Too Flexible? Hypermobility and Yoga with Jen Ebbert
Dates:
Sunday, July 24, 2022
Location:
Arlington
Online In-Person
Joint Hypermobility can be a gift and a burden, and its overrepresentation on the yoga mat has too often amplified the gifts while masking the burdens and associated dangers. In this workshop, we'll delve into the details and learn about its prevalence in yoga practitioners, and we'll explore the challenges that hypermobility creates, the compensations that happen within the body, the inherent glorification within yoga culture, and offer tools for keeping our yoga asana practice safe and meaningful. This workshop is ideal for anyone involved in learning, practicing, or teaching yoga postures, and will help bring awareness to best practices around helping to keep our own bodies, and those of our students, injury-free with steadiness and ease.
Beat the Heat: Ayurveda for the Hot Ones with Cindy Wargo
Dates:
Sunday, July 31, 2022
Location:
Arlington
Online In-Person
As the summer heat lingers we can find ourselves out of sorts. With an over-abundance of pitta, or the fire element in Ayurveda, we tend to feel irritable, judgmental, critical, and even quick to anger. Left unchecked, too much pitta can affect digestion giving us heartburn and loose stools. It can cause skin rashes and acne flare ups, as well as headaches, dizziness and insomnia. Cooling down and staying calm becomes essential during this time of year. In this workshop we'll learn ways to reduce the fire through pranayama, asana, and lifestyle adjustments.
This workshop will be recorded and available 30 days from the live presentation.
