Art of Alignment: Yoga Workshop ~ Mastering the Basics and Beyond

Art of Alignment: Yoga Workshop – Mastering the Basics and Exploring Intermediate Variations

The last Art of Alignment workshop I offered sold out and was so well received, I’ve decided to create another workshop along a similar format, focusing on mindful alignment to receive enhanced benefits, comfort, and enjoyment so you can expand your yoga practice.

PLEASE NOTE, this workshop is designed for you if:

  • You want to understand how precise alignment can help you feel more comfortable in your body and in your yoga practice.
  • You want to really ‘get’ the basic poses in yoga. (These poses aren’t necessarily easy or simple, but they are the foundation of all other poses.)
  • You want to use the knowledge you gain through the alignment to take your personal yoga practice to the next level – whatever that is for you: whether it means finding relief from pain or playing in more advanced postures in yoga.

In fact, my yoga practice completely blossomed when I learned the techniques I’ll be teaching in these classes! AND I am able to apply this knowledge to the rest of my life.

This is what I want to share with you.

This workshop is currently full. If you’d like to be notified of future workshops and yoga classes, please subscribe to my Yoga from the Heart Newsletter.

Parsvakonasana can be a fabulous stretch for your hips, hip flexors, shoulders and side body. Plus, it often brings a profound opening in your breath that feels incredible!

This two day workshop helps you explore a new paradigm in therapeutic alignment, and gives you the tools to align optimally which leads to a more fulfilling yoga practice and inspired life.

Discover how to practice yoga safely and skillfully, address any areas where you currently experience pain, and feel more comfortable in your body.

Learn how to get the most benefit from basic poses which are the foundation for all levels of yoga practice, and how these poses translate into more intermediate versions OR modifications appropriate for your body.

This workshop is ideal for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

Yoga Radio: Going Deep into Yoga with Desireé Rumbaugh

Desiree Rumbaugh

In this episode of Yoga Radio with Katrina Ariel:

Have you ever seen someone in a crazy pretzel yoga pose and wondered how they do that? Or perhaps you seek inspiration in different ways, like wanting to get the most from a simple practice in yoga and go deep into how it can translate to supporting you off the mat.

My guest, Desireé Rumbaugh, is a world renowned yoga instructor who can not only get into those crazy-awesome advanced poses, but is well known for her light-hearted approach to bringing the depths of yoga to anyone, no matter what their level of practice.

I really enjoyed this conversation, especially the “Love is Stronger than Fear” message she brings so clearly to us. We got into talking about Avatar too… Des and I both loved aspects of that movie and how much it reflects some of the fundamental elements of yoga. Get ready for a fun discussion with this incredible woman!

Yoga Radio: Yoga for Headaches, Shoulder, Neck, Wrist and Back Pain

In this episode of Yoga Radio with Katrina Ariel:

Do you spend a lot of time sitting at a computer or desk?

Some of the most common complaints people have with pain happen because of hours spent sitting and working in less-than-optimal alignment.

In this show we’ll take a therapeutic perspective and talk about different problems we tend to run into when working at a desk or computer such as shoulder and neck tension, headaches, back pain and wrist problems. And, of course, I’ll give many suggestions of how yoga can help you find relief and freedom if you’re experiencing any of these very common issues.

Deeper Into The Mystery: Anusara Yoga With John Friend

Beauty-SkyThe magical light of Santa Fe was a constant companion as I went on retreat with Anusara® yoga founder, John Friend. The light from the sun, the sparkling blue sky, the radiant trees, the clear starry night; it was a truly illuminated experience.

Technically the event I attended was an Advanced Therapeutics training and Weekend Workshop. But I’ll call it a retreat because I stayed on campus, and wow did it feel like a complete shift from everyday life.
