We live high stress lives, causing us to build protective layers
around our hearts to cover our vulnerabilities. By becoming more
centered, we cultivate self-worth. The magnetism that radiates
allows us to relate to one another from a space of compassion and
love.
During this Kundalini practice, we'll explore the facets of the
heart, creating the internal life force conditions that give rise
to the experience of Supreme Love; and work with dynamic heart
opening kriyas and explore energies of the Heart Chakra through
Pranayama, Mantra and Meditation to release the old patterns and
invite in a sense of peace as we connect with our true essence.

Designated for a particular group
Da Lab is my kitchen is and it is where I develop healthy, nutritious and delicious meals for my family and friends. I am now inviting you to join me!
This event is perfect for first timers to yoga but is challenging enough to give even the most practiced yogis a challenging session. Our instructors modify each movement to accommodate all fitness levels. Participants begin with a Vinyasa Flow Yoga class and end with a glass (or two!) of wine. We’ll breathe, balance, connect and even laugh a little — priming ourselves for our post-yoga social hour.

This hatha-vinyasa flow is designed to get your body warmed up and out of hibernation mode with the chillest of playlists that you won't want to miss.
This workshop weekend is for movement educators as well as the general public.
It includes four workshops taught over the course of two days and will include the exercises and sequences from Trina’s new book, Yoga Deconstructed®: Transitioning from rehabilitation back into the yoga studio. Participants may sign up for one or all of the workshops. However, it is highly recommended that you attend the first three workshops in preparation for the fourth one.
All four workshops are all-levels and qualify for Yoga Alliance CEC’s.
Workshop 1: Incorporating Somatics and Rolling Patterns
in Classes
Saturday, January 23rd, 12:30–3:30p
Somatic exercises serve as regressions for traditional yoga poses and allow us to teach osteokinematics in a way that is embodied and down regulates the nervous system. This workshop will teach you how to select and sequence somatic exercises in supine, side lying, and prone to help your students improve movement patterns and prepare their bodies to navigate external load and asana.
You will learn how to:
- Incorporate somatic exercises into different styles of yoga classes, such as vinyasa and hatha.
- Create mini sequences that include non-linear movement in the transverse plane and rolling patterns that transition from lying down to seated.
- Prepare the body for seated, kneeling, and standing poses.
- Use feedback from the ground to improve proprioception for students who are hypermobile, experience joint discomfort, or struggle to sense where their joints are in space.
- Reduce feelings of stiffness or tightness through neuromuscular re-education.
Workshop 2: Using Primal
Sequencing to Evolve Passive Postures into Active
Movements
Saturday, January 23rd,
4:30–7:30p
Traditional asana involves many passive kneeling and seated positions. While this alone is not an issue, many of our students are not well adapted to sit on the floor and find it difficult or uncomfortable to assume these postures and transition to kneeling or standing. This workshop will give you strategies and mini sequences to incorporate into your classes to improve mobility, strength, and power in a way that is fun and challenging!
Learn how to:
- Use primal movement to reestablish better motor patterns by incorporating exercises that move through the early motor development stage.
- Flow together primal postures that relate to classical yoga asanas, including Sukhasana, Virasana, Ardha Matsyendrasana... and more!
- Use mobility drills and preparatory exercises to self assess for joint limitations and prepare the body for loading in end ranges of motion.
- Utilize bands, blankets, and blocks to adapt traditional kneeling and seated poses from passive to active ranges of motion.
- Incorporate animal locomotion movements, such as beast pose and gorilla hops into your classes.
Workshop 3: Applying Progressive Load and Control to
Standing Transitions
Sunday, January 24th,
12:30–3:30p
Many standing poses involve holding one position at your end range of motion for a sustained period of time. While this may promote isometric strength at your end range, it doesn’t build strength in the transitions. This workshop will explore how to apply strength training principles, such as progressive overload to standing poses and transitions.
This workshop will teach you:
- How to prepare the body to transition through common vinyasa sequences, such as Warrior 2, Extended Side Angle Pose, and Half Moon with fluidity, stability, and ease.
- Preparatory exercises using resistance bands, cork blocks, and blankets as external load to build strength in standing transitions.
- Strategies to improve control and coordination in single leg balance movements.
Workshop 4: An Interdisciplinary Movement Approach to
Yoga Sequencing
Sunday, January 24th,
4:30–7:30p
Are you struggling to connect the dots between yoga and all of the movement modalities that you’re studying? This workshop will teach you how to incorporate everything you’ve learned in the previous three workshops into full length classes. It will draw on the sequences outlined in my book Yoga Deconstructed®: Transitioning from rehabilitation back into yoga studio.
