The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: A Deeper Dive into the Heart of Yoga with Kyle
Are you ready to explore yoga beyond the mat?
So often, yoga is experienced only through physical postures—but the true essence of yoga lies in the way we live, breathe, observe, and connect. At the root of that understanding is the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali—a timeless, poetic guide that offers us the philosophy, structure, and spiritual insight of the yogic path.
Join Kyle for a special 3-hour interactive workshop designed to bring the teachings of the Sutras to life in a grounded and accessible way. Whether you're a yoga teacher, student, or seeker on the path, this session will help you connect to the why of yoga—and how these ancient teachings can enrich your modern life.
In This Workshop, You’ll:
-Explore foundational sutras that illuminate the purpose and practice of yoga.
-Engage in meaningful discussion and inquiry to personalize the teachings.
-Uncover how the Sutras help us navigate the fluctuations of the mind, cultivate clarity,
and move toward inner stillness.
-Discover how to live your yoga—on and off the mat—through conscious action and
compassionate awareness
Leave with tools and inspiration to carry these teachings into your daily life.
This is more than a lecture—it’s a shared conversation and sacred space to deepen your practice from the inside out. Kyle brings both a deep respect for the tradition and an approachable, down-to-earth style that makes these ancient texts feel alive and relevant.
Come as you are—with curiosity, a notebook, and an open heart. If you have a copy of the Sutras, bring that too, if not it's ok. Let this be your invitation to go beyond the physical and tap into the true heart of yoga.

Mom's Moment: We're Shifting the Focus Back to Mom with Jodi
Give yourself the gift you so often give others—presence, care, and love.
As women—and especially as moms—we often put ourselves last. But when we prioritize our own well-being, we not only nourish ourselves—we create the capacity to help and inspire those around us. This special workshop is your reminder that taking care of you is not only okay—it’s essential.
This soul-soothing session is all about you, mom. We’ll begin with calming pranayama to settle the mind and open the heart, move into a deeply relaxing restorative yoga practice to release tension and welcome deep rest, and close with a gentle meditation to integrate and reflect. Following our practice, we’ll gather for a meaningful discussion on self-love—sharing practical techniques and routines to keep yourself centered and supported, long after the workshop ends.
Then, we’ll unwind together with light hors d’oeuvres, refreshing beverages, and a small gift just for you—because you deserve it.
All levels are welcome. Bring your mat, an open mind, and a heart ready to receive.
Take this time to pause, breathe, and shift the focus back to you (or your mom).
- WHEN: Saturday, May 10th
- TIME: 1-3:00pm
- WHO: All Moms and those that want to spend time with their moms
- COST: $55

The Pelvis is Everything: A Different Perspective on Asana Practice
The pelvis is at the center of the body. It is also at the center of our movements, on and off the mat. Usually, however, asana is taught with more of a focus on the spinal column or peripheral joints and structures. But when we learn to move from the pelvis, everything changes.
In this course we will focus on the pelvis, its anatomy, and on its energetic importance to our lives through lecture and practice. We will study the part the pelvis plays in creating yoga poses, including standing poses, backbends, forward bends, twists and inversions. We will question with an open mind and heart some of the assumptions we make about the pelvis, and how we as teachers can open to a new way of seeing the pelvis and its potential in asana. We will explore the dance called “walking”, and the understanding that Eastern and Western cultures teach people to walk differently. We will also explore what physical and emotional consequences are associated with the way we walk. Included will be a discussion of the pelvic floor as well.
The first session of each day will focus on Active practice and the second session on Quiet practice like Restorative poses and pranayama. These practices take on new depth when done with an awareness of the importance of the pelvis and its position.
