Ian (DJ Hyfi) believes that bliss is our birth right and will be weaving together a tapestry of tunes, in his live DJ mix, that he feels are reflective of that state of being. Come soak up the vibe and dive deep into your asana!

Ian Hyman (DJ Hyfi) has been an avid student of yoga and spirituality since meeting the shaman who turned him onto his path. He’s passionate about empowering people through dance, music, yoga, and teaching spiritual concepts. He received his Yoga Teacher certification from Kripalu, and completed his Thai Bodywork training from the Lotus Palm School of Thai Bodywork. Through his training in Martial Arts & Tai Chi, Ian discovered freestyle dance and found that it could be used as a powerful tool for enhancing energy flow and awareness. Toward that end he created Prana Dance, a class that brings people together to explore their body’s inner wisdom. Taking his love for music into the yoga scene as a DJ has been his main focus recently. In his live DJ mixes, Ian aspires to create an atmosphere that will move people to dive deep into their yoga practice and embrace who they are at the core.

Some of us have a spine like cooked linguini and don’t need to think about backbending. Some of us begin to hyperventilate when we attempt basic backbends. In this workshop we will break down individual elements that allow us to backbend with control and comfort. Working with partners we will explore shoulders, hip flexors our front, our foundation and our breath. All levels, all styles of practitioners.
