You may organize any type of weekend workshop you wish; from beginners only to advanced. Or you may utilize our favorite Standard Weekend Seminar that is designed to include students of all levels; from beginners, to ongoing, to teachers and advanced practitioners. During a Standard Weekend Seminar, the foundations of ExTension & Recovery Yoga are explored. Appropriate for all levels, the Foundations allow for exploration of enhanced flexibility, strength, and endurance without pain or strain. Traditional and non-traditional yoga exercises are dissected and put back together in a way that meets everyone's needs: No one feels left out.
Throughout our seminars, 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 will be challenged.
Standard Weekend Seminars are ten hours in length. They are typically given Saturday and Sunday with three hours each morning and two hours each afternoon. -or- Two hours Friday evening; three hours Saturday morning, two hours Saturday afternoon, and concluding with three hours on Sunday morning.
Typically given over three, four, or five days, these seminars are designed for yoga teachers, those who wish to become yoga teachers, and serious students. Teacher Trainings explore in depth, the hows and whys of what it means to do an appropriate yoga practice.

From time-to-time, we are asked if we would do an extended residential retreat or training in a full-board facility, oftentimes in a vacation-area environment. 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.
