Inner balance eluding you? This will help.

January 2, 2018 By Rupali Embry 4 Comments

quote - Mark Twain

Twice a month we get the perfect chance as teachers to inspire in our students an appreciation for the introspective side of their nature. The days of the full and new moons are great opportunities to draw attention to our feminine side and give permission to honor it. These are some of my favorite times […]

Vinyasa Short: Folds/Backbends/Twists

Here’s an idea you can build on…plan your class with three types of poses in mind: forward folds, backbends and twists. Folds, backbends and twists are complimentary—your body will begin to crave them as you move through class. Basically you’ll follow the pattern Rupali suggests in this Vinyasa Short on Folds/Backbends/Twists. She shows three repetitions […]

Check out “My Journey with the Five Tibetan Rites“ here.] But what if you or a student aren’t able to do the full five tibetan rites? Modify, modify, modify!!! Typically we […]

Asana tip sheet #39 – Vasisthasana variation

September 20, 2016 By Tania Ingrahm Leave a Comment

Tania in vasisthasana variation

Vasisthasana in its full expression is a strong side plank pose fired up with lots of internal power. Gratefully, it lends itself nicely to modification for a variety of student levels and abilities. (We cover full vasisthasana in this earlier post.) This variation of vasisthasana is a more-forgiving level of this pose…but there are easier […]

3 poses to build your core stabilization muscles

July 26, 2016 By Rupali Embry 1 Comment

Tania and RupaliWhat people are saying about Tania and Rupali...

"Tania and Rupali are wonderful teachers. They are experienced, knowledgable and sensitive to each student's needs. They cultivate self compassion and mindfulness and provide inspiration to students to develop a more introspective practice of just being present in the moment. Now, yoga is an integral part of my life. Every time I step on my mat I remember Tania's words—drishti, connect my breath to stay focused and engage my bandhas." ~ Linda, Hawaii Kai, HI
