As teachers, our job is to provide a safe container for our students to explore asana postures and find themselves within the practice. While our vocal cues can be wonderful invitations, sometimes a gentle touch (with consent!) can help a student bring attention to a particular area to soften or engage. This can help the student to increase their proprioception and interoception, which in turn can greatly enhance their overall experience of the practice and even help prevent injury.
This immersive workshop experience is not about physically manipulating students into impossible shapes or to make them “go deeper”, but rather to learn the appropriate ways of touch in specific asana shapes to help students create a greater overall awareness of what their body is doing and where it is going.
You will learn how to:
Ensure you are getting clear and explicit consent before touch
Initiate the foundational skill of “reading” bodies
How to effectively use your vocal cues first
How to use passive assists that are corrective, supportive, and directional for a wide range of poses.
How to use a mindful and skillful touch appropriately in different asana for different effects
CEUs available for yoga teachers

Yoga for Chronic Stress and Tension - Wednesday Workshop Series
Wednesdays, April 2, 16, 30 and May 14
7:00-8:30 pm
Location: The Yoga Tree, 4250 Fremont Ave. N
Registration: $115 for the series; https://www.yogatree.com/workshopsretreats.html
Is your body tight with knots? Does life leave you feeling constricted? Or the weight of stress cause you to feel exhausted? Are your neck, mid-back and hips routinely stiff and achey?
Release stress, release tension and ignite vitality with the play of yoga, also known as, lila.
Or as George Bernard Shaw put it, “You don’t stop playing because you get old. You get old because you stop playing.”
We can feel old when life feels hard and our being: connective tissue, immune, circulatory, cardiovascular, cognitive and nervous systems aren’t well due to chronic stress and tension.
In this lila (play of yoga) series, you’ll:
Use non-linear and dynamic movements to boost fascia fluidity and lymphatic drainage
Experiment with sound and vibration to unlock physical gripping and mental holding
Tap into imagination and visualization to build resiliency in body, mind and spirit connections to alleviate suffering
Learn new and small practices to regularly spark your systems with aliveness and your wellbeing with lila, the play of yoga, and live daily life with more ease!
There is no previous yoga experience necessary. You are enough. Showing up is enough. All practices are an invitation, nothing is required and you can participate as you choose. There are props and adaptations available, always. This is a therapeutic series with a short intake to complete and return prior to the first session. There will be a brief check-in at each session.
Functional breathing can change everything and the diaphragm dome is home for your health.
Get into the zone to develop a harmonious relationship between your breath, body, cognition, nervous system, emotional regulation and overall wellbeing.
