INTO THE SOMA: A Weekend Immersion of Mind Body Practices
4/19 - 4/21/24
With Kelly Haas
Join Kelly for a weekend of diverse classes to dive deep into your inner wisdom.
SOMA is a word of Ancient Greek origin meaning “body”. Our physical body is our first and long lasting home. Our yoga practices can remind the body of our state of wholeness, with all parts connected.

Yoga at the Wall Workshop Series
Saturdays, 5/4 - 5/18/24
With Kathleen Barry
Kathleen will lead you through a sequence exploring postures using the wall as an intentional prop. From warrior poses to forward bends, balancing poses to twists, and inversions to heart openers, this workshop will offer new, invigorating, and playful insights into your practice!
The Pelvis is Everything with Judith H. Lasater
6/11 - 6/13/24
In this four-hour online course, we will focus on the pelvis, its anatomy and energetic importance to our lives through lecture and practice. We will study the part the pelvis plays in creating yoga poses, including standing poses, backbends, forward bends, twists and inversions. We will question with an open mind and heart some of the assumptions we make about the pelvis, how we can open to a new way of seeing the pelvis and its potential in asana.
Relax & Renew, Learning to Teach Restorative Yoga Level 1 with Judith H. Lasater
