Chaturanga Workshop
With Brittany Hopkins Switlick
Do you have pain in your wrists/shoulder/lower back in chaturanga/low plank pose?
Do you think you aren’t strong enough for chaturanga/low plank?
Do you think chaturanga/low plank pose is easy peasy and you’ve got it down perfectly already?
Do you love learning about your body and how it works in yoga poses?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this workshop is for you. It will be led by Brittany Hopkins Switlick, an E-RYT 500 Yoga Alliance accredited yoga teacher and training facilitator. Whether you are newer to yoga or are a seasoned practitioner, this workshop will have you feeling empowered to learn how to safely align your body in CHATURANGA: which muscles to activate, & how to build up to an even stronger Low Plank Pose.
And if you are curious about the upcoming 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training, this workshop will give you a taste of what a program like that looks/feels like.

Winter Solstice Full Moon Restorative Yoga & Sound Healing

This workshop opens with a fire ceremony followed by a gentle dynamic movement section to prepare the body for a relaxing 75-min restorative practice. Gentle sounds will be played on crystal bowls, rattles, tuning forks, drums, and a gong.
Harmony Circle
With Alexander Lisman
In the Harmony Circle, all genders are invited to sit together and drink cacao as we focus on an intention for the night. This can be simple (like "clarity" or "peace") or something more specific ("I'd like to learn how to better show up in my relationship" or "Why am I self-sabotaging in [insert aspect of your life here]."). Then we partake in a tabacco-based ceremonial plant medicine that helps us receive answers to our intention—or takes us in a totally different direction based on our inner need. Some choose to abstain from this medicine and instead hold space for others going through their process, which is a profound experience in and of itself. For those feeling called to share, we share our insights and learn from each other. Then we lay down for breath work, receive additional insight, and share again if we're called.
We suggest comfy clothes and a water bottle. Other than that, just come up with a desire to show up for yourself.
