Arlington Studio 3528 Wilson Blvd Arlington, VA 22201 703.829.6428
This series provides participants with an introduction to three foundational meditation practices from the Buddhist tradition: samatha (calm abiding), vipassana (insight), and metta (lovingkindness). Taken together, these practices provide methods for stabilizing our mind, understanding ourselves more clearly, and approaching ourselves and others with greater friendliness. Sessions will be mainly experiential in nature and will include instruction in sitting and walking meditation, guided time for individual practice, and opportunities to build community through reflection and Q&A. Yin yoga poses will make several brief appearances during our practice time to help prepare the body for meditation and help us connect inwardly. No prior experience with meditation or yin yoga is required. Please bring a yoga mat and wear comfortable clothing. $70, or join for one (1) for $25. Schedule: Three (3) Wednesdays, 4:00-5:00pm - September 12
- September 26
- October 10
Katie teaches yin and yang yoga and meditation in classes, workshops, and Tranquil Space's teacher training program. In her practice and in her teaching, she is drawn to yoga as a path of integration and to practices that cultivate greater health, awareness, and connection. She is grateful for the teachers who have made these practices so accessible to her and for the opportunity to share them with others. Full payment is required to reserve a space in workshops. All workshops are non-refundable. Cancellations made two weeks or more prior to workshop start date will be issued store credit.

Vinyasa Fundamentals Series
by
Amanda Duncan
Sundays October 7, 14, 21, 28 & November 4, 2018 2:00 - 3:30 PM Cost: $125
Fairfax Studio 3960 University Dr Fairfax, VA 22030 517.572.9583
atha yoga-anuśāsanam
Now, after having done prior preparation through life and other practices, the study and practice of Yoga begins.
When we practice a yoga posture, we are aligning our bodies in a specific way to activate a specific reaction in our body. This reaction could be physical - extending your arms to create an extension through your torso , breath-based - an inhale at a specific point in a pose to create lift, or even energetic - focusing your gaze at one point to still the mind. We will cover this, and more, in this 5-part series on vinyasa foundations that is perfect for yogis of all levels who are looking to go deeper in their practice in a small-class setting. Ask Amanda questions, get modifications, and feel confident on your mat! You will be able to apply what you learn in your Bikram, yin, and power classes too!
- Class 1 - Salutes to the Sun: The foundation of the flow practice, Sun Salutations A & B. We will break down the postures and go over the proper breathing, alignment, gaze, modifications, and more.
- Class 2 - Grow Roots In your Standing Poses: Our goal will be to establish a strong connection to our feet (and our lower chakras) so that we can be stable and comfortable in our more advanced postures. Expect to discover warriors, triangle variations, twists, and some forward folds.
- Class 3 - Floor Series (Forward Bends): Forward bending can be one of the most therapeutic and calming exercises that we can do for our central nervous system. These poses can help us focus our energy in a more quiet way than in the standing series. Janu, Marichis, and an arm balance or two will be on the menu.
- Class 4 - Floor Series (Backward Bends): Vinyasa offers us some new opportunities to build spinal intelligence in our practice. We will learn about the different parts of the spine, how to move, where to breathe, and how to develop mental clarity in the pose. All levels welcome, modifications will be available to help you chart a course to more advanced variations.
- Class 5 - Mantra, Pranayama, and the Next Steps: Asana is only 1 limb of the 8-limbed yogic system. Pranayama, or the control and expansion of the breath, is the next limb, and is the natural progression for all yogis. Mantra - literally a “mind tool” - is a type of pranayama that focuses the mind, sharpens our intention, and clarifies our energy.
Come and learn about these in an approachable, no-pressure setting! Bio for Amanda: For me, yoga is a way to get back to my “original factory settings.” I started my yoga practice to lose weight, but in the process, I began to refine my mind and heal and strengthen my body. I felt younger and better, fundamentally. It is my hope to guide you towards this goal too, so that you can learn tools to help you be the best “you” shape possible. I love hearing success stories, share yours with me the next time you see me! Full payment is required to reserve a space in workshops. All workshops are non-refundable. Cancellations made two weeks or more prior to workshop start date will be issued store credit. No store credit will be given for cancellations made less than two weeks prior to workshop start date.

Whenever, Wherever: Building Your Home Practice
by
Anna Franklin
Sunday October 7, 2018 12:30 - 2:30pm Cost: $35
Dupont Circle 1632 17th St NW Washington, D.C. 20009 202.328.9642
- Love coming to class, but don’t always have the time or flexibility to do so, or
- Have been practicing for a while and are looking to enrich your yoga life with some super practical, guided self-direction
Then this is the workshop for you! We will approach our two hours together as a mini teacher training with a variety of takeaways to help you to teach you. Much like each pose is a series of building blocks, such is the case with building a home practice. You’ll learn to take what you’ve experienced in class and turn it into practice at home, identifying and incorporating sequences and poses you like, while maintaining safety throughout. You’ll also learn how to create a sacred space, including time for meditation and spiritual reading, warming up and cooling down, and of course a whole bunch in between! Please bring a journal/notebook and a pen.
When Anna suddenly became a part-time caretaker to a parent and then a sibling, she not only found the strength and courage in yoga to be a little kinder and a bit more patient, but also found herself increasingly attracted to the idea of sharing this healing practice with others. As a teacher, Anna strives to create a warm and welcoming community with her students while also focusing on the rigor of the practice to cultivate the rich and universal spirituality that yoga offers. She brings a sense of humor and deep care to her meditation and yoga classes. If you take a class, workshop, or attend a retreat with Anna, you can expect some time with your breath, space for reflection (and maybe some chanting!). Anna completed her 200 hour Vinyasa yoga teacher training in 2014 at The Studio DC and her 220 hour Kundalini Yoga TT in 2018 at Lighthouse Yoga Center.
