Workshops & Retreats
Please join me for a workshop where we can really focus on a special topic, or get away from it all with a retreat. A retreat can be a time to get introspective, sometimes helping us make life transitions, or it can be more like a yoga vacation; that part is up to you. From my end, I promise to choose consciously run retreat facilities in remarkable geographical locations, to help build a friendly retreat group, and to offer yoga that is safe, yet challenging, that facilitates the personal work in which you are engaged.
From time to time, I may also share curated information about retreats led by other Iyengar yoga teachers.

Upside Down!
Iyengar Yoga Inversion Workshop
The Yoga Center, 449 Forest Ave, 2nd FL
Portland, ME 04101

Sun., /4/5, 3:00-5:30
Sthira sukham asanam. Learn to create the firm base that brings steadiness and ease to your inversions.
The benefits of inversions are myriad: they balance the nervous system, stimulate the adrenal system, bathe the organic body with a fresh and cleansed blood supply, rest tired or injured legs and feet, and counteract depression. However, without the proper techniques, injuries could occur. Learn the skills you need to practice Salamba Sarvangasana (Shoulder Balance) and Sirsasana (Head Balance) with ease that will help you step up the level of your practice and your classes.
This workshop is appropriate for students who have been practicing Iyengar Yoga for at least 6 months or another system of yoga for a year or more. It is not appropriate for those with shoulder or neck injuries or untreated low blood pressure. Please plan to eat about 3 hours before the workshop so your stomach is empty. Wear comfortable, stretchy, non-baggy clothing.
$25 if pre-registered by 3/31, $35 thereafter.
