London’s Tripsichore company has been amazing audiences with the beauty and fluidity of their choreographed yoga performances for 15 years.

Tripsichore has taught workshops throughout the U.S., including yoga conferences, as well as overseas.
SATURDAY SESSION ($65), 2:30-5:30 p.m. For driving directions, click here. For ALL LEVELS — Choreographic Workshop Tripsichore techniques fuse the lyricism of dance with the beauty and spirituality of yoga. They focus on uniting the mind and body through the use of breath and the movement of energy. The movement techniques bring about clarity and stability to one’s thoughts and actions. The Tripsichore method of linking postures is original, based on years of experimentation, yet it respects yoga’s traditions. The goal of this workshop is to practice this method and experience the beauty and energy that results from it. You will warm up with the innovative Tripsichore Sun Salutations, and will learn how to breathe and move energy into various poses, including backbends and inversions. (Regarding inversions, if you are scared by the prospect, this really is THE opportunity to get down to beating the fear by discovering how to safely and confidently execute inverted postures). But that is not all. There will be opportunities to be creative, for example, to develop a sequence with a small group of people, and “perform” it. You will be given options from beginning to highly advanced in the poses and movements. This workshop will provide great fun and a chance to experience yoga as you never have before, and will help you to grow in your yoga practice.
SUNDAY SESSION ($65), 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. For driving directions, click here. Sunday — INTERMEDIATE — Inversions and Backbends This workshop is for yoga students who can proficiently (it doesn't have to be perfect!) do Headstand Pose away from the wall and who can come into Upward Bow Pose (the backbend also known as Wheel). It is an opportunity to acquire a more advanced capacity in these poses and in other inversions and backbends as well. You will learn what you are supposed to be doing while you’re in these poses, how to do them safely, and how to advance. Students will warm up with the Tripsichore Sun Salutations, and go through movements and poses to prepare to safely explore the inversions and backbends. Regarding backbends, you will explore not only various poses, but vinyasa (movement) while doing them! And with inversions, this is the chance to glory in some of the most exciting variations you are likely to see. Pose options will be given to accommodate everyone. This workshop will combine an exhilarating experience with great learning.
