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 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.
