  • 45 minute sessions

This four-week meditation series is a great way to touch in on what mindfulness really means, and practice meditation in a group setting. The Tibetan word for meditation is gom, or "to become familiar with." What we are becoming familiar with is ourselves, our thought process, our hearts. The benefits of practicing mindfulness meditation include stability, strength, clarity, and less reactivity in daily life. This series is an introduction to the practice. No experience necessary, all are welcome. 

  • Week 1: Introduction to Mindfulness

  • Week 2: Gentleness

  • Week 3: Precision

  • Week 4: Letting Go

What is Bhakti Yoga?

Discussion and Chanting with Nina Rao

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19 | 6-8PM

Investment:

  • Members: Early Bird $40 | Regular $50

  • Non-Members: Early Bird $45 | Regular $55

Each of us arrives into this community of seekers in our own individual way. We are on a Path into our own hearts and along the way we want to develop a practice that resonates so that we can stay with it and receive the benefits.

As we go deeper, it is helpful to turn toward the roots of our practices and understand more about the 'yoga of devotion'. Nina is a seeker and chanter and she will share about ‘Bhakti’, a word often heard in yoga circles, and how it defines our practice. We will also sing and chant together. NinaRaoChant.com


Anatomy mapping: overview of the nervous system and the organs in the body

With Masha Schmidt

SUNDAY, MARCH 30 | 12-3PM

Investment:

  • Members: Early Bird $50 | Regular $60

  • Non-Members: Early Bird $55 | Regular $65

As yoga instructors and dedicated students, we often focus our anatomy studies on the muscular system. Here is an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how our internal organs influence our practice, and how the nervous system impacts every moment on and off the mat.

In this workshop, we will cover:

  • Structures & Functions of the Central Nervous System + Peripheral Nervous System

  • Signs of nervous system regulation and dysregulation

  • Effects of asana, pranayama, chanting and meditation on the brain, spinal column, organs, and fascia

Masha will encourage discussion and curiosity about some common language we use as yoga practitioners and teachers. Together we will explore alternate language and cues that may be more accurate and meaningful. We will end the workshop with some practices to upregulate and downregulate the nervous system, and directly experience the benefit of moving more easefully between the two.

Trauma Informed Teaching: How to create more inclusive and safer spaces

With Masha Schmidt

SUNDAY, JUNE 23 | 12-3PM

Investment:

  • Members: Early Bird $45 | Regular $50

  • Non-Members: Early Bird $40 | Regular $55

‘Trauma informed yoga’ is a popular phrase, but what exactly does it mean for us as teachers and students? What types of training and support can we put in place for ourselves to become more informed? As individuals, how can we mitigate systemic cultures of harm?

In this workshop, Masha will offer her experience as a teacher and practitioner to define ‘trauma informed care’, and the ethics of that phrase. Our time together will include:

  • Creating a ‘brave space’ vs a ‘safe space’

  • Boundaries, Consent, and Scope of Practice in Yoga 

  • How to cultivate more inclusive spaces and how to repair unintentional harm

This workshop is for anyone that truly wants to create the safest spaces for the most people. Please come with the willingness to explore cultures of harm and the intention to find strength in vulnerability. We will create a brave space together.
