Join Ashlee for Pathways to Presence: Preparing for Spring, a two hour Workshop on March 7 from 12-2pm in which we will explore movement, balance, breath, and stillness.
As we transition out of winter and into the expansive energy of spring, this two-hour workshop is designed to help you gently awaken the body, build momentum, and create space for renewal—both physically and energetically.
We’ll begin with Sun Salutations, exploring safe alignment, accessible variations, and traditional sequences from different lineages. These rhythmic, flowing movements help generate warmth, circulation, and vitality—supporting the natural upward and outward energy of the season while building confidence and strength in your practice.
From there, we’ll move into standing and balancing poses, using props and mindful exploration to cultivate stability as energy begins to rise. By emphasizing functional alignment over effort or ego, we’ll explore how balance on the mat prepares us to meet seasonal shifts with resilience and steadiness.
As the pace slows, we’ll deepen into seated postures and hip-opening poses, creating space for release after winter’s holding patterns. With attention to anatomy and supportive variations, these shapes encourage mobility, ease, and a sense of lightness—making room for growth and change.
We’ll close with pranayama and meditation, learning foundational breathwork and accessible meditation practices that help clear stagnation, support nervous system regulation, and set intentional focus for the season ahead.
This workshop is ideal for students and teachers seeking a more embodied understanding of yoga while aligning practice with the rhythms of spring. All levels are welcome—come as you are and leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and ready for what’s next.
