Breathwork Workshop with Nicole Rager April 6 at 12:30-2PM

Transformational Breath® is a style of connected breathing that incorporates body mapping, hands-on acupressure-style touch, sound, affirmations, and movement to create a profound transformative experience.

The technique works on all levels – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual – and serves to bring you back to a place of freedom, peace, joy, and potential.

In working with Nicole, you will learn to use your own breath to release stored emotions, imprints from past traumas, repressions, grief, anxiety and shame. You will experience a growing freedom and expansion in your life, often after just one breath session. Repeated practice and work with a facilitator opens up your life in profound and lasting ways.

Join us Saturday, April 6 at 12:30-2PM

Relax and Recharge with Our Candlelight Yin and Nidra 
Come and relax with candlelight while you recharge your mind and body with Yin yoga deep tissue stretches.  Slow down and go deeper into the full body, opening up tight joints and increasing your mobility.  Then move from deep stretching into a full mind and body Nidra resting meditation.  Come out floating on air, rested and recharged.
Balance the Body with Yin Yoga
Do you have tight hips, wake up with a stiff back, or lower back pain?  Are you actively exercising but find you struggle to deepen your skills and postures?  You might find that your exercise is all Yang, or muscular based, and not enough Yin, which is deep tissue focused.  You’re not alone.  Most of us need to balance our Yang with more Yin.
What is Yin Yoga?
Yin yoga is the lesser known counterpart to an active Yang yoga practice.  Yang yoga includes active yoga postures that are about engaging, strengthening, and compressing muscle tissues. Think Hot 26&2 or Vinyasa Flow.  The focus is in creating balance and strength. 
Yin yoga focuses on the other half of our tissues, the deeper connective tissues.  Think white tissues like ligaments, tendons, fascia. These tissues should be hydrated and elastic for a healthy body. They should “slide and glide,” allowing us comfortable mobility. As we age, these are the tissues that become stiffer and decrease our mobility.  Yin Yoga is about focusing on deep tissue stretching and compressing for healthy joints and mobility.
Both Yin and Yang yoga bring a sense of mindful focus and lead to relaxation. Both are powered collaboratively with our breath. However, Yin yoga guides us to stretch in passive postures, allowing softening, strengthening and hydration of the deep tissues. 
The Yin and Yang practices work together in a necessary balance.  If muscles are very strong, but connective tissues are stiff, this leads to tightness and injuries at a deep tissue level. If deep tissues are open and loose but muscles are weak, this can lead to over stretching of muscles and, again, injuries can occur.
Solution? Create your Yin-Yang beautiful body balance. Keep your body working in harmony by bringing the elements that you need.

Who is Esak and What is this Event?

Esak Garcia is a world class yoga practitioner, competitor, training leader, and teacher. He is the most respected teacher in the Bikram community, period. The 26&2 Bikram posture series forms the basis of his classes, workshops and trainings. He is in demand all over the globe and we are tremendously happy to have Esak provide his expertise at our studio!

Posture Clinic

In the clinic Esak will cover the common basis of the hatha yoga postures in our Bikram practice. Additionally he answers your questions about specific posture techniques, and breaks them down into their crucial elements. 

e84 Class

This class is open to anyone with a basic foundation in the 26&2 postures — and that means you! This is NOT an advanced class. The e84 class goes just a little step beyond the traditional series, explores some movement in the warm up, and brings a little challenge to try something new!
