SCHEDULE

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we first stretch and mobilize the wrists before weight bearing on the arms. Because the wrists are the foundation for all weight bearing postures on the arms, we devote the practice to hand, thumb, forearm, and wrist mobilization.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - On Earth Day 2024 we commit to conserving the precious prana we are given. In this class we explore how the ecosystem of the subtle body - the breath, bloodstream, and thought waves - is interdependent with all of nature. 100% of proceeds will be donated to Yoga for Climate Action.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - Called the Atlas for the way the Greek titan held up the globe on his shoulders, the first neck spine holds up the weight of the cranium. In this class we mobilize the neck and cranial base using rocking, sliding, tilting, and stabilizing movements.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class, we generate movement in the lower gut to mobilize the large intestine.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - The mesentery provides integration and support to all the abdominal organs. In this class we irrigate blood through the abdomen to reduce sluggishness and constriction and reduce excess fat from the mesentery.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we mobilize the low back in order to pump, squeeze, and expand the connective tissues that hold the kidneys into place.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - As its name suggests, the liver is the organ of life. In this class we do twists, arching poses, and inversions to improve circulatory flow through the liver.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - The lungs are the most essential organs of a yoga practice responsible for absorbing prana into the body. In this class we elevate, spiral, pump, and expand the lungs using SATYA, asana, and pranayama.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we use movement and meditation to optimize circulatory flow through the neck, brain, and skull.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we compliment the Breath of Fire with a soft, fluid, watery breath (the Breath of Water).

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we isolate the flow of air through one nostril at a time in order to gain the feel and dimensionality of the breath along the right and left sides of the body.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - Following the Sun/Moon Breathing practice, in this class we weave the breath back and forth between both nostirls. The classic “alternate nostril breath” requires sensitivity and dexterity in the fingers. Like playing a wind instrument, we practice to hit smooth “notes” while regulating the flow of breath.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we activate the sound, vibration, and pitch of the pranayama breath in order to impart subtle shifts in the brain waves and consciousness.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we trace the pathway of qi in the "microcosmic” orbit from the low belly (dan tian) upward to the “heavens” of the neck and skull.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - The pelvic loop involves a downward centering of the sacrum and tailbone in tandem with an upward scoop of the frontal hips. We explore the pelvic loop in order to effect the subtle dynamics of the pelvic viscera.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we focus on the juncture of the pelvic and kidney loop at L5-S1 in order to cultivate the internal lift of uddiyana bandha.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In the heart loop, we lift and spread the top chest while descending the shoulder blades in back. This movement lifts the lungs and heart upward from the diaphragm in preparation for pranayama.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - The cranial loop is essential for postural alignment of the skull. In all movements throughout class, we feel the continuity of flow within the pelvic, kidney, heart, and cranial loops.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - The lift of the palatine loop is essential for opening the internal airway of breath in the back of the throat while opening the sinus cavities leading up to the brain. In this class we overlap the cranial loop and the palatine loop with the revolving of the tongue backward.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - The sciatic nerve is the longest in the body traveling from the low back down to your toes. In this class we mobilize the lower sciatic nerve (the tibial nerve) as it tunnels through the knee, calf, ankle, and foot.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - The upper sciatic nerve is typically the culprit for radiating pain in the hip, buttock, low back, and upper leg. In this class we loosen the muscles that surround the sciatic nerve in order to release the structures of the hip, hamstring, and buttock.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - The brachial plexus includes a highway of nerves passing under the bridge of the collar bones. In this class we increase ROM in the arms while stretching and loosening the shoulders.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - The Trigeminal nerve has 3 large branches that govern movement of the eyes, jaw, tongue, and face. In this class we mobilize and the muscles of the face, repatterning sensory connection to the eyes, nose, and tongue.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - The vagus nerve is longest of all 12 cranial nerves. In this class we do vagal nerve stimulation exercises (stretching fascia, humming, breath retention) proven to reduce depression, anxiety, and paralysis.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - The goal of all hatha yoga is to open the central channel of the body. In this class we do movements to benefit the spine, spinal cord, and brainstem in order to create a free flow of energy through the body.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we mobilize the lymph in the upper inner thigh by stretching, pumping, and lengthening the fascia of the inner groin. In addition to opening the inner thigh, we improve lymphatic circulation through the foot, ankle, and hip.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In order to assist detoxification of the blood, there is an abundance of lymph throughout the abdomen. In this class we pump, twist, and lengthen the belly in order to improve lymph drainage in the gut.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we generate mobility in the rib, chest, and lung in order to strengthen the lung chi and ward off infection.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we pump, rock, slide and stretch the underarm and surrounding tissue to improve circulation of lymph through the shoulder and chest.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - There are numerous lymph nodes in the neck and throat that prevent unwanted bacteria from entering the body. In this practice we increase the flow of blood and lymph through the neck and throat to safeguard the body against infection.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In yoga there are numerous techniques to help promote blood and lymph through the face, jaw, and tongue. In this class we lift and stretch the soft tissues of the face while cleansing and rinsing the sinuses, palate, and upper throat.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we reduce sluggishness and lethargy in the body by lubricating all tissues while suffusing the body in feelings of serenity and delight.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we lubricate the tissues of the body - particularly in the joints, lungs, and brain. When we refine kapha dosha, we embody a loving, heart-centered presence.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we mobilize the solar plexus while steadying the flow of “fire” through the nerve endings, fascia, and organs of perception.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we practice to clarify the fire element. We practice “right fire” which is the clear path of neuromuscular flow in both movement and meditation.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class, we reduce bluster and agitation in the nerves while opening the hip joints and toning the lower abdomen.

TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we bring steadiness and ease to the nerves and also practice "motionless vata" which is the experience of pure consciousness.
