Open Your Mind & Heart
A Day of Yoga Practice
In this day-long workshop we will integrate yoga postures, breathing techniques, meditation and
study, blending detailed physical alignment with practices to help you calm the mind.
You will learn to settle your mind, find space in your breathing, and establish a restorative
meditation practice.
It is primarily the physical aspects of the yoga tradition that people see and entertain when
approaching a yoga practice. Much more important than the outer reflection of the yoga practice
is the way we feel the postures in our breath, our energy body and our mental state.
According to Pantanjali's Yoga Sutra, yoga asana has two important qualities: sthira and sukha.
Sthira is steadiness, alertness and an unwavering presence of mind.
Sukha, which translates as sweetness, refers to the ability to remain at ease and comfortable in
the postures.
Both qualities need to be equally present or there is no practice of yoga asana. Moving with your
breath, being in the reality of the moment by not pushing or pulling away from what is, will
assist in maintaining these qualities throughout your yoga practice.

Add new heights to your movement practice with Aerial Yoga!
Aerial Yoga utilizes an aerial hammock as a prop to help access yoga postures on and off the mat. During each Aerial Yoga class, we will mindfully explore poses with the support of an aerial hammock to encourage strength, flexibility, stamina and importantly -> relaxation.
Settling into breath and meditation practices while hovering over the floor allows for a new experience of the breath itself, and of the body's awareness of space. With your feet off the ground, a new air of possibility unfolds, and the aerial hammock can even help make certain moves, like inversions, more accessible.

Yin-Yasa Yoga is designed to move the body to burn off excess energy (vin-Yasa), and then slow movements down with grounding postures (Yin) to prepare you for your evening. Beginning with Pranayama (breath) practice, then moving into sun salutations and standing postures to generate heat in the body. The second half of class will be an exploration of restorative floor postures to welcome you into relaxation. During our Yin-Yasa practice we will aim to increase circulation in the joints and flexibility in the muscle and connective tissue. We will close with a longer Savasana, followed by a guided Yoga Nidra (meditation/yogic sleep) to encourage a state of deep relaxation and conscious awareness
