An array of things can contribute to tightness in the hips & hamstrings; running, stress, sitting, even simple daily activities such as walking! We often carry patterns within our movements, not all of which are good or healthy for our bodies. Restrictions within these regions can cause significant discomfort, even pain. By better understanding our anatomy, our postural & movement habits, as well as the mechanics of Yoga poses, we can begin to unravel held tension in the hips & hamstrings, creating space for energy to flow more freely throughout the body

In this playful workshop we’ll flow deeply in a yang style to create heat and length through the back line of the body as well as the full circumference of the hip. We’ll also rest into yin style postures to target the joints and connective tissues. Throughout the workshop we will utilize props as well as the wall to support all levels of practice. You’ll learn how to strengthen and stabilize in order to find more flexibility and freedom in this powerful region of the body. As we work systematically and artfully towards a number of peak postures you’ll experience how this balance of yin and yang creates more spaciousness and ease.

Please join us for the 5th annual Love♡Shine♡Play Festival, July 28-31, 2022 (tentative date) taking place against the breathtaking backdrop of the world’s oldest mountains in gorgeous Asheville, NC. The festival classes take place in beautiful venues throughout downtown Asheville as well as our gorgeous & famous Pack Square Park. You will be able to choose from a variety of offerings including yoga classes, meditation, talks, hikes, and more. The pedestrian friendly festival will allow you to immerse yourself in the vibrant life of a city brimming with cultural arts, culinary delights, and many independent shops.

Yoga teaches us that we are each born whole, complete, and perfect!! Due to our many life experiences we tend to forget this state of wholeness, we forget who we truly are, and we get lost in our physical, mental, and emotional reactions to life. It is important for us to remember that the human nervous system simply cannot evolve at the rapid pace that society and technology has. Hopefully through what you learn in this workshop you can begin to extend yourself a bit more grace during natural moments of challenge and upset.

During this experiential workshop we will utilize a holistic and traditional approach. Working with breath-work techniques alongside intuitive Yin, Yoga Nidra, and shaking meditation to reset the nervous system back to a state of ease and relaxation.

My hope is that through this workshop you’ll acquire a wide array of simple yet profound tools that you can skillfully use as you learn to access your current state of being and what your needs truly are.

This is the 10th year for Ooh La La Curiosity Market that is an artist’s market that takes place in Pritchard Park, located in the center of beautiful downtown Asheville and will showcase the work of local artists.

Taking place over 14 Saturdays throughout Summer and every Saturday in October.

Ooh La La will feature works by local painters, leather smiths, jewelry makers, potters, up-cycled crafters, and other curious delights, all beneath the colored canopies of large market umbrellas. You will also enjoy three different musicians performing throughout the day.

Ooh La La is also a fundraiser for Animal Haven of Asheville, a no kill shelter.

Connecting the two wonderful & beneficial practices together. We will begin by dropping into the breath and creating space within the body through gentle movements, and then finding stillness with long held Yin postures. Options, modifications, and encouragement for prop usage throughout. Within our second hour together; coming into the relaxation of Restorative Yoga, feeling held and supported by an abundance of props and perhaps the wall too. Printed handout of sequence included.

As the Late Summer season begins, we look to find the pause between the expansive Summer and the turning inward of Fall. Looking for cooling and calming poses to soothe and center us.  Allowing the thinking mind to let go and the physical body to simply feel. This workshop will offer options to restore the body & the nervous system. Printed handout of sequence included.
