"The happiest people spend much time in a state of flow- the state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience itself is so enjoyable that people will do it even at a great cost, for the sheet sake of doing it." -Mihaly Csiksgentmihalyi

Casual CrossFit Yoga: are you a CrossFitter (or SWIFTer?) who's looking for some stretching, mindfulness and breathing without the intimidation and woo woo shiz? Then this is the class for you. This class will be casual, incorporating traditional yoga techniques and postures with contemporary mobility modalities such as lacrosse balls and foam rollers. Use this class on your rest days and to increase range of motion, focus and recovery.

Thoughtful adjustments and hands on assists are an important and rapidly disappearing skill when it comes to the yoga room these days. The pendulum has swung from the days of sitting on the kurmasana of a student in order to flatten them out, to attempts at guiding through only words. This workshop will give both experienced teachers and those newer to the front of the room, the format to turn any shape into an opportunity for deep physical and energetic dialogue. We will discuss the ground rules of adjusting, how to set and work from clear intention, how to see the bodies in front of you and unpack what you can do to be of service, and even explore some of classic and funky adjustments to add to your tool box. Come with or without a person to adjust and a willingness to get down to it. Expect lots of hands on work, and communicating with old and new friends alike.
