Taking your practice to the next level. Explore these fun poses and energize your practice.

This workshop is designed to teach you tools how to access inversions and arm balances in a safe, stable, focused, and fun way. There can be a sense of frustration or fear that arises on the topic of inversions or arm balances, so there will be opportunity for questions, demonstrations, wall work, and partner work.

The intention is to move you to a place of confidence and understanding while planting the seeds of possibility to continue ripening in your future yoga practice. You will begin to recognize re-occuring themes within your asana practice that will continually strengthen the muscles and mind frame needed to play with flight.

Attendees will learn about the myriad of issues that confront honey bees including pesticide use, diseases and even the weather! In addition, attendees can learn how to creatively plant their gardens to help feed all of our pollinators. It is important for the community to appreciate and understand the importance of bees as the lead pollinator of many of our crops adding to the food diversity we have come to enjoy.

The California Honey festival, benefits select bee & pollinator non-profits doing the hard work of research and education to ensure bee health worldwide.

Beginner to Intermediate level

Inversions and arm balances can be intimidating, elusive, and painful poses without proper training. In this workshop, you’ll learn safe and effective techniques for unlocking challenging poses like headstand, scorpion, 8-crooked limb, and other arm balances. Instructor Reno Gorman has over a decade of experience teaching yoga arm balances and inversions, and is a professional acrobat. He’ll cover alignment and anatomy to keep your shoulders, neck, and wrists protected from injury, as well as poses and exercises to create the flexibility and strength needed for inversions and arm balances. With good alignment, warm ups, and smart progressions, you’ll find you are able to uplift yourself in ways you might have never thought possible! These poses offer a new level of fitness and well being, with headstand often described as the king of all asanas. Find out for yourself why in this fun and empowering workshop. 
This workshop is suitable for beginner to intermediate level practitioners. If you have little to no experience, you’ll make several breakthroughs on basics and have a strong foundation for progression. More experienced practitioners will refine specific techniques and discover new poses/movements to deepen their practice even more. 
For questions or concerns, please contact Reno at reno.gorman@gmail.com

Explore new yoga pose possibilities with a friend or partner.
Practicing yoga with 1 or more people can give you deeper stretches, new poses, challenging balances, and a playful energy you just can’t get on your own. The last half of the class will explore thai yoga massage – it’s like yoga and massage mixed together – to treat the whole body and mind. Reno will guide you through the partner poses and thai massage techniques for a safe and effective practice that is sure to leave you feeling relaxed, energized, and balanced.

NO PARTNER NECESSARY – there will be plenty of people to pair up with, so you can attend solo.

No yoga experience necessary, but some experience would be helpful.
