Balance your frazzled nervous system, soothe your aching muscles, and quiet your anxious mind in this pampering restorative yoga workshop.

Perfect for the type-A power yoga practitioner. Also perfect for your grandma. This workshop is inclusive of all levels of practitioners.

Take time to slow down, relax, and receive in a pampering afternoon of yoga.

We will start with a little bit of chanting and joint mobilization. For the bulk of the workshop, restorative postures are held for extended periods of time while a crew of massage therapists occasionally adorn you with hot river rocks, therapeutic mini massages and aromatherapy. We will finish with Yoga Nidra (“yogic sleep” – a traditional guided meditation during long savasana) to leave you feeling deeply renewed. Peel away the layers of fear, tension, and anxiety and unlock your own creative ocean of bliss.

Making contact starts a conversation and a conversation can give you information and insight. In the depths of winter, traditionally a time of yin, inward energy, we are able to slow down and truly hear the world - both our inner and outer worlds. We can use one another to hone our inner listening skills and remove the layers covering up our truest, brightest selves.

In this workshop, you will

- cultivate curiosity in yourself and a sense of play with others

- build communication, trust, and self-awareness through a partner yoga practice

- give and receive a Thai massage to tonify the kidneys and deeply relax

- reflect on the information and insights obtained from working with others

Amanda Briody is an adaptable and curious yoga instructor who loves to help students build stable architecture in their physical bodies so that they can be more well-rounded in the world. She believes the practice of yoga goes beyond the physical realm and must be partnered with esoteric principles to truly be transformative and squeeze the juice out of the practice. She is currently studying and incorporating the magic and metaphor of the Katonah yoga practice into her teachings which involve theories and techniques rooted in Hatha Yoga, Traditional Chinese Medicine, sacred geometry, and Daoism. It is her mission to help students find the forms and fits with their own bodies and in their own lives in order to aid each student's own reformation and self-evolution. She fell in love with Thai Massage 8 years ago during an AcroYoga Training and has been practicing and sharing this healing art as a method of self-care and self-reflection. Amanda's relaxing style and playful energy allow for exploration of the whole self - mind, body, breath, and spirit through conscious movement, breath awareness, and mindful cultivation of curiosity and imagination on and off the mat.

The Program: The series is kept small so that participants have the opportunity to ask questions, "workshop", and learn modifications for poses, and receive individual feedback about their alignment. Each day will focus on applying anatomy to yoga postures (known as "asanas" in yoga), practice, posture clinic, and yoga philosophy. The series will survey multiple styles of yoga, enabling students to make more informed and confident choices when choosing their classes in a studio environment. This is an ideal series to ease into the practice and teachings of yoga in a fun and supportive environment.

As an instructor of Kinesiology (the study of movement and musculoskeletal anatomy) at Miami’s Educating Hands School of Massage from 1999-2003, David developed a fun, informal and informative style of teaching. By repeatedly teaching incoming students who had no prior understanding of anatomy, David was confronted with the problem of making such a complex and beautiful system accessible and understandable to the average person.

David brings his unique style and ability to make things simple to the yoga world. Because of his passion and desire to share the human body with everyone, he delivers this complex and sometimes frustrating topic in a way that is very accessible and understandable to yoga practitioners.
