Partner/Acro Yoga

Practicing with a partner is a wonderful way to do yoga as both yogis are fully engaged in the experience.  Partners rely on each other to maintain balance, alignment and focus. This is a great way to heighten connection and trust with someone, enhance communication (verbal and non-verbal) as well as be open to having fun and full faith in each other for support. We touch and are touched by others. We use touch in order to receive and increase our awareness of each other, and to open ourselves to greater depths in our body and mind. Leverage and kinesthetic awareness heighten our body’s ability to practice, making it possible to go deeper into poses with less effort.

Ayurveda:  Yoga’s Sister Science

Learn how to see yourself from an Ayurvedic perspective by using principles through which Ayurveda views the universe. These Ayurveda basics are foundational tools for:

- Interpreting the laws of nature

- Identifying various states of health or imbalance

- Charting a course toward improved well-being

- Examining these core principles will also help illustrate what makes Ayurveda such a timeless  art and science.

 This workshop will cover the 3 Doshas of your Ayurvedic Body Types including: vata, pitta, and kapha. The doshas, or some combination of them, can be identified in various seasons, climates, landscapes, activities, plants, and animals. Each of them embodies a combination of elements and qualities to create a functional entity—an energetic force of nature.

An overview of the five elements as the fundamental building blocks of nature: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether (Space)

Workshop begins with a cooking class for kitcheri and eating a meal together (along with 10 healthy ayurvedic recipes).
