WEEKEND WORKSHOP
Jun 6th, Fri to Jun 8th, Sun
AUSTIN, TX
Twists, Side Bends & Inversions
Friday, June 6th, 6:00PM-8:00PM
We start the weekend with one of the most unique and original workshops. When we improve this kind of flexibility and strengthen our spine, all our practice takes a leap forward, including Handstands, backbends & hip openers. Anatomically, we’ll pay special attention to spine, neck, shoulder internal rotation and adductors. We’ll find new stability points and increase the role of the upper body with fun arm balances and some upside down time.
For Handstand Lovers
Saturday, June 7th, 12:00PM-2:00PM
One of the most popular workshops, it includes a thorough warm up for shoulders, elbows and wrists, as well as deep abdominal work, gluts & leg activation. For alignment drills, with and without weight, we will alternate between wall and floor to not overload upper body but still reprogram nervous system. We will also work on resistance training, several kinds of jumps and entries into Handstands, eliminate bad habits and Q&A at the end. Though for all levels, this workshop is ideal for those that can already jump into Handstands against a wall.
Happy hips: from Pigeon to Yogidandasana
Saturday, June 7th, 2:30PM-4:30PM
This workshop will cover both external and internal hip rotation (ER/IR) while protecting knees, ankles and sacroiliac joints. Leg strengthening poses, squats, arm balances and a few inversions are a few of the postures we’ll play with. We’ll progressively reach deeper hip openers like “foot-to-armpit” (Yogidandasana), cover other alternatives, best practices, specific mobility drills and tips to enjoy this family of poses. Energetically, you’ll leave more connected to the extraordinary power of your hips.
Meditation: Everyday Tools
Saturday, June 7th, 5:00PM-7:00PM
It is not what happens to us but what we do about it, right? We have heard this before but it would be nice to now lose our temper when the next not so great thing happens to us again. In this session we will explore techniques to manage our own mind functions to learn to look at life with new eyes and make the best out of every day,
Backbends for everyone: 4 backbends to revolutionize your practice
Sunday, June 8th, 12:00PM-2:00PM
Finishing with a bang, this workshop is packed with info about 4 of the most useful backbends to move your t-spine, strengthen lumbar, open shoulders & actively elongate flexors. If backbends are not your jam, this class is for you! Especial attention will be paid to increase shoulder flexion, while stabilizing this joint. We’ll also cover in depth a correct spinal segmentation, as well as understanding the important role of the deeper abs (TVA), obliques and pelvic floor. Expect a careful warm up, lots of isolated drills to incorporate into your routine, plenty of options to play with, and a few fun inversions. Not to be missed!
Sound bath: Breath, Light and Electricity
Sunday, June 8th, 2:30PM-4:00PM
We will use the power of sound to connect the physical and the energy field in our bodies. We will start with a deep relaxation, then we will let the vibrations of sound affect the water in our bodies, and finally we will aim to feel how energy moves in new patterns through our muscles, organs, blood and bones.
Philosophy: The Chakras according to Jung
Sunday, June 8th, 4:30PM-6:00PM
We will start with Jung's view on the chakra system and the psychological opportunities that the Indian tradition offers for our personal development. Then we will go one step further...
YTT MODULE
Jun 9th, Mon to Jun 14th, Sat
AUSTIN, TX
This 50hr YTT MODULE is a most unique experience because of its focus and practicality. Besides a DAILY 90-MIN PRACTICE with Carmen, the rest of the hours will be solely dedicated to HANDS-ON ADJUSTMENTS as well as HOW TO TEACH HANDSTANDS from beginners to advanced hand balancers.
Highlights of what we’ll be covering are:
-
DAILY YOGA CLASSES with a different theme and peak poses;
-
Dozens of assists and ANATOMICAL EXPLANATIONS for backbends, hip openers, spinal rotations, lateral flexions, arm balances and all inversions;
-
Precise exercises to INCREASE ROM along thoracic spine & promote correct segmentation;
-
Specific upper body work to increase SHOULDER CIRCUMDUCTION (for all kind of asanas) and power (for Handstands and arm balances);
-
Correct WRISTS & ELBOWS’ manipulation for Handstands;
-
Tapping into the ABS POWER, especially TVA, obliques & psoas;
-
Daily sessions dedicated extensively to HANDSTANDS THEORY, alignment, anatomy, as well as dozens of DRILLS, from the most fundamental ones to others more specific, depending on the student’s level and personal difficulties.
Doing handstands is not the same as being able to teach handstands. Doing deep backbends is not the same as being able to break them down and safely assist students into them, and that’s why this training IS NOT TO BE MISSED!
This is a once-a-year-opportunity (if that!) and is geared towards teachers and practitioners that want to DEEPEN THEIR KNOWLEDGE about anatomy, know how to give great adjustments and have a clear path on how to advance in the endless Handstand ocean of drills and tips.
For those looking to complete a 200 OR 300 HR YTT with me, this is the first module for it.
Hours can also be used towards CE credits for teachers.
