Come Learn All About Pranayama (Breathwork)!

Pranayama (working with breath) is one of the most underrated and underestimated practices in yoga. This is because it often takes some focused time to understand it properly. We will take this time in this workshop to give you a solid foundation for practicing Pranayama.

Working with your breath gives you direct access to your nervous system. It is like having a switch to your state of mind. This practice can reveal a subtle aspect of life and nature that can be experienced in no other way through working with the vital energy of the body (Prana).

Energetic Alignment SAT Feb 24th 4 - 7:30pm w/ Alex

The best yoga alignment is not about the position of your body, but rather the tone or energy in your body. The outdated notion of alignment as position assumes that a human being in a yoga pose is only a skeleton and thus the skeleton should “stack”; however, what this perspective misses is that a human being is also fascia and a nervous system. This means that Alignment that Transforms Your Life is Energetic.

Get an introduction to this revolutionary way of orienting to the body in this workshop. Let Alex be your guide to opening completely new doors to your practice!

Happy Points, Happy Joints : Yoga Workshop
SAT Jan 24th 4pm - 7:30pm w/ Alex

Are you new to yoga and looking for an Alignment Primer? This workshop will teach you all the alignment basics you need to have a happy body for a quality, sustainable yoga practice.

Perhaps you have a long time yoga practice and want to get clarity on how to take good care of your body in every practice. This workshop will be a comprehensive look and foundational yoga alignment.

This will not be a cookie cutter workshop that teaches alignment as if trying to fit you into a box of placing your body parts in “proper” location. Here’s a yoga insight: There is no Universal Proper Location. This is because we are all anatomically unique. It is easy to think otherwise because most people learn Anatomy from a book and books rarely show this kind of variation, but real human beings are a little different from each other. It is odd that most of us see visible uniqueness on the outside (like individual faces that do not look alike), yet we assume uniformity inside.

Thus Alignment will look different for different bodies. Does this mean it’s impossible to understand alignment or that it will take some PhD level Anatomical Study? Not at all. Alex will simplify anatomical variations so not only will you know how to align your body in common yoga poses, but understand how to align yoga poses that you have never seen before.

We suggest you bring some note taking materials.

The Power of Attention : SAT 5 - 7:30pm w/ Alex

There are so many things to focus on during practice that it could lead a person to treating yoga like a list of tasks. Like a drill sergeant, you are telling your body what to do as if your body were a machine or brain taxi.

But you will notice that this is very much of “every day task brain” and often the opposite state of being that are your best, most connected moments. The difference between these two is in how we use our attention. The every-day / task-master mind is the mind that navigates the domain of infinite distraction. The AT-ONE Mind, where mind & body are not so separate, is where the magic happens.

How do we get from the every-day / task-master mind to AT-ONE mind? The bad news is that it’s a process. This means that there’s nothing you can read on the screen that will get you there. The good news is that it’s a process that you can be lead in. This will be the focus of our workshop.

Let Alex lead you through a series of yoga poses, breath, and attention exercises designed to land you in AT-ONE mind, where ease of being resets your body, mind, and soul.

Every breath impacts your nervous system and thus your mood. Yoga Practice is better with Breath.

This workshop will take a strong focus on breath (what the ancient yogis considered the primary mode of “Life Force” or Prana) in both yoga postures (Asana) and breath focused exercises (Pranayama).

Expect to have a full set of new tools for your regular yoga practice and end the practice with a sustainable shift in your state of being. Instructor: Alex Pfeiffer

This Workshop is the Final Workshop of the Flow Yoga Deep Dive Intensive Weekend

WARNING: This Workshop is NOT Available to Everyone. Since the purpose of this Workshop is to Integrate and Deepen upon what has been introduced in the earlier weekend workshops, we will be requiring that all attendees either:

• Attend At Least Two Workshops from earlier in the Weekend (though more are recommended).

• Get Instructor Approval if the above condition is not met.

  • Instructor Approval will be granted based upon your capacity to embody the deeper techniques and aspects of yoga beyond the athleticism of yoga. Flexibility, Strength, Balance, Coordination, Stamina, and ability to look like a gymnast will have no bearing on this decision. It is more about your capacity to internalize your practice.

