✴️ Breaking Myths: Stories from the Mat to Flight

Friday June 12, 2026 10:15am - 11:30am EDT

Limited Capacity seats available

Journey through the rich tapestry of yoga's ancient stories while dismantling the modern myths we tell ourselves about what our bodies can do. In this playful, accessible class, we'll explore the Hindu epics and legends behind familiar asanas, discovering how these timeless tales connect to our own practice. Then we'll put theory into action as we approach arm balances with curiosity rather than fear, using blocks and mindful progression to prove that flight is more accessible than you think. Whether you've never left the ground or you're looking to deepen your understanding of these poses, you'll leave with new stories—both ancient and personal—and perhaps a few surprises about your own strength and capability.
All levels welcome.

The popularity of vinyasa-based yoga practice has created a wide interest in the theory and practice of Mula, Uddiyana and Jalandhara Bandha – the “yogic locks.” In this workshop, Leslie applies his unique, experiential approach to clarify and, above all, simplify the practical, anatomical basis of these powerful, yet widely misunderstood tools.

The good news is the moment you first learned to coordinate breath and body movement, you were intuitively, implicitly learning bandha. From this perspective, deepening your yoga consists of nothing more than uncovering our innate ability to find support and spaciousness through breath-centered practice.
