Programs & Workshops
.png){kind=small}
Programs are a great way to take a deeper dive into a specific therapeutic topic in a group setting. Typically, a series of multi-week classes, programs will provide an in-depth exploration of how yoga can be used to address a specific health issue. Workshops are shorter, often one-time events, also focused on a therapeutic topic or goal. Both formats include education, experiential learning, and, of course, yoga practice.
Two programs coming up this fall!
Persistent Pain: Understanding, Exploring, and Reframing Your Experience

● Increase your understanding of pain and its impact on your body, breath, mind, and spirit, and
