Asana Lab
by
Jill Abelson
Looking for a breakthrough or "aha" moment for a tricky pose? Headstand has you stumped? Wheel Pose? Then this workshop is for you.
Based on a brilliant format pioneered by Jivamukti Yoga Co-Founder (and Jill's primary teacher) David Life, Asana Lab is a unique and invaluable opportunity to work on a specific asana with support and encouragement from the entire group. After a brisk warm-up, each participant will have the chance to troubleshoot their most challenging pose in a round robin format. Together, we find solutions through creative problem-solving, subtle adjustments and modifications, use of props, partner work and spontaneous fun.
All levels + styles welcome.
~Due to the individualized nature of Asana Lab, space is limited to 15 participants.~ Asana Lab

Let's Break It Down: A Comprehensive Weekend Immersion
by
Nikki Estrada
Refine and deepen your yoga practice with 4 mini workshops covering hips, abdominals, shoulders, inversions and restorative postures. Each session will include an anatomy/movement lecture, breathing techniques and asana practice. By understanding how the body moves we can integrate healthy alignment and breath into all of our poses, creating more strength, freedom and vibrancy in our practice. Preparatory poses, modifications and variations included. This weekend series is open to dedicated students and teachers interested in developing their self-awareness and knowledge base for personal practice and beyond. TOPICS
Friday | 7:30-9:30 pm | $50*
Core: When we think core, we think abdominal muscles. This is true but in yoga the core is so much more. This session will cover the muscles of the core and what it means to be strong and balanced. We will also cover the energetic core which is the secret key to hatha yoga and the path of transformation for the practitioner. Asana practice will be designed to help us both strengthen and access the center of the body. Saturday Session 1 | 1:30-3:30 pm | $50* Shoulders: The shoulders are the most mobile joint in the body, and in vinyasa yoga we use them a lot! Understanding how the shoulders move and keeping them strong, flexible and well aligned is essential to a sustainable, long-term vinyasa yoga practice. We will cover the movements of the shoulders as well as optimal alignment in key postures like downward facing dog, plank, chaturanga and more. Asana practice will help us uncover where we need more awareness in the shoulders. Saturday Session 2 | 4:30-6:30 pm | $50* Hips: The hips are like the shoulders in that they are a ball and socket joint, but way less mobile. After exploring the movements of the hip joint we will put our understanding into an asana practice that moves the hips in all directions creating mobility and strength. Sunday | 1-4 pm | $60* Inversions: Getting upside down can be exhilarating and scary at the same time. It is extremely important we prepare the body and the mind before reversing the weight onto the hands, head or shoulders. This session will cover two inversions and include assessing student capability to invert, contraindications, preparations for inverting and variations or alternative poses. No inversion experience is necessary to attend this practice. Restoratives + Breathing: The parasympathetic nervous system is a state of rest and ease. Practicing restorative yoga helps us to gently induce this calm and easy state of being by putting the body into a variety of shapes with support and allowing us to let go. Gently altering our breathing patterns (pranayama) can also support deep relaxation. This session will include a little theory and guided pranayama along with the restorative practice. Let's Break It Down: A Comprehensive Weekend Immersion Nikki Estrada May 17-19 Friday: 7:30-9:30pm Saturday Session 1: 1:30-3:30pm Saturday Session 2: 4:30-6:30pm Sunday: 1-4pm $210 full weekend | $180 by April 17* ** YogaWorks Novato, 7320 Redwood Blvd, #C(415) 408-6565
*Single sessions available. Prices vary (see individual sessions above). Nikki Estrada has more than 20 years of teaching experience and has been leading 200 and 300-hour teacher trainings for more than 14 years. She is YA500hr E-RYT and was Director of Trainer Development for YogaWorks for more than 7 years where she supported and mentored teacher trainers.

Finding Balance in Difficult Times
by
Oren Jay Sofer
Equanimity is balance born of wisdom; it’s our heart and mind’s capacity to roll with the inevitable challenges and changes of life without taking it personally, without falling into despair or hopeless. Rather than a bland state of neutrality, or a cold state of indifference, equanimity gives us a wide space to feel the whole range of human experience, and the poise to act with wisdom and care rather than reactivity. Whether it’s personal loss and difficulty, challenges in relationship, or the immense pain our world is facing, equanimity is the indispensable quality that allows us to meet life with grace and balance, and at times to keep going in the face of extraordinary hardship.
Learn to:
o Find balance with difficult emotions
o Understand how we get reactive and what helps us to let go
o Get perspective when challenged overwhelmed
This evening program will include a guided meditation, lecture, and time for Q&A. The evening will be followed by a book signing.

Heal Your Neck! Unraveling the Knots of the Neck, Shoulders + Upper Back
by
Sara Hess
 Modern technology offers countless benefits, but the fact remains: many of us spend hours sitting in front of our computer or hunched over our mobile phone and tablet, and the repetitive movement patterns associated with using these digital devices can wreak havoc on neck and shoulder happiness. Our use of tech can cause not just strain, but also weakness! Surprisingly, one reason so many of us suffer from chronic neck tension is because our neck muscles are weak!
Stretching and massages, while relaxing, don't address the underlying causes of the discomfort. Join Sara Hess in this 2-hour workshop and learn to move in ways that realign your posture, help release tension, and promote more functional, strengthening movement patterns.
In this workshop, you will learn:
- Exercises to increase upper back + shoulder mobility, stability, and function.
- How to induce relaxation and reduce stress, increasing the benefit of your neck/shoulder exercises.
