Gateway Postures of The Primary Series
(Bhujapidasana, Kurmasana, Supta Kurmasana)
Sometimes we get a bit stuck! Our legs, shoulders or knees won’t go where we want them to and we feel more achy than happy when attempting the higher notes of our practice, also called
the ‘Gateway Postures’ as they serve as indicators that our body has grown ready for a next level. This workshop addresses that issue! Focusing on technique, proper alignment and anatomical insights will help you understand how your body moves and how to
progress to a next level of your aptitude. We set up for a detailed experience of the difficult gateway postures, slowly peeling off the layers that obstruct our view and motion required to find true freedom and power within.
All levels are welcome.

Winter Arc Intensive November 3- December 8
My thirteen year old son has really gotten into weightlifting this year. I am so proud of him and am inspired by his discipline. He will wake up early to hit the gym before school and will even stop by after school to get another workout in with friends. He is feeling confident and I can see a big difference in him physically and mentally. He has been talking about going into his “Winter Arc” and it partially makes me giggle because it sounds so trendy, but it also makes me want to do something like that. Do you want to join me? This intensive involves being more consistent with our asana practice, develop mental practices like reading, journaling, chanting, meditating and building a better relationship with ourselves through discipline. This is a month-long intensive that includes unlimited yoga, five semi-private classes and one consultation to make your goals clear and attainable. Let’s make some progress as we head into the holiday months with more clarity and purpose. It takes a village so let’s do this together!
