Yoga Mom, Buddah Baby
Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training with Jyothi Larson

Join Jyothi Larson, author of Yoga Mom, Buddah Baby, for this weekend program that will prepare yoga teachers to conduct classes in Postnatal Yoga. These are classes that involve both parents and babies. Postnatal Yoga poses help the mother's body get back into shape in an easeful way.

Inversion Workshop with Jodie Rufty
"Letting Go Of Fear"

Inversions make us stronger. They improve strength in our spines and upper body as well as mental and emotional courage. Inversions invite us to gently confront our fears and therefore move through them. Through constant discipline and practice, inversions can soon become as effortless as standing on one's own two feet. When we can stand tall in our power, anything is possible and therefore there is nothing we cannot achieve!

Join Jodie in this fun-filled, empowering and courageously uplifting afternoon. You will explore your fears and how to finally let them go with love.
