Spring is a wondrous, dynamic time when nature is moving out of its cold, dark and dormant cycle into one that is vibrant, light and creative. Take a queue from nature and join Lara this Saturday to shake of what remains of Winter sloth, and hit your re-set button on your body and spirit. Awaken your deep-seated joy as we swing rhythmically from the ropes; and tap into the rising energy of Spring with the spiraling action of twists.

n yoga asana practice we awaken awareness from our outer anatomical structure (arms. legs, shoulders and hips) to the inner structural body (skull, spine and ribcage.)
In standing poses it is essential the legs align with the hip sockets and arms with the shoulder joint. When these actions are done well we feel great physical benefit from the standing poses. It becomes clear the power of our limbs is essential because standing poses require a lot of energy. The codependency between the lower trunk and the upper trunk becomes evident in a standing pose.
In the Iyengar method we access a lot of communication between outer body and inner power in the standing poses. Working with breath awareness in standing poses we become familiar with exhalative breath in the pelvic area sustained by the legs and inhalative breath in the chest sustained by the arms. It is said that good health and stable mind come from clarifying these two “winds”. Even more fascinating and beneficial is when the exhalation in the pelvic area becomes the root for the inhalation and the inhalation in the chest becomes a rain cloud source for the exhalation. This can definitely be learned in asanas! The Sanskrit terminology for these two energies or winds is Apana Vayu located in the pelvis and Prana Vayu located in the chest.
After exploring the standing poses, we will do sitting poses, inversions and /or supine poses to balance and end our practice.
This workshop is for all yoga students who want to explore breath awareness within the action and alignment of standing poses.
Familiarity with the standing poses is required.

In Chinese theory, Spring raises the energy of the liver, our reservoir of creativity and renewal. This initiates our vision, expression, and the will to bloom from the depths of Winter’s wisdom. The element of Spring is wood, which can be flexible yet resilient, and it is up to us to cultivate an ecosystem of practices that support our growth.
We use Katonah Yoga Restorative shapes in combination with overtone-rich sounds to support the breath with postures that use formal setups, hands-on adjustments, and props as boundaries to scaffold physical and emotional structure. The instruments join with this dynamic environment, guiding attention deeper into the form. When the mind and body connect in this way, breath and energy move effortlessly, evoking ease and safety, and inviting new layers of psycho-somatic release.
Each participant will receive a uniquely personal experience guided by three facilitators. Chemistry and neurology transform in each posture supported by blocks, blankets, and straps; accompanied by chimes, tuning forks, singing bowls, and gongs. Emerge from the class feeling elevated, energized, and empowered towards your internal guidance.

Whether the hips are tight and blocked or loose and unstable, without the proper tone and structure to the hip socket, our experience in a variety of asanas can become limited or confused. Just think about the load placed on the hips in poses such as Ardha Chandrasana and Virabhadrasana III. In this workshop we explore how to connect our legs into the hip socket to strengthen and stabalize that area in a relaxed and progressive manner. We will break down the more advanced asanas to reveal hidden or weak parts that are not participating, allowing you to explore the range and subtle changes within the hips that eventually bring you effortlessly into more advanced poses.

Join Cari, Yiming & Adrian for an enriching seasonal experience, as we utilize diverse tools and techniques to support dropping into deep states of embodiment.
In Chinese theory, Winter descends us into the depths of the kidneys, our reservoir energy of substantiation, reflection, and quietude, as well as our inner listening, intuition, and wisdom. The element of Winter is water, which can get frozen with fear, and it is up to us to transform its character and keep it fluid.

Join Shenaaz for a slower monthly workshop, a more meditative practice of yoga that target the deeper, connective tissue that binds our bodies, using long holds to access and release the subtle layers within, while allowing for nervous systems to ground and quiet, creating space for deeper healing and release- physically, mentally and emotionally.
Each Healing Yin Yoga Workshop will have a specific theme or focus each month- shoulders, spring, grief/sadness, meridians, etc.…for us to bring our energy to.
“There are three tenets of Yin Yoga: find your edge where you can feel the stretch but without straining; remain still; and allow yourself to stay here for a period of time. It’s a simple practice with profound therapeutic benefits for longevity, vitality, flexibility, and more.”
Give yourself the gift of time, quiet and hands on support in these intimate monthly workshops.
