Inversions offer us the opportunity to explore our edges and push the boundaries of courage and comfort. They invite us to find new perspectives and take leaps of faith, while at the same time inspire patience, cultivate strength, and find balance. Inevitably, going upside down teaches us about falling and getting up and going for it all over again.

In this 4-week series you will learn inversion basics along with safe ways in and out of the postures. We will explore the benefits of the different inversion families and how to weave them into your practice. Each week will have a different focus and will build on the previous class.

Week 1: Headstand, Forearm stand, Dolphin
Week 2: Handstand
Week 3: Wheel, Bridge, Shoulder Stand
Week 4: Inversion Flow

Classes will begin with a short discussion, have ample time to play, and will finish with a meditation on the energetics of the practice and taking your experience off your mat and into your life.

We are keeping the group small to ensure personal attention - so sign up soon to reserve your spot!

Fall equinox is a time when the light and dark come back into balance with each other. This is a potent time for setting new intentions, releasing what is no longer needed and stepping back into harmony with nature. Take the teachings of balance from the universe as it is always dancing in apparent opposites - movement & stillness; day & night; masculine & feminine - it is our capacity to move between these dynamic pairs that allow us to slip into our own innate rhythm.

Let’s play together with a Yin/Yang practice that will involve a combination of flow and stillness, sound and silence, effort and ease. Through sound, breathing and intentional movements – move back into balance physically, mentally, emotionally.

Join Lea and Dana in this 4 week mini-series to release and awaken the Psoas (pronounced so-as). 

The psoas is a deep postural muscle that is, in some way or another, involved in nearly every move you make.  It is located deep in the abdominals, attaches your spine to your leg, stabilizes the pelvis, and flexes the hip. 

It is very common to have long standing tension in this area.  It can be the root cause of low back pain, pelvic instability & weakness, and feelings of anxiousness.

Through a series of guided meditations, breathing exercises, and focused hip work, connect to a healthy, strong, and mobile psoas. You will leave standing taller, walking differently, and with a sense of ease and balance in both the hips and the mind.

Dates: Monday's October 15, 22, 29, Nov. 5th
