Reveal and Release
This weekend will be a mix of essential Asana with a soft focus through the lens of the Kleshas—the 5 obstacles that each of us creates and sustains, but can learn to break through. We’ll dive into Deep Hips, Twisting for Life, Push and Pull, and The Enduring Mountain. Throughout we’ll consider the balancing act of desire and fear, and find what inner and outer support really feels like

The Maha Bandhas: Support from Deep Within
A deep dive into the three primary Bandhas: Mula, Uddiyana, and Jalandhara. We will explore their physical foundations, breath integration, and energetic impact. This weekend will balance strong asana and pranayama practices with discussions on history, philosophy, and anatomy, to deepen our awareness and refine our application. This weekend is open to all who want to take their practice deeper. Yoga Teachers are especially encouraged to come as these practices are often misunderstood and their transmission can be tricky.

The Essential Arches: Keystones to Health and Healing
Join me on this 4-day journey through the body’s essential keystones and their accompanying diaphragms and Bandhas. A keystone is a central stone at the summit of an arch, which literally locks the whole together. In our bodies, there are several key areas that are the central principles or keys on which all else depends. Each keystone has a set of bases, which when balanced create dynamic stability from below, and ease and range of motion above. We will dive into the physical and energetic keystones of the body, developing awareness, release and support using all the elements of Yoga practice: asana and pranayama, philosophy and meditation.
“Her knowledge of the theory and practice of yoga is staggering, and after all the years I’ve known her, she still amazes me. Is she teaching anywhere near you? Be there.”
