Root to Rise / Lunges&Twists / MAMA Slay
•Root to Rise is a ‘warm up to peak pose’ class without traditional vinyasa flow transition – GREAT for beginners AND a challenge for established students as it creates heat and energy through longer holds and repetition.

Explore poses not usually practiced like “Bound Tree” and “Compass” pose. Hot but doable and so fun you won’t even notice how sweaty you get!
MamaSlay is HIIT w Dani (and her twin baby boys) and will guide you to a great workout with extra attention to core and post-partum alignment and SAFETY!
