WORKSHOPS
A Healthy Pelvic Floor: MELT & Yoga
It makes so much sense to hydrate the connective tissue around the pelvic floor and use MELT as a preparation or practice for our further pelvic floor work. That's why Leah and Tina now offer this new workshop where we combine what we both do best.
THE PELVIC FLOOR Awareness, Strength & Healing
A topic not commonly spoken of but that is of the utmost importance for every person’s daily routine, physical health, mental and emotional well being. Healthy pelvic floor muscles are required to support our inner organs by being strong and contractile, as well as being able to fully open, release and relax. In this workshop we will
introduce ways to bring awareness to the body, identify what the pelvic floor is, and feel that structure in relation to the rest of the body in stillness and motion and in close correlation with the breath. We will learn the importance of correct alignment to facilitate the healing of pelvic floor dysfunctions and will address the issues of pelvic pain, bladder control, and prolapse.
THE KOSHAS 5 layers of being
A fully rounded practice with meditation, breath work, yoga philosophy and a physical practice suitable for all levels. A deep dive inwards inspired by the 5 koshas - 5 energetic layers of our body, will assist students in enhancing and deepening their yoga practice.
"Eye, ear, mind, tongue, and touch; skin, flesh, muscle, Marrow, and skeleton; and the five Vital forces constitute the body. The sage contemplating these sets of five, Discovered that everything is holy." (Taittiriya Upanishad, 6th century BC)
befriend your Pelvic Floor
In this workshop you will learn ways to bring awareness to your body, identify what the pelvic floor is, and feel it in stillness and motion and in close correlation to the breath.
מודעות וחיבור לרצפת האגן
הכרות מעמיקה עם שרירי רצפת האגן מאפשרת הבנה טובה יותר של גופנו, העצמה תחושתית, תפקוד וריפוי.
שרירי רצפת אגן בריאים מסוגלים להתכווץ אך גם להרפות, שואפים להיות חזקים אך גם רכים וגמישים.
בסדנא זו נחקור תווך שרירי זה ונתמקד על הגברת המודעות בעזרת תנועות איטיות ומדויקות ונשימה מכוונת. גישה הוליסטית ומאוזנת מאפשרת לכל תלמיד לחוות את גופו ברמה המתאימה לו ומעודדת הקשבה פנימית. במהלך האימון נתחיל מקשב פנימי ועבודה נשימתית ונתקדם לאימון בזרימה מתוך מודעות לקורה בבסיס האגן.

OPENING THE HEART: NARADA BHAKTI SUTRAS & BACKBENDS
Bhakti is unconditional love for something unseen, unknown, and mysterious, and therefore broad, open and endless.
Narada Bhakti Sutras speak of devotion and divine love.
This workshop will include the exploration of this beautiful text paired with heart opening postures and leading into deep backbends. Warm ups will include deep core work and learning of stabilization to support the safe practice of backbends, as well as Pranayama practices around the heart.

Book Signing Event
FREE EVENT ~
Please drop in and join us for refreshments, conversation and to purchase your signed copy of my newly self-published book Yoga for Pelvic Health: A Whole-Body Approach to Strengthening & Healing (or bring your own copy to be signed). I'd love to catch up, hear how you are doing, answer questions and see everyones beautiful faces. The two hour window is meant to allow us avoiding becoming a "crowd". The doors and air-fans will be open and on, and if you prefer to drive-by and stay in your car while I come out to wave and blow kisses and sign a book from the distance, that is okay too.
ALL ARE WELCOME!
Please do RSVP to either Pat Gregory (our gracious host!) or myself, so we we know what to plan for.
Love from Nerada Bhakti Sutra
Bhakti is unconditional love for something unseen, unknown, and mysterious, and therefore broad, open and endless.

The Pelvic Floor: Strengthening & Healing (ONLINE)
This workshop is special! It is the first workshop I’m holding since publishing my book in Nov 2021. Join me for reading, reflections, Q&A, and of course - practice.
It is remarkable how little most of us know about a part of the body that is responsible for so much, from daily healthy function, general well being, alignment and pleasure. How to engage the pelvic floor properly? How to use it as an organic part of the core system? How to deeply release and relax those often overly tight muscles?
Join this three hour workshop to connect to this underestimated part of your body. Expect to learn more about the anatomy, look within, breath and move - strengthening, stabilizing and stretching. There will be time for reflection and questions. ALL are welcome.
Safety and stability in arm balances: Courage to balance & fall
In this workshop we'll focus on learning to organize our alignment, recrute the core and find stability and softness through our upper body, so that we may find balance in arm balances, particularly forearm balance (Pincha Mayurasana). We will also learn how to safely fall from the postures so that we may find more courage rooted in awareness, in our practice.
