We are taking a break, staying safe at home, but we have many workshops and classes planned for this Fall and Winter (Hopefully)!
See below for examples of some of our past workshops.
Dynamics of Balance
There are many definitions to the word balance. The dictionary definition is, "The state of having your weight spread equally so you do not fall, the ability to move or to remain in a position without losing control or falling."
For those of us who practice yoga, balance is finding a stable body, a quiet mind and a calm spirit. Dynamics of Balance is a workshop that will supply you with the tools and techniques to find that stability, that equilibrium and to take it home to practice in your daily life.
So come, join us. Find your personal balance point and learn how to put it to use. It will be a fun, relaxing yet challenging afternoon spent with other members of the Rishi yoga community.

Pranayama
The word "Pranayama" in Sanskrit means "to expand your life force". Our life force lives in our breath, and so as we expand our breath, we expand our life force.
In the Pranayama workshop you will be taught proper diaphragmatic breathing techniques allowing maximum oxygenation of the brain and every cell of the body. You will enjoy learning breathing exercises to aid in your relaxation, to enhance the quality of your sleep, to help regulate your appetite and to aid in releasing depression.
So come, join us for an afternoon that can change the way you great your day!

Understanding and Developing Warrior Poses - Virabhadrasana
Our workshop will be so much more than an asana practice of Warrior Poses. We will discuss the muscles used to build a dynamic warrior pose and you will be given handouts so you have a visual. You will receive detailed steps to build your personal poses based on your individual abilities.
The workshop will be an asana practice of a warrior vinyasa with our observations and comments to give you a sound understanding of your foundation and form and where you might make alterations to receive greater benefit.
Whether you are a yoga student or a yoga teacher, this warrior workshop will help you understand and grow in your personal warrior experience.

Chakra Meditation & Tara Yoga
Wow, we had such a great time at the workshop. Please see the gallery for photo's of the Tara Yoga. See below for information on this workshop, we will definitely plan another Chakra Meditation & Tara Yoga in the future!
The workshop will begin with a 1/2 hour Chakra Meditation, followed by a Tara class and a Savasana that is the definition of Savasana.
What is Tara Yoga? Tara Yoga is a flowing Vinyasa Yoga practice, linking breath to movement guided by rhythmic drums. It is a beautiful, exhilarating class where the yogi’s and yogini’s are moving in sync with each other as one unit.
Our Savasana will be a deep restorative asana that allows the practitioner to fully absorb the benefits of the Yoga practice.

Advanced Asana Practice
In this class we will study advanced asanas. These asanas will be examined individually and will be considered our pinnacle pose. We will discuss the muscles and joints targeted in the asana and which poses to practice to warm up for the pinnacle asana. We will enter into the pinnacle asana from level 1, advancing to level 2, level 3, ultimately reaching the full expression of the asana. Each class will last 3 hours. That time will be spent in warm up for the pinnacle asana, discussion and practice of the pinnacle asana and variations of the pinnacle asana.
We will be changing the pinnacle asana every time we present our “Advanced Asana Practice” class. With a thorough understanding of each asana presented you can add these asanas to your teaching or your home practice.
Our first class was held on January 27th, 2018
We featured Flying Extended Right Angle as our pinnacle pose.
We had a great time! See our gallery page to view some of the photo's.
