You don’t have to know how to do yoga before you walk into a yoga class. You’re allowed to learn as you go—and this series was created to help you do exactly that.
Begin Here is a three-part workshop series designed for anyone who wants to feel more confident, informed and empowered in their practice. It’s perfect if you’re brand new to yoga, returning after time away or already practicing but still wondering what certain cues mean and how to make the poses work for your body.
Each two-hour workshop is interactive and experiential, giving you time to ask questions, explore different options and understand not only what you’re doing, but why. The workshops build naturally upon one another, but each can also be taken separately.
BUILD YOUR PRACTICE
Jan 16th 2-4p | Alignment, Anatomy + the Foundations of Asana
Every yoga pose begins with a strong foundation. In this workshop, we’ll explore the Tadasana Anatomy Ladder and discover how the actions of Mountain Pose appear throughout an entire yoga practice.
We’ll break down familiar postures, explore how alignment changes as your body changes orientation and look beyond the outer shape of a pose to understand the actions happening within it. You’ll learn how to create a stable foundation through your hands and feet, build strength and support, and move through common poses and transitions with greater awareness.
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how poses are built—and more confidence moving through a group class.
BRING YOUR PRACTICE TO LIFE
Jan 30th 2-4p | Gaze, Breath, Core, Heat + Flow
Yoga is more than making shapes. In this workshop, we’ll explore five essential elements that bring focus, energy and connection to your practice: gaze, breath, core, heat and flow.
You’ll learn how to steady your attention through gaze, create rhythm with ujjayi breath, connect to the support of your core, explore purposeful effort and link breath with movement. We’ll experience each element individually before bringing them together in a simple, intentional flow.
You’ll leave understanding more of the language you hear in class—and how these tools can transform the way your practice feels from the inside out.
MAKE THE PRACTICE YOURS
FEB 13th 2-4p | Modifications, Exploration + Choice
Your body, energy and needs are not the same every day—and your yoga practice doesn’t need to be either.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to notice what is present and make intentional choices from there. We’ll explore ways to add support, adjust intensity, build strength, accommodate an injury or invite more play into your practice. You’ll experiment with props, variations and different approaches to familiar poses, transitions and Sun Salutations.
There is no single “best” version of a pose. You’ll leave with more options, greater trust in yourself and the confidence to create a practice that truly belongs to you.
WHY TAKE THE FULL SERIES?
