Ideal for anyone with tight hamstrings, sciatica, or back pain. The focus will be on isolating the backs of the legs and using yoga therapeutic techniques to bring about a greater range of motion and flexibility to the hamstrings, which can decrease any overcompensation made by the spine – often the culprit of hip strain and chronic low back pain.

During this community clinic patients will choose from one of two treatments: one to reduce stress, or one to boost energy. In community acupuncture, many people are treated simultaneously in one large room, thus making this type of medicine more accessible to more people. 

A mindful, gentle approach to movement and stillness, fostering a deep connection between mind and body.

Join Rixie to learn techniques to create a healthy balance of flexibility and strength in the feet, to help with some common issues including plantar fasciitis, bunions and hammer toes, and to learn simple and lively practices that you can take home and practice regularly. 

Amir will teach you how to create a customized routine to address your specific low back dysfunctions and related pains.  He'll review the anatomy of the lower back and sacroiliac joint, as well as common misalignments, muscles spasms, compression, and disc issues.

Join Chynna and Jarrick for a deeply relaxing sound bath session to create space for exploration of the duality between movement and stillness, and between silence and sound both internally and externally.

THIS SERIES IS FULL! PLEASE MESSAGE US IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN A FUTURE SERIES. Mindfulness, or mind-training, is the practice of being awake. By training up our ability to closely watch our mind, we become intimate with our suffering, our habitual patterns of grasping and avoiding, all the while opening a doorway to personal insight. Only when we know ourselves deeply can we relax reactive habits and live with a more open-heart. In this 4-week series, you'll learn to practice a variety of traditional mindfulness meditation methods that calm the mind and relax the body, improve focus and concentration, develop an accepting and resilient orientation towards life's challenges, and cultivate an open-hearted and friendly attitude towards yourself and others. 

Restorative yoga is a practice that is focused on slowing down and opening your body through passive, supported stretching. During the long holds of restorative yoga, muscles and connective tissues are allowed to relax and elongate deeply as props, rather than muscles, are doing the work. This workshop will be recorded and available for one month following the event.

Gentle, meditative movements, based on ancient practices from China to help bring balance and resilience to the body, breath and mind.

Learn a set of yoga exercises that can reverse an overly rounded upper back.

Slouching or hunching is far from flattering, but more importantly, recent studies are confirming that a hunched posture is associated not only with increased neck tension and impaired mobility but also with increased risk of falls, shortness of breath, heart and lung disease, as well as depression and anxiety. The good news is that a hunched posture (hyperkyphosis) is reversible. Once you learn the key yoga exercises, all you need is 2 yoga blocks and 5-10 minutes a day. 

A very special Sunday afternoon with a gentle flowing yoga practice while live cello music permeates the soundscape.

The psoas is arguably the most influential skeletal and postural muscle of the body. It links the spine, diaphragm, and legs, acting as a messenger between the inner self and the outer world. While the psoas muscle is extraordinarily sensitive and responsive, we often find it difficult to feel or locate it within the body, and often it is the culprit for chronic hip pain, back pain, and digestive issues. Amir's workshop can help you learn how to maintain proper flexibility and functionality of the psoas, and create a psoas maintenance routine. Suitable for all people - no yoga experience necessary.

If you’ve asked yourself any of these questions, this workshop is for you!

This will be a two-room experience with an additional chill-out room for participants who would like to relax, have a chat, tea, and enjoy some offerings from curated vendors.
