Chaturanga Lab // 5:45pm at DRIFT
Wednesdays // May 14th, August 6th, November 12th, 2025

A 45-minute workshop to refine your form, build strength, and unlock transitions that feel as good as they look. In this quarterly tune-up, we’ll break down the mechanics of chaturanga, reviewing common mistakes and exploring modifications and variations for every body. You'll learn how to make this posture work for you (not against your shoulders). Think: playful drills, prop magic, individualized feedback and a few spicy transitions to keep things fun. Whether you’re brand new or have been practicing for years, this is your invitation to revisit, relearn, and level up.

These are stressful and uncertain times and we need each other more than ever. This evening of yoga and meditation practices will be led by three other teachers (Amy Brightman, Jen Kuma, Yareli Quintana) and myself.

Sun Salutation Workshop // Sunday, October 6th, 2019 1-3pm at Root Yoga Seattle

In this workshop we will deconstruct the Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar), the sequence of poses on which modern vinyasa yoga is built.
This workshop will provide you with tools to modify or intensify a sun salutation to fit the individual needs of your practice. Newer practitioners will have an opportunity to break down the Sun Salutation and learn each element step-by-step, at a slower pace than in a normal class setting. More seasoned practitioners have the opportunity to refine their existing skills and deepen their knowledge of this fundamental set of poses. There will be time designated at the end of the session for questions and answers.
Attendees will leave with a short manual that includes written descriptions of each of the poses that make up a sun salutation, basic alignment principles, and a brief history of the origins of Surya Namaskar.
Prior experience practicing vinyasa yoga will be helpful, but not required.

Investment: $35 if registered by September 29th / $40 thereafter (Click button below to register.)
