Surfing The Vinyasa Wave – Experience the latest evolution of Prana Flow Yoga, the unique Vinyasa style of Shiva Rea. Dynamic asana, creative flows, and integrated pranayama create a moving meditation that will tune and tone you from the inside out while giving you the tools to navigate life’s changes with grace, power, and confidence. We will explore several waves of multi-dimensional sequences, fluid sun salutations, backbends, arm balances and hip opening, to understand the underlying flow of Prana.

Jai Hanuman! Inversions and Arm-Balances – Handstands and inversions are  empowering mudras that embody the best qualities of Hanuman, the archetypal heroic monkey: courage, fearless flying, pranic body of power, agility and light. Learn a pathway of flows within a powerful Vinyasa Flow workshop so that you can evolve to enjoying handstand in the center of the room with creative energy and empowered vitality.

Artful Assists for Vinyasa Teachers – Designed for teachers and students, we will practice assists practical for teaching Vinyasa Yoga. A skillful touch has the power to transport your students to a whole new level of awareness. What could take you years to understand in your body a teacher can facilitate with one precise, effective, supportive assist.

Liquid Flow Yoga: Restore Your Prana – Enjoy a slowly developing, flowing sequence of postures that are restorative in nature, yet heart-opening as well. Practice in a way that creates space in the joints and spine, and calms the nervous system. The movements are similar to the way tai-chi is practiced, slow, methodical and meditative. We will fluidly work toward deep hip-openers, liberating backbends, and calming forward bends moving toward deep relaxation.

Dj Hyfi will spin ambient tunes throughout the workshop.
