Strength and Mobility; Exploring the Lower Body
Saturday, August 6, 1:00 - 3:00 pm
Did you know that we often don’t use the lower body very effectively – even on the yoga mat? This workshop will begin with a brief practice to warm up. Then we will look at how we can use familiar poses to build strength to support the ankles, knees, hips, and lower back. We will also look at how building strength can improve mobility and range of motion.
In Person at The Yoga Center Retreat.
Treat Your Feet
Saturday, September 17, 1:00 - 3:00 pm
Most of us have feet that lack mobility and strength, and yet we ask our feet to support the entire body in various ways all day long. Foot mobility and strength is directly linked to common complaints such as bunions, plantar fasciitis, and joint pain in other parts of the body. This two-hour workshop will address some of the common causes of those tight, stiff feet. Dress for some simple movement. We will work barefoot, no socks.
Learn how to improve foot function and health. Healthier feet = healthier you.

Strength and Mobility; Exploring on All Fours
Saturday, October 15, 1:00 - 3:00 pm
Did you know that building core, gaining flexibility, and improving stability are all benefits of familiar poses such as table, incline and down dog?
Join us as we explore poses on all 4's and learn the variations that you may not have considered or experienced. This workshop will start with a brief practice to warm up. Then we’ll break into exploration of these poses, discovering how you can build strength through variation, play, and experimentation. All my strength and mobility workshops include practice, observation, discussion, and exploration.

Strength and Mobility; Exploring the Side Body
Saturday, November 5, 1:00 - 3:00 pm
When you think of the core, you likely think of washboard abs, or sit-ups or crunches, or … well basically anything that uses the abdominal muscles. But if you have ever tried to do a side plank, you know that the core is more than just the front of the body. This workshop will begin with a brief practice. Then we will look at poses that articulate the spine in lateral curves, as well as poses that build strength and stability. All my strength and mobility workshops include practice, observation, discussion, and exploration.

Fancy Poses for Stiff Bodies (Lynn's Birthday workshop)
Saturday, December 10, 1:00 - 3:00 pm
I cannot tell you how often I hear “I’m too stiff to do yoga.” Do you also say you’re too tired to go to bed? Or too hungry to eat? This workshop looks at ways to make Fancy Poses more accessible to stiffer, tighter bodies. I’m not the most flexible, and many of my students and clients aren’t either. But we still do versions of some of the fancy poses. You don’t have to look like the gumby yogis to feel like the gumby yogis. This will be a long-ish practice and we will frequently stop to find ways for each individual attending to find their best versions of challenging poses.
I always teach a workshop on or near my birthday. This year is no different. I’m turning 57 on December 6th. So come help me celebrate. I’ll bring the treats!
