New Year, New Practice: Yoga Basics Workshop
Thinking about starting yoga this year but not sure where to begin? This workshop is for you. Our Yoga Basics Workshop is a welcoming, no-pressure space designed especially for beginners and anyone wanting to build confidence in foundational poses and flows.
We’ll break things down slowly and clearly - what each pose is for, how it might feel in your body, and how to modify it so it works for you. No rushing, no expectations, just learning and moving with intention.
What to expect:
Guided meditation focused on breath + intention setting
Explore how to use props effectively
Step-by-step breakdown of Sun Salutations A, B, and C
Clear alignment cues, somatic awareness, and common modifications
Foundational standing poses like Warrior I, II, Triangle, and Side Angle
Intro to balances, gentle backbends, and inversion basics (with wall support)
Deep rest in a nourishing Savasana
Props are fully supported (bolster, blanket, and blocks provided), and questions are encouraged.
Pricing: Pay what you want.
Suggested contribution: $30 per person.
We want yoga to feel accessible—especially when you’re just getting started.
If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to move more, feel better in your body, or finally try yoga without feeling intimidated, this is your sign. ??
Come as you are. Learn the basics. Start your year grounded and empowered.
