The Power of Breath & Alignment
by
Leslie Kaminoff
The Power of Breath & Alignment with Leslie Kaminoff February 23-24, 2019 Saturday 11:30 - 7:00 PM Sunday 9:30 - 5:00 PM* Cost: $349 Full, $299 by Nov 30, Single Day $199** YogaWorks Federal Hill 1024 Light Street Baltimore, MD 21230 800.336.9642 X11
Leslie Kaminoff is a yoga educator inspired by the tradition of T.K.V. Desikachar. He is recognized internationally as a specialist in the fields of yoga, breath anatomy and bodywork. For four decades he has led workshops and developed specialized education for many leading yoga associations, schools and training programs in America and throughout the world.
SATURDAY Morning Introduction to Breath-Centered Yoga Yoga practice in the tradition of Krishnamacharya and Desikachar exhibits many distinctive principles and practices not found in other Hatha Yoga lineages. Details of breath sequencing, coordination with movement and spinal action are just some of the subjects we will explore in this highly interactive, experiential and informative session.
Afternoon Exploring The Breathing Body In Yoga Based on his deceptively simple yet powerful definition – shape change in the cavities – Leslie will lead participants into a progressively deeper understanding of the vital forces at work in the human breathing mechanism during yoga practice. Along the way, many myths and misconceptions about yogic breathing and the diaphragm will be addressed and clarified.
SUNDAY Morning Re-imagining Alignment, Part 1 This highly interactive workshop will promote an experimental, experiential atmosphere of inquiry regarding the teaching of alignment, safety and effective cueing of asana. Starting with an historical and anatomical perspective on the subject and a functional definition of alignment, we will explore how human uniqueness requires us to understand that “asanas don’t have alignment – people have alignment.”
Afternoon Re-imagining Alignment, Part 2 Building on clear, simple principles that govern healthy musculoskeletal function, Leslie will explain why many common alignment cues like “tuck your tail,” “lengthen your spine,” “square your hips” may be doing more harm than good. Working closely with class participants, he will suggest what kind of language and concepts may be used instead.
*There is a break each day, Saturday 2:30-4pm; Sunday 12:30-2pm **Priority given to students registering for the full weekend. Single Day purchase will be available 6-8 weeks prior.
Leslie's approach to teaching combines intellectual rigor, spontaneity and humor, and is always evolving.

Introduction to Thai Bodywork: Connect & Flow
by
Jess Crutchfield
Friday, March 8, 2019 6:45 - 9:45 PM Cost: $60Midtown Studio107 E. Preston StreetBaltimore, MD 21202800.336.9642 x13Thai Bodywork is an ancient healing art, said to have originated before the time of the Buddha. Often called the “lazy man's yoga”, the receiver is passive and the practitioner stretches and compresses their body. When offering Thai massage we draw from thousands of years of healing, and incorporate elements of acupressure, massage, mobility and range of motion, breath, and deep tissue work through use of bodyweight mechanics. In this workshop, we will cultivate unconditional loving kindness (metta) to bring balance, trust, and connection to both giver and receiver. We will use the tools of receptivity, gravity, and sensitivity as you are guided through physical techniques that will allow you to practice both roles with ease and confidence. You will feel restored and more connected to yourself and others when you leave, with an enhanced sense of receptivity and quality of touch.
In this 3 hour exploration...- connect to the self and the space as a whole, drawing inward and listening to what our bodies need to clear out and get un-stuck, letting go of what no longer serves us in this period of transition (this cold season, the new year)
- learn a mini-sequence you can practice on your friends or loved ones, geared for the places we tend to chronically hold stress. You will receive a PDF/Video of this sequence.
This workshop includes partner work and therapeutic touch. Dress for comfort and bring layers (givers will get warm, and receivers will get cool!). No mats or props needed. All levels welcome, no partner and no experience necessary! Even those with experience can benefit from these foundational practices. Jess Crutchfield is a Baltimore-based yogini and bodywork practitioner, driven and inspired by yoga and wellness. She is YA 200 hr certified in Hatha Raja yoga of the Sri Dharma Mittra lineage and currently teaches “Dharma Yoga”, trauma-informed yoga through the BodyWise Foundation, children’s yoga, and Thai Bodywork workshops and weekend-trainings. She is known for her skillful presence in the classrooms of studios, workplaces & public schools. Her caring heart and capacity to hold space as a Thai bodywork practitioner and her dedication to the awakening of others through energetic transformation. Jess is committed to bringing healing and awareness to the world. She supports and encourages her students to align with their bodies and minds through conscious breath both on, and off the mat. “The body has an incredible capacity to heal itself, if only given the chance.”

