Strength & Balance

About This Class

This expansive vinyasa flow class with Travis Eliot builds steadily from a grounding Child's Pose and breath awareness through a full-body athletic practice lasting approximately 90 minutes. The warm-up introduces Sunbird, tabletop, Baby Cobra, and Down Dog before layering in Sun Salutation variations with Ujjayi breath and breath-of-fire intervals. The standing series is rich and multi-layered, featuring Crescent Pose, Warrior One and Two, Humble Warrior, Reverse Warrior, Side Angle with a bind, Triangle, Half Moon (Ardha Chandrasana), Warrior Three, Standing Splits, and balancing peak poses. Chair Pose with twists and Prana Mudra add vitality and spinal rotation. The floor-based cool-down moves through Locust, Cobra, Boat-style core work, scissors legs, Happy Baby, Plow, Shoulder Stand, and supine twists before Savasana. Throughout, Travis frames the practice as a union of athleticism and inner awareness — encouraging mindfulness, equanimity, breath focus, and humility — making it equally a strength and mobility session and a moving meditation. Suitable for experienced practitioners seeking a full-body challenge with meditative depth.
