Weekend Yoga Seminars

Standard weekend seminars are designed to include students of all levels; from beginners, to mixed groups, to advanced practitioners. During a weekend seminar, the foundations of ExTension & Recovery Yoga are first explored. Appropriate for any and all levels of flexibility, strength, and endurance, the foundations allow for further exploration without pain or strain. Meeting every students' needs, standard and non-standard yoga exercises are dissected and put back together in a way that meets everyone's needs, from beginners to advanced students: No one feels left out.

Throughout the weekend, participants are continually asked to consider two fundamental questions: What is Yoga and How does it feel? Through a supportive and caring environment, your basic assumptions about yoga exercises are often confronted and interestingly enough, the more experienced you are, the more you are challenged.

Teacher Training Seminars

Typically given over three, four, or five days, these seminars are designed for yoga teachers and serious students. Teacher Trainings explore in depth, the hows and whys of an appropriate yoga practice. For more detailed information, please click on: Teacher Training and Teacher Training Outline.

Residential Retreats

From time-to-time, we are asked if we would do an extended residential retreat or training in a full-board facility. Although we no longer organize retreats and seminars ourselves, we are usually willing to accommodate such requests. Please email us to discuss the proposed location and type of retreat desired.

Yoga Therapy Seminars

Typically given over a ten-hour weekend, Yoga Therapy Seminars are specifically designed for licensed professionals including massage therapists, nurses, physical therapists, chiropractors, physicians, and yoga teachers who are legally entitled to make hands-on contact with students. Here we explore the remedial application of yoga and specific hands-on neuromuscular therapeutic techniques which are designed to jump-start a chronically injured or ill patient's ability to do yoga.

Lectures and Guest Speaking

We are available for lectures and as guest speakers for subjects such as "Yoga for Westerners," "Yoga in a Therapeutic Setting," "Using Yoga as a Tool for Self-Responsibility in Chronic Illness," and "Using Yoga to Enhance your Relationship."

Travel Event FEES for Seminars, Teacher Trainings, and Retreats

For standard seminars, teacher trainings, and retreats, our fee is the "industry" standard 70-30 split of the net income after organizational expenses are deducted. Typically, there are no travel charges as we are passing through your area in our RV. Travel expenses are negotiated if you want us to deviate from our existing travel itinerary.

Standard Seminars are ten hours in length and are typically given Saturday and Sunday with five hours each day; three hours each morning and two hours each afternoon. 

Some organizers prefer starting the seminar Friday evening (two hours) followed by five hours on Saturday (three hours in the morning and two in the afternoon) followed by three hours Sunday morning.

The number of teaching hours for Retreats and Teacher Trainings is negotiable.

The 70-30 split is calculated after all of your organizational expenses have been deducted from the total amount collected. There are usually no accommodation expenses as we like to stay in our own RV. Organizational expenses include advertising, room rental, and any extra transportation costs not associated with our own travel itinerary.

In order to support your workshop, and when time permits, we are willing to do publicity; i.e., radio, television, or newspaper interviews, at no additional charge. 

Please be sure to review your deposit requirements.

Lecture & Guest Speaker FEES

Our charge for lectures and guest speaking is a flat $2500 per day or part of a day which includes the day(s) of my travel and appearance, plus all travel and accommodation expenses not associated with our own travel itinerary, including travel surcharge if any. See  deposit requirements.

Private Lessons or NeuroMuscular Therapy During Seminars

During seminars and retreats, Sam is frequently asked to give yoga therapy for those in chronic pain. I schedule such appointments when time permits. Although I receive $90 per appointment, you as the organizer may charge your people more and keep the difference between what you charge and my fee
