Fischer Room, Country Inn

Let’s dive in together for an expanding physical practice that not only challenges our bodies but opens our minds with targeted breathing practices for optimum health and athletic performance. As men, we often don’t take personal inventory of our health, our relationships, and our personal best practices -- more frequently operating in a GSD (get sh*t done) mode. Today, we will use our practice as a linchpin to realign and set our center. We’ll be targeting shoulders, hips, hams, and strength in this joyous morning practice. The practice is open to all levels. If your body is tight, you are encouraged to bring yoga blocks.

Hands On: Adjusting Through the Lens of Elemental Action

Saturday June 14, 2025 8:00am - 9:30am EDT

Greylock Hall

In this 90 minute teachers practice, we will look at many bodies in several different shapes and address each person's individual needs dependent upon what the body presents. This will assume you have some experience with putting your hands on students and are looking to train your eye to see what exactly each body needs. We will analyze where the body needs more (or less) earth, more (or less) fire, more fluidity, less rigidity, more breath or more space. The result is using hands on adjusting beyond a 101 perspective; you will refine your ability to make the time you spend in a students’ space feel unique , satisfying and revelatory.

With our cultural obsession with our bottoms, you'd think that the buns would have a better sense of themselves. But with most hours of the day spent with a seat stuck to the tush, hips are begging for new movement options. Many bodies have a difficult time fully sensing the position and activation of the tissues that support the backside of the pelvis. This “darkside of the moon” will be explored through rolling and unforgettable activation exercises that are a true treat for your seat.

Embark on a transformative journey with Slackline Yoga, a practice that redefines your sense of balance and mental focus.

Experience a moving meditation that engages your complete body awareness, taking your yoga practice to a new level of mindfulness and equilibrium.
In this 90-minute 'Slackshop,' we will explore the foundational elements of the Slackasana series. The class is designed to cater to all skill levels, offering a supportive and inclusive environment for everyone from beginners to seasoned practitioners. You will learn the basics, including kneeling, sitting, standing, an arm balance and an inversion. Yes, you read correctly!
Slackline Yoga is not just for yogis; it's for everyone - climbers, couch potatoes, athletes, and anyone seeking a new form of physical and mental discipline. It's an invitation to take your yoga practice off the traditional mat and into a space where balance meets meditation.
No previous experience with slacklining or yoga is necessary. Come join us in this engaging and enlightening Slackshop, where every step on the line is a step towards greater mindfulness and poise.

Yoga for the 4th Trimester

Saturday June 14, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am EDT

Clark Room, Country Inn

In this 60 minute workshop, you'll be guided through breathwork and postnatal sequencing designed to recharge the postpartum body and mind.

The fourth trimester is just as important for a mother’s health as the first three trimesters, yet that is often when mothers have the least interaction with their health care team.

Only 40% of moms attend their postpartum follow-up visit. Why? It’s an overwhelming time and often gets pushed to the back burner.

A traditional checklist for a PP visit includes physical recovery (Have the tears healed? Are the C/S stitches healing? Warning signs for something serious, like an infection, Diastasis recti?), mental recovery, sexual health/family planning and diet/exercise.

The six-week checkup is a green light to slowly get back into fitness, not run a marathon. The abdominal fascia has only regained 51-59% of its original strength by six weeks, and between 75-94% at 6-7 months.

If breastfeeding, the hormone, Relaxin, is still in your body, making you more prone to tissue injury. Combine that with urinary incontinence, exhaustion and care for the baby.

Need to bring your baby to class? No worries! We can work through mom and me sequences as well.

Arm balances are some of the most fun, exciting, and challenging poses of the yoga practice. Most also require flexible hips—a place many of us have tightness. Don’t let that deter you from starting arm balance practice now. Finding hip flexibility is more than simply stretching and waiting to achieve the elasticity we desire. With Matt, we explore techniques to find our fullest range of motion through optimal skeletal alignment and muscular engagement for deep, isometric hip strengtheners. We will also develop a true sense of our core and how its location, stability and strength relate to our arms and hips.

Exploring Balance and Connection in Dual Dimensions
In this Two-In-One workshop, we invite you to experience the interplay of slacklining and AcroYoga, exploring the same poses in two distinct forms. Depending on the pose, we may start on the slackline, mastering balance and focus, and then transition to experiencing that same pose with a partner in AcroYoga. Alternatively, we might begin with AcroYoga, harnessing the power of connection and alignment, before taking those skills to the slackline.
This approach allows us to start with the most accessible variation of each pose, ensuring a comfortable and confident entry point for all practitioners. Whether it's finding your center on the slackline or learning to trust and align with a partner, we'll explore each pose in the way that's most intuitive and enlightening for the group.
Our journey is not just about mastering poses but about understanding how balance, trust, and alignment translate differently in solo and partnered practices. This workshop is perfect for those curious about both slacklining and AcroYoga, providing a harmonious blend of both disciplines.
No prior experience is needed in either slacklining or AcroYoga. This class is designed to be an open, exploratory space where everyone, regardless of their background, can discover new aspects of balance and connection. Join us in this engaging exploration, where each pose is an opportunity to learn, grow, and see your practice in a new light.

Fertility Yoga is the groundbreaking work that explores the different yoga techniques that balance our hormones and release our stress. By releasing our stress our bodies are better able to function with our reproductive needs. Yoga helps with fertility in a number of ways: through stress reduction, encouraging hormonal balance, helping people with their mental health, and helping with pain relief. Yoga is also known to help boost endorphins. The same way that women get balancing of the hormones, a man can also see improvement of sperm production practicing yoga. There have been studies that show that doing fertility yoga during Ivf or art helps increase the chances of getting pregnant as well. Yoga is also helpful for relaxing the muscles of the hips and pelvis to promote a healthy pregnancy. When teaching each fertility yoga class the class ends with a discussion and meditation involving balancing the chakras associated with fertility. This way every pathway is focused on in this fertility yoga class.

Breath, movement, and music unite as ONE. Each workshop has a choreographed sequence that flows to a specific piece of music and is broken down into segments throughout the class in order to fully marry the movement with the musicality. To truly feel in sync, a common intention is set, the volume of the music goes up and we move as one!

Remember to Surrender: The Yoga of Deep Acceptance

Saturday June 14, 2025 4:00pm - 5:30pm EDT

Potter Brothers

The Tantric definition of surrender is our ability to accept what is as it is. This is never easy as most of us live in the “full catastrophe” of life. Yet yoga, as the practice of self-love, helps us love our body, mind, and heart just as we are. It’s the practice of bringing more acceptance and compassion for all of our struggles and to see the deeper intention which is always sourced in goodness. During this workshop, you’ll explore how to let go of the negative conditioning that gets in your way and bring a deeper acceptance to every part of you – shadow, light, and every shade of grey in between. Practice includes standing poses, hip openers, backbends, partner work, mantra chanting, and a deep relaxation.
