“It is teachers and practitioners like Jason that will take the art
of teaching yoga to its next step.”
-Rodney Yee |
In this 2-day workshop, you will learn how alignment and attention to detail cultivates greater depth and ease in your flow practice—from arm-balance to hip-openers, from core-strengtheners to backbends. Said to have a “knack for explaining subtle movements in a way everyone can understand” (Yoga Journal), Jason will help you deepen your practice—teaching you to expand your edge, open your body, and stay connected to your essence. Each workshop will begin with a brief discussion of related anatomy and move into a smart, satisfying flow practice.
Jason Crandell was recently named one of the U.S.’ “next generation of yoga teachers” (Yoga Journal), for his skillful, unique approach to vinyasa yoga. Jason is the creator of Yoga Journal’s newest dvds: Yoga for Wellbeing; Yoga for Morning, Noon, and Night; and, The Complete Beginner’s Guide to Yoga.

Schedule
Saturday, June 12
10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Awakening, Strengthening and Integrating Your Core
In this session you will awaken deep sensations and intelligence in the core of your body. In doing so, you will explore how using your core muscles creates more integrated alignment in your entire body and sets the stage for greater steadiness and ease (yes, ease!) in all of your poses.
3:00 – 5:00 PM
Opening, Aligning, and Strengthening your Shoulders
We often demand a lot of our shoulders in our daily life and in our yoga practice without a second thought. But shoulders and hips are complicated, sensitive structures that are prone to injury when not well cared for. In this workshop, you will learn how to work your shoulders safely —increasing their strength, alignment, and mobility—in a wide-range of poses.
Sunday, June 13
10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Effortless Arm-balances
The grace of arm balancing, as with so many things in life, comes from balance not force. Similarly, the hips, which often hold the key to arm balancing, respond best to smooth, slow unfolding rather than brief bursts of zealous pushing. In this workshop you will untie those knots in your hips and learn how to approach arm-balances with patience.
3:00 – 5:00 PM
Deeper backbends, greater comfort
Practiced skillfully, backbends awaken the spine and clear the mind. Unfortunately, we can also compress the lower back and over-expose the front-body if we are too aggressive or performance oriented. This workshop will teach you to find greater depth—and greater comfort—in your backbends by using your arms, legs, and spine effectively.
