Forward Bend-Monadnock-ccFLOW YOUR OWN WAY:  creating a home practice

*TBA- stay tuned

Are you a once-a-week yogi?  Ready to take the next step and deepen your relationship to yoga?  This workshop will give you the tools you need to start a basic home practice, one that can nourish your spirit and strengthen your body– anytime, anywhere.

Most of us start out in yoga because we find a teacher we like and a class that fits into our busy schedules.  But learning to practice alone, un-led, trusting your body’s wisdom, is a profound gift to yourself–  one that is worth the effort.

We’ll dive into this workshop with a juicy vinyasa flow class, then break it all down and learn the building blocks of the practice. Expect to work and play hard, delve deep, and take home a yoga plan you can use immediately.

For students with some yoga experience.

Cost: $60* pre-registered, or $65 day-of-workshop.
*Includes detailed manual of inspiring home practices and resources.  SPACE IS LIMITED and this workshop fills up fast!  You must pre-pay in order to attend.  Contact Diana with questions or to register, or register online via PayPal.

CORE YOGA & X-C SKIING

*returning winter 2014… think SNOW!*

Cross-country skiing is all about flowing with strength and working from your core. So flow yoga is a natural way to complement your skiing, relax, and recover from ski-specific training. Regular yoga practice also improves your focus, expands your lung capacity, strengthens every muscle group in your body, and prevents injuries.

Our Core Yoga & Skiing workshop focuses on skills to enhance your skiing:

– balance and alignment
– core strength
– relaxation during intense effort
– forward momentum
– flexibility, and more!

We’ll meet at the Putney School Dance Studio and start off with ski-specific yoga warm-ups. Then we’ll hit the beautiful Putney trails for technique work, drills, and some over-distance skiing. Expect to work hard, have fun, and sharpen up your ski technique with coaching from Diana and Tim Whitney.  After a hearty snack, we’ll finish our morning in the studio with a delicious flow yoga class to stretch and release sore muscles.  No yoga experience necessary.
*Ski rentals are available at the West Hill Shop in Putney.

CORE YOGA & SCULLING:  a workshop on the mat and on the water

ROW-BOC * Brattleboro

In this unique workshop, you’ll learn CORE’s five essential keys to better sculling. You’ll sharpen up your sculling technique with coaching from Tim and Diana Whitney, get a personal video review, and then relax deeply in a scullers’ yoga class.
