This 2-hour workshop is perfect for anyone who wants to learn Crow, Headstand, and Forearmstand. With arm-balancing it is all about finding the ‘right balance’; that’s easier said than done!

The foundation: Bakasana/Baby Bakasana

Front Hip Flexors & Quads

Hamstrings

Outter hips (abductors)

Moving Through the Heart Space I
Sat January 13, 2018 1:00-3:00pm
Price: $40
Register Here
Do you find the concept of back-bending terrifying and even painful? Then this is the perfect workshop for you to discover how to unlock your spine safely. Contrary to what we might think, back-bending can be quite therapeutic to back pain. We spend close to 90% of our day sitting, standing, and even sleeping with a posterior curve in our spine (rounding the back). This habitual pattern eventually causes our vertebra to mimic the action, slowly pressing the discs posteriorly overtime. Functional back-bending reverses this process, creating space and flexibility within your vertebra and muscles to allow the disc to shift back towards neutral. This 2-hour all-level workshop focuses on opening the space behind your heart - how to shift the 'bend' from lower spine to upper and middle thoracic spine, relieving the compression and pressure on your lumbar spine. We will move through this workshop in 3 segments introducing various conditioning exercises to not only increase flexibility but also to build strength for healthy backhanding.
Segments include:
-
Shoulders & Upperback
-
Front Hip Flexors & Quads
-
Lumbar Strength
The goal of this workshop is for you to learn and take the exercises and methods that we will introduce into your own home practice. Flexible body, flexible mind.

ASSISTING THE ASSIST
(teacher’s workshop for hands on assists)
Friday, September 6, 2019 | 6-8pm
If you’ve ever received an amazing assist, you probably know what a gift it can be! It’s a moment of connection, not only to yourself, but to your teacher. And if you’ve ever received a ‘not-so-amazing’ assist, you probably also know how ‘wrong’ it can feel. To hold the space of a teacher is a gift, and to provide a hands-on assist is a responsibility of trust and space. Learning how to provide an illuminating assist is not only empowering for the student, it’s empowering for the teacher as it shows just how impactful energy and touch can be. What’s required is a deep listening of the senses (yours and your students) and to know how to apply technique to that listening. Come learn how to see, apply, and assist in this 2 hour workshop.
