SUMMARY:Building Confidence in Inversions: A Weekend Immersion with Anneke Faas
DESCRIPTION:Building Confidence in Inversions: A Weekend Immersion with Anneke Faas\nSaturday & Sunday November 21 and 22nd from 1:30 – 4 pm each day\nJoin us at the studio in Berkeley  \nYou’ve learned the basics. You’ve practiced Śīrṣāsana and Sarvāṅgāsana. Maybe you’ve even begun experimenting with balancing. But the actions still aren’t completely clear—and practicing inversions on your own can feel uncertain. \nThis weekend immersion is designed to help you take the next step. Inversions bring clarity and vitality to the mind and body – once you feel confident doing them. So let’s get to it! \nOver two days\, Anneke will break down the essential actions of Śīrṣāsana (Headstand) and Sarvāṅgāsana (Shoulderstand)\, giving you time to practice\, ask questions\, and develop greater confidence in how you approach these important poses. \nWe’ll explore how to create stability through the shoulders\, arms\, and upper back so that your neck feels great!. We will look at different ways of entering and exiting the poses; and how to begin developing the balance and understanding needed to practice with confidence. \nIn Sarvāṅgāsana\, you’ll experiment with different blanket and mat setups and learn how thoughtful support can change the experience of the pose. We’ll also look at common difficulties and how to adapt your setup to your own needs. \nWith two days to work\, there will be time not simply to “do” the inversions\, but to understand them—to repeat\, refine\, and begin making these poses more truly your own. \nWho is this program for?  It is best suited for students who regularly attend Fundamentals\, Continuing Beginner\, or comparable Iyengar Yoga classes and already have some experience with Śīrṣāsana and Sarvāṅgāsana. You do not need to be able to balance independently in the middle of the room. In fact\, this weekend is especially for students who are ready to work toward that next level of confidence and independence. \nThis program is in-person only.  Tuition covers both Saturday and Sunday attendance. \n  \nTuition: \n$150 per person \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Register HERE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR\n \nAnneke Faas (she/her) is a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher and Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) with over two decades of teaching experience. She began practicing yoga at 14 and has been teaching since her college years. Yoga has supported her through every stage of life\, deepening her understanding of balance\, awareness\, and compassion. \nAnneke has completed several in-depth certificate programs in yoga philosophy\, including An Immersion into the Depths of the Vibhuti Pada and The Soul Psychology of Patañjali. A dedicated daily chanting practice fuels her connection to the esoteric roots of yoga. \nKnown for her warmth\, clarity\, and thoughtful sequencing\, Anneke makes yoga relevant to daily life. She teaches students of all levels\, offers expertise in prenatal and postnatal yoga\, and mentors teachers on their path toward certification. Outside the studio\, she loves being in nature and spending time with her teenage sons. \n  \n \nCancellation policy for workshops: \nIf your cancellation request is received more than 72 hours before the event\, your workshop payment may be converted into Adeline Yoga account credit minus a $10 processing fee. To request a workshop cancellation\, please email support@adelineyoga.com. \n

Together we will take time to appreciate where we’ve been\, consider the things that matter most to us\, and make space for the year ahead. \nThis annual New Year’s Day program with Heather is an invitation: a meaningful and uplifting way to welcome 2027 through yoga\, reflection\, and community. \nThis year\, as always\, we’ll draw inspiration from Gaṇeśa\, the beloved elephant-headed deity honored at the beginning of any new undertaking.  Gaṇeśa is revered as the remover of obstacles.  Whether our obstacles are to be acknowledged\, removed\, melted or lept over\, Gaṇeśa can invite us to consider the myriad of options we have to move forward with wisdom\, courage\, and an open heart. \nOur program together will begin with chanting and an invigorating Iyengar Yoga asana practice\, followed by an extended Savasana\, quiet observation of the breath\, and meditation. Together\, these practices offer an opportunity to move from activity toward stillness\, creating space for greater clarity and awareness. \nBeginning again may feel like a personal undertaking\, but it extends all around us. When we take time to nourish ourselves and reconnect with what matters\, we are better able to show up for our families\, our communities\, and the world around us. In this way\, our individual practice becomes part of something larger. \nWe’ll conclude our gathering with homemade chai and sweets\, celebrating the sweetness of new beginnings and the joy of being together. \nCome as you are! Leave feeling grounded\, uplifted\, and ready to welcome the year ahead. \nWho is this workshop for?\nAll levels of practitioners are welcome. We recommend at least six months of consistent practice with an Iyengar Yoga teacher. \nTuition\n$80 Early Bird — Save $15 when you register by December 15.  No discount code needed! \nYour discount will apply automatically when you register. \nRegular tuition: $95 starting December 16th \nAll registered participants will receive a recording available for 30 days. \n  \nREGISTRATION OPEN\nREGISTER HERE: In-Person.

