Adventures in Asana

Adventures in Asana is about the journey towards a pose. Along the way you will learn about yourself and how the body works. 

These workshops are a fun and playful way to advance your practice or just try something new! We’ll teach a progression of the pose, offering variations with props and modifications to find a version to fit your body on a given day. 

For each posture there are key skills and components one must put together leading into a graceful pose. You will learn the components and practice the skills required. You will also learn how to practice these skills at home so you can continue to build the required strength, mobility and motor fluency. 

You’ll have two instructors on your journey allowing us to offer multiple experiences of the pose and a better opportunity for individualized attention.

Breathing New Light on Asana & Pranayama

A study of the Yoga Sutra II 46-51

The breath is considered central to Yoga, but it is difficult to “grasp”.

Studying what the Yoga Sutra has to say on asana and pranayama and examining the sutras closely will make clear as to how we can keep the breath central to our practice and take advantage of this very powerful tool. The benefits are seen and realized almost immediately.

This understanding has been foundational to the yoga therapy that T.K.V. Desikachar became renowned for. It, in fact, leads us to the very goal of Yoga.

This workshop will comprise the chanting and study of the relevant sutras, and the practice of asana and pranayama.

Ravi & Sheela Shankar both studied under T.K.V. Desikachar and have decades of experience teaching and leading retreats worldwide. You can find out more about both of them here.

This will be a two-day in person workshop over the weekend of June 7 & 8.

Investment: $190

Space is limited.

Movement Improvement -Move Well Then Move Often

The body is brilliant, it will choose the path of least resistance and avoid the things that don’t feel good. It just makes sense! When it feels good to move, you are more likely to move! Learn how to improve your awareness, decrease pain and move better so you move longer.

Yoga is a foundational piece of training and compliments other physical disciplines so it’s the perfect place to start.

Open Studio

This is a minimally structured time to come in and have your yoga asana questions answered. Experienced yoga teachers will be available during this time to help you trouble shoot your poses, finding variations and nuances to help you create both ease and effort in your practice. Each session will have a different pose or movement the instructor is prepared to talk about but anything is fair game.

These are appropriate for both beginners and experienced practitioners.

How does it work?

Sign up and stop by! That’s it. You can stay for the whole time, or just a few minutes! However, long you need.

iRest Yoga Nidra- Sankalpa Workshop

iRest Sankalpa Workshop

iRest is a form of meditative inquiry where we engage dynamically in a process of exploration and inner knowing. At a basic level sankalpa is defined in Sanskrit as an intention or a vow.

In iRest, this is known as “The Three Resolutions”. During this workshop, we’ll explore each one of these: Intention, Heartfelt Desire and Inner Resource to lay a foundation of inquiry (what is our aim at this moment and for our lives) and inner knowing (sense of Being or Wellbeing).

iRest is based on ancient practices and is a secular meditation that can be practiced by anyone.

All levels welcome.
