About This Class

This 59-minute vigorous flow class with Temitope Sonuyi opens in Child's Pose with intentional breathwork — exploring open-mouth exhales, breath retention, and matching inhale to exhale length — before moving through wrist warm-ups, Cat-Cow, and Bird-Dog core sequences on all fours. The class builds into a full standing flow: forward folds, half lifts, Chair Pose, and repeated Vinyasa rounds (high plank, Chaturanga, Upward Dog/Cobra, Down Dog). Warrior sequences feature Crescent, open-arm twists, Warrior Two, Reverse Warrior, Extended Side Angle, and Triangle Pose on both sides, with Half Moon (Ardha Chandrasana) introduced as a balance peak. A dedicated floor core section includes supine leg-press holds, bicycle crunches with static knees, Navasana with leg extensions, and low-boat holds. The class then returns to standing for Pyramid, wide-legged straddle work, and Yogic Squat with an extended forearm-strengthening exercise. The cool-down moves through seated Janu Sirsasana, seated spinal twists, supine Happy Baby, and supine twists on both sides before a long, philosophically rich Savasana. Throughout, Temitope emphasizes breath as the animating force of every movement, core engagement in every shape, and a grounding, almost devotional mindfulness.
