If you have struggled to maintain a positive relationship with exercise in the past, or have sustained an injury and find yourself hesitant or anxious to re-engage with exercise, this workshop is for you. Come learn the systems at work in self-protection, their interplay, and how we can work within them to increase our safety, lessen our anxiety and internal resistance, and improve our overall relationship with struggle and discomfort without overwhelming our bodies or minds. To ensure a positive experience, space is limited – please e-mail to reserve your spot.
Posture Workshop
How much does your posture say about you? Your confidence and presence, your strength and mobility? Our spines, the literal backbone of all our movement possibilities, do not get nearly enough love in the modern-day life most of us lead. Come learn just how much this central bone column affects our every movement. Learn to care for and respect your spine, and be wowed by how much it will give back to you when properly supported.
Gait Workshop
Learn to walk! With balance, strength, confidence, and grace, and without pain. Come learn the gait cycle, the chains of muscles involved with a healthy gait, identify your personal missing links, and strengthen them, one step at a time. Space is limited – please e-mail to ensure your spot!
Explore Your Asana
Explore the possibilities of asana modification from an anatomical perspective. Whether you are a beginner to yoga or a lifelong practicer, this workshop is designed to teach you to adjust your movements safely and effectively for body type, injury/pain, and area of focus. We will start from the classic anatomical position, observe what tradition tells us our asana postures should be, and then explore what adjustments might make the position more comfortable for us and our unique bodies, in all that they are experiencing in that moment. We want you to empower you with knowledge such that when you leave this class, you can enter a group yoga class and be able to modify your position to amplify your personal practice, instead of relying on generalized instructor cues that may or may not benefit you specifically.
