New skool ashtanga values the genius of old school ashtanga poses, sequencing, and intentionality of breath - without the old school asana fundamentalism that fuels insidious competition around physical abilities. New skool ashtanga emphasizes the joy of practice - the creativity, love, and self-realization that’s cultivated in an atmosphere of infinite possibilities. New skool ashtanga includes subtle energy experiencing not only through linking ujjayi breath with a dynamic sequence of asanas, but also through pranayama that punctuates particular parts of practice.
Release your day in a slow kind of way with Sunset Slowdown. This yang to yin style offering invites you to first dynamically engage your body to relieve tension built up through the day, then surrender into longer holds that promote the peace and relaxation your body-mind craves.
This evening of music making is open to everyone! No experience is necessary - just an open mind and heart to allow creativity to flow. Come to join the jam session or to simply enjoy the creative space. Feel free to bring a meal or snacks! This is an event for everyone!
Rise and shine for your body and mind. This offering integrates yin and yang aspects of asana and pranayama practice to optimize energetic vitality and presence. Feel into the freshness of all kinds of new beginnings and endings, and explore the magnitude of your limitless potential.
Meditation can be beneficial at any time of day, but there’s something beautiful about beginning the day mindfully with meditation. We do not advocate any particular method of meditation and our regular meditators practice a variety of meditation methods, including single-pointed concentration, open awareness meditation, and prayer. If you're new to meditation, focusing on your breath can be a beautiful starting point for your practice.
Like new skool ashtanga, community led ashtanga is a postural practice that links breath and movement in a dynamic sequence of poses. We follows the primary sequence of postures - about 75 incredible poses that are repeated during every practice session. Each posture is held for a certain number of breaths (about 5) and includes transitional movements into and out of the poses. However, in community led ashtanga, there is no authority per se who’s “authorized” to officiate the group practice. Instead, we facilitate communally, with multiple practitioners offering sequencing and alignment cues during practice.
Yang yoga is a vitalizing postural practice that optimizes energetic activation. It works muscles and the cardiovascular system through intense rhythm and repetition. Yang yoga tends to be a fast, moving, dynamic asana practice, like vinyasa flow, that builds strength and increases stamina. It can ease body tension and calm mind stress through synchronized movement that allows the body to release gross and subtle energetic blocks.
Yin yoga is a gentle, slow-paced postural yoga practice where poses are held for extended periods of time. Three-minute holds are not uncommon. Most yin yoga poses are seated or supine. The sustained traction of yin yoga reaches deep connective tissue, stretching and stimulating fascia, tendons, and ligaments – especially when muscles are not engaged. With muscles relaxed, the connective tissues around joints can be accessed without interference at a deeper level, allowing them to be remodeled and revitalized.

This offering supports connection to your own inner wisdom - utilizing both pranayama and mindfulness techniques to guide you inward. You’re invited to connect to the heart center and your own subtle energies. Go with the flow and allow your intuition to be your guide.

Chair yoga is a gentle postural yoga practice that uses the support of a chair. The practice typically begins with gentle movements of the head, neck, and shoulders with emphasis on linking the breath with the movements. Sun salutations and warrior sequences follow, all while seated. After a series of hip openers, forward folds, and inversions in the chair, the practice usually ends with mindfulness meditation and offerings of gratitude and thanksgiving.

Meditation can be beneficial at any time of day, but there’s something beautiful about beginning the day mindfully with meditation. We do not advocate any particular method of meditation and our regular meditators practice a variety of meditation methods, including: dharana (single-pointed concentration), dhyana-maha (meditating on every-thingness with loving-kindness practice), dhyana-abava (meditating on no-thingness with open awareness practice), and mantra (invoking sacred energies).
It’s not everyday you get to practice with and learn from a meditation adept whose compassion is boundless. You have to experience it to believe it. Kusalamula Bhikkhu’s presence is a real force of wisdom and love. The opportunity to connect with him is a gift and the invitation is open for you to join us. Our time together will include group meditation guided by Kusalamula Bhikkhu and time to ask him questions.
New skool ashtanga values the genius of old school ashtanga poses, sequencing, and intentionality of breath - without the old school asana fundamentalism that fuels insidious competition around physical abilities. New skool ashtanga emphasizes subtle energy experiencing not only by linking ujjayi breath with a dynamic sequence of asanas, but also through pranayama interludes that punctuate particular parts of the yoga practice. New skool ashtanga follows the same sequence of postures practiced in primary series ashtanga - about 75 incredible poses that are repeated during every practice session - with a few additions and modifications - including back-bending postures that balance the forward-folding bias of primary series ashtanga.
New skool ashtanga values the genius of old school ashtanga poses, sequencing, and intentionality of breath - without the old school asana fundamentalism that fuels insidious competition around physical abilities. New skool ashtanga emphasizes the joy of practice - the creativity, love, and self-realization that’s cultivated in an atmosphere of infinite possibilities. New skool ashtanga includes subtle energy experiencing not only through linking ujjayi breath with a dynamic sequence of asanas, but also through pranayama that punctuates particular parts of practice.
Yin yoga is a gentle, slow-paced postural yoga practice where poses are held for extended periods of time. Three-minute holds are not uncommon. Most yin yoga poses are seated or supine. The sustained traction of yin yoga reaches deep connective tissue, stretching and stimulating fascia, tendons, and ligaments – especially when muscles are not engaged. With muscles relaxed, the connective tissues around joints can be accessed without interference at a deeper level, allowing them to be remodeled and revitalized.
Yang yoga is a vitalizing postural practice that optimizes energetic activation. It works muscles and the cardiovascular system through intense rhythm and repetition. Yang yoga tends to be a fast, moving, dynamic asana practice, like vinyasa flow, that builds strength and increases stamina. It can ease body tension and calm mind stress through synchronized movement that allows the body to release gross and subtle energetic blocks.
This is a gentle yoga practice emphasizing deep stretches held for long periods of time in a peaceful space. Come and join us if you’d like to let go of tension, refresh your body-mind, and cultivate conditions for a relaxing weekend.
Like new skool ashtanga, community led ashtanga is a postural practice that links breath and movement in a dynamic sequence of poses. We follows the primary sequence of postures - about 75 incredible poses that are repeated during every practice session. Each posture is held for a certain number of breaths (about 5) and includes transitional movements into and out of the poses. However, in community led ashtanga, there is no authority per se who’s “authorized” to officiate the group practice. Instead, we facilitate communally, with multiple practitioners offering sequencing and alignment cues during practice.

Chair yoga is a gentle postural yoga practice that uses the support of a chair. The practice typically begins with gentle movements of the head, neck, and shoulders with emphasis on linking the breath with the movements. Sun salutations and warrior sequences follow, all while seated. After a series of hip openers, forward folds, and inversions in the chair, the practice usually ends with mindfulness meditation and offerings of gratitude and thanksgiving.
