Why Workshops?

Personal Growth

Workshops are in-depth, educational classes geared to help you grow in your personal practice. Depending on the topic, workshops can be appropriate for brand new to very seasoned yogis. There is frequently less flow, and more time to digest the information or techniques presented, as compared to a “regular” class. We invite renowned teachers of Yoga and other like-minded practices from all over the country to teach workshops here at Asha Yoga. Like all our teachers, you can be secure in the knowledge that our workshop leaders offer instruction that comes from a solid education fused with a personal passion for yoga.

Advanced Study for Teachers

We offer many workshops that focus on the craft of teaching yoga. Not only can you attend a Yoga Alliance approved 200 hour Teacher Training with Cori Martinez and other Master Teachers here, but you can continue to expand your studies through intensive personal practices geared toward advanced students and teachers of Yoga.

Healthy Body, Healthy Mind: Yoga & Ayurveda with Melina Meza

Saturday, May 19th 1-3pm, MIDTOWN STUDIO

As unique beings we all have different hopes, fears, conditioning, expectations, and agendas around our health. The more familiar you are with your Prakriti (unique constitution), the more you can prepare yourself for the physical and mental health issues that typically affect people with your constitution. In this lecture and asana practice, Melina will focus on the role that agni (physical and mental digestive fire), ama (toxic residue), and bandhas (energetic and/or physical locks) have in promoting or preventing sukkha (sweet space), which ultimately leads to a healthy body and mind.

Seasonal Cleansing with Melina Meza

Saturday, May 19th 4-6pm, MIDTOWN STUDIO

Within the art and science of Yoga and Ayurveda, there are endless ways to rediscover the body’s innate wisdom and the inherent joy and healthfulness of living in balance from season to season. The more you practice adapting to new routines and seasonally breaking the momentum of habits, the stronger, healthier, and more open you become as a person. In this workshop, Melina will share her seasonal rhythms and detoxification practices, nutritional insights, and suggest daily routines that will help you align with the external environment. All levels welcome.

The Power of Intention: On & Beyond the Mat with Max Strom

Workshop
Sunday, July 22nd, 10am-12pm, MIDTOWN STUDIO

Just as hydrogen and oxygen, depending on how they are mixed together, can produce either fire or water, posture practice and intention and breath depending on how they mixed together can produce either “just exercise” or can revolutionize our lives. This flowing workshop begins very gently and then builds momentum. At the apex of heat and breath we move directly into a special sequence of postures, which bring the mind into stillness and the body into a new state of energy. This class is both challenging and very healing.

Registration Price: $50 each class, $95 for both

The Healing Power of Forgiveness with Max Strom

Workshop
Sunday, July 22nd, 2pm-4:30pm, MIDTOWN STUDIO

Forgiveness is perhaps the most powerful tool we have for healing ourselves. To forgive another, heals oneself, just as anger toward another poisons oneself. Anger and resentment destroy our lives. For the body to heal, often times what is most vital is to heal the broken heart or spirit. Failure to forgive affects our stress level, power to heal the body, discernment, and all our relationships. The first part of this seminar is a powerful lecture on forgiving others, the second part will address forgiving oneself, and the third part include gentle yoga movement, breathing exercises, and guided meditation with emphasis on emotional transformation. Bring your mat and writing materials. Appropriate for all levels.

Cost: $50 each class, $95 for both
