Do you experience neck pain, frequent headaches, or upper back stiffness from sitting too much? More and more of us are working at odd work-at-home set ups and increasing computer time and technology use (endless Zoom meetings, anyone?), and experiencing pandemic worry on top of daily stressors in our busy world. All of these factors can lead to increased pain and stiffness.
Join physical therapist, Ellese Nickles, PT, DPT, RYT, to learn evidence based strategies for how yoga can help relieve neck and upper back pain. This workshop will move through a therapeutic yoga sequence on specific goals of increasing mobility, improving postural alignment, reducing pain and relieving tension. Participants will learn easy exercises, myofascial release and relaxation techniques to help manage chronic neck pain and relieve upper back tension.

Whether you’re six days postpartum or six years, this is the workshop for you! Post-pregnancy, the abdominal muscles, hips, and pelvic floor can benefit from integrative poses and movements to get rocking again.
We’ll discuss the changes your abs and hips have undertaken, and then we’ll move through a series of useful core-engagement activities and hip strengtheners to reawaken the ability of your body. And if you have tight and tired shoulders, you'll learn ways to find relief.
You’ll leave with a handout of movements you can do on your own at home to continue your strengthening journey and feeling a bit more like the old you!

Are you ready for a makeover? In this weekend, we will work together to give your teaching language a glow-up—not plastic surgery! We are looking to enhance the good and buff the rough edges, not to reconstruct you into a cookie cutter automaton. Our work together will burn off any excessive, vague language and polish your words to a bright shine, so you can most clearly deliver yoga's benefits to your students.
This workshop includes detailed self-assessment assignments to complete before we meet, so please budget at least four hours to prepare your homework in the weeks before the workshop.
Our in-person sessions will:
+ Create a safe space for self-improvement
+ Investigate the kind of feedback we get as yoga teachers
+ Explore how to give and receive critique effectively
+ Practice cueing movement in ways to suit all learning
styles
+ Include exercises to reveal our individual habits of verbal and
nonverbal communication
+ Prompt you to decide what's already working well and what could
be done differently
+ Support you with concrete suggestions for how to be the clearest
communicator you can be
+ Set goals for you to level up your teaching language to help your
students better
Enjoy one hour of pure bliss through the healing power of sound. Christine will lead you through the healing process of sound by playing her singing bowls. Each bowl is calibrated to align with a specific energy of the body. You will choose to lie down or sit to experience the healing art of singing bowls. Sound is vibration, and crystal bowls have the capacity to heal by mirroring the vibrations in your body. At times, the sound may be quiet or loud. It is like an experiential journey of sound through the body. Expect to leave relaxed, refreshed, and open.

Whether it’s taught online or in
person, a well-themed yoga class uplifts students and shows them
the true connection to heart that yoga offers. But it can be tough
to know where to start, and inspiration takes work. Join Sage
Rountree, E-RYT500, and Alexandra DeSiato, E-RYT500, authors of
Teaching Yoga Beyond the Poses, for this workshop.
In this enhanced in-person workshop, you'll learn to integrate
themes, ideas, and inspiration into your class to help your
students feel more connected. Whether you’re a new teacher who now
feels comfortable with poses and is ready to weave in more, or an
experienced teacher who feels like your classes have hit the
doldrums, you’ll get all you need to uplift your students in both
video and in-person classes.
This unique format includes both self-paced preparation, live
meetings, and continued mentorship after the weekend
workshop.
A month before the workshop, you’ll gain access to an online course
that lays the groundwork for the work we will do in person. Please
budget at least four hours to prepare your homework in the weeks
before the workshop.
Then we meet in person at Carrboro Yoga Company Saturday,
March 26, 10 a.m.–5 p.m., and Sunday, March 27, 10 a.m.–1
p.m. (There is no Sunday afternoon session, freeing you to
travel.) If you're coming from out of town, our Travel
Accommodations page has suggestions.
In short lectures, full group
discussion, led movement, journaling, and small-group exercises, we
will explore mindful themes to elevate any class for every student
in a way that feels individually authentic. You’ll leave with a
host of ideas that will keep you and your students inspired every
day.
The experience continues as you develop themes on your own and
share with the group, with Alexandra, and with Sage, to get
continued feedback and suggestions for more ways to elevate your
classes.
Required reading: Sage Rountree and Alexandra DeSiato, Teaching
Yoga Beyond the Poses. Please purchase this book on your own
in your preferred format. Paperback, e-book, and audiobook editions
are available.
This is a required module for
Carolina Yoga Company's advanced studies teacher training; it
is also open to everyone. You'll get the most benefit if you've
been regularly teaching for at least a year. If that doesn't
describe you but you are still eager to take the workshop, please contact
Sage to discuss your unique situation and determine whether
this is the right fit for you.
Currently, proof of vaccination
against COVID-19 is required to enter the studios.