SUMMARY:Vitality with Stephanie Quirk
DESCRIPTION:The Energetic Embodiment\nVitality: the Work of Bringing “Life”\nLooking at the health of the vital organic body including heart\, lungs\, pancreas and thyroid \nApril 24 – 27\, 2027 at California Yoga Center in Mountain View \nplus one post-series session via zoom for assimilation & application of material \n  \nREGISTER HERE FOR THE WAITLIST \nWe will notify you when registration opens this fall \n \n\n \n\n\n \n  \nIn this course we will explore Vitality\, focusing on the health of the vital organic body: heart\, lungs\, pancreas\, and thyroid. \nThis is module 4 of a seven-part Yoga Therapy training “Seeing & Understanding from the Base” designed by Stephanie Quirk\, following Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar’s progression of learning\, from the outer\, seeable form to the inner\, more subtle aspects of the body\, mind\, and senses of perception. \nThis program will be an invaluable professional development opportunity for Iyengar Yoga teachers and trainees as well as experienced practitioners wishing to deepen their practice and understanding of yoga and its therapeutic applications. As yoga students each of us needs to be able to solve problems in our own practice. \nThe approach starts from the participants own practice\, showing how familiar asanas can be modified to address specific needs. Each part of the series focuses on practical adaptations to support students facing common difficulties in their yoga practice. \nThe emphasis is on learning the asana from the inside out\, by understanding its internal experience—tone\, intensity\, form—and how elemental factors—gravity\, balance\, space\, movement and stability—change according to the arrangement and adaptation of each asana. \nWho Can Attend?\nThis course is open to: \n\nCertified Iyengar Yoga teachers\nIyengar Yoga teacher trainees/mentees\nExperienced Iyengar Yoga practitioners\n\nWhat’s covered each day?\nDay 1: the beginning of study\, observation and investigation through the categories of asanas taught in a general class for the subject / topic being explored. \nDay 2: Continued practice in the morning. In the afternoon the focus is on the very important aspect of observation. \nDay 3: Learning specific adjustments and adaptations for the students that require help. Adjustments can be carried out for a variety of reasons\, to enable\, to correct\, and to educate the student\, so that the pose works more directly and the effects are accessible for the student. \nDay 4: Adjustments and adaptations continue and the introduction to understanding the purpose and correct usage of props. Props as with adaptations can be for enabling\, correcting and educating. They can alleviate situations difficult to bear as well as provide a portal for the student to understand their inner body. \n  \nAbout Stephanie Quirk \nStephanie Quirk is recognised internationally as a leader in the field of Yoga Therapeutics.\nShe spent over 20 years living in Pune\, India\, studying and working closely with the Iyengar family at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI). During that time\, she assisted in the medical classes\, gaining deep and practical experience in applying asana and pranayama therapeutically. \n  \nQuestions you may have:\nDo I have to attend the whole workshop?\nWe highly recommend attending the full 4 days to get the most benefit. The workshop is designed to build gradually\, and full participation allows Stephanie to better understand your level of practice and understanding\, and offer more tailored guidance. It’s also a valuable way to deepen your practice and support your overall well-being. \nIf there is space\, we may allow registration for one or two days only. Single sessions can only be booked for Day 1.\nOther options are: Day 1 + 2 \, Day 1 + 2 + 3. \nWhat is this full series?\nThe full series consists of 7 parts: \nPart 1 – The Karmendriyas 1 – The Outer Body in Locomotion: Feet\, Knees & Hips\nPart 2 – The Karmendriyas 2 – The Outer Body that Offers & Holds: Arms\, Shoulders & Upper Spine\nPart 3 – The Root (Mula): Lower Spine\, Pelvis & Sacrum\nPart 4 – The Energetic embodiment 1 – Vitality: The Work of Bringing “Life” (Utrecht\, 24–27 September 2026)\nPart 5 – The Energetic embodiment 2 – The Sustainer: Digestion\, Absorption & Elimination\nPart 6 – Acquiring the state of balance and harmony – Systemic Imbalance: Endocrine and Nervous System Health\nPart 7 – Listening – Seeing – Realising: The Senses of Perception and the Mind \nIt is not necessary to have completed earlier modules. \nEach module is a separate subject\, they don’t need to be taken in order. \nThis year\, Stephanie will do an American tour teaching different parts in Los Angeles\, Dallas and New York.  If you are interested to see recordings of parts not offered in the United States\, these are available via Stephanie’s website – as well as many more recordings of classes and workshops by Stephanie. \nWhen can I sign up?  We will open registration this fall.  At that time we will provide all the necessary detail including class timings\, tuition and logistical support to help our out-of-town colleagues. \nWe welcome out-of-town colleagues!  Oakland (Oak) is the most convenient airport as its an easy 20-min car ride or slightly longer metro ride. San Francisco (SFO) is also a fine airport option\, about 1 hr by metro or car.  There are plenty of AirBnB around for accommodations.  We do have a kitchenette and gardens where you can eat your lunch and enjoy your tea.  We love our town and will be happy to make suggestions for restaurants\, hiking\, museums and other adventures.  Partners and other +1 really enjoy their time if they accompany you. \nYou do not need to bring props.  Our studio is fully equipped. \nHave more questions?

