DIFFICULTY: Brave beginner 

VIBE: True foundations

We’re back for Day 4 of The Challenge with a slow boDEA burn that ends with a well-deserved deep stretch. This slow burn is all core & legs. We focus on building awareness and strength through slow, fiery sequences. This gives us plenty of time to dial into the details of alignment and engagement, and of course feel. The. Burn. Once the heat is built, we slow things down with juicy stretches for the hips, hamstrings, and shoulders. This is a classic boDEA burn…
hate me now, love me later.

TEMPO: Slow and strong
DIFFICULTY: BRAVE (emphasis on brave) beginner
VIBE: “small but effective”

Life happened, and Day 3 of The Challenge looks a little different than planned. I’m often reminded that sometimes the greatest lesson in this practice is learning how to surrender when life takes an unexpected turn. I’ve come down with a gnarly infection so my friend Emelie stepped in at the last minute to lead you through a moDEAfied, intentional, and incredibly strong foundational flow.

This class is about building the strength that compliments the foundations to your practice. Start in a moDEAfication, learn the alignment, and watch your practice evolve - we focus on quality over quantity, building strength from the ground up. Em will guide you through finding the alignment in your plank, the mechanics of a chaturanga, and the reminder of creating space in the hips during your step-throughs and learning where to hug skin to muscle to bone, and where to open and soften in your warrior II and crescent lunge so you can move with more power in the days to come.

TEMPO: Foundational and moDEAfied
