August 31st & September 1st, 2019 Labor Day Weekend
I'm thrilled to offer four sessions in the inaugural Breckenridge Yoga Festival. Labor Day weekend is one of the most beautiful times to visit the Colorado Rocky Mountains, and Breckenridge is the most gorgeous of places to visit.
Hosted by my friends at Meta Yoga. Register, see the line-up, plan your travels. |
Your Body Isn't Wrong
8 am Saturday
Every style of yoga has rules for practice - some focus on alignment, others on repetition. In Yin yoga, the guiding principle is not how the pose looks, but how it feels. The student's body is the source of wisdom in this practice. Come learn several basic ways to adapt the practice to your body & take with you into any future Yin practice.
This practice is appropriate for all levels, including those new to yoga practice. Please bring a yoga mat, blanket (or beach towel), & yoga block (or two).
Confidence & Humility
3 pm Saturday
We have the greatest influence when we find our perfect balance of confidence and humility. If you land on the humble side, you apologize often... sometimes for things that aren't your responsibility, struggle with imposter syndrome, or think you have to jump through some impossible hoops to be 'good enough', this class is for you. We'll discuss some helpful ways to build confidence, overcome the humility or modesty that is holding you back, and probably laugh a bit, too.
This session includes a 60 minute Vinyasa style, practice with loads of circular movements for each joint and dynamic movement of the spine. Bring a yoga mat.
The Collaborative Forces of Yin & Yang
10 am Sunday
Do you resist rest? Alternate between frantic movement and incapacitation? The collaborative forces of Yin & Yang are here to support your well-being, not provide an opportunity for you to swing between extremes. Yin yoga is an elegant practice that leverages the beauty and wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In this session, you will learn a few basic principles of TCM anatomy, including six lower-body meridians & organs, and then move through a sequence of poses to nurture balance in the whole body.
This practice is open and accessible to all levels of practitioners, including those brand new to yoga. Please bring a yoga mat and blanket or beach towel.
Better Boundaries
3 pm Sunday
Having great boundaries isn't just about saying no, it's about learning who you really are and operating from your own integrity. Many wisdom traditions agree on the same principles - your job is to be you, without apology. So if you're apologizing for who you are, feeling perpetually overwhelmed, or feel like you "should" be happy and aren't, please join this session for two hours that will shift your perspective and improve every relationship in your life.
No asana practice, but several meditations and breath practices. Please bring a journal and a pen, and prepare to be seated for the duration of this session.
