Strength

About This Class

This power-packed 30-minute yoga flow with Travis Eliot is designed to cultivate both physical and mental strength. The class opens in Child's Pose before moving through a progressive sequence of core-igniting tabletop work (sunbird/bird-dog), plank-to-Chaturanga vinyasas, Chair Pose flows with forceful exhales, and Crescent Pose pulsing lunges. Mid-class intensity peaks with side-stacked push-ups, Warrior Two transitions, goddess squat lateral ab crunches, reverse warrior, and forearm plank side-plank variations. A prone backbody strengthening series — Salabhasana, Bow Pose, and Superman-style arm-leg lifts — is followed by Boat Pose with twists, rope-climb ab work, and bicycle crunches to fully exhaust the core. The practice closes with a supine thread-the-needle hip opener, reclining twists for spinal decompression, and Savasana. Travis consistently frames the heat and burn (tapas/tapasana) as transformative, encouraging students to find calm within intensity and connect breath to mental state throughout.
