Workshops
CROW FAMILY ARM BALANCES
Saturday, April 4th from 1:15-3:00 pm
Come to learn or refine your crow pose and some variations. This family of postures is a great place to begin with arm balances. We’ll refine crow pose, side crow, one legged crow, and firefly.
We’ll start with an active practice to warm the body up and to feel the actions of these arm balances in other postures. Then we’ll break down each of these postures with and without props. There will be enough time for one-on-one feedback on each arm balance.
All levels are welcome!
By-Donation Cosmic Flow for Common Good City Farm
Saturday, April 18th from 7:00-8:15 pm
This by-donation Cosmic Flow Yoga gathering will take place in the dark with galaxy lights projected onto the ceiling and walls. This creates an atmosphere where we can turn our attention inward, away from how the postures look, and reflect on our interconnectedness with ourselves, our community, and the universe.
Because this class will take place in the dark, some yoga experience will be helpful.
Registration for this class is required and free, but participants will be invited to donate directly to Common Good City Farm before/after class.
100% of all donations will be directly sent to our neighbors, Common Good City Farm. Common Good’s mission is to sustain and support a more equitable community through growing, learning, cooking, and sharing fresh food together. Since 2007, Common Good has provided over 10 tons of fresh produce to the community, engaged over 2,700 adults and 4,500 young people in educational programs, and hosted over 3,000 volunteers.
UNDERSTANDING BACKBENDS
Want to dive deeper into backbends in your practice? Learn how to approach backbends while working towards wheel pose. Though we’ll focus on wheel, this workshop will also be about how to approach and find comfort and support in all backbends.
We’ll learn about the foundational principles behind wheel, explore preparatory poses to warm up the body for backbends, and play with many modifications for wheel.
BEGINNER YOGA SERIES
Have you wanted to start practicing yoga but aren't sure where to start? Or have you already started practicing but want to feel more confident in class? Then this series is for you.
The three hour and a half class will teach simple breathing techniques, a beginner flow, workshopping postures to get a feel for alignment, and include time for Q&A.
In each class, you'll learn not only yoga postures but we will have time to focus on your unique alignment with emphasis on the use of props and modifications. The goal of this series is for you to feel confident walking into most yoga classes as well as improve your flexibility, balance, and stamina.
ADDING BINDS TO YOUR PRACTICE
Want to dive deeper on binds in your yoga practice? Join me to learn or refine how and when to add binds to your practice.
Often binding in poses is easier than it looks but it can be challenging to know where all the body parts go. We’ll learn about the anatomy of these binds and break down the movements of the body in each binded pose. We’ll work on bound variations of extended side angle, crescent lunge twist, cow face and seated twists and play with modifications for them all.
