Rise & Shine: 60-Minute Quick Flow (Tuesdays with LaTesha & Thursdays with Aloysius)

Start your day with intention, breath, and movement. This energizing 60-minute flow is designed to awaken the body, clear the mind, and set fire to your spirit.

We’ll begin with a brief dharma reflection to connect our practice to a simple intention, then move into an uplifting sequence of dynamic movement, flowing breath, and strengthening postures. Expect to build a little heat, play with fun challenges, and leave feeling grounded, strong, and ready to take on your day!

Crow Pose (Bakasana) isn’t just about strength. In this workshop, Rebecca Crenshaw helps you learn the anatomy, weight shift, leverage, and body mechanics behind Crow and its “friends,” Side Crow, and Eka Pada Koundinyasana I, with options for everyone from the Crow-curious to experienced arm balancers.

You’ll build these poses from the ground up, with lots of individual trouble-shooting, progressive drills and strategic props, and plenty of time for experimentation, curiosity, and play! The goal isn’t to collect poses. It’s to understand your body well enough to know how to work toward them. In this two-hour workshop, we’ll explore the mechanics that makes Crow and these related arm balannces work:

- how to use your hands and wrists
- organize your shoulders
- create core compression
- shift your center of gravity
- work with rotation, and
- distribute effort through your whole body.


You’ll explore multiple ways into each pose—and there is absolutely no requirement that you lift both feet off the ground.

Did you know that most Yoga Teacher Training programs do not offer their trainees any clear path forward to real teaching positions? Graduates are simply congratulated and then sent on their way.

Plus, what most YTT programs don’t tell you is that many graduates don’t feel ready to go right into teaching public classes anyway. They need time to integrate all they’ve learned; they need time to practice.

This is why we designed Wild Lotus Yoga’s Budding Teachers program, the only one New Orleans, which gives graduates of our Living Yoga Teacher Training program a clear, accessible, and effective transition from trainee to teacher. The Buds program is free for all LYTT graduates.

Last week, we explored what Living Yoga Teacher Training is. Today, let’s talk about what it isn’t. 🪷
Living Yoga Teacher Training isn’t a quick certification or simply a path to becoming a yoga instructor. It isn’t about memorizing scripts, earning letters after your name, or following a rigid belief system.

Instead, LYTT is an immersive experience designed to help you deepen your practice, develop a greater understanding of yoga, and discover your own authentic voice. Whether you dream of teaching or simply want to enrich your life through yoga, this training meets you where you are and supports your journey of growth.
