Workshop Descriptions

Therapeutic Focus Workshops

Each month we offer a Therapeutic Focus workshop to provide yoga students in Beaverton and others who are interested an opportunity to explore a particular issue or part of the body in more depth through Yoga. Each class covers basic anatomy and movement principles. Students receive individualized attention and a written yoga routine to take home for further practice.

These classes are designed for both new and experienced students and can also be helpful for yoga teachers, healthcare professionals and body workers who want more specific information with which to assist their clients. No yoga experience is necessary.

Examples of Therapeutic Focus Workshops offered: Yoga for Neck and Shoulders, Core Strength and the Abdominals, Hips and Pelvis, Posture and others.

Introduction to Yoga Workshops

This workshop includes short lectures introducing students to the history and philosophy of yoga and a gentle yoga practice. Designed for first time students to experience some basic yoga postures and develop an understanding of what a yoga class is like.

Starting At Home Practice Workshops

Finding the time for at home yoga practice, knowing what poses to do, and how to sequence is the challenge we face in deciding to undertake a personal home practice. In this four-week series we will explore ways in which to tackle these challenges and to help design a yoga practice that can be flexible to your expanding skills, interest and energy awareness. We will also practice basic poses that will support your personal design.