Intro to Ashtanga
by
Justin Temple
Sunday, March 24, 2019 12:00 - 2:30 PM Cost: $50
Midtown Studio 107 E. Preston Street Baltimore, MD 21202 800.336.9642 X13
Ashtanga yoga is for everyone. And that is what’s great about this method of practice. This workshop will:
- Introduce you to the Ashtanga yoga practice
- Explain how this practice can work for you as an individual
- Practice the fundamental postures of the Ashtanga series
- Explore how this system contributes to improved strength, stamina, flexibility, breathing and breath control
- Prepare you to enter a led primary series class or Mysore-style (self-practice) setting with confidence
This workshop suitable for beginners, those with no yoga experience at all, and those who have yoga experience but have not practiced much Ashtanga yoga. Beginners will have the opportunity to learn fundamental postures with modifications, when appropriate. Those with more yoga experience will refine skills and extract more information from the fundamentals covered.
Justin Timothy Temple After being pulled, hooting and hollering, into my first yoga class at the bidding of my friends, I was instantly drawn to yoga and started a steady once-a-month practice. When that wasn't enough, once-a-month turned to twice-a-week, and twice-a-week turned into a day away from those same friends having an intervention.
I decided to take a 200-hour teacher training program when I began to feel my downward-facing dog edging me closer to enlightenment. Not much time passed before I realized that I knew nothing about it–and still don't! All that aside, I have learned quite a bit about teaching the technical aspects of a yoga practice.
I believe in teaching yoga to every student the same way I was taught–as an individual. I describe my group classes as radically consistent. My focus is to help each student get the most out of their practice. Both, in the short and long-term.
I would be careless if I did not acknowledge those who I am deeply grateful for helping me be the teacher I am today. First, Kim Manfredi, who saw the potential in me and gave me an opportunity to grow at every turn, thank you. Next, Debbie Saag and Heather Hax, who continue to push me forward every single day and never let me forget that I am always capable of more, thank you. Last but not least, everyone who shows up to practice in the Mysore program at YogaWorks Midtown and keeps me inspired, thank you so much.

Federal Hill Studio 1024 Light Street
Baltimore, MD 21230 800.336.9642 x11 Tackle the joyful, playful, and (let’s be honest!) scary task of conquering our fear of going upside down. We will think and move. Bring your questions! We will think and move. Bring your questions! - We will begin with a discussion to help troubleshoot common pitfalls in handstand practice and identify key alignment and anatomical considerations.
- We will explore breath and bandha, and how to build your own “inner parachute” for floating transitions.
- We will brainstorm sustainable “exit” strategies.
- We will learn some “animal walk” exercises that bring weight into the shoulder girdle, increase mobility in the hips shoulders and back, and prepare the body for handstand.
- We will build a foundation that creates confidence, body awareness, and a more certain path in and out of handstand.
- Students will practice core exercises to identify and target the Transverse Abdominis, Pelvic Floor musculature, and Serratus Anterior that helps to support a strong handstand practice.
- We will move through sun salutations and hamstring stretches to prepare the body, interspersed with handstand work and partner exercises. Lily will introduce a three pronged approach to use the wall to move away from the wall in handstand on the path towards free flying in the middle of the room.
- Time towards the end will be given for deep stretches to open the chest, hips, neck, and shoulders..
- At the end of the workshop, students will receive a take home exercise protocol in their email inbox to continue the daily work of supporting the strong core that is needed for a more adventuresome inversion practice.
This workshop is open to intermediate level students who have an established handstand practice at the wall already. Lily Dwyer Begg has been practicing yoga since 1999 and teaching since 2005. Her healing work is a labor of love has brought her to teach in yoga studios internationally, to work therapeutically with private clients, to teach for an NBA basketball team, an NCAA diving team, at the San Francisco Opera & Ballet and to offer yoga to homeless women and children. As a bodyworker, Lily’s practice is informed by her lifelong, embodied understanding of anatomy as a yogini and a dancer and is strong yet tuned-in, specific and therapeutic yet at the same time delightfully pampering. Her work is founded in the scope of Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Sports massage, utilizing techniques including Joint Mobilization, Trigger Points and Post Isometric Reflex. She seeks to help people increase body awareness, unravel long-held body tension patterns that are no longer of service, and discover possibilities for healing, pain reduction, and inner harmony.
