Unlocking the Hips and Shoulders: The Gateways

Release tension and restriction in two of the body's emotional strongholds: hips store what's unspoken, shoulders carry what we refuse to put down.

The hips and shoulders are the body’s two main emotional strongholds—silent vaults where we store tension, memory, and protective patterns. In this deep, intelligently sequenced workshop, we’ll explore these physical and energetic gateways with equal parts strength, mobility, and surrender.

Through a blend of vinyasa-based flow, targeted mobility drills, and advanced asana exploration, students will learn how to access deeper range of motion in the hips and shoulders while cultivating the mindfulness to release what no longer serves. We’ll explore postures like Visvamitrasana, Compass, Bird of Paradise, and Pigeon variations with attention to both anatomical integrity and emotional nuance.

Expect a mix of challenge and softness, play and precision. This is not just a workshop about physical flexibility—it’s a practice in letting go, listening inward, and reclaiming space within your body.

Perfect for all students looking to deepen their physical practice and explore the intersection of emotion and embodiment.

This workshop will be offered in-person only (no livestream.)
