Pricing: $96 non-members/$80 members
1-6pm
For all Hatha Yoga Teachers, must be vaccinated to attend.
Do you ever find yourself agreeing to sub a class at the last minute and realize that you have no idea what to teach? If so, join Rebecca for this fun sequencing workshop designed to teach you her techniques for building a class at a moment's notice. As a pre and postnatal teacher, she often has to adapt to the changing needs of her students, and so often finds she has to abandon certain plans and poses midway through class. This technique, an expansion on elements she learned from her own teachers and prenatal teacher training along with her personal experience planning and teaching close to 1000 hours of classes, has helped her craft class sequences quickly. The workshop will include 2.5 hours of lecture and asana practice in the studio, followed by a 4pm community class taught at Fort Slocum Park. The community class will be taught by you, the workshop participants, in a round robin style, ON THE FLY!

Looking to go deeper in your yoga practice? Join Tara Lemerise, our lead Hatha Yoga Teacher Trainer for an in depth look at the roots of yoga, exploring both the ancient texts of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita.
Aside from exploring the many definitions of yoga offered in these texts, the activities and discussion will lead us to consider some essential questions: How can someone live a spiritually meaningful life without withdrawing from society? What can someone who does not want to give up family and social obligations do to live the right way? How do we make it through our struggle for self-mastery?

lead Hatha Yoga Teacher Trainer for an in depth look at the roots of
yoga, this time exploring the Yoga Sutras.

Suitable for curious yoga practitioners, aspiring yoga teachers, and current yoga teachers, the workshop ends with activities and discussion designed to help you connect the concepts from the Yoga Sutras to what you do on your yoga mat. You can expect lecture, all-levels welcome physical practice, chanting, meditation, journaling and group discussion.

1-7:30pm
Looking to go deeper in your yoga practice? Join Tara Lemerise, our lead Hatha Yoga Teacher Trainer for an in depth look at the roots of yoga, this time exploring the roots of Hatha Yoga.While some of today’s yoga practitioners have read the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, not many even know about the Shiva Samhita or the Gherand Samhita. It might be surprising to hear that these writings are the only three surviving texts of Hatha Yoga. We’ll spend our time in this workshop mining the details of these to-do manuals for the gems that can advance our practice. Along the way, we will develop both an intellectual and experiential understanding of the evolution of Hatha Yoga into modern day yoga classes. You can expect lecture, all-levels welcome physical practice, pranayama, meditation, journaling and group discussion.
