Practice, Learn + Transform with Jimmy Barkan We are incredibly excited to welcome Jimmy Barkan, founder of The Barkan Method Hot Yoga, to Rising Om Yoga for a very special three-day weekend of practice, learning, and inspiration. The Barkan Method blends the structure and discipline of traditional hot yoga with the creativity and flow of vinyasa, creating a practice that is both powerful and deeply transformative. Jimmy brings decades of experience, knowledge, and passion to the room, making this a rare opportunity to learn and practice directly with the creator of the method. Rising Om's owner, Brittani, also did her original yoga certification with Jimmy--so our roots are deeply connected! Over the course of the weekend, Jimmy will lead three immersive 3-hour Master Classes, giving students and teachers the opportunity to go beyond an everyday class experience. Expect an energizing combination of practice, deeper exploration of postures and alignment, technique, philosophy, and the heart behind The Barkan Method.
