Inversions
by
Renee LeBlanc
Inversions with Renee LeBlanc Sunday February 16 || 11am-1pm $45 Scared? Stuck? Yeah, we all are. Inversions are an integral part of physical yoga practice but, the fear is there for a reason - you have to do them SAFELY. In this workshop you'll feel encouraged to the max but not pressured to do anything you're not ready for. We'll LEARN headstands, forearm balance and handstand. If you already have an inversion practice, you'll learn ways to slow down your momentum on the way up and down and USE these postures to continue to grow your ability to focus and balance. For those of us new to being upside-down...a whole new world is waiting for you! About Renee After years in the corporate world spending a good deal of time trying to arrange meetings and travel around sneaking away to yoga classes any chance she could get, Renee decided to take the leap out of the office and into the studio in 2005 and teach and practice yoga full time and has never looked back. Renee has been physically active her whole life beginning as a serious ballet dancer until ballet became too much of an emotional and physical battle. She turned to running and weightlifting and then…someone dragged her to a vinyasa yoga class. In an un-yoga-like surge of competitiveness, Renee went back the next day because she couldn’t believe how hard yoga was. Slowly but surely, yoga wove its way in. She has studied many different methods of practice but her true love is power/vinyasa yoga. Renee credits her teaching style to a dedicated self practice as well as the incredible teachers with whom she has had the great privilege to study including Brock and Krista Cahill and Dharma Mittra.

Deeper Study for Teachers
by
Renee LeBlanc
Deeper Study for Teachers with Renee LeBlanc
Sunday February 23 || 11am-3pm
$125 || $100 before February 23
Many people have taken a 200-hour teacher training but man, we all know that is no where near enough. This practice runs very deep and we keep learning as we teach. If it weren't for my teachers, I'd be completely lost and honestly, I still have many days when I feel like I have no business standing in the front of a yoga room.
Please join me for a 4-hour session that will start with a quick talk, followed by a class that will morph into an intense "posture lab" where we'll break down several concepts, discuss simple anatomy and practice weaving what we're learning into the classes we teach over the next few weeks. Good cueing will be emphasized. We'll discuss how these concepts will help you to sequence your classes. We'll end with some "business of yoga / state of yoga" talking and make sure all your questions are answered. See you on your mats!"

Deconstructing Backbends (Part 1)
by
Alissa Portet
Deconstructing Backbends (Part 1) with Alissa Portet Saturday March 14 || 12-2pm $45 Have you been in a class where a teacher offered Urdhva Dhanurasana (Upward facing Bow/Wheel), but you weren't sure if you could do it safely? Perhaps you practice it regularly but it doesn't feel good? Regardless of your experience with the pose, it is important to understand what is actually happening so you can practice it mindfully. In Part 1 of this workshop we will focus on backbends with shoulder flexion. You will learn some modifications as well as strategies for building strength and awareness to achieve space and mobility. All levels of experience are welcome!
In this workshop you can expect to work on the following poses/skills and more: - Urdhva Dhanurasana (Upward facing Bow/Wheel) in detail, including modifications as well as options to walk up and down the wall (working on drop back)
- Pincha Mayurasana (Forearm Stand)
- Ustrasana (Camel) variation
- Salabhasana variations
- Basic anatomy of backbends with shoulder flexion
- Effective ways of opening the shoulders for these kinds of backbends
About Alissa: This practice has changed my life in a very profound way and continues to shape how I live each day. It has taught me how to make space, especially when life feels overwhelming. My asana practice has helped me develop the physical strength to tackle everyday struggles, and perhaps most importantly, it has taught me to be kind to myself. The physical practice might look and feel different from day to day, but the ability to dedicate yourself to something and be consistent in its practice is what makes a lasting difference. I first discovered yoga in 2010 while pursuing an acting career in Los Angeles; However, it soon became clear it was not my true life passion. In 2012 I completed my 200 hour training at Back Bay Yoga shortly after moving back to Boston, and started teaching right away. As a student it is my priority to continue educating myself through home practice, self study, and of course training with senior teachers whenever possible. As your teacher, I will teach you and I will challenge you by encouraging discipline as well as patience with yourself. My greatest hope is that you learn something every time you walk in to my class.

Self Care Sunday
by
Ray Mucci & Alecia Dayger
Self Care Sunday with Ray Mucci & Alecia Dayger Sunday March 22 || 2-4pm $35 || $40 day of This workshop is designed to support students at all levels of experience through an integrated sequence of flow and restorative yoga poses. This two hour practice begins with an hour slow flow and ends with an hour restorative practice. Throughout the workshop, a group of 4-6 assistants circulate in the space to provide hands-on assisting to deepen your awareness of your self, allow for the next level of relaxation and ultimately give you the opportunity to provide self care. Since 2012 this workshop has been offered monthly in the Cambridge space with our wonderful team of assistants. The first hour of the workshop is a slow flow vinyasa practice with an emphasis on mindful movement, breathing and of course, receiving assists. The second hour will unwind you with a restorative practice where poses and assist combine energetically to ease you into a state of relaxation. About Ray:Ray has been teaching Self Care Saturday since 2011 and has been involved with teaching assisting for many years before this. Back then, as the assisting team began to grow, Self Care Saturday was started as a means to support growth in the assistant community and a space to come together as a group to assist students together through a yoga practice. Ray uses mindful and simple cues to ease students through the slow flow portion of this workshop with the primary goal of creating space for students to mindfully move in a way that sets them up to receive assists, often teaching poses that are favorites to be assisted in.
About Alecia
Alecia believes that yoga is a healing practice. She structures her teaching to restore physical and mental balance. Her thoughtful cues help to illuminate patterns of tension and compensation, while inviting students to explore more effective ways of moving. Alecia utilizes breath work to anchor her classes in a present moment experience and provides space for students to be at home in their body.

You will learn techniques to: - Skillfully lead classes through 6 step-by-step, proven, whole-body sequences—approved by physical therapists, pain medicine specialists, and chiropractors—that can affect positive changes in the rotator cuff, upper back, lower back, neck, jaw, hips, IT band and feet.
