This all-levels, 2.5hr Immersion Workshop is a synergy of Hatha & Daoist yoga designed to awaken the flow of Life Force through a gentle, mesmerizing, moving meditation.  

Daoist yoga can be defined as an expression of standing Yin yoga where the art of effortless power is discovered through calming, rhythmic flows combining breath with movement.  

The Magic of Dragons is inspired by the teachings of Paul & Suzee Grilley & yin yoga sensei Bernie Clark.  This ‘Dragon Fuego Flow’ is an exploration of Qi through various Daoist and Hatha dragon-inspired flows & stretches. Supported by mellow and uplifting backbeats, this is the perfect opportunity to experience the sparkle of Qi and give your mind, body and soul some much-deserved ZEN.

In this time together we create a safe space for us to unravel the tight binds of who we ‘should’ be as women and share in the experience of who we truly are. From teenage girls, lady bosses, mothers, wives, students, together we dismantle the idea of what a woman is supposed to be and together we discover who we are. How do the ancient practices of yoga inform who we are today given the present political climate, the day and age of social media and the era of “doing it all.”

This session includes introspective writing activities, raw and open led discussions,
and movement practices that support the female cycle, help balance hormones and
moods while tapping us into our innately feminine power.

One’s daily practice should have all the aspects of yoga sadhana including asana, pranayama and meditation. In this program you will learn to develop a suitable combination of the various aspects of yoga. Short Lecture on the teachings of Krisnamacharya as well as classical Vinyasa asana sequences will be practiced.

Together we will learn simple practices to come home to ourselves in every moment, regardless of the situation.

Your brain is a powerful tool -- When you understand how it works, you can take advantage of its superpowers to live the life that you want. In this workshop, you will learn how, biologically, our thoughts create our emotions and how our emotions create our perspective. Once you understand the science of the brain, you can leverage its processes to create the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that you want to have. This workshop will start with a fun science lesson, and then I will guide you through a meditation and visualization exercise that you can practice every morning to use your brain as the powerful tool of creation that it is.
