Movement Science Meets Asana - A New Paradigm

3 hour workshop

Are you finding that your students often struggle to do even the most basic poses in your classes? Or, if they’re able to do all the poses, do they complain of wrist, back or hip pain?

Unfortunately, most people are desk bound and their only movement for the day is during yoga class, so their bodies aren’t well adapted for the large ranges of motion required. Conversely, many of our students who are able to practice all the poses are still in pain, because they aren’t balancing out their extreme ranges of motion with stability and strength.

If you’re struggling with helping your students become more embodied and want strategies to create a safer class environment, this workshop is for you.

This Yoga Deconstructed® workshop will teach you:
  • How to apply modern movement science to your yoga teaching.
  • How to bring functional movement into your classes, while still feeling like you are teaching yoga.
  • An exercise science based approach to sequencing to prepare the body for movement and minimize the risk of pain and injury.
  • Understanding the components of a pose, such as directions of movement at each joint, loading principles, and biomechanics.
  • An introduction to taking an interdisciplinary approach to teaching yoga and how to add techniques from other modalities to your teaching toolbox.

A New Beginning : An Updated Approach to Prepare Your Students for Asana

3 hour workshop

In yoga classes, we’re trying to create an environment that nurtures your mind as well as your structure. However, many of our students don’t feel safe in classes, because they’re afraid of doing the poses “incorrectly” or receiving an unwanted hands-on adjustment.

Additionally, in most yoga classes, a typical warm up doesn’t facilitate joint differentiation. For example, in cat/cow most students will flex and extend their spine in the places that already have the most mobility, rather than finding movement in places that are underused.

Beginning your classes with somatic exercises and sensory feedback methods before a preparatory exercise such as cat/cow, helps your students become aware of movement blind spots that may contribute to pain in more advanced poses later in class.

This Yoga Deconstructed® workshop will teach you:
  • How to choose somatic exercises to encourage active ranges of motion, promote dynamic full body movement, and help prepare the body for larger static poses.
  • The application of myofascial release techniques to help your students embody the anatomical concepts taught in traditional yoga, so they can better understand the purpose of the pose.
  • How to apply the pain science paradigm to empower your students to trust that their bodies are robust and resilient.
  • Strategies to introduce variability and neuromuscular re-education into class that help facilitate tissue resiliency, neuroplasticity, and new motor patterns.

Preparatory Exercise: Introducing Creativity & Critical Thinking Into Your Classes

3 hour workshop

Modern postural yoga uses poses that in theory prepare the body for a peak pose at the end of class. However, exercise science has shown that there is a more effective way. By incorporating preparatory exercises into our classes, we can better prepare the body for more challenging asanas, while bridging the gap between our sedentary lifestyle and yoga asana. This also helps to reduce the risk of injury.

Also, asana is a highly specialized form of movement that often emphasizes aesthetics over function. Through preparatory exercise, we can balance out our practice, by including movements that don’t exist in yoga poses, thus reducing our risk of pain and overuse injuries.

If you’ve been trying to incorporate preparatory exercises in your teaching, but have been struggling with selecting the right exercises and sequencing them within a class, then this workshop is for you.

Oftentimes, alignment cues are thought to be synonymous with safety. However, not all alignment cues correlate with biomechanics or function. This is why critical thinking skills can make you a more effective teacher.

In this Yoga Deconstructed® workshop, you will learn to apply critical thinking when teaching, creating and selecting preparatory exercises.

This will help you understand:
  • How to choose the right preparatory exercises for your students’ needs and based on what you see in the room.
  • How to use preparatory exercises to prepare your students’ tissues and joints for specific asanas.
  • The application of preparatory exercise to improving function in everyday life and athletic performance.

Putting It All Together: A Revolutionary & Non Dogmatic Approach to Asana

3 hour workshop

Have you been trying to keep up with the latest research, but you aren’t sure how to apply it to your classes?

Are you looking for a way to differentiate yourself and specialize in movement, so you can establish credibility, be the go-to expert in your community, fill your classes, and get more private clients?

Do you just want to know how to keep your students safe?

If so, you’re in the right place.

Unlock your creative potential and movement smarts by learning how to combine applied anatomy with the transformative aspects of yoga.

This updated, evidence based formula will keep you current in your teaching, prepare you to foster a safe environment for multi-level classes, help you attract more private clients, and build your following.

This workshop will synthesize everything you’ve learned in the previous workshops, so you can:
  • Structure classes and layer exercises in a fun and challenging way, while keeping the heart of yoga.
  • Teach from a skills based approach, instead of lineage based approach.
  • Feel confident teaching complex poses and exercises in multi-level classes.
  • Incorporate exercises and theories from multiple modalities into your teaching.
  • Help your students build strength and stability to balance out their yoga practice.

Ya’ll know that this subject is near and dear to my heart as a bendy yoga practitioner and teacher so I am thrilled to be able to recommend her book!

It’s an excellent resource for students and teachers who want to learn more about how to navigate hypermobility when practicing yoga asana. In short, you need this book!!!!

We took the train from Porto to Lisbon on Saturday. 

If you missed our Porto adventures, you can check out my saved stories…there are A LOT of them!

We had dinner last night in Cascais at Lambrettazzurra Pizzeria and tried to remember if we had ever had better pizza 🍕 and we couldn’t…not even in Italy. 

The chef is from Naples and the restaurant is family owned… definitely go there if you’re in Cascais!

We’re definitely appreciating the cooler weather here… it was around 100 degrees every day we were in Madrid. 

I’m still posting our Madrid adventures in my stories but I’ll add Porto stories soon. 

As always there’s lost of food porn 😋.

P.S.  I never make time to shop for clothes at home because I’m too busy with work stuff and it’s frustrating and overwhelming but we went to @zara in Madrid and I got this cute dress for 49 euros 💶 and several more for 29 and 39 euros. I think the Zara stores have a bigger selection here than in the states because they are based out of Spain 🇪🇸 #travelmusings #shoppinginspain
In 2016 when the election results came in, we star In 2016 when the election results came in, we started looking for countries we might move to if things got bad enough that we had to get out of the US. Spain & Portugal were top of the list.

We were supposed to take this trip to check both places out in May of 2020 with some time in NYC to see friends on the front end. Obviously that didn’t happen so we rescheduled for September of 2021 and that was also a no go:(. 

As they say, third times a charm ☘️ and we finally got to take this trip! 🎉

So far we’ve been to Barcelona, Bilbao and San Sebastián. 

We’re in Madrid now and it’s been so much fun exploring each city and getting out of our regular work routines!!! 

After Madrid we’re headed to Portugal 🇵🇹. 

I’m still posting all the deets in my stories…lots of food porn so if that’s your thang then definitely check it out 😋. 

If you have any recommendations for Madrid, Porto or Lisbon lmk…we make our plans as we go ☀️

In these shots I’m a happy camper trying the extra thick version of hot chocolate they have here in Spain. 

You dip bread or a churro in it because it’s too thick to drink. 

It reminds me of a chocolate croissant 🥐 in reverse 🔄 . 

We just arrived in San Sebastián last night after spending yesterday in Bilbao. 

I’m falling in love with this country ❤️🍫 and a big thank you to everyone who has been DM’ing me their favorite things to do and eat in Spain 🇪🇸. 

We are trying them all!
