Collective Evolution

Take a moment to consider that we are all a little better when we work together.

Join me for a weekend of exploration through the yamas (Yoga’s moral, social, and ethical guidelines) and how our personal evolution leads to world change through karma and dharma. By using the tools available to us- physically, energetically, and psychologically- we enhance our growth and benefit our local and global communities.

*Can’t make the full weekend? Good news! You can still join us for Friday night only to get your community fix. Just look for Letting Go to Come Together ($44) on the booking page.

Explore the concept of aparigraha (non-attachment) and how it becomes a pathway to deeper connection. In this experiential workshop, we will practice letting go somatically and energetically and examine how personal release contributes to collective evolution. You will leave with practical tools for integrating aparigraha into daily life and relationships.

Tentative Schedule

6:00-6:55pm Community Conversation centered on the idea of letting go to come together.

7:00-8:10pm Restorative Yoga practice to encourage release in mind and body.

8:15-9:00pm Guided Yoga Nidra to create stillness and the opportunity to connect with collective consciousness.

Explore practical applications for the tools available to us! We’ll use blocks, bolsters, blankets, straps, sandbags, the wall, and other humans to assist in our Yoga practice. This whole day is dedicated to getting you comfortable with using props in your own practice, teaching classes that include props, and offering (and accepting) hands-on assists to students.

Tentative Schedule:

12:00-12:55pm Prop-heavy Yoga Practice: we’ll use something in every pose!

1:00pm-4:00pm Props for Everyone: wall, bolster, blocks, sandbags, straps, and blankets

*To be fully honest, I’m fairly certain I have over scheduled this weekend and will not get through all of the material planned. If that happens, we will adjust the schedule and/or add an additional time to cover whatever remains! Either way, I will provide you with print materials for all of it and the opportunity to join virtual follow-up sessions.
