During this two hour workshop, Roberta will guide you into the ultimate hip openers while exploring variations of traditional asana that engage the muscles of the feet and legs in a unique way. Using props and longer holds in standing poses, this class will have your muscles feeling like you “worked out,” while your mind feels restored and rejuvenated. With asana designed to target deep connective tissues to improve total body energy flow, we will systematically release muscle groups in the feet, ankles, knees, groins, and hips. The workshop closes with sophisticated pranayama that will prepare the mind for meditation. Each person comes to meditation in a very unique way, and we will take time to explore and practice several paths.

What to expect:

• Standing asana with longer holds, assisted with props

• Intentional breath to clear energetic blockages in the body

• Optional meditation techniques to help you find your deepest focus

New for this workshop!.. Invite all those friends & family who wonder just what you DO in that yoga studio to come in quietly for the last 20-30 minutes (around 2:30/2:45 pm) of Savasana and a quiet meditation. They can then stay to ask questions and hear your thoughts about your yoga practice while enjoying tea and a few crackers until 3:30. Option to even BYO wine! 

Roberta will offer variations for those that would like to be gentler on their knees. While you will feel restored afterwards, this is not a restorative class - there are standing poses that will utilize muscle engagement and endurance.

 After 9/10: Members $35, Reg. $40

Feel free to bring your own props or use the studio's. Wear comfortable clothing for movement.

3-3:30 BYO friends & beverage of choice and relax with us.
