Build a Flow!

About This Class

This hour-long power yoga flow class with Travis Eliot is designed to systematically "build a flow," layering pose sequences with increasing complexity. The class opens in child's pose with an extended breath-centering and Ujjayi introduction before moving through repeated warm-up rounds that emphasize spinal twisting — cobra twists, standing twists, chair twists, and revolved crescent lunges prime the body early. The standing sequence is rich and progressive: crescent lunge, warrior two, side angle pose, half-moon, twisting triangle, reverse prayer standing balance, warrior three, and standing splits are all visited on both sides. Core work arrives mid-practice with boat pose (Navasana) and boat pumps with oblique twists. The cool-down is methodical and restorative — supine pigeon (thread the needle), happy baby, reclining straddle stretch, plow pose, shoulder stand, and bilateral reclining spinal twists lead into a guided Savasana. Throughout, Travis frames the practice around letting go of tension, stress, and the need to control, explicitly drawing connections between twisting, detoxification, and releasing anxiety. The breath — especially the Ujjayi wave — is treated as the central anchor of the entire experience.