During this workshop, we will also create sequences as a group and you will have the opportunity to collaborate with other teachers to create and practice teaching your own sequences.
Learn how to:
- Develop your critical thinking skills for sequencing your classes and private sessions.
- Expand your problem solving abilities when creating sequences and planning classes.
- Teach from a skills-based approach that prepares your students for asana and real life.
- Incorporate progressions and regressions to meet the different levels of the students in the room.
*Please note: it is highly recommended that you attend the first three workshops in preparation for this one.
WOMEN'S LIFE ATHLETE RETREAT
March 12-14, 2021
Lake Anna, Virgina
The CSA Life Athlete program, all-inclusive, women-only retreat is a unique opportunity to spend an intensive weekend with other women just like you; immersed in the lifestyle and psychology of successful people everywhere. This one of a kind experience will expedite your knowledge of the critical components of the mind, body and spirit relationship. Upon completion, we hope to have you feeling like an athlete in all areas of your life; truly becoming a Life Athlete.
The CSA women’s weekend Life Athlete retreat is limited to only 14 participants. Those participating will be a part of a one of a kind, ground-breaking, all-inclusive, opportunity to surround yourself with other like-minded women. There is currently no other program like it, focused solely on the empowerment of female athletes of all experience levels.
Are there areas in your life you believe are negatively impacting your ability to be the best possible YOU? Ex: Stress, time management, money management, negative self-image, etc. Together with the CSA coaches and other women, you’ll learn how to discover your true ‘Why’ and how we tell ‘stories’ about, and to ourselves, when our actions don’t align with who we think we are or want to be. We’ll teach you how to implement tools and strategies (utilized by sports psychologists, behavioral therapists and successful humans everywhere) to ensure you can overcome even the toughest barriers; while learning how to achieve the flexibility and mental fortitude necessary to tackle anything life may throw at you.
This immersion weekend will allow you to work as a team and in one-on-one settings with CSA coaches. It is uniquely designed to give you the strongest foundation for your pursuit and goals; whether that be the competition stage, general wellness/fitness, or in other areas of your life. We believe that the knowledge you gain, coupled with the work you put in, will give you a unique perspective and advantage to set you on the path to success in all areas of your life.
The ultimate goal of the CSA weekend/program is to train your mind, body and spirit in such a way that you begin to see yourself as an athlete where the lifestyle becomes an integral part of who you are.
Tadasana is the foundation pose of most yoga practices. But how well do you see yourself in Tadasana?
How well do you see yourself as you go about your day?
This workshop will change the way you perceive and feel your body in space. Making simple changes to the way you stand in yoga and in life has a profound effect on your daily life, pain issues and athletic performance.
Saturday, April 17th, 1–4p: Yoga For Hips And Balance
Initiating movement from the core of the body is essential to moving well, healing successfully, and aging gracefully. To do that, we need good tone for all of the muscles in and around the pelvis for strength and balance and fluidity.
This workshop focuses on the pelvic muscles that facilitate balance and healthy movement patterns.
The psoas is the most important muscle in the body, acting as the main hip flexor and the engine of walking. A free and happy psoas allows the body to move with peak efficiency and little strain. Issues with the psoas can lead to any number of problems throughout your body—both physical and emotional. Lower back pain and other joint discomfort as well as disturbances to the nervous system can be linked to the psoas.
This is not a yoga class. You will spend the afternoon awakening, learning about, and releasing the psoas and understanding its core function within the body.
Sunday, April 18th, 1–4p: Yoga for Strength and Stability
Moving from the core requires balanced muscle tone and fluid joints, and in this class you will breathe, focus, move, stretch, and balance to create a more solid center. Core abdominal tone improves nearly every pose, allowing us to move with purpose and ease. Strength built on the mat informs your life when you step off of the mat, allowing you to live work and play to your fullest.
This workshop focuses on building a solid center from which healthy movement patterns originate.
Sunday, April 18th, 5–8p: What Is CoreWalking? (And Why Do I Need it?)
The CoreWalking Program provides pain relief, healing, and techniques for aging gracefully. Using simple adjustments to the way you walk, stand, sit, and exercise—CoreWalking can have life-changing results. It offers specific bodywork tools that you can easily integrate into your daily routine to reverse whatever has been holding you back from your fullest life.
