Offerings

In addition to Private Yoga sessions, listed below are Workshops I am proud to offer. Please see the Calendar Page for current dates or email me to schedule a workshop in your town.

AcroYoga Fundamentals –

Open your practice with the ease, comfort and the support of a partner. This workshop touches upon all the disciplines that AcroYoga offers, combining Yoga, Acrobatics, and Thai Massage. The class experience includes: Circle Ceremony, Mirrored Asana, Partner Yoga Flow, Assisted Inversions, Partner Acrobatics, Flying Sequences and Thai Massage. Grounded in the breath, we will draw upon the natural forces of gravity and "metta" - loving kindness - to encourage the body to let go of fear and tension. Students are requested to have familiarity with yoga. Bring a partner or make a new friend.
2.5 - 3.5 hours.

Inversions Demystified -

Inversions turn our world upside down and offer new perspectives. This workshop will connect us to our childlike nature, approaching inversions with curiosity and playfulness and removing apprehension. Headstand, forearmstand and handstand will be made more accessible with modifications and partner assists. After solidifying spotting techniques, we will take these inversions to new heights with partner balancing pyramids to amaze and inspire! Please have an intermediate yoga practice, familiarity with headstand at the wall and comfortability kicking up into handstand at the wall. Bring a partner or make a new friend. 2.5 - 3 hours.

Unique Hands-On Adjustments
(for Yoga Teachers and Teachers in Training) -

Assisting another's yoga practice is an honor & a joy. This workshop teaches effective, creative, therapeutic & playful adjustments using the delicious techniques of partner yoga, along with mindfulness and safety. Spotting inversions will be included. Bring a partner or make a new friend. 3 - 4 hours.
16 hours (2 weekends, 4 hours each session)

Shiva~Shakti: The Yoga of Connection in Partnership –

When we look into the eyes of our great friend, we know the truth of oneness. We also provide a mirror as embodiments of masculine and feminine divine energy. This workshop teaches many practices rooted in yoga which facilitate connection between great friends as well as intimate partners. Here, we will cultivate Presence, Honor and Honesty, the keys to relating as a yoga practice. Group discussion, writing exercises and transmission of many 'micro-practices' will also be offered in this warm, transformative exploration of the juice of life. Please bring a partner with whom greater intimacy is desired.
3.5 - 4 hours.

Yoga Workshops

Skillful Adjustments for Yoga Teachers & Teachers in Training -

I will discuss the ethics of touch, how to be of service to students & how to safely adjust and modify. This is a hands-on, interactive workshop which can be taught independently or supplement an existing teacher training curriculum. 4 hours minimum. To include anatomy breakdowns for each pose, allow a minimum addition of 4 hours.

Massage Workshops

Thai Massage Basics -

With roots in Yoga and Ayurveda, Thai Massage is a practice which flowers with metta (loving-kindness). For those wishing to explore Thai massage from the beginning, this course will cover front, back and side-lying positions. A particular focus on body mechanics, ethics of touch, maintaining clear boundaries, and injury prevention will be helpful to beginning students of Thai Massage. 16 hours (2 weekends, 4 hours each session) minimum.

Inverted Flying Massage: A Fresh Approach for Bodyworkers -

These workshops focus on Flying, the nectar of the AcroYoga practice, with special emphasis on Therapeutic & Intuitive Flying for massage practitioners. Learn how to use your body most efficiently to deliver a unique massage experience. Akin to Watsu in the air, Inverted Flying Massage presents the receiver with opportunities to trust & release while receiving all the benefits of passive inversions (increased blood flow to the brain, reverse vascular pressure, reverse gravitational pull on the spine) as well as effective stretching. 3 - 4 hours.
