UPCOMING WORKSHOPS
I have two great workshops coming up!
Please email me with any questions-


The first is Building a Home Practice

June 4th 12-2pm Mound Street Yoga
1342 Mound Street
register online or drop in $30
Group classes are excellent for learning the basics of yoga but they can often become distracting and not always meet us where we are.

Designing a home practice, learning to be our own teacher, allows us to drop deeper into practice and find new transformation.

In this two hour all levels workshop you will learn:
Simple techniques to calm the body and mind
How to create a practice based on your present yoga experience
An easy to understand and follow yoga recipe
How to incorporate poses into practice to cope with stress and anxiety

By the end of the workshop, students will have an understanding of the
inner dynamics of the many different yoga poses and a roadmap to setting up and practicing where ever you are.

The Second is in Blue Mounds at the Dharma Center
June 12th 10am- 4pm
Sunday Retreat in Silence
This one day all levels retreat will offer simple seated and walking meditation techniques to ground the body and open the mind. In this retreat, students will learn the benefits of a cooling all levels yoga practice, accessible to understand yoga philosophy and journaling. We will quiet the mind and free the breath to let go of our day-to-day stress and embody grounding and strength. Beginners encouraged and welcome.
***Please bring a notebook, tennis/walking shoes for walking meditation and light yard work and a sack lunch. A microwave and hot water will be available for tea and food.
online registration will be coming soon or drop in $40

Yoga in your space.

regular Yoga practice can do for you:

helps release stress
create longer attention spans
lower blood pressure

build strength and stamina

Upcoming workshop

Awake in the World

with Michael Stone
at Mound Street Yoga
Friday, May 20th (FREE)
7:30-9:00pm Dharma talk and book signing

Saturday, May 21st
12-2:30pm asana
3:30-6:30pm meditation and discussion

Sunday, May 22nd
9-11:30am asana
12:30-4:00pm meditation and discussion

This weekend will focus on slowing down the yoga posture sequence to better understand the internal patterns of the postures and how the breath flows through the poses giving rise to meditation, concentration and ease. We will explore bandhas and pranayama sequences as they naturally occur within the asanas. There will be time both for asana practice as well as exploration of meditation and philosophy.

Michael Stone is a psychotherapist in private practice, lecturer, yoga teacher and author. He co-leads the Centre of Gravity Sangha, a thriving community of Yoga and Buddhist practitioners in Toronto and travels internationally, teaching in academic, yoga studio and conference settings.

"In April, we cannot see sunflowers in France, so we might say the sunflowers do not exist. But the local farmers have already planted thousands of seeds, and when they look at the bare hills, they may be able to see the sunflowers already. The sunflowers are there. They lack only the conditions of sun, heat, rain and July. Just because we cannot see them does not mean that they do not exist."
- Thich Nhat Hanh

Always be planting seeds for your practice.
