Back to Foundations: Yoga Basics Workshop
October 9, 2022 • 2:00-3:30pm • Middleton
$25 (Members enjoy a 10% discount)
The Back to Foundations workshop Suki Warda (500 EYRT YACEP Graduate of Mindfulness Teacher Training with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield) will lead you through the foundational poses that are cued in a typical yoga Flow class, and create a simple yet deeper understanding of them from the inside out.
A solid core foundation is the blueprint for yoga asana and often times many other movement modalities. In this course, props and modifications will be weaved into the workshop to guide and assist you to create poses that fit your unique body versus trying to fit your body into a pose.
As your practice continues to evolve, the tools you will learn in this workshop will guide your body intelligently towards a sustainable shape that will support strength, growth and stability over time. In this workshop we will explore:
- All the warriors
- Planks
- Chatturangas with supportive modifications
- Safety in forward folds & backbends
This workshop welcomes everyone. Hope to see you there!

Seeking Balance Wellness and Yoga Workshop
November 5, 2022 • 1:00-2:30pm • Sun Prairie
$25, Members enjoy 10% off
Desperately seeking….
Balance. The middle way is one that seems to be more and more elusive. In a world filled with extremes, people report feeling discouraged, defeated, irritated and out of sorts, along with a lowered sense of a shrinking sphere of influence.
Join Jenny Worley in this 90 minute workshop exploring balance and what it can mean today. Participants will leave with practical strategies to maintain or modify their own version of balance. Those will include:
- abstract concepts such as learning a process of questioning thoughts and attachment to thoughts.
- concrete concepts such as getting specific on activities of daily life and their impact on you.
30 minutes of the workshop will be dedicated to balance asanas and breathing.
In Yoga, practice doesn’t make perfect, it makes prepared. Give yourself 90 minutes to help face the busy holiday season with a foundation of balance.
This workshop will be recorded for our Dfly On Demand service. Are you a Dfly On Demand subscriber? You will get access to the recording of this workshop at no extra charge! Not a subscriber yet? Join with a 7 day trial at dflyondemand.com!
Transitions Workshop: Safety and Strength in the movement between poses
November 6, 2022 • 2:00-4:00pm • Middleton
$25, Members enjoy 10% off
We talk a lot about poses in yoga, but we don’t often talk about safe and supportive ways to get into a pose, much less how to adapt it to our unique bodies! This workshop will change that.
In life, our points of transition can be where we are the most vulnerable – accidents occur more often during our travel than at our pint of destination. The same is true for yoga! Moving into a pose can be confusing and hard to navigate, and over time can lead to injury and stress. Our own habits of moving and being in the world can also influence how we move into poses and don’t serve our long term health and strength.
In this workshop we will explore the art of ease and strength in transitions while creating a deeper understanding of how to nurture our joints and ligaments within and in between poses. Suki will guide you through a slow flow practice, with lots of time to pause, notice, discuss and explore different ways to get into a pose to cultivate a deeper understanding of your anatomy so you can make wise choices for your body!
The topics will include and are not limited to:
- Feet placement and why it matters.
- Hip hinge in relation to lower back, shoulders & wrists.
- Why bending the knees may create more space in lower back and hamstrings over time.
- Vital safety features if you have a shoulder stand or headstand practice.
- Supporting your shoulders in Chatturanga and up dog
This workshop is for everyone from the beginner to advanced.
“My students are my teachers.”
“The best teachers are the dedicated students.”
