The shoulders are the most mobile joint in the human body, but when joint function is overly focused on mobility, stability is sacrificed as a result, and if weight bearing through the arms outside of yoga practice is not part of a yoga practitioner's repertoire, it's quite common to develop shoulder issues over time. Join Dr. C to learn more about your shoulder structure, strengths, and weaknesses, and learn to sustain a regular yoga practice for years to come. 

Healthy hips require strength and flexibility within the joints themselves, but it's part of a larger system that requires attentive movement and balanced posture in neighboring knee joints and lower back as well. This workshop is perfect if you are looking to alleviate hip pain and discomfort by safely and effectively use yoga as a tool. 

Experience the state of deep relaxation that awaits you from within. Relax, get comfortable, snuggle in your own home, and take an hour to tune in and be soothed by sound. 

This workshop event is cancelled. We hope to offer it again in the Spring quarter

February is Heart awareness month. Join Christine Jansen, cardiology nurse practitioner and certified yoga teacher, in exploring the anatomy and physiology of the heart alongside the research that has debunked the myth that the heart is merely a pump. This workshop is an invitation to "see" through the lens of the heart. Using a combination of lecture, asana practice and guided meditation, we will bring our perception to our hearts allowing our entire body to operate in harmony and balance with the heart leading the way. All levels of experience are welcome.

Do you find yourself hunched over your phone, computer or desk? Do you feel tight and sore, or experience limited mobility, headaches or TMJ syndrome?

If you have chronic neck and/or shoulder pain, this workshop will show you how to re-align your neck and shoulders, improve neck and shoulder function, and increase natural and safe range of motion.

On the heels of the holiday season, we sometimes need a break from the holiday and all of the corresponding things - travel, family, too much to do....  And at the beginning of the calendar year, it's always good to sit in stillness to feel into what commitments we want to make to our lives and communities.  With light restorative movement, gongs and sound bowls, this workshop will give space to relax, clear the mind and start the New Year with peace, presence and purpose. All levels of experience will benefit from these practices and all are welcome.
