Description: Advancing the Basics is a four-part immersion designed to help you build a more intelligent, stable, and sustainable yoga practice. Over the course of 10 hours, we'll explore the essential principles of alignment, biomechanics, breath, and mindful movement through different families of postures.
Each session focuses on a specific group of poses, allowing us to slow down, investigate the details, and develop a deeper understanding of how the body moves and supports itself.
The most profound progress in yoga comes from understanding the foundations more deeply.
Session 1: Standing Poses
Saturday, August 22 — 9:00 - 11:30am
Establishing a strong foundation through the feet and legs, exploring balance, stability, grounding, and the relationship between the lower body and the spine.
Session 2: Forward Folds & Twists
Saturday, August 22 — 1:30 - 4:00pm
Learning how to create length before depth, protect the spine, and move with integrity while improving mobility and awareness.
Session 3: Backbends & Inversions
Sunday, August 23 — 9:00 - 11:30am
Understanding spinal extension, shoulder organization, and the principles of support, strength, and confidence that make these postures feel both safe and energizing.
Session 4: Hip Openers & Restorative Practice
Sunday, August 23 — 1:30 - 4:00pm
Exploring sustainable mobility, mindful release, nervous system regulation, and integrating the principles developed throughout the course.
Throughout the immersion, we'll explore:
Functional alignment that’s unique to each practitioner
Building stability by building strength in end range; i.e. increasing flexibility
Efficient movement and intelligent muscular engagement
Breath as a guide for awareness
Refining familiar poses to reveal new depth
Developing a practice that supports longevity and resilience
This immersion is open to practitioners of all levels. Whether you're building a solid foundation or refining years of experience, you'll leave with practical tools that can transform your yoga practice moving forward.
Because the basics are never truly finished, they simply become more refined.
