YOGA SERIES

Many of us learned how to do each yoga pose in a very particular way: the legs go here, the arms go there, we hold it for a few breaths and move on to the next pose.
This works great at the beginning, but after a while it stops serving us. Maybe the classical form of the pose doesn’t do it for you because your shoulders are tight, or maybe you cannot be on your knees because of a previous injury. We need options that still deliver the same benefit the pose is meant to give us. And if we teach yoga, we need to be able to give our students pose options, so that they feel comfortable, supported, and included in the yoga class no matter what challenges they are dealing with, and get the same benefits as everybody else. If we work therapeutically, with students who face a variety of limitations, we need enough versions of each pose to keep the practice safe without giving up its effectiveness. This is why we adapt the classical form of postures to make them accessible to different students.

Balance isn’t just about staying steady on one foot—it’s the foundation of every movement you make. Whether you’re navigating stairs, playing sports, going on hikes, or simply getting out of bed, maintaining steady balance helps you stay safe and active.
Our ability to balance can and should be trained, both in static positions and in motion. Balancing is a complex process involving many bodily systems; that is why, in this yoga series, we approach it from several different angles.

This series consists of fourteen chapters. Each chapter introduces a specific strategy you can use to train your balance.

Sleep, as Shakespeare so poetically declared, is “the chief nourisher in life’s feast”—a restorative act that feeds not only the body, but the mind and soul. Sleep is not a luxury but a foundation of physical health, emotional well-being, cognitive function, and a positive outlook on life.
A constant stream of distressing headlines, endless screen time, and the unrelenting pace of modern life leave our minds overstimulated and our bodies tense. As worry and fatigue accumulate, deep rest becomes harder to reach.
That’s why we invite you to check out our new webinar series, Reclaim Your Calm: Yoga for Better Sleep.

In this series, we will tap into the power of ancient techniques, neuroscience, and modern psychology to access our powerful inner resources.

Throughout the series, we will begin to understand different aspects of ourselves, face our mental hang-ups, develop our inner strength, and connect to our own healing potential. When the world around us seems chaotic and unpredictable, yogic mental training techniques help us stay grounded, centered, open-minded, and connected to our natural inner peace.

This yoga series is expansive in its scope and blends together the biomechanical understanding of the physical structure of the body with traditional yogic ideas about the essence of health and vitality. This yoga series is centered around your spine and is meant to increase its mobility and stability. We also view the spine as a primary conduit for energy flow within the body.

Throughout the series, you will increase your physical strength and movement capacity and try progressively more challenging poses that are meant to strengthen, stretch, and stabilize every part of your body. You will also work on building your vitality and resilience from within by ensuring smooth energy flow in every major direction so that every cell in your body gets nourishment to do its job without hindrance.
