This will be Harvey’s fifth year offering this training due to high interest! We have received great feedback from past students to improve this craft, and are ready for you to begin your therapeutic journey in 2019. This training will be a total of 150 hours, 115 contact hours and 35 non-contact hours for self-study over a spread of five months to accommodate the busy lives we lead! This course will add many of the missing and key elements to the yoga puzzle to deepen the understanding of how to use yoga as a healing modality. The teachings will be based on a sound scientific/therapeutic rationale with intuitive and artful overtones.

This training will be hosted in classic "salon-style," a conversational gathering inspired by your teacher where spirited discussion amongst your peers is deeply encouraged! Course work will be both didactic and experiential. We will study functional anatomy and biomechanics of the human body. We will learn about human physiology—how each system in the body works and how inter-related these systems are. Additionally, we will come to understand how to influence the healing of the body and mind to maintain or reach a level of homeostasis in our sacred vessel.

We will observe movement and alignment in our own bodies and have the opportunity to evaluate, treat and design a yoga-based exercise program for individuals from our community who will be part of our course of study!

Note: Upon completion of your registration, if you are interested, please send a note to Harvey on why you are interested and what you plan to do with the knowledge gained at yoga@redhawkpt.com.

Calling all movement enthusiasts! Whether you are a teacher of yoga or another movement practice, or simply a student who is curious about your own body, this 30-hour course will provide a framework for understanding human movement. Working from the inside out, we will take a look at the layers of the body while weaving in the philosophy, spirit, and purpose of Yoga.

 

Learn in a tangible way by feeling your own body in familiar asana and looking at other bodies to gain a more comprehensive understanding of posture, movement, and breath. Yoga Tune Up® Therapy Balls will assist you in creating a body map, increasing your proprioception of both individual muscles and movement patterns. This experiential approach allows clinical language and scientific concepts to become relatable, meaningful, and applicable to your practice and your teaching. You will build the skills that create mobility, flexibility, and versatility of body, mind, and spirit. These tools will help you get stronger, move more efficiently, and embody the spirit of yoga on and off the mat.

 

This course is an invaluable tool for yoga teachers and serious students alike. It will enrich your practice and inspire your teaching. Teachers will gain the awareness to see bodies more clearly, sequence more effectively, and offer more precise and accessible instructions. All participants will gain insights towards a sustainable movement practice and overall optimal health by improving posture, creating balanced movement, and more efficient breathing all while connecting the deeper meaning of yoga to your practice.

Heart opening requires vulnerability and strength—sometimes seemingly incompatible actions in our yoga practice. Learn how to melt these two yoga actions together by receiving the support of the wall ropes and the strength they engender to expand your back bending practice and fly with an open heart

Benefits:
o Refine your back bending alignment with the precision of the wall ropes
o Learn how to soften into heart opening instead of muscling through it with the support of the wall ropes
o Connect to your heart energy and elevate your mood to support your self-care practice

This workshop is open to those who are new to wall ropes!

These workshops are for women and men with the intention to create equilibrium within ourselves. Our life challenges and attraction of obstacles stem from a lack of belief that we can harness our own internal vibration as a whole masculine and a whole feminine. In these workshops, we will call in the healing of the divine whole masculine and whole feminine inside each of us, so we can manifest and co-create a reality that is more vibrant, healing, and holistic.

In these workshops, we will experience the teachings of Kundalini Yoga for masculine and feminine energies and identities from Yogi Bhajan. We will invoke the Aquarian Feminine, which is courageous, powerful, conscious, successful, and vital, and the Aquarian Masculine, which is conscious with its words, kind, generous, and full of love. It is about internal vibration, no matter what gender we are or what background we are from. Through the diversity of human expression and human experience, we will come to equilibrium with the cosmic energies inside us all so they may work for us, not against us, as we live our mission on the planet.

 

 

Twists, hip openers, inversions, kriyas, and deep core work will help facilitate energetic shifts in the mind and body. In preparation for the workshop, it is important to note that we’re “gonna make you sweat” like C+C music factory (but don’t worry, we won’t make you wear pleather pants). The room will be heated to between 85 and 90 degrees to facilitate the flushing out of toxins, so come well hydrated and with an empty belly. Prepare to leave feeling lighter and more energized!

 

Greet the New Year from a grounded, rested place as you release into this deliciously peaceful and rejuvenating practice. Let go of lofty New Year's resolutions and celebrate the richness of where you presently are within the nurturing stillness of Restorative Yoga. The focus of this practice is to create a foundation of mental, emotional and physical support for the year ahead. 

We'll explore various supported poses to cleanse the organs, strengthen the immune system, soothe the nerves, invigorate the body, quiet the mind and celebrate the spirit. While the body rests comfortably, we'll weave in simple breathing techniques, lovingkindness and mindfulness meditations that we can draw on for clarity, presence and strength throughout the coming year.

Yoga is an excellent way to prepare the mind, body and spirit for the many transitions of pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood. In this workshop, you will learn techniques for breath awareness, partner poses and massage, which can help strengthen and relax your body, and sooth your mind during the birth process.

Additionally, these approaches will give you the opportunity to connect more deeply to yourself, your partner and your baby. We will also explore visualization and relaxation techniques that can further assist you during childbirth.

Please eat a light meal one hour before class, and bring a snack.

This session is limited to 21 couples and sells out up to two months in advance; pre-registration is REQUIRED. 

 

Stacey will hold healing space and guide you through a full body roll out to relieve tightness and provide fresh insights into your body. Unburden overworked muscles, disarm accumulated stress and tension, and roll your way to more freedom of movement. You'll leave with your body and mind feeling liberated and refreshed.

Whether you are a yogi, an athlete, or a desk-jockey, you can learn how to offer your well-deserving body the gift of self-massage. And you will learn the tools and techniques you can use anytime, anywhere, to roll your way to relaxation and relief.

The best thing about handstand is that its precariousness forces one to pay close attention to what they’re doing; it’s a pose that tricks a person into presence.

The second best thing about handstand is that it’s a factory of feeling; the body glimmers with life.

The third best thing about handstand is that it breeds structural integrity; the fundamentals of alignment create a sense of continuity in the body.

The fourth best thing about handstand is that, if you can do it, you’re basically enlightened and immortal and can be on the cover of various esteemed periodicals.

Open and tune into the pelvic floor, while igniting the strength, suppleness and juiciness within this in this mysterious and powerful part of our bodies. You’ll learn how to use gentle and restorative yoga poses, along with yogic breathing, sounding and simple meditation techniques to deepen your connection to your pelvic floor muscles. This practice can be very useful in releasing tension and trauma; decreasing discomfort and dysfunction; while increasing circulation, relaxation, optimal function, strength and pleasure throughout our lives. As we become more embodied, the pleasurable possibilities increase! This exploration is open to self-identified women of all ages and life stages, and is especially relevant for the preconception, prenatal and postpartum times.
