primary series yoga workshops

Take this time to break down elements of the primary series which consists of a series of poses that begins with sun salutations and moves on to standing postures, seated postures, and final relaxation. Each of the power yoga primer workshops looks at these postures in greater detail. Leave with the tools to use these basic building blocks developing a sequence that will heal and strengthen the body, remove toxins, and prepare the body for more advanced poses. Suitable for those new to Ashtanga, but even experienced practitioners can benefit.

hip opener (yoga workshop)

This workshop focuses on opening the hips significantly. Many of us sit or stand for the greater part of the day and this results in tense and tight hips. We tend to hold a lot of mental and emotional stress in our hips which adds to this stiffness. This workshop will work on warming the muscles and joints with its practice as well as holding the poses to allow a true stretch to release that tightness.

No yoga experience is required to attend this workshop.

foam roller workshop

The foam roller can be used as a supplement to treatment or to prevent injuries by releasing adhesions in muscles and increasing blood flow. By performing self-myofascial release techniques on a simple piece of foam, you can improve flexibility, function, performance and reduce injuries. During this workshop, we will teach you how to use your own body weight to roll on the round foam roll, massaging away restrictions to normal soft-tissue extensibility.
