Build an Inversions Practice!
An experiential workshop that prioritizes safety, preparations, progressions, and a primer on the essential anatomy. This workshop will primarily focus on headstand and forearmstand — less time will be devoted to handstand as the lessons to do it properly come from the previous two.
Groundwork & Floating
Floating is bearing weight on the hands and lifting into lolasana (crow pose variations), as a transition between poses, an essential part of Vinyasa Yoga. This workshop is all about making your practice work for you, experimenting with new techniques in simple and more complex poses, and using your breath to tap into core strength.

Breath Control: Anatomy & Practice
January 13th with Michael Dynie
The breath is a way of synchronizing mind and body to bring about relaxing meditative states. Exploring this connection in greater depth can also give us energy and strength to move through our mat practice (and everyday life) with grace and ease.
In this experiential workshop, you'll be guided through:
Vinyasa (movement) practice that emphasizes utilizing the bandhas and breath retention for specific mechanical advantages.
Seated breathing exercises (pranayama) to enhance awareness, focus the mind, and activate the parasympathetic nervous system
Detailed overview of the anatomy of the core and the mechanics of breathing.
Three types of Mulah Bandha, various forms of Uddiyana Bandha and Jalandhara Bandha
Why some instructions can be confusing or even problematic.
