Pilates was first introduced as a rehabilitative tool, with many of the classical exercises having their roots in yoga poses. Learn about the history of Pilates, and exercises which relate to familiar yoga poses and preparations. Experience how these two mind-body practices compliment each other in preventative and therapeutic ways to support core strength, balance, mobility, body awareness, and more.  

Tension lives in the body—but it can also be released. This two-hour workshop explores the science and practice of releasing deeply held tension through an integrated approach combining yoga therapy, fascia-based somatic movement, breathwork, and TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises).Drawing from both modern research and embodied practices, you’ll learn how stress, posture, injury, and lived experience can become stored within the body—and how specific tools can help support safe, gradual release of tension and nervous system regulation.

Rest is not passive. It is a skill, a practice, and a profound physiological reset for the nervous system.This afternoon workshop offers a deep dive into the practice of Restorative Yoga, drawing from the Iyengar lineage of Judith Hanson Lasater—one of the  world’s most influential teachers of restorative practice—whose approach has shaped how this method is understood and taught globally. Rooted in Iyengar-informed prop use, applied physiology, and nervous system regulation, this session explores how carefully supported postures can guide the body into a state of true rest—where holding, doing, and effort begin to dissolve. You’ll be guided through a series of fully supported restorative postures designed to cultivate down-regulation, ease, and integration after the morning’s exploration of tension release work. Together, these sessions form a powerful pairing: first understanding release, then learning how to rest into what is released. This is an invitation to slow down in a way that is structured, intentional, and deeply nourishing to the subtle connections between the body, breath, mind, and emotions.
