Workshops & Events

During this session, we will explore physical and energetic alignment in twists, and how this alignment informs yoga assisting practices. We will review several twist assists, both seated and standing, and have ample time to practice on bodies. The session will include a physical yoga class integrating these principles.

This workshop can be taken individually or as a series.

In this workshop, we will focus on increasing hip mobility and deepening hip openers. We'll start by warming up with a hip-opening flow sequence, then move into a series of longer deep hip openers. By setting up correct alignment to protect surrounding joints and by holding long hip openers, we will begin to remove discomfort & release tension in the hips.

This workshop will give new students an opportunity to explore the basic elements of a vinyasa practice; and will give advanced practitioners an opportunity to dive deeper into alignment and body awareness.

Everything is specifically designed to help you take your practice to the next level - mind, body and spirit - through a deeper understanding of the poses and how your body moves through them.

We will work to strengthen your drishti and develop your skills to tune into your own physical constitution in relation to the poses and their alignments. You will learn to be objective over what your body is saying and making informed wise decisions while applying cues to your poses while observing your own movement patterns
