Advanced Ashtanga Asana Workshop

This is Eka Pada Sirsasana, a challenging pose that requires deep hip rotation and flexibility. Working with a teacher gives you the support and synergy needed to make a quantum leap in your practice.

A private session is about partnership. Here, I am providing a hands-on adjustment to help a student safely deepen their pose. This is where the real work happens, with undivided attention and guidance that helps you understand the mechanics of your own body and move past your perceived limits.

Working closely with a student to refine an advanced posture. With two teachers providing support, the student can explore the pose with an extra layer of safety and guidance. This is the benefit of personalized instruction.

A demonstration of Hanumanasana, the full splits. Ashtanga yoga is a balanced system that builds both strength and flexibility, helping me feel more energetic at 35 than I did at 25.

Using a wall to deepen the stretch in a standing split variation. Props can be incredibly helpful for exploring your range of motion safely and building the flexibility needed for more advanced poses.

Working on Karandavasana, an advanced arm balance that requires immense strength and focus. This pose has been a long journey for me, especially while rebuilding my practice postpartum. It is a reminder that yoga is a process of patient, dedicated effort, not a race to a destination.

Assisting a student with drop-backs in a studio in Pattaya, Thailand. My verbal cues guide her through the movement, helping her find the strength and confidence to come up on her own.

A clip from my home practice, moving through advanced poses from the second and third series, including leg-behind-head variations. Even when traveling, I find time to maintain my practice.

My old friends, the backbends, are returning. Six months after my C-section, my abdominal muscles finally feel strong enough to support deep backbends like Kapotasana again.
