This is a one-hour Synchronized Vinyasa Yoga Class. For Live Love Teach Yoga Teacher Trainings see www.liveloveTeach.com

Thanksgiving Synchronised Vinyasa, Philip and Renee

A lot of what we love about this approach to teaching is what is not being said and not being done.  We believe in simplicity and challenge.  We teach connection.   Complexity forces the student into their heads.  A wall of words of instruction forces the student to filter out the teacher, disconnect actively.  We believe the class should be student-centric versus teacher centric. What to say comes from what the teacher sees, so it is relevant. 

GoPro VIDEO- Synchronized Vinyasa Yoga Class- 1.3 Gig

(Heads-up- this is a video of whole hour class - Bigger than usual file, 1.3 gig.)  We thought it would be fun to Go-Pro one of our synchronized vinyasa classes. It was the 2015 Thanksgiving morning class at Rhode Island Power Yoga. The class was co-taught by Philip Urso and Renee Deslauriers. They both had a head-mounted go-pro - so you get their view - plus there were two more fixed go-pros. This is a good example of a Synchronized Vinyasa Yoga class as taught by the LIVE LOVE TEACH Yoga...

Philip Urso from Unhindered and Unbound YTT 115

SYCHRONIZED VINYASA---  When Philip asks you to match group breath - soon after you will follow the vinyasa listening to the group breath only- with no cues from Philip...just the breath to repeat/follow the previous salutation.  TEACHERS notice how Philip inserts "how yoga works" language.

Dayton Rocks! Philip at Practice Yoga

I discovered that Dayton is a haven for hipsters!   I was at Practice Yoga - a cool studio there owned by a Live love Teach teacher – Kathi Kizirnis-  and Kim Carter.  I taught a weekend for a teacher training they were doing…and also taught some public classes- this is one of them.   The first 18 minutes is a Q and A you might find interesting.  The rest is a compact, fast moving dynamic vinyasa class.  A tad over an hour.     As always, we assume you already know basic poses and alignmen...

Mexico 2011 Teacher Training Class- all the teachers

This is a class from our recent 5-day LLT teacher training in Mexico.  The teachers all took a part and taught it on the last day.  One remarkable part is that there is are number of teachers who never taught before this training and they are just mixed in …as always we assume you already know basic alignment-  this class is one hour and 20 minutes.   Intr Paula Romkey Sun A:  Cameron Graves Sun A:  Shaena Campbell Sun A:  Bill Prysock Sun B:  Josif Wittnik Sun B:  Ellen Bain Standing 1:...

45-minute Dynamic VInyasa Flow followed by Yoga Nidra

Here is a 45-minute Dynamic Vinyasa class.  Philip Urso starts it and Stacy Dockins finishes it  -as usual we assume you already know basic alignment and want to flow.    Then Deborah Williamson takes you through a 35-minute Yoga Nidra.  If you have never done the Yoga Nidra- “yogic sleep” you may find it exceptionally restful.  One study I saw claimed 1-hour of Nidra was equivalent to 4-hours of “regular sleep.  You could use these together or apart!  The Nidra begins at about 42 minutes...

Montana Teacher Training Class- all the teachers

I thought you might enjoy this very unusual class.  It is a teacher training drill from Live Love Teach’s recent 5- day training in Montana.  It is a complete 75-minute class, yes, but it is taught by all the teachers in training – 3 minutes each!  In this drill, you will hear the teachers playing –playing is the right word-  with breath and flow, tension and release, and expanding their range of expression. (Most of the time we are broken into small groups- occasionally we join into one big...

Flow Builds, What do you Value More Than Love?

This is a Sunday 8AM class that builds consistently.  What do you value? Being right or happy.  winniing the arguement or Love?  What is the overriding priority in your life? If you say love is, then why aren't you always loving?  When you are not loving can now be seen as the greatest of gifts, showing you exactly where your priorities are off.  Where healing, forgivness, awakening is needed.  Where love is not the top priority, is your compass showing precisely where your spiritual work...

Yoga Bootcamp 2 Discussion

Yoga Bootcamp 2   HEADS up This is not a yoga class, but the first discussion from the Day Long Yoga Bootcamp I taught in September at ALL That Matters, the largest holistic health center in New England.  This discussion follows the class posted called Bootcamp 1.  You are going to get the entire bootcamp- pretty close.   This discussion is about Intuition and what blocks it.  We first discuss the idea a flow from the book Beyond Boredom and Anxiety.  It defines Flow, what we call presen...

Fun Flow at Salt Pond Yoga

Some discussion and demonstration of Half-Moon Pose and class starts in Down Dog at 4 minutes.  Good jokes during Frog near the end.  Two premises during class:  1) From your birth up to this instant does not exist, and, 2) the world and all information you receive from your senses is meaningless until you give it meaning.

How to use these yoga classes

Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga is amazing.  I rave about it here.  I am Certified by Baron Baptiste. You need to be an experienced beginner.  You will need to know basic yoga poses and safe allignment. Helpful to have a block and strap (or tie is a good substitute).  Heat the room.  Ideally, 90 degrees F and 60% humidity (use a humidifier if possible).  You will sweat alot.  Have water and towels nearby. If you get tired, dizzy, or find your breath has come apart and you are panting, ta...
