Grounded in Gratitude, Grateful for Diversity, Hip-Openers

November, 2018

Our hips support us whether we are sitting or not.  They are the gateway for our spine to ascend vertically, even as we traverse our world horizontally.  The largest joints of our body, the strongest muscles of our body, sometimes the constriction of these muscles cause us to want more freedom in many dimensions.

 

This workshop will explore each dimension that our hips travel in.  Taking us to a place of greater ease (sukkha).  Fortunately, gratefully the antidote for any discomfort (dukkha) is a comfortable steady seat.

Safely Supporting Your Shoulderstand

October, 2018

According to Iyengar,  "The importance of Sarvangasana cannot be over-emphasized.  It is one of the greatest boons conferred on humanity by our ancient sages....it is the Mother of asanas."  From the benefits for our endocrine system, our postural muscles, and just the good fun of being able to see our world as upside down, shoulderstand is a treasure house of blessings being bestowed.

“Michael is very professional and knowledgeable and very sensitive to my individual needs at every meeting.  He is able to adapt his emphasis each session on what seems most appropriate for me.  He has improved my yoga depth of knowledge and made each week fun yet very beneficial, spiritually as well as physically.  A pleasure to work with."
