Foundations of Yoga: Back to Basics
Date: January 2026
Time: 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Location: Seattle/ Online ( Hybrid)
Start the year by reconnecting to the heart of yoga. This four-hour workshop is designed for complete beginners and for anyone who wants to return to the basics of practice. Together, we will explore yoga as both a philosophy and a movement practice, giving you the tools and confidence to step into any class with ease.
What we will explore
• The history of yoga and a gentle overview of the 8 limbs of yoga
• A brief introduction to Sanskrit, the ancient language used to name many yoga poses
• Breathwork/pranayama techniques for energy and calm
• Foundational postures with safe alignment and prop support, including mountain pose, child’s pose, cat cow, downward dog, forward folds, lunges, gentle twists, sun salutations, etc
• Tips for building a personal practice and entering group classes with confidence
Who this is for
This workshop is perfect for those brand new to yoga as well as students who want to refresh their foundations. It is also a supportive environment if you are looking to build consistency, prevent injury, or reconnect with the roots of the practice. All bodies and all abilities are welcome.
What to expect
A welcoming pace with time for questions and exploration. Guidance in breath, movement, and philosophy with options to adapt using props, walls, or chairs. You will get a taste of yoga history, language, breath, and foundational postures — enough to feel confident and curious about your next steps.
Part Two: Diving Deeper
This workshop is the first in a series. Part two will offer a deeper exploration of yoga philosophy, including the 8 limbs, ethical practices, and how these teachings can support modern life.
What to bring
Comfortable clothing, a yoga mat if you have one, and water. Props will be available.
