Your breath’s motion is your body’s primal life rhythm. Your breath shapes your body as well as your mental “shape” and outlook. Come dive into your diaphragm to find new ways of harvesting the muscular, fascial and neural power that drive respiration and put you in the driver’s seat of self-regulation.
PROPS: Blocks, Mat

A Yoga of the Foot: 3 Easy Points for being a Better Biped

Saturday June 13, 2026 4:00pm - 5:30pm EDT

Crane West

As a species, humans have been walking erect for about 2 million years. Yet, in what amounts to an evolutionary blink of an eye, the natural unprocessed earth has literally been pulled out from under our feet. We have leveled, paved, and otherwise smoothed out the unpredictable terrain our feet evolved to live upon. Added to this insult is the injury of restrictive footwear and poor gait habits. It’s no wonder we have an epidemic of physical ills in the industrialized world that can be traced back to our compromised foundations.

This workshop will delve deeply into the anatomical structure, function and retraining of our feet as the foundation for a healthy asana practice and for living more fully functional lives as happy bipeds.

Healthy Lordotic Curves of the Spine

Saturday June 13, 2026 4:00pm - 5:30pm EDT

Crane East

Between the ribcage and the spine, we have over 100 articulating surfaces. Stickiness or rigidity in one area can lead to excessive movement in other parts. This sequence of movements and shapes targets the health and function of the two lordotic parts of the spine, the neck and lower back. We use them to reveal incongruous movement patterns, resolve pain, and generate health throughout the spine.
