** Jumps and Transitions (https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=734764&stype=-8&sView=day&sLoc=0)

Saturday February 23rd
2:00-4:00pm
$40 // session or $108 // full 3 part series

In this 2 hour workshop we will breakdown and analyze the transitions of the sun salutations of the Ashtanga Yoga system (jumping back & forward) as well as the jump throughs and jump backs (and their variations) of the seated sequence.
We will work with our bodies, learning different variations for each of our bodies that will help us connect with our core, and develop and access our abdominal strength in order to be able to jump from here. We will learn drills that will help us cultivate strength, as well as openings for our hips and hamstrings to be able to access our entire lower body to jump.
We will focus on building a solid foundation in order to flow with grace with the movement and the breath.
We will have plenty of practice to internalize what we have learned, and work in pairs so as to learn from different bodies and proportions.
All levels welcome!

Prenatal yoga gives mamas a valuable space to get centered and nurture their pregnancy journey. This class is open to all levels of yoga experience, during any stage of pregnancy. Each class includes alignment based yoga and movement instruction, laboring techniques, meditation and deep relaxation. Along with helping with common aches and pains that can be associated with pregnancy, these practices will also help prepare a mama’s body for birth and her postpartum period. This class is lead by Kate Miller, a certified prenatal yoga teacher, professional birth doula and childbirth educator. While Kate brings more than 20 years of teaching alignment based hatha yoga to her classes, she also weaves her knowledge of comfort measures and laboring techniques to prepare mamas for birth. If you’re expecting, you won’t want to miss this class to help support your pregnancy, birth and baby!

12:15-2:15pm
$40 // session or $108 // full 3 part series

In this 2 hour workshop, we will be breaking down the 3 most popular inversions in yoga; starting with Headstand (and variations), continuing with with Forearm stand, and making our way to Handstand.
We will study the anatomy of each posture, different variations for every level, ways of coming in and out safely and with integrity, work with props, and learn to prep for them with drills of strength, flexibility, and mobility; that will help you feel more comfortable and stable in each of these poses.
We will learn more of our own bodies and work with different variations so as to work and access these postures progressively and in a safe way, for a sustainable Yoga practice.
We will practice everything we have learned, and work in pairs to learn from different bodies and proportions.
All levels welcome.

** Myofascial Release + Yin Yoga (https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=28732&stype=-8&sView=day&sLoc=0)

A tune-up for your body and mind. This workshop is meant to expand your mind and deepen your physical practice. Increase mobility, lengthen muscles and connective tissue and increase blood flow to the joints while relieving pain and tension in the body through self-myofascial release and yin yoga. Props will be used to apply a targeted, gentle, sustained pressure to muscle (myo-) and connective tissue (fascia), followed by unlocking the less plastic areas of the body (hips, shoulders, and spine) through traditional long-held yin yoga poses. The perfect gift for all practitioners, a monthly opportunity to re-train the body and the mind while cultivating a deeper connection to the organic self.

What if there was a way to let go of the stress you’ve been carrying—from work, from life—release anxiety, reduce physical pain, soften symptoms of depression, help you feel more at ease in your own skin, let go of negative energy, release mental blocks or feelings of stuckness in just 20 minutes?

What if in those 20 minutes you could find some peace and ease within your body, feel more connected to yourself and experience total relaxation?

All these things and more are possible when you receive Reiki, a high vibrational energy that brings balance and harmony to the body and has the power to heal on all levels: the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Join Reiki Master Jessica Mahler and members of the DC Healing Community to shed whatever’s been weighing you down to help you feel more refreshed and free. There will be beds made in the studio for you to experience sweet release from whatever ails you. Come in, lie down, and receive.

Arrive anytime between 2–3:30pm to receive a 20-minute treatment from a certified Reiki practitioner. If all practitioners are busy when you show up, you will receive a treatment in the order you arrived once a healer is available. We ask for your patience and are grateful for your support.

A portion of the proceeds from this event goes to Thrive DC, an organization dedicated to ending and preventing homelessness in Washington, DC.
