Awakening the Spine with Amy Pancake 
In this workshop we'll learn how to access the vital source of strength and buoyancy represented by the midline of the body: the spine. Learn how to use organ support and organic movement instead of moving exclusively from the bones and muscles. Combined, undulating the spine and finding organ support empowers the student to develop an internal barometer of what is the perfect expression of each pose each time it is practiced. This type of movement exploration can also help students move more easily with the breath, allowing the breath to massage the spine during practice. All levels of hatha, hatha flow and ashtanga students are welcome. Moving from the spine can create beautiful grace and ease in your poses and transitions. Note: this is a movement workshop but the intensity level will be relatively low as we explore new movement territory.

Individuals, $25 before 2/8, $35 after

Thai massage has been affectionately referred to as "lazy man's yoga" because a partner assists you in stretching and opening your body, reaping many benefits similar to the yoga practice in a relaxing and enjoyable way. I studied Thai Massage while in Thailand in 2008 and am excited to share this delightful therapeutic experience with you. We'll begin with a few partner yoga moves to open the body and connect with each other, and then move into trading thai massage. This is a beautiful way to connect with another person, and to practice the art of giving and receiving.

We'll cover all of that in this workshop and more---from pacing to toddler whispering! You don't need to know any yoga to start practicing with your little one(s)!

$25 before 2/22, $30 after
Whether you know it or not, immense creativity is inside of you; alive, kicking, and just waiting to burst forth! All that is required is that you step aside and let your dormant energies flow. Luckily, that is precisely what this workshop is designed to do. Join special guest Kate Gotsis, writer and yoga teacher from Phoenix, for a magical three-hour workshop combining the practices of Kundalini Yoga with proven writing practices to release your inner Hemingway.
Much more than a simple writing workshop, this energetic program is a yogic journey of self-discovery and expression. Alternating between powerful ancient yoga practices and frequent stream-of-consciousness free-writes, the process is designed to help you discover your inner wild genius. Whether you’re an established author, a budding poet, or simply wanting to get your creative juices flowing, this workshop is for you. It’s a journey designed for everyone, independent of writing experience or ability. Bring an empty stomach, a pen, a notebook, a spirit of adventure--and let yourself soar!
Kate Gotsis is a cactus-hugging, word-slinging, registered yoga teacher. She has been playfully blending kundalini and hatha yoga for over a decade, while daringly guiding students to explore and unleash their full and authentic voices. Oh, and she writes.
