Our feet serve as the cornerstone of our daily movements, bearing the weight of our bodies and facilitating motion. Unfortunately, many of us face challenges with foot health, stemming from issues like bio-mechanical imbalances, excess weight, or the prolonged use of improper footwear.  Amir's yoga therapeutics can make a significant impact by addressing limitations and promoting alignment, flexibility, and strength in the feet.

Join us for an immersive journey into the world of Indian classical music. The first half of this workshop will explore the history, emotional depth, and intricate techniques of the sarod. In the second half, students will be guided through a restorative yoga practice led by Dena Jensen, supported by live, deeply relaxing acoustic music designed to foster a profound state of rest.

Autumn invites us to slow down, savor what is full, and gently let go. This half-day retreat blends Reiki relaxation, sound bathing, and supportive silence to help you reconnect with your energy and find greater calm and balance. No experience is needed. We’ll provide mats, props, tea, healthy snacks, and Marjorie’s famous gluten-free cookies. Just bring yourself and a willingness to move with the season.

Autumn brings shorter days, crisper air, changing colors, and falling leaves in the natural world. Our lives don’t always follow this beautiful example of slowing down, turning inward, releasing what we no longer need, and planting roots to rest and recover. This sound experience will use larger gongs and deep vibrations, accented by sounds of autumn, to calm the mind, rest the body, and invite a deeper state of relaxation—with the added benefit of resting together in community.

Build on the foundations of Vinyasa 101 in this supportive workshop designed to deepen confidence and understanding. After a brief review of Sun Salutations A and B, we’ll focus on standing postures, folds, balance, backbends, and the closing series. Explore how breath and movement connect, refine common transitions, and discover options that support your body. Ideal for students with some familiarity with vinyasa who want to strengthen their practice overall.
