Yin Yoga with Coleen Clement

October 10, 2010, 1:00p - 3:30p

Embrace the lovely days of fall with our Yin yoga workshop! Join Coleen Clement for an afternoon of Yin yoga that will leave you feeling balanced and refreshed.

Even with a dedicated Vinyasa practice, we reach a certain point of flexibility in our bodies. Through this workshop, you will gain a deeper understanding of range of motion and how this powerfully quiet practice can increase your flexibility. This workshop will focus on the hips, and include different breathing techniques to enhance your regular practice, as well as encourage a strong inner focus. All levels are welcome!

Inversions and Arm Balances with Keith Crosslin

November 21, 2010, 1:00p - 3:30p

Inversions are an important aspect to the practice of yoga, providing tremendous benefits for all major systems in the body. In addition, inversions build strength and confidence both on and off the mat. In this workshop you will learn how to approach inversions and arm balancing postures safely and effectively. This workshop is appropriate for all levels of students who are practicing at least three times per week. Inversions are not recommended for people who have suffered neck or eye injuries; please contact the studio if you have any questions or concerns about whether or not you should participate.

A 30 year journey of self-discovery brought Keith to Yoga in 1996, that and a really bad back. His classes are fun, challenging, and offer plenty of rich instruction. He has been teaching yoga for 10 years, the last two in the DC area. Keith's teaching is heavily influenced by the concepts of Ayurveda, which he studied at The Ayurvedic Institute and in India. Now a student of Iyengar Yoga with John Schumacher, the Vinyasa style is an important part of his personal practice and his formal yoga education, including studying with Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, two Ashtanga teacher training programs with Tim Miller, and one with David Swenson. He is also certified to teach Vinyasa Yoga by Ganga White and Tracy Rich of the White Lotus. He is a 500 hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) and a former studio owner.
