Melting the Body, Waking the Mind

Here is a breakdown of the weekend…..
Yinitiation : Yin Yoga Overview w/ Valerie Hesslink
Wednesday April 22nd 7:45 - 9pm
As is the framework of Yin Yoga, we will take our time to settle in before going deep. This practice will settle you into all the beginner’s basics of Yin Yoga so that you will be ready for the deeper dives to come. 75 minute practice
Rites of Softening : Marking What Matters w/ Alex Pfeiffer
Thursday April 23rd 6:30 - 8pm
Now that you’ve settled in and reviewed the basics, we zero in on how the body unwinds when it we hold it with intention, allowing softening to become a form of emotional as well as physical release. In Yin Yoga, softening is not weakness—it is discernment.
Exploring how surrender can become a skill rather than a collapse, we will mourn, celebrate, and open to the roots of awe. 90 minute practice
From Tension to Tides : Yielding the Armor w/ Alex Pfeiffer
Friday April 24th 7 - 10pm
Now that the body has unwound, we go deep into a three-hour Friday night of pure practice of breath as a slow, tidal force that softens what has grown rigid. This workshop is a study in how subtle breath can dissolve deep layers of tension without force. 3 hour practice
Full Intensive Sign Up Here : $95 ($150 after April 13th)
Technique & Revelation : Presentation by Alex Pfeiffer
Saturday April 25th 3 - 4:30pm
Today. We give the body a break and exercise the mind. Using your previous evenings’ experience, we’ll dive into usable, practical, and poetic Yin Yoga Theory of Practice. 90 minute presentation
Yinsight : where Sensation becomes Insight w/ Alex Pfeiffer
Sunday April 26th 11am - 1pm
Armed with a complete practice toolbox & the intellectual theory of our previous four meetings, we are now ready to go deep and discover the anchors beneath habit, learning how surrender and attention transform experience into meaningful insight. This is what the entire weekend has been building to, the climax. 2 hour practice
Yintegration : the Ulitmate Yoke w/ Valerie Hesslink
Sunday April 26th 3:30 - 5:30pm
After going deep, it’s time to ease you back into your life of Monday Morning. Bringing together body, mind, and spirit after a deep journey of exploration, this is the synthesis. With gentle movement, mindful sequencing, and integrative breathwork, participants will weave the threads of previous work into a felt sense of completeness. This is the art of coming home to yourself. 2 hour practice
