This workshop is for current Yoga teachers and teachers-in-training who would like to learn methods and techniques for intellegent sequencing in an āsana practice.

We will consider philosophical, holistic, and trauma-informed approaches to teaching, while prioritizing physical safety and healthful alignment. Learn practical tools for creating well-rounded āsana sequences, such as the apex method, the nine categories of āsana, and the art of vinyasa. Practice employing these methods with your peers.

Understand why students attend your classes in order to create something unique tailored to their needs and keep them coming back. Find your authentic voice and speak to your community! Remember, Yoga is for everyone!

$25 per person. Free for YTT students.

Standing your Ground: Stability and Mobility through Standing Poses with Karen Allgire

• Study and chant selected Yoga Sutras
• Practice āsanas with depth and clarity
• Learn how to work with structural challenges

The standing poses are our foundation in āsana practice. Standing poses help us feel grounded, competent and confident.

In this workshop, you will learn how the standing poses bring both freedom of movement, and balance and stability. We will also examine how standing asanas relate to and enhance other categories of poses such as forward extensions, twists and backbends.

Along the way, Karen will also share ideas about how to work with common physical problems that we encounter in āsana practice.

Cost: $55. Pre-registration requested

In a world where women are often encouraged to suppress their natural cycles and emotions, Red Tent Women's Circle gatherings provide a safe space where they can be better understood and celebrated.

By coming together to discuss topics that are so often off-the-table, these gatherings become a symbol of acceptance and fellowship. There is wisdom available in all seasons of a woman’s life. The Red Tent community honors the Maiden, Mother and Crone by welcoming all ages. Bring your mother, your daughter, your sister, your friend, or find them in this Circle of Sistars. $22 per person.
