YOGA SUTRAS, PRANAYAMA + MEDITATION
with Wendelin Scott
In-Studio + Livestream
Saturday, June 14 | 2:00-4:00pm
A well-rounded Yoga practice is often likened to the beautiful image of a tree — with roots, a trunk, branches, and leaves, each representing a different aspect of the fullness and abundance that Yoga offers. In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali describes in lucid detail the eight limbs that comprise a vibrant Yoga pracitce. Interestingly, in our modern culture, asana — the physical postures — tends to receive the most (and often only) attention. This workshop invites you to explore beyond the asana mat into the richness of the other seven limbs.
In this workshop, we’ll explore simple yet profound practices from the broader yoga tradition, including pranayama (breathwork), meditation, and insights from the Yoga Sutras. These tools can bring greater peace, clarity, and inspiration to your daily life — and reinvigorate your asana practice with fresh, vital energy.
No prior experience is needed — just a genuine interest in meditation and breathwork.

THERAPEUTIC BREATHWORK WORKSHOP
with Lauren Morlock
In Studio Only
Sunday, June 22 | 5:30 - 7:00pm
Therapeutic Breathwork, or Conscious Connected Breathing is a practice developed to bring about deep change. By facilitating movement through the different kinds of repression that limit our ability to fully experience life; breathwork works to identify and integrate both the physical and psychic parts of ourselves. Modern trauma research confirms that repression lives in the body, on a deep level, sometimes hard to find; even in the most dedicated efforts to diagnose and treat.
This style of Breathwork is akin to holotropic breathing; holotropic meaning “moving towards wholeness”. It is an active meditation, with the breath, that brings us into an expanded state of consciousness. In a cyclic, slightly-faster-than-normal-paced breathing pattern, we breathe to a set of curated musical accompaniment that supports and augments the experience.Therapeutic Breathwork is an effective and powerful tool for exploring ourselves; traversing the emotional, physical, and energetic bodies. This conscious practice allows what may be buried in the psyche, or embedded within the structure of the body, to arise and be processed in a safe and supportive container. It allows us to be in our bodies; held in a space of radical presence and Self-nurturing.
Oftentimes we are left feeling lighter, spacious, grounded and aligned after the session. Breathwork is a powerful and accessible tool for those of us who struggle with anxiety, stress, depression, substance use, pain, grief, trauma, insomnia, and more. It is also a great tool for encountering the Self, ever-more intimately, while building self-love, agency, and empowerment. I’ve experienced Breathwork transform many lives, as it has my own.
BANDHAS (LOCKS): KEYS FOR INTEGRATED PRACTICE OF ASANAS + PRANAYAMA
with Olga Boggio
In Studio Only
Two Day Workshop: Saturday, July 5 + Sunday, July 13 | 2:00 - 4:00pm
Bandhas in the words of B.K.S. Iyengar are “safety valves for distributing, regulating and absorbing energy and preventing its dissipation”. They are subtle powerful actions in the area of the pelvic floor (mula bhanda), low abdominals (udiyana bandha), head, neck and shoulders (Jalandhara bandha). Without breath there can be no cultivation of bandhas. The control and use of energy in our body is a direct relationship to the breath. Bandhas are mostly used in the practice of pranayama to support the meditative stillness and concentration. The same principles can apply to the asana practice by aligning the gravity centers of the body and promoting stability and health is the pelvis, sacrum and spine. The focus of this two part workshop is to develop the use of mula bhanda and udiyana bandha towards a balanced organic practice of asanas and pranayama. All levels are welcomed.

with Edie Tsong
In Studio Only
Three Sundays: July 20, 27 + August 3 | 2:00 - 3:30pm
Full Series $90 (+ tax) | Drop In $35 (+ tax)
The back body is like a protective shell. It’s also a continuous sheath running from the crown of the head, down the back of the neck, upper, middle, lower back, hamstring, calves, to the soles of your feet. If you tend to get shin splints, lower back pain, upper back pain, or neck pain, you can work on the entire back body to start to create continuity. This class is for all levels and builds up to dynamic poses at a gentle pace. Students should be in good health, with no acute pain. This series is a form a maintenance.
Feet and calves…Legs: calves, hamstrings, glutes…low back & thoracic spine…shoulders & cervical spine
