Gain access to the deep muscles within the pelvis and learn to relax and release your hips. Be ready for a deep journey into the inner body complete with a detailed muscular and skeletal technique and the subtle body of emotions and energy. Learn how to create the safe space of patience, kindness and tolerance in the deepest regions of the pelvis and watch your hips open.

SATURDAY, AUG. 22nd Strength: Yes, You Can!
If you think you’ll never be able to lift up, or if you want to take your lifting up to a new level, this class is for you. This class integrates the elusive “bandha” and core work in a way that is accessible for everyone. By using natural and scientific principles, like gravity, weight distribution, and mind-body connection, you will gain a new understanding of the potential for natural strength in your body. You will leave this workshop with tools you can apply to reach a new level of strength, presence and awareness.
All levels welcome!
SUNDAY, AUG. 23rd Fly like a Bird: All About Bakasana
Take the time to master the core strength, stable shoulder girdle and steady mind needed to master Bakasana position. Translated into English as the Crane Posture, Bakasana unlocks the key principles of strength for all other arm balances. Start off with the easiest version of Bakasana and challenge yourself by trying some of the hardest versions of Bakasana like Eka Pada Bakasana A. Jump back and jump into Bakasana and learn how to transition in and out of handstand from the posture. Don’t let Bakasana trick you into thinking it’s too easy–come and learn how to be strong enough to truly fly like a bird.
All levels welcome!
MONDAY, AUG. 24th Intro to Second Series
Ashtanga Yoga’s Second Series, called Nadi Shodhana, works to cleanse the nervous system through a series of rigorous strength, backbending, twisting and hip opening postures. This class makes the challenging postures of the Intermediate series accessible and approachable to all interested practitioners. The inspired beginner will find easy, fun and approachable techniques to some of Ashtanga yoga’s most challenging postures, while the avid practitioner and seasoned veteran will find new techniques to inspire their practice to new levels of precision.
Prior experience with Ashtanga yoga recommended.
TUESDAY, AUG. 25th The Methodology of Teaching and the Magic of Hands-on Adjustments for Teachers and Students
Discover the paradigm of teaching Ashtanga Yoga through a careful analysis of lineage, tradition and effective communication. While verbal cueing and visual demonstration are wonderful, the physical body responds and learns through touch. Develop your kinesthetic intelligence to unlock the magic of hands-on assists and speak the honest language of the body. Maximize your effectiveness as a teacher and learn how to receive as a student.
