Workshop Schedule

Kino will share everything she’s learned about hip opening during more than two decades of Ashtanga practice. Opening your hips is an emotional and physical experience. In the workshop, we’ll explore the connection the physical body, energetic body, and subtle body have to the hip opening process.

Dive into a detailed exploration of the yoga method based on the foundational principles of practice in the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series. Break down key principles and poses in a perfect mix between theory and application. Perfect for ALL LEVELS, new students will find a warm welcome to this ancient tradition and old students will leave with a fresh look at the lineage and practice.

It may be hard for you to imagine this but I am not naturally strong, neither emotionally nor physically. The journey of strength has been one of the most fundamental and life-changing lessons of my yoga practice. At first it felt utterly impossible, the idea that a weak small girl like me would be able to do something as powerful as a handstand.

But slowly, over years of practice the impossible became possible. Along the way a whole series of thoughts, feelings and other, more hard to define elements of personality and life shifted as well. As I embodied the strength I was searching for in my yoga practice in my life off the mat, I slowly evolved into a different person. The process didn’t happen overnight, but in some ways it did feel like “suddenly” I was able to do a handstand.

Surrender to the traditional Ashtanga Yoga method with careful emphasis on the traditional vinyasa method and have fun along the journey. Experience the integrity and purity of the Ashtanga Yoga practice and be prepared to sweat.

If you enjoy a challenge but think you are too stiff to ever bend your back then this is the perfect class for you. By understanding how to work your body in a safe way you will learn what it takes to really bend over backwards with no fear. The secrets of deep backbends are available to you through the integration of sound anatomical principles, healthy alignment techniques and intensely fun stretches. The dynamic movement mechanics of bending your spine are the key to limitless flows of energy and in this class you will begin to explore your natural potential for deep backbends with safety, support and enthusiasm.
