Finding Peace in the Postures is a weekend workshop designed to help you reconnect to your body, your breath, and your inner landscape. Rooted in the therapeutic and alignment-focused methodology of Yoga on the Inside, this immersion is about feeling your way in, rather than forcing your way through.
Over the course of three days, you’ll be guided through intentional movement practices that gently build strength, restore mobility, regulate the nervous system, and most importantly—create a sense of peace within each posture.
Whether you’re new to yoga or looking to refine and soften your practice, this journey invites you to move inward with compassion, curiosity, and presence. Each day blends mindful asana, restorative postures, pranayama, and reflection, deepening the connection between your body and your mind.
