Explore the balance of strength and flexibility in this focused Hips & Splits workshop designed to support deeper, more efficient movement in the lower body.
You’ll begin with a guided hip-opening flow to gradually awaken the muscles and create space in the joints. From there, the workshop shifts into a progressive approach to mobility training—helping you actively build strength while increasing range of motion in the hips and hamstrings.

This session is suitable for all levels, whether full splits are your goal or you’re simply looking to move with greater ease and resilience.
You can expect to:
Learn how to safely increase flexibility by strengthening muscles through their full range.
Improve joint health and function through targeted, controlled movements.
Explore how the hamstrings support both mobility and stability in lower body movement.
Work through accessible stages that meet you where you are and build over time.
Move beyond passive stretching into techniques that create long-term results.
Develop a better understanding of how your body moves to reduce strain and improve efficiency.
Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to train flexibility in a sustainable way, along with practical exercises that can be continued independently. Expect to feel stronger, more open, and more connected to your movement potential.

The full moon can be a meaningful time for reflection and reset. Its natural cycle offers a helpful reminder to pause, reflect, release, and create more balance in both body and mind.
A full moon practice can also awaken our creativity and inner clarity. Whether you are working on creative projects or seeking fresh perspectives on life’s challenges, this is a beautiful time to let go of stagnant energy and make space for insight and renewal.
In this class, you will unwind and reset through slow, grounding yoga postures, allowing the body to open and the nervous system to settle. You will then move into a deeply restful Yoga Nidra—a guided, meditative relaxation that supports effortless release, inner healing, and integration.
This practice invites all to soften, to listen inward, and to welcome the spaciousness that the full moon brings.
You’re welcome to bring an eye pillow or anything that adds to your comfort.
