PROPS TO YOU!
Over the years, many students have lamented the use of props in their yoga practice—thinking that using them is “cheating.” And often, instructors suggest that students “grab a block…” yet rarely center their use in class. The truth is, yoga props are SO versatile—they can make the same asana feel different which can change your whole experience!
In this workshop we’ll playfully explore the many ways a variety of props can change the intensity of poses. We’ll also delve into the actual anatomy of how manipulating joint angles and leverage can bring new life to any pose—even the ones you’ve practiced for years!
Our session will begin with a centering circle, followed by a simple sequenced asana practice. From there, we’ll introduce different props in different ways to manipulate the energy and sensation of the practice. At the end of our movement time, there will be a short meditation to integrate what has been learned and felt, and wrap up with some chai and conversation to seal the afternoon.
feathered pipe retreat
On June 13-20, 2025 join my dear friend, Lanita Varshell and me at the World Famous Feathered Pipe Ranch for an amazing week! The theme for our week at the Ranch this year is: It’s ALL about Love: A deep journey into embracing love.
Author, bell hooks, reminds us that, “The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb.” Yes, like our yoga practices, loving-kindness is a choice we make everyday—and in our tumultuous world, what could be a better respite than a full week of intentional transformation with the most amazing force in the universe: LOVE!
As is our style, our week at the Pipe will again offer myriad options for you to love on yourself. From slowing down and consciously resting, enjoying amazingly healthful food, and your pick of any or all offerings we have planned, whatever you choose during the week will help guide you to a way of living lighter in this oftentimes heavy world.
In addition to the healing energy of the Ranch and lovingly curated yoga sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of meditations, hikes, creative workshops and other leisurely pastimes. We’ll deep-dive in ways to help you slow down and make any mental, emotional or physical shifts—breaking any barriers that prevent feelings of connection and belonging.
Registration is live - so if you’re interested in joining us, please sign up soon to ensure your preferred accommodations.
Feathered Pipe Ranch is located just a 20 minute drive from lovely Helena, Montana and hugs up against the Continental Divide. You’ll not find a more serene, bucolic space like this anywhere else! Hope to see you this summer!!
