<div>Friday Night, 7-8pm: TRAP Yoga</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Bounce, flow, sweat, release!<br />Trap yoga is a style of yoga class that combines a physical yoga practice with trap music, a type of hip-hop that originated in the South. Trap yoga was created to provide a welcoming environment for those who might feel uncomfortable in the silence of a traditional class and those who want to have FUN as they flow! Trap yoga is designed to empower yogis and promote wellness. Although Trap yoga has increased participation by men, women enjoy the class as well! Every person and every level is welcome! Please be advised, this class will contain explicit lyrics!</div>

<div>Saturday, 10:30-12:30 Backbend Elixir- The keys to going deeper with safe and healthy backbends. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Backbends are an amazing way to awaken your heart while stoking your inner fire and lengthening your entire body. But they are so much more than bending your spine! In this workshop, we’ll learn the basics of safe and healthy back-bending and explore the tools needed to go DEEPER. We’ll start by heating the vertebral column and its surrounding musculature and examining common backbends. While in these more ‘simple’ backbends, we’ll explore common misconceptions of this class of poses and learn what each trying to teach us and our bodies. Next will dive deeper into floor, standing, and inverted backbends as well as explore full shoulder revolved aka ‘flip the grip’ backbends. Come ready to learn to be strong, yet supple and you’ll leave this workshop with all the tools you need to be bendy! </div>

<div>Saturday 2-4: Handstand Elixir</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Finding balance on your hands is a multi-faceted affair. There are so many moving parts involved in finding success! In this unique workshop, we will focus on three major parts of a successful handstand: strength, flexibility, and endurance. Taken alone, each of these fundamentals may allow you to kick up and pause, but you’ll need all THREE to kick up and STAY up. Along with the importance of strength, flexibility, and endurance, you’ll learn several drills and techniques that will help you build your solid handstand foundation. You’ll also learn several entry methods that you can incorporate into your practice on a daily basis. This workshop is for handstand lovers of all levels and will provide time for some one-on-one instruction for each attendee. If you can comfortably hold a solid down dog, you’re ready for Handstand Elixir!</div>

<div>Nicole's Bio</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<p>I believe that teaching yoga is so much more than calling out poses. It's the establishment of a spiritual and emotional connection between teacher and student. Every time I am with a group of students, my ultimate goal is to create an all-around yoga experience that will be remembered. From carefully crafted and engaging playlists to intelligent sequencing and positive affirmations, the experience you'll receive will be like no other.</p>
<p>I have always been a passionate athlete… From playing basketball and running track in high school in Texas, to being a scholarship hurdler at Texas Tech University. I first found yoga in 2010 as a way to relieve chronic back and neck pain. From the time I walked into my first vinyasa class, I was obsessed with the emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects of this practice. I am a practitioner of Ashtanga yoga and Vinyasa flow and have trained with Tiffany Cruikshank, Kino McGregor, Kathryn Budig, and Kerri Verna.</p>
<p>I received my 200-hour teacher certification from Karmany Yoga-Dallas (Dallas’ #1 yoga studio, as voted by D Magazine) with Amy Johnson and Jayme Bushmiaer. In addition to teaching yoga, I am a Lululemon Summit Ambassador and hold a Doctorate degree in molecular biology. I’m also a social media influencer, an avid half-marathoner, and a passionate world-traveler.</p>
