Gentle Yoga is gaining popularity because it gives the body the stress reduction it needs to heal and be at ease.

Holy Cow Yoga Center has always loved offering a gentler approach to Yoga along side our more vigorous classes. We are proud to host a weekend training on Gentle Yoga with Ursel Harmon, 500 RYT. Ursel will share an in-depth knowledge of how to work with this growing demographic.

Join Ursel Harmon, E-RYT 500 for this hands-on, experiential training, which participants will learn the gentle sequencing of restorative yoga techniques and modifications. We look at traditional poses, developing the skills needed to support students at every level of practice in finding health, wholeness and evenness of mind.

Friday: 7-9pm (optional) | Saturday: 11-6pm | Sunday: 8-1pm

We will breakdown Sun Salutes in their varying forms and then apply the understanding of flow classes. We will also explore the two girdles of shoulders and hips as well as the philosophical approach of flow of the breath and mind as it relates to the Ashtanga (8 fold path).

We are so excited to have international Yoga teacher, Doug Keller, back for a fabulous weekend of study. He take us into the tradition of Hatha Yoga for wellness in the 21st century. This weekend is about learning and doing the fundamental practices of pranayama and connecting them to our yoga practice — and more than that, it is about providing context, understanding, and appreciation of how deeply relevant these practices can be to health challenges we face today. VIRTUAL & IN-STUDIO

Most people involved in yoga are aware of the ancient yoga text, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Few, however, are familiar with the texts of the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and Gheranda Samhita. Join Trace Sahaja for a two-day immersion which will serve as a retreat, exploring these ancient text combining journaling, drawing, singing, lecture, movement, relaxation and meditation. Open to all levels

Sthira to Samadhi: Static and Flow

As the body flows, we can cultivate a steadiness in the mind. It is through this steadiness of mind that we may reach the objective state of Samadhi. During this module, we learn to find our feet (pada bandha) as we ground to find steadiness (sthira). We will explore the variations, structure, and alignment of the standing asanas. We will also break down Surya Namaskar and learn to create flowing sequences by weaving various standing poses into the sun salutation.

Open to all levels and beginners, this is a foundational weekend of learning about meditation and mindfulness, as well as experiential practices and inspiring lectures with Trace Sahaja Bonner E-RYT500, Rhonda Swickert, PhD, and Dr. Andrew Huchingson.

During this workshop, we will focus on asanas that relate to the traditional Vinyasa of Hatha Yoga (Down Dog, Up Dog, Chaturanga, etc.), as well as other postures that can heighten our sensitivity to the present moment. We will also explore sequencing, themes, and methods of consciously weaving Vinyasa into an inspiring class.

We are excited to offer our first in-person guest teacher since March 2020!

Yoga teachings refer to the vayus, or winds of the body. Mastering these winds, gives us lift and us to experience lightness.
