Yoga on the Mountain 2024

The Turkish get-up (TGU) is a comprehensive full-body exercise that will strengthen all the major muscle groups, increase mobility all throughout the body, and will improve conditioning or heart health. The TGU takes you from supine to standing with a weight in an overhead position – It is essentially loaded yoga and is highly accessible to yogis because the movements of the get-up will be familiar from yoga practice, and because the foundation for a good get-up is body awareness and breath. Come to this workshop to learn how to apply your yoga practice to a full-body strength training exercise that hits all the bases!  We will practice with blocks (provided) AND if you have a kettlebell or dumbbell at home, bring it and use it!  

Join us for a deep and intimate conversation with Stacey as we explore an open conversation about Mystery, Divinity, Holy Hell, God Concepts and Sacred Geometry. We will dive into topics such as embracing the unforeseen, the mystery, the twists and turns life throws at us, and learning to surrender to these unexpected events. We will also discuss the concept of "holy hindsight," which involves looking back at past experiences to find meaning and lessons that were not apparent at the time. This dialogue aims to provide insights into how we can navigate our professional and personal lives with grace and wisdom.

Discover a fresh, integrated approach to pelvic floor health. We'll shift away from isolating the pelvic floor and instead place it within broader myofascial lines and functional movement patterns. Focused on the inner core, you'll leave with practical exercises to support long-term pelvic health.

Conflict is a necessary part of improving and evolving relationships. In the heat of the moment, it is hard to see it this way, but conflict should be something that we all welcome and embrace because it is conflict resolution that leads us to deeper levels of love and connection with the people around us, whether they are our partners or family or coworkers or neighbors or even strangers. Hard conversations are a necessary part of conflict resolution, but many of us find ourselves avoiding hard conversations and landing in a minefield of resentment, anxiety, and stress because we are ill-equipped to lead a hard conversation and have a history of them not going well. This workshop is all about improving your relationships by leaving this avoidant behavior pattern behind and empowering yourself with the knowledge of how to have hard conversations. You will learn to be a better active listener and the seven steps of how to have hard conversations. Come ready to take notes and engage with others!

Embrace Conflict: Building Deeper Relationships Through Hard Conversations

Unwind and surrender. This class focuses on developing the ability to let go of the busy mind and senses, and instead, connect with the relaxed state of self-awareness. In line with yoga philosophy, self-awareness is considered the deepest aspect of the self, transcending the physical and mental layers, and inherently at ease. Many profound benefits of yoga stem from tapping into this essential state of being. Sara will guide a blend of gentle flow and yoga nidra, while Lucus provides rhythmic music to facilitate deep conscious relaxation. Crafted to enhance clarity and healing, this session will leave you feeling completely revitalized!

Unlock Your Potential: Functional Mobility Training for a Healthy Life
Healthy movement is one of the keys to a healthy life, and mobility is foundational to healthy and functional movement. While a regular yoga practice can help increase mobility slowly over time, a more targeted and well-rounded approach will speed-track progress and help identify a person's unique limitations and needs. This class is for anyone looking to dive deep into a functional and targeted approach to mobility training. Expect to move your body in new and different ways, explore the available range of all of your joints, uncover your limitations, and learn tools to help you overcome them. Our approach will involve some banded and weighted stretching and it will be structured more like a workout with reps and sets as opposed to a yoga-style flow or long stretches. You will learn to move more efficiently, prevent injury, improve balance and flexibility, build strength, and improve your overall quality of life!