You can look forward to daily walks on the beach\, watching the pelicans dive into the water and hiking the nearby trails. We can be in and out of the water swimming\, kayaking and snorkeling. \nOr stay on the property and enjoy the amenities! Baja Serenity itself has a hot tub\, basic spa offerings and lots of places to relax. The stunning bedrooms invite deep relaxation and a restful sleep. \n\n \n\n“My mind feels more at equilibrium\, I feel less stressed\, I feel more in my body.

Each one I’ve done has offered me a chance to do something on the mat I’ve never done before\, building my confidence and enthusiasm for continued practice. Even more importantly\, each retreat has been a chance to take a step back\, reflect and reset\, leading to continued benefits and forward momentum in many aspects of my life far beyond the retreat and beyond my practice of yoga. This is in no small part due to the container created by Heather and supported by so many delightful fellow travelers from the Adeline Yoga community.”\n~Dan M.\n\n \nAmazing Accommodations\nThe spectacular property will allow you to\nrest\, relax\, and recharge.\nBaja Serenity is designed for tranquility and a soothing atmosphere.

We can focus on typical conditions we all face such as back pain\, and issues in the neck and shoulders. These two afternoon sessions will help retreat participants and serve as teacher education for those who teach. \nWe will have afternoons free for activities on your own. Baja Serenity is located inside of a UNESCO world heritage site and biosphere reserve.  There is an incredible abundance of wildlife to enjoy. Hiking islands\, snorkeling in the coral reefs and seeing whales can be part of the trip. \n  \n \n\n\n  \n\n\n  \nWHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?\nThis program is especially aimed at adventurous people with an interest in personal growth\, self-inquiry and conscious connection with oneself and fellow travelers. \nA retreat is a quiet place that you go to in order to withdraw from the regular routine of daily life and rest in a private place.  So you should feel comfortable keeping your phone away (for the most part). \nThis program is for people who have at least 2 years experience studying Iyengar Yoga consistently. \nYou can expect that the retreat will be physically demanding and deeply transformative. \nWe have a “non-yoga participant” rate if you plan to attend with a partner or friend. \n\n\nI AM INTERESTED!\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nGETTING THERE\n\n\n  \nLos Cabos is the most convenient in terms of options. Many airlines fly into Los Cabos (Cabos San Lucas). It’s a 2 hr drive to Baja Serenity. \nOur local participants tend to choose Southwest\, Alaska Air or Volaris as they offer flights from Oakland and San Francisco to Los Cabos. \nOnce you arrive\, travel from the airport is straightforward.  We will arrange group transportation.  Or\, if you are staying longer or coming early\, you can rent a car. \nIf you do want to rent a car\, we can assist with options prior to your arrival. This option will give you more freedom to drive around and explore the surroundings. Baja Serenity recommends BBB Car Rental in Los Cabos. \nWhen considering your travel arrangements\, we start on Saturday @ 2 pm and end on Friday @ 11 am. \n  \n  \nLET’S GO!\n\n \n\nYOUR INSTRUCTOR & GROUP LEADER\n \n\nHeather Haxo Phillips (she/her) is Director of Adeline Yoga and a senior certified Iyengar yoga instructor at Level 3. \nHer additional certifications include: Certified Yoga Therapist (c-IAYT)\, Relax and Renew restorative yoga teacher and Yoga Alliance E-500 level instructor. She has specialized yoga therapy training which includes scoliosis\, musculoskeletal injuries and pain management.  One of her asana-related specialties is women’s health. \nHeather has a deep commitment to the ancient teachings which includes mantra sadhana (chanting) and Sanskrit\, pranayama and yoga philosophy.  You can expect to find aspects of this in all of Heather’s classes. \nHeather deepens her own practice by studying regularly with other senior Iyengar teachers\, Sanskrit and Vedic scholars\, and the Iyengar family in Pune. \nHeather is a long time mentor and assessor.  She currently serves on several IYNAUS committees including the Assessment Committee. She is past President of the Board of Directors for the Iyengar Yoga Association of Northern California and an active volunteer for the Iyengar Yoga National Association of the United States. \nHeather has traveled widely throughout the world\, especially places off the beaten path.  She is known for her well-organized events and retreats. \n\n\n \nCancellation Policy\nWhen we receive your deposit\, we reserve your room.  Your $500 deposit is not refundable.  Cancellations received before November 15 will get a full refund minus the $500 deposit. No refunds will be given for cancellations after November 15. \nStill on the fence?\nHere is what Danielle shared about her experience:  “A retreat with Heather is an amazing opportunity to cultivate focus and discipline in one’s yoga practice and daily routine. From delicious food to beautiful views of nature\, you have everything you need to be deeply present and open-hearted. The setting is natural and the retreat program is comprehensive and deeply supportive to the mind\, body and spirit. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to fortify their yoga practice or explore intentions for developing new health habits.” \nI AM INTERESTED!\n\n \n\nStill have more questions?\nLearn more by emailing heather@adelineyoga.com \n\n
