WORKSHOPS
Come learn about natures elements and create patterning of muscles in your body to fire together in a way that is supportive on and off the matt.
Each week we will be focusing on a specific elemental body awareness with physical throughlines, starting with Earth, and moving through fire, water, air and space.
Noticing how you can utilize these elements in your practice with different breathing, oils, poses and muscle activations, to create balance in your practice and being.
What is the difference between a Yoga Workshop and a Yoga class?
A yoga workshop is traditionally longer than a yoga class usually about 2 hours and gives us aditional time to dive deep into ideas or break down postures and play around with them. The class may not be as fluid as usually but the intention is to experience some break throughs that will change the way we practice in our normal classes
Explanation of the workshops...

Yoga & The Elements
Ayurveda says we have 5 main elements present within us and around us at all times. Earth, Fire, Air, Water & Ether. This workshop shows us how these elements show up in our yoga practcie through movements, breathwork, sound, emotions, mantra, and oils.
