“Into a blind darkness enter those devoted to ignorance, but into an even greater darkness enter those devoted to knowledge” ~Isha Upanishad~

Abhaya, or freedom from fear, sensitivity, balance, trust, increased awareness and mental clarity are just some of the qualities which blindfolded yoga can inspire. Blindfold yoga shows us how to see the world and our own practice in more intuitive and courageous ways. Experience an in depth yoga practice by candlelight and tea tasting that will elevate your senses and allow for you to let go and turn inward on your mat.

Jillian and Jennifer will guide you through fundamental postures in a creative Vinyasa Flow, empowering you to fully explore your highest potential. We will focus on linking the breath to the postures and assist you in proper alignment of your spine for power and stability.

We will explore three intermittent tea tastings for energy, grounding and relaxation throughout the practice!

All levels welcome.

Do you have more junk in your truck than you do uddiyana bandha?

Does your asana stick out like a lot in your triangle pose?

When you fold forward does the flat bed of your thighs feel like that ain’t never gonna let go?

Does chocolate milk go good with fruit loops?

You’re d@mn right it does! And we can trick out any model 2-92 and then some! So bring that clunker in and let me trick it out like the beautiful, bodacious and fine thang is was supposed to be!

We will be working on how to correctly do the postures from where your foot goes, to where you should be looking (and it ain’t at yo neighbor either!)

30 mins will be spent warming up and then there will be some Q & A, practice, and partner work.

This is a great workshop for anyone that needs to learn the basics to those that have been taking for while but have questions and haven’t felt they have had the opportunity to ask, or to just work out some of the kinks in their postures.
