2. You don't know if you want to teach or not, but you do want to go deeper into the full tradition of yoga, to develop your own personal practice and expand your abilities. Some prior yoga experience is required.

Events / Workshops: Not scheduled yet

These are a few of workshops that I love to offer. If you have the space and a few friends to host an experience of Joyflow, please contact me and we will schedule it. For most of these, I can offer Continuing Education Hours for Teachers Registered with the Yoga Alliance.

Me And My Chair

Explore how a chair can aid in traditional yoga positions, improve strength, flexibility, and balance, allow you to join vigorous flow classes safely, and support long slow stretches for relaxation and strength building.

For Beginners, who might have physical limitations or challenges.
For Aging Yogis, who want to continue their beloved practice, despite injury and aging challenges.
For Any Yogi who wants more tools and options, especially Yoga Teachers who want more options to serve their students.

Will Include: Discussion / Sitting in chair practice / A flow class / A Restorative practice

2-3 hours

The Experiential Enneagram

We will discuss the Enneagram, but more importantly we will FEEL THE ENNEAGRAM! This workshop is all about experiencing our internal balance of Gut, Heart, and Head Energy. It is about connection to our Inner Guidance, and Compassion and Understanding of Each Other. We will Connect, Share, Breath, Move, Stretch, and Relax Deeply.

Will Include: PowerPoint Lecture, Discussion, Sharing, Breathwork, Movement via Yoga and Dance, Restorative Inward Journey to Soul, Deep Relaxation

If you are not familiar with Enneagram, go to enneagramtest.net and take the free diagnostic with explanation, or just go to youtube and explore. Have fun (laughing at yourself and gaining insight into beloved relationships!)

3-5 hours

Yoga Sequencing

Vinyasa: The yoga that is now offered in most of the yoga centers and gyms across the country! What is it exactly and how is it related to traditional classical yoga from India? In this workshop we will cover the historical transitions that have brought us to our current popular Flow practice and then explore ways to create flow sequences that are fun and functional.

Vinyasa has three meanings:

Vinyasa is a Style of Yoga that emphasizes breath and movement, linking various postures with Sun Salutations.
Vinyasa also refers to the Linking Postures: Plank, The Push Down, Upward Dog, Downward Dog (or variations of these), as in “take your vinyasa”.
And quite literally, Vinyasa means “to sequence”. With this definition we will explore how one might sequence a practice to advance to a difficult “goal pose”, to create a theme, or even heal injury. (Note: we are Yogis, not medical professionals; it’s all about self-exploration}

3 hours

Pranayama: The Art and Science of Breathing

In this workshop we will explore the ways in which changing the breath can have profound effects on our nervous system and general health. Learn how to cool down, heat up, relax, invigorate, find balance, and most importantly, learn ways to relax deeply. You will gain a skill-set, handouts included, that will serve you for life. This is the 4th Limb of 8-Limbs of Classical Yoga that is not taught often enough (IMO).
