Befriending Your Backbend
Come spend an afternoon playfully exploring the magic of backbends to unveil the true nature of your heart, which is bliss. Energetically, backbends are poses that can be filled with delight and excitement. Physically, backbends benefit the entire body, specifically strengthening the spine and opening the heart. But often when we are first learning them, even the most basic backbends feel impossibly frustrating and painful. In this workshop with Naomi Gottlieb-Miller, we’ll start small, beginning with baby backbends to learn the fundamentals and mechanics of safe, pain-free backbending. As we dive into the deeper backbends working towards Wheel Pose, we’ll troubleshoot with good alignment cues, “building blocks” poses and modifications, to discover how to move forward with grace into a joyful celebration of the heart!

Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga can be a powerful antidote to the stress of modern life. In a candle-lit room filled with soft music, you will be guided into passive yoga poses supported by blankets and other yoga props. Relaxing into this deep support, your body and mind will feel rested and restored--shifting from a doing, on-the-go mode to just being. The practice will remind you what it feels like to be calm and at ease, and it will give you tools to return to this state. Open to all levels, no yoga experience required. With Jill Minneman.

Ayurvedic Cooking with Multi-Grains
Ever since humankind settled down and began to reap the rewards of sowing seeds into Mother Earth, grains have been the backbone of every culture and have knit humankind together as one. Grains are also a key component of cooking and nutrition in Ayurveda, a 5000-year-old science of healing and wellness. In this workshop, we will learn to cook with grains like millet, brown basmati rice, quinoa, barley, oats and amaranth, and make ghee, condiments, and dal. We will also talk about basic Ayurvedic cooking principles and what grains and methods of preparation may be best suited to your constitution. Born in Kerala, the hub of Ayurveda in India, Liz Chabra will share her personal interest and voyage into Ayurvedic cooking to bring you some fun and healing recipes that range from spicy to sweet. This workshop will take place in a nearby kitchen. Supplies are included in the cost of the workshop.

Explorations in the Balance of Opposites with Anusara Yoga
One of the meanings of "yoga" is to yoke or unite our polarities so they do not fight and contradict each other. Our practice shows us how these polarities are, instead, complementary opposites that serve to make us more whole and balanced in our lives. In this workshop with Suzie Hurley, we will look at polarities in a variety of poses, including inversions and backbends, and use them to align the physical, emotional, and mental body in a precise and life affirming way. Anusara Yoga helps us to see the joy in both our unity and diversity. The workshop will include an explanation of the Anusara Universal Principles of Alignment and the Tantric philosophy on which it's based.
