· Standing poses are the bedrock of a strong and balanced yoga practice. They teach us how to ground through the feet, align through the spine, and rise through the crown with stability and ease. In this immersive weekend, we’ll explore these foundational shapes not only from a physical perspective, but through the subtle lens of the chakra system—a map of energy centers that align along the spine and influence our body, mind, and spirit.
· You’ll learn how to build standing poses from the ground up—refining everything from foot placement to energetic extension—while cultivating a deeper sense of presence and inner steadiness.
· Each day includes:
· Deep Practice (12:30–2:30 PM):
A breath-centered asana class that dives into essential standing postures, with focused attention on alignment, anatomical integrity, and energetic embodiment. We’ll explore how each pose supports the qualities of specific chakras—from the grounding stability of Muladhara to the expansive clarity of Sahasrara.
· Interactive Lab (3:00–5:00 PM):
A hands-on session to break down poses, explore modifications, and integrate props and adjustments. You’ll gain tools for sequencing, teaching, and refining your own practice with confidence. Ideal for yoga teachers, trainees, and dedicated students.
· On Sunday Leslie will introduce working with the chakra system as a subtle guide for alignment and transformation. These vibrating centers of energy, arranged along the spine, influence our physical, psychological, and energetic health. When balanced, prana flows freely along the nadis—supporting vitality, insight, and resilience.
· Whether you're a newer student or an experienced practitioner, this weekend will help you stand taller, move with intention, and connect to the deeper currents of energy within.
Root down. Rise up. Align from the inside out.
