Core Integration: A Total Abdominal Awakening
All Levels
Access the deepest part of your core and welcome its ecstatic potential. Core Integration
is a Yoga based workshop specifically addressing issues lodged deep inside your core,
not only physical, but also emotional and spiritual. Unlock the power of your center
and reconnect to the stories buried within.
This series of deep
abdominal exercises strengthens you from inside out and is designed to penetrate
weak muscle fibers, awaken sluggish organs, stretch scar tissue, and cultivate
vibrancy throughout your nervous system. The class intelligently presents a vast
array of abdominopelvic exercises reconnecting you to your belly in a thoroughly
conscious way.
Core Integration significantly enhances your Yoga practice,
noticeably sharpening the quality of your inversions and backbends.
It is a safe and transformative class for those dealing with specific core
injuries and is a challenge for all levels- from newcomers to teachers.
You will leave class rooted in the radiant support of your integrated core.

Breathe In Bliss Out
A Workshop in Conscious Relaxation and Yoga Nidra
Proper breathing provides
a fast track towards unwinding stress. Muscular tension, postural imbalances,
and day-to-day anxiety all impede breath flow. Learn how to breathe correctly with
sedating exercises from yoga, physical therapy, meditation, and massage.
Come learn the age defying secrets of Yoga Nidra, or "yogic sleep", and master
the art of Blissing Out.
No Yoga experience necessary. Students of any level are welcome.
Hip Helpers for Classic Poses
As your yoga practice evolves, you may find that some of your poses progress and
feel expansive, while others are stubborn and stuck. Your hips are a major component
of nearly every category of asana, from standing, to sitting, to inversions.
The hips can be a confusing maze of muscles and bones. Many students will punish
their hips, stretching and overstretching to try to change a pose, resulting in
more frustration and pain. In reality, the hips are very simple joints that are
wildly misunderstood. Hip Helpers will vastly improve your embodiment of your hip
anatomy. Learn how to skillfully connect to your hips, legs, and core as they
relate to the most classic poses in all of hatha yoga. This class explores many
of the major seated and standing poses, and introduces multiple preparations
and variations to help anyone at any level improve their postures.
