Foundation
We start with breath-work, intention setting and a warm-up that opens up the range you need for the flow.

Flow
State
Movement on the water
A Yoga x Mobility x Choreography Outdoors Experience led by Registered Yoga Teacher, NASM Certified Stretch + Flexibility Coach and Performing Artist Ogechi. FLOW STATE is yoga-based fluid movement class on the lake's dock. You'll learn a fluid flow routine, and move to three songs at three tempos, and end in a blissful sound bowl session sevasana.
What FLOW STATE actually is
It sits between a yoga class and a dance class. You get the breath, mobility, and grounding of yoga, plus a flow routine taught for fluidity through the spine and hips. Then you'll "dance" it to three different songs and end each run with an 8 count of your body's natural movement to the rhythm. We close with a guided body awareness meditation that leads into a sound healing session in savasana. With an Eight person max to keep things intimate, and ensure hands-on assistance is readily available. No dance or yoga experience necessary
Movement Fluidity
I teach a choreographed flow for fluidity and awareness through the spine and hips.
Three songs, three tempos
At the end we run the flow to a slow song, a mid-tempo song, and a fast one. Each run finishing with 8 counts of your own natural movement.
The setting
On the lake's dock at Sope Creek
We meet at the Sope Creek mountain biking trail's lake. One parking lot, one walkable trail straight down to our spot. Class happens on the dock, so we're on top of the lake, surrounded and secluded by the trees and the trail-way. No mirrors, no studio walls, the sun being our light.
- On the dock, directly over the water
- Open sky, trees, and the sound of the trail
- Eight people max, so everyone gets personal guidance
- Secluded by the trees and the trailway
