The Path of Least Resistance 9:00 AM-11:00 AM
Yoga is essentially the art of balance. In this workshop you will learn techniques that illustrate exactly how much effort you need to exert in order to see the results you want in your practice. If there is a posture or series of movements that have frustrated you for years, this is perfect place to change your perspective on them. Learn to do your practice with grace, effortlessness, lightness and ease. Whether you’re the proverbial over-achiever or the one who cannot find the extra-motivation to get your butt to class, this special seminar will challenge your notion of the work ethic equation. Master the dynamic between activation and release, work and effort and discover true grace.

In this class you will learn to approach inversions with sound anatomical principles, an open mind, excitement and fun. You will experience first hand that it takes much more than brute strength to steady yourself on your hands. You will see how easy it really is to let yourself slide into postures, positions and inversions that you think are impossible with just the slightest change of perspective. Everything from shoulderstand to downward dog to handstand is part of the game.
