Yoga teaches us that we are all interconnected. If we want to strengthen our connection with others, we must first feel connected to and within our own selves. Meditation and art-making are two ways we can strengthen these connections.

This combination is a good option for when you feel fatigued or hormonally imbalanced, or if you are trying to build muscle mass. We’ll discuss how to cook and eat to energize our cells, protect our bodies from free radicals, and strengthen the immune system.

Assists can help ground align, support, make connections, create space, improve strength and flexibility, and alleviate fear. They involve the creative use of self to promote safety, stability, and depth within postures. In this workshop, we will be exploring how to refine the way we apply assists in our teaching style. It is geared towards teachers and teachers-in-training interested in becoming more skillful in this art. Open to all teachers and teachers-in-training. This 20-hour module can be applied to The Shala’s 300-Hour Advanced Teacher Training or as a stand alone continuing education course.

In this workshop we will focus on:

• Fine-tuning physical and verbal assists that help students understand where you want them to go and which actions they can take to create stability and ease.
• Learning how to look at a range of bodies and apply common sense principles, anatomical knowledge, and creativity to providing individualized assists.
• Experimenting with different ways (visual, aural, kinesthetic) of working with students so learners of all kinds benefit from the teacher’s feedback.
• Working with the breath as a tool to help students safely move into, remain in, and move out of postures.

Location: The Shala Union Square
March 30-31, Saturday & Sunday: 12:30 to 6:30

Cost for weekend:

Have you been curious about yoga but felt that perhaps you weren’t the “yoga” type. Have you wondered if yoga really is meant for someone with your curves or complexion? Would it be encouraging to see more representation of women of color in the yoga classes you already take?  Calling ALL Women Of Color (and those who identify as women) to join me for this Yoga for WOC workshop!  This workshop has been specifically designed with YOU in mind.  Learn to practice the FUNdementals of yoga in a safe space among women who intimately share your experience of what it means to be a WOC in this country.  Move gently, mindfully and practice a bit of self care. We will build strength, flexibility and most of all restore and heal the body together. ALL shapes welcome.  No yoga experience necessary, just come As You Are.
