Ecstatic Chill 3.1: Spiraling Galaxies
Sunday 1/21/23
3 - 4:30pm PT / 6 - 7:30 pm ET
$12-20 Sliding Scale Drop-in
Included in $33 Monthly Membership
In our first monthly Ecstatic Chill class of 2024, we’ll explore poses that ask deep rotation of our spines in various orientations to gravity, including parivṛtta vaśiṣṭhāsana (rotated side plank) and parivṛtta śīrṣāsana (rotated headstand). For those not yet ready for these advanced postures, we’ll also touch on preparatory ways to begin to add these to your practice. Metaphorically and psychoemotionally, twisting postures task us with remaining in the still center of ourselves, even when there is so much movement happening at the periphery.
Ecstatic Chill is a monthly Vinyasa Flow + Yin + Restorative Yoga mini workshop in a monthly subscription or drop-in format. Each Ecstatic Chill class begins with a somatic exploration and a vinyasa flow warm up, builds to a crescendo, then melts into longer-held poses, lots of rest, and centering breathwork (prāṇāyāma). We’ll explore intermediate and challenging poses in generative tension with restful ones, allowing ourselves to be supported as we redefine what it means to go deep. Though intermediate poses will be offered, this class is appropriate for all levels.
Purchasing the class also entitles you to the replay for 30 days following the livestream.
Upcoming Ecstatic Chill dates: Sundays: February 11, March 17, April 14, May 19. Dates may be subject to change.

Whole Body Roll + Release: Somatic Foam Rolling for Functional Mobility
Sunday 1/7/24
12 - 1:30pm PT / 3 - 4:30 pm ET
$15-25 Sliding Scale Drop-in
Included in $33 Monthly Membership
Join Bex for a luscious sesh of sweet myofascial release! Whether you’re an avid roller or a newbie, you’ll leave this workshop feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, with new release and self-massage techniques for mobility and ease in your daily life, fitness and yoga practices, and beyond. Foam rolling promotes flexibility, lessens soreness and stiffness, stimulates blood flow, and supports the distribution of a healthy amount of tissue tension. In this mellow-paced workshop, we’ll spend 90 minutes nourishing our connective tissue in a flowing exploration of whole-body foam rolling techniques.
Some yoga asanas will be featured to integrate the powerful potential for a healthy range of motion that myofascial release can offer. You’ll leave with a better understanding of your connective tissue, including fascia and its role in the musculoskeletal system, and strategies for keeping it nourished, comfortable, and supple. Learning to tune into the mind of your connective tissue as a meshwork of sensation, support, and lubrication is a wonderful way to deepen your understanding of your body and your movement.
Purchasing this livestream class also entitles you to the replay for 30 days.
Here’s what you’ll need:
(1) foam roller (36” is best, but shorter is ok if you already own it)
(2) tennis, lacrosse, therapy, or pinky balls in a mesh bag or a sock
(1) 8-9” pilates ball
(1) OPTP Soft Release Ball
