​Can't find your footing? Whether it's signs of aging, political  upheaval, or wildfires, big change can leave you feeling like you're standing on shaky ground.   Baxter Bell's new series helps us find our legs — literally and figuratively — from the ground up.

The legs are our greatest source of physical power.  When we build power in the legs we develop both corporeal and emotional firmness to walk through tumultuous times.  Develop more strength and stability from the ground up by methodically discovering the form and improving the function of the feet, knees, and hips. Leave feeling more confident and capable of walking through challenging times.

​Sat 02.15   Power + Stability: Feet
The feet are, in a sense, where the rubber meets the road.  Learn how to mobilize the many joints of the foot and strengthen it's many muscles for a firmer footing and greater balance. 

Sat 03.15   Power + Stability: Knees
Between the foot and the hip lies the knee, the highly mobile mid-point of our powerful legs. This session will address yoga poses and practices to increase power, mobility, and healthy alignment in the knees to keep a bounce in your step.

Sat 04.26  Power + Stability: Hips
Perhaps the greatest power zone of the body are the hips. Think of the mighty kick of a mule — that power is not coming from the feet or the knees....but from the hips, or haunches! Learn how to increase your power  by developing hip strength and mobility through yoga.

Sat 05.17  Power + Stability: Spine  just added!
Building on our "from the ground up" theme we see how the health of the spine and core grow directly out of the power of the legs. Learn how to further increase strength and stability of the spine and core through yoga.

Sat 06.14  Power + Stability: The Upper Body just added!
Few things feel more empowering than a little upper-body strength.  The confidence to catch ourselves if we fall, the stability to protect our shoulders from injuries and routine wear-and-tear.  Learn how to safely develop your upper body health and vigor thru yoga.​
