About this event

Join Kelcie and Breann for a yoga weekend immersion. On Friday, we will focus on the basics. Take time to learn (or review) and practice fundamental poses and breathing techniques. We will start with slow, unwinding movement in order to prepare the body for the practice. Enjoy the opportunity to ask questions in a safe and informal environment. This class will open you up for a weekend of growth and transformation.

On Saturday, we’ll explore the physical forms of some of your favorite poses, while Kelcie and Breann integrate storytelling of the mythology behind the movement. Then, we’ll breathe and move through a more challenging vinyasa flow. Vinyasa is a Sanskrit term often employed to describe a broad range of yoga styles. Vinyasa can be decoded from its root words “Nyasa” denoting “to place” and “vi” denoting “in a special way.” It symbolizes a flowing, dynamic form of yoga where postures are linked using breath. In Vinyasa yoga, each movement is synchronized to a breath. The breath acts as an anchor as you move from one pose to the next. Building upon Friday's class, you will have the chance to add in more challenging poses and variations. By creating heat (agni), you'll burn away everything no longer serving you, and create an opportunity for fresh growth.

On Sunday, you’ll have the opportunity to further strengthen your core. A strong core acts as a stabilizer for the rest of your body, helps prevents back pain, and improves balance and posture. On a deeper level, a strong core can help increase self-confidence. Following the core practice, you’ll end the weekend with a Sukha Restorative class. Sukha is a sanskrit word often translated to "ease" or "happiness." 'Kha' is 'space' and 'su' means 'good.' So, a more literal translation might be 'Good Space.' In Sukha Restore, we will create a safe, sweet class by merging restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, guided meditation, aromatherapy, and intuitive massage. Prepare to feel completely transformed. Breann and Kelcie will guide you through relaxing, restorative poses and meditation, while simultaneously circulating the room to offer hands-on adjustments, massage, and soothing touch.

Don’t miss this weekend of Yoga Discovery!
