Sound has been used as a tool for revelation and transformation by many psycho-spiritual traditions throughout history. Vibration itself is fundamental to the structure of our universe, and we are but one result of its ever-unfolding process.

Join us for an early evening devoted to exploring this primal connection to sound. You’ll be invited to find a home in your body through guided relaxation and light breath work, setting the stage for a deep and receptive listening experience. It is from here that we can tap the wellspring of our healing.

Biography

The Joy of Movement: Playful Practice Explorations
Join Carrie Owerko for this series of all-levels in-person workshops in NYC!

3-Thursdays, 2-4pm
October 12, November 16, December 14

These classes will be a playful, modern movement science informed exploration of yoga and movement. We will explore novel ways to increase our capacity to move with variety, maintain and gain strength and mobility over time, learn new movement skills and have fun doing so. We will look at playful ways to make various poses and movements more accessible, but to also challenge the body and brain to learn new things, get stronger, and become more adaptable.

We will look at how we can use play as a way to explore ways to incorporate tempo variation, dynamic balance, agility, coordinative strength (and maybe even dance!) into our practice. We will play this way not only for our body, but to enhance adult adaptive neuroplasticity–that is, our ability to learn new things throughout our lives.

Most importantly we will celebrate the JOY of MOVEMENT and a chance to gather, practice, and play TOGETHER, in person, once again! To Move Your Body is to Love Your Body.
Let’s do it together,
Carrie

Flexibility: Principles, Practices, and Purpose
Flexibility is one of the most popular, and sometimes controversial, topics of the last decade. While it is arguably overrated, it is not as dangerous or detrimental as is often claimed. Moreover, stretching and yoga appear synonymous in the mainstream media and the reaction within the community tends to either glorify or deny the entire notion. Enter Jules Mitchell, author of Yoga Biomechanics: Stretching Redefined, to help you explore both perspectives while empowering you with education to make informed decisions about why to stretch and when it matters.

This weekend course is designed to provide an in-depth exploration of what stretching is and how to do it effectively. By the end of this workshop, participants will:
– Distinguish between the 6 different stretching modalities.
– Incorporate a variety of stretching techniques into yoga sequences.
– Learn how to increase range of motion safely and effectively.
– Understand eccentric contractions and the latest research.
– Master muscle physiology and how load fits into the stretching narrative.
– Explore connective tissue mechanics in multiple contexts such as pain, injury, and ROM.
– Question the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of stretching practices.
– Recognize common stretching myths and misconceptions.
– Gain the knowledge and skills necessary to confidently talk about how stretching works.

Jules has spent the last decade teaching yoga teachers about the science, biomechanics, and physiology of stretching. Join her for her comprehensive stretching course that will take your education to the next level. Suitable for yoga teachers of all levels, as well as any individual interested in learning more about stretching practices, this course is about stretching your minds as much as your bodies.

This weekend’s workshop will sell out!
