Journey Through Muscle

About This Class

This expansive, 92-minute flow class with Travis Eliot is structured as a progressive journey through the entire body. It opens with grounding breathwork in child's pose before building through multiple warm-up sun salutation series that layer in tabletop balance, Chaturanga, Cobra, and Down Dog. The standing sequence is ambitious, weaving Crescent, Warrior One and Two, Humble Warrior, Reverse Warrior, Triangle, Extended Triangle, Half Moon (Ardha Chandrasana), Chapasana, Airplane/Warrior Three, Chair, and one-legged balancing twists. Core strength is woven throughout via knee-to-tricep variations in Down Dog, side plank crunches, Boat pose leg-lowering series, and oblique twists. The floor sequence moves through Salabhasana, Bow Pose (Dhanurasana), Camel (Ustrasana), double seated pigeon on both sides, Bridge, optional Wheel (Urdhva Dhanurasana), Happy Baby, Plow (Halasana), and Shoulder Stand before descending into supine twists and a pranayama breath-retention exercise. The class finishes with a guided Shavasana and a group Shanti chant. Travis consistently frames the practice as purifying, tension-dissolving, and heart-opening, making it ideal for those seeking a comprehensive, vigorous flow that builds strength, flexibility, and mental focus simultaneously.