The Master Key : Gateless Gate | SUN 2:30pm - 5pm

Many of us have something in our lives that brings us into a state of flow. It may be jogging, dancing, or something else, but this state of flow often has a “stopping point” meaning that the flow state does not translate into other parts of life.

What is the nature of getting beyond the stopping point? What is the Master Key to bringing flow beyond it?

In this practice we will explore the “Gateless Gate”, a spiritual metaphor for the pivot point that allows us to bring a state of flow to all parts of our life. It is flow’s Master Key .

Under Do It : Do Less, Be More | SUN 11am - 1pm

“Don’t Overdo It!” is common advice. And Why Not? After all, we’ve all done something too hard or to a degree where our doing was not productive. What if most of our doing was counterproductive?

In this Workshop, we channel the spirit of the South Indian Temple Arts Tradition of Yoga. This Goddess focused umbrella of practice focuses more on the psychological impact of yoga with a practice that is intensely mind-body connected.

Note: This will not be a Restorative or Yin Workshop. This is a Flow Yoga Workshop, but we will slow down several of the artifacts of your standard flow class to allow for a more subtle, more connected, and more impactful mind-body integration.

Call Of the Wild : Reconnect to Creativity’s Roots | SAT 4:30 - 7:30pm

Much of yoga is practiced through using intention to perform a technique. When the it’s a good technique and good execution, we get positive results.

But this only embodies one part of our consciousness. More deeply, there exists a part of ourselves that is less about performing intention and more about connecting to a greater force. It is more intuitive, more instinctual, more wild, and yes…. more alive.

This is our Creative Core. Since it is not found in technique we cannot simply do it (If someone puts you on the spot and says “be creative” you’ll note that this does not work), but often we can summon it. We can call it forward and allow it to flow through us, just as you have experienced in your wildest moments of creative flow.

This class will focus on calling forward the wildness of our creative roots.

The Spiritual Warrior : Fierce Embodiment on Integrity’s Path | SAT 11am - 2pm

Some Flow comes from Inspiration, other from Creative Flow, but sometimes in Life we are asked to engage our strength. We are asked to push and make change.

This is the essence of the Warrior. It is not an accident that in the East, many Spiritual Traditions are also Warrior Traditions. From Rinzai Samurai to the Shaolin Monks, the Warrior’s Path need not be without spirit. It is the toughest moments in life that ask us to be a spiritual warrior in order to stay in flow. It is, after all, better to be a Warrior in a Garden than a Gardener in War.

This class will focus on cultivating the warrior embodiment and give you something to take away concerning your Inner Alignment and Integrity.

The Human Spark : Moved By Inspiration | FRI 6:30pm to 9:30pm

One of the most enjoyable, fulfilling, and resilient places that we can be in life is in a state of Li. “Li”, roughly translates as “purposeless purpose”. This refers to anytime that we’re in a state of doing something for no other purpose except to do it. Anytime we are in a state of true play, we are in a state of Li where every moment is fulfilling unto itself. The closest English term, might be “Inspired”.

When too many of our actions are done for a reason… to avoid the stick or gain the carrot, our depth of humanity can suffer. The more we are robots moving towards pleasure and away from pain (a necessary element of life), the more we can lose our human spark.

The Goal of this practice is to restore that human spark and arrive back home to our innate Inspiration. Join us in this play of breath & movement and reunite with your innate human spark. What makes you different than a pain/pleasure robot? Feel It & Inspire It at this Workshop.

For all the great things yoga can do for us, the traditional purpose of yoga postures & breath is to encourage Samadhi.  Samadhi is a state of meditative consciousness.  The ancient yogis referred to this as your "true self".  Today we might think of this as something like "authenticity" or "being in the zone".   

Join Alex in this workshop designed to encourage a deeper state and connection to being as we move through the traditional yogic stages between asana & samadhi by using prana, breath, and mudra/bandha, sure to reset your system and leave you in a state of connection to your ananda (bliss self).
