It’s about time we looked at the practice in new ways.

This workshop is for students and teachers alike who are ready to be inspired and leave behind the things that aren’t working. Whether you’ve stagnated on your mat, or just been away for awhile, this experience will the perfect way to reinvigorate your yoga for the new year.

This week long series will take an honest look at some of the stuff we’ve been doing in modern yoga and offer ways to improve upon it. There is so much current research happening around yoga and movement. We will be using some of this new information to inform and refine what we are doing with our bodies. It will be a very physical week so be prepared for a challenge.

Some yoga experience will be beneficial, towels necessary.

Vytas has created his expertise from almost 20 years of studying and practicing. He is one of the leaders in helping modern yoga find its footing in the mainstream. His functional and technical approach to a classic methodology has won over many people and helped them reap the benefits of the practice. After years of struggling with addiction, yoga was one of the things that helped him turn his life around and truly find peace. This inspiration is what drives Vytas to help others find comfort in their state of being. Although his yoga is physically demanding and will transform your body into its highest state, it is also an exercise in releasing stress and finding clarity.

Calvin After growing up around the yoga community and being very resistant to the idea of doing yoga, I caved shortly after graduating college and began to practice yoga regularly. Shortly after that, I began to study with my teacher, mentor and good friend Vinnie Marino at YogaWorks. My formal training began with a 200 hr teacher training at YogaWorks with Iyengar teacher Jenny Aurthur and Jesse Schein and continued on to complete my 300 hr teacher training at YogaWorks as well assisting in the Ashtanga room most of my days. As a student I enjoy practicing many different styles of yoga and have been fortunate enough to study with a variety of senior teachers including Lisa Walford, Maty Ezraty and even Sharath Jois in Mysore, India. My classes are a blend of all the styles I practice (Vinyasa Flow, Ashtanga, Iyengar) and I am known for creative sequencing, upbeat music and overall being pretty challenging. I teach mainly out of YogaWorks in Santa Monica which I hold very dearly as this is where I began with my daily practice.
