Re-Patterning

In this training, we will redefine the basics of yoga and identify habits and imbalances that may not be serving you. We will combine modern movements with classical yoga asana to find the continuum of anatomical truth in your own body.

  • Re-patterning utilizes bodywork techniques to unlock held tension, support the body's natural alignment, and train new movement habits. Over time, this allows for increased ease and flow in asana practice.

  • Anyone who struggles with injury patterns, asymmetry, limited mobility or pain can benefit from re-patterning. Both advanced students and beginners seeking structural balance should find value and improvement to range of motion and alignment.

Inhale, Exhale, Repeat

Breathing is a fundamental aspect of yoga. Understanding the mechanics of the diaphragm is essential for teaching effective breathing techniques. Inhale, Exhale, Repeat is a comprehensive look at all things breath.

  • By bringing awareness to the subtle breath we can reduce stress, cultivate presence, increase oxygen flow through the body, gain self-regulation skills, and access restorative states to promote healing. Many also find breathwork to be an exceptionally powerful tool for mindfulness.

  • Yes, we will practice breathwork and Pranayama practice will make up the bulk of our meeting. Expect gentle hands-on assists to safely explore retention capacities.
