SUMMARY:When Yoga Becomes Yours: A chit-chat with Heather Haxo Phillips
DESCRIPTION:At the Threshold: When Yoga Becomes Yours\n\nA conversation for students seeking a deeper relationship with practice\nwith Heather Haxo Phillips\nfree \nSunday\, March 29 from 3 – 4:15 pm pacific \nin-person and on zoom \n\n\n\n\n  \nWe all arrive at yoga for different reasons—relief from pain or stress\, curiosity about new ways to move\, or a quiet longing for change. In the beginning testing out Iyengar Yoga\, we are not quite sure what is going on\, but we like it.  We come to class\, follow the guidance\, do the work and receive what’s offered. It is fun.  It feels good.  And so we keep coming back. \n\nOver time\, consistency becomes a practice itself. Life’s twists and turns test our commitment\, yet we keep showing up.  Coming to class again and again builds a valuable steadiness—in the body\, mind\, and the spirit.  Even when life is busy\, unpredictable\, or demanding\, we find ways to get to class. That commitment alone shapes us. We feel more at home in our bodies\, more resourced emotionally\, more grounded in ourselves. \n\nMany practitioners remain in this place for years or a lifetime as deeply devoted class-goers who touch the edges of yoga’s depth through workshops\, events and even retreats. \nAnd then\, for some people\, a different pull arrives: \nA threshold moment. \nYou might feel a pull toward a more personal\, engaged practice—a desire not only to do the poses\, but to understand why we practice\, how to adapt your practice to your life’s changes\, and how to bring yoga into your daily life. This could be called a threshold moment: a desire to move from being guided in class to being an active participant in your own practice. \nThis shift opens the door to a deeper\, more personal relationship with yoga.  Indeed\, crossing offers you a relationship with yoga where you take ownership\, explore deeply\, and bring the practices more fully into your life. \n\nIn this intimate conversation\, Heather will share her own journey of crossing that threshold—from dedicated student to active practitioner.  We will chat about how that shift marked a transformation in her practice and her life. \nTogether\, we’ll explore what this threshold moment might look like for you\, and how to take the next steps—whether that’s developing a home practice\, diving deeper into study\, or exploring a longer commitment such as Sadhana Studies. \nThis will be an interactive session.  Whether you  join us in-person or on zoom\, please be there live.  Our activities will be done in small and large groups.  It will not be the same experience watching a recording. \nYou’ll leave with clarity\, inspiration\, and concrete next steps to continue your yoga journey with intention and curiosity. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE: In-Person REGISTER HERE: Online\nWHAT TO EXPECT\nThe yoga tradition offers us so much wisdom.  Even within Iyengar Yoga there is a universe of interesting topics to discuss.  Over an informal hour together\, we will take a deeper dive into one specific topic that we love. \nWe welcome everyone whether you are brand new to Adeline Yoga or have been an Iyengar Yoga practitioner for decades. \nOur  chit-chats are a fun time for community conversations together.  For many years\, we have gathered at the Iyengar Institute in Pune to chit-chat with Geeta Iyengar\, Sunita Iyengar and now Abhijata and other RIMYI teachers.  We treasure these times together and enjoy bringing this tradition to Adeline Yoga.  It is a fun time to engage in stimulating conversation around important topics that relate to the greater Yoga tradition. \nThe purpose of our gathers are to: \n\nExcite and inspire aspiring and current yoga students everywhere\nGive students access to our outstanding faculty\, allowing them to get to know their teachers in new ways\nExpose students to facets of Iyengar Yoga that they might know know about\nGive teachers an opportunity to talk about topics they love\n\nTUITION:\nFree! \nA recording will be sent to anyone who registers. \nWant to support these chit-chats a little more?  Send a donation via pay-pal here: PayPal.me/adelineyoga \nOne hour prior to the workshop you will receive a unique zoom log-in and specific instructions. \nFirst time on Zoom with us? Check out our tip sheet! Our tips will help you get ready for your first class with us. \n  \nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR\nHeather Haxo Phillips (she/her) is Director of Adeline Yoga and a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher at the Senior Intermediate level (Level 3). \nAmong the highest certified Iyengar teachers in the East Bay\, her 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. \nOne of her asana-related specialties is women’s health. Heather 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 senior Iyengar teachers\, Sanskrit and Vedic scholars\, and the Iyengar family in Pune. \nHeather 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.

DESCRIPTION:The Power of Practice: \n5 Day Yoga Pranayama Immersion\nwith Heather Haxo Phillips \nMonday – Friday: Feb 9 – 13\n7 – 8 am PST each day \nvia Zoom \nPranayama is a deeply transformative practice on all levels\, physical and emotional. It is your time to find deep quiet and expansiveness inside.  Indeed\, this type of rest can be a sacred experience.  A daily pranayama practice is your time to be with yourself and see whats there. \nYou receive the most benefits of pranayama when you practice consistently. It does take discipline\, dedication and a a baseline of knowledge to make the most of a personal pranayama practice. Yet the benefits of pranayama are incredible! \nBeing with a community of people committed to the same endeavor is one of the ways to inspire and direct your practice.  And\, winter is a wonderful time to an immersion like this: darker mornings create a quiet and contemplative atmosphere. Carving out this time for inward minded study will most certainly help you build your energy stores before the spring season begins. \nJoin us for 5 days of pranayama in a row.  You will graduate from the Immersion with more confidence\, ready to take your practice to the next level and receive enhanced benefits! \nThe program is Monday through Friday 7 – 8 am PST each day.  Thursday we will go later so that there is time for question and answers. \nThe immersion is part of the Anusthana program\, so it is specifically designed for people who have already received teachings on pranayama.  Additional participants are invited to register:  It is best for students who already have at least three years of studying asana and have had previous practice of pranayama with a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher. \n  \nREGISTER NOW\n  \nOver the week\, Heather will teach the art of reclining and sitting pranayama including use of props\, body awareness and somatic sensation.  We will focus our studies of pranayama looking through the lens of ashtanga yoga.  As the 4th aspect of ashtanga yoga\, pranayama practices rest on the foundation of yama\, niyama and asana.  They also prepare the sadhaka for the deep quiet involved with pratyahara based practices including dharana. \nBKS Iyengar’s Light on Pranayama will be our guide and source of inspiration. Pranayama creates quiet and calm in the practitioner\, helping to kindle the flame of intelligence and a relationship with the divine. \n“Just as a breeze clears the ashes and smoke\, so the divine spark in the sadhaka shines out when – by the practice of pranayama – his mind becomes free of impurities and fit for meditation” \n– BKS Iyengar\, Light on Pranayama \nIf you are new to pranayama\, this is not the program for you.  Please join our pranayama class on Wednesdays with Kim Kolibri. Click here to book your class. \nRECORDINGS:\nWe plan that this immersion will be recorded.  Every registrant will receive access to the recording for one month.  If you cannot attend live\, you can pre-register and receive the recordings. \nPlease note: All of the recordings will be sent in one email at the end of the immersion. \nTUITION:\n5 Day Immersion: $125\nIf you cannot attend every day\, you can register and use the recording. \nScholarships are available – we have several spots!  Please apply here. \n  \n  \nREGISTER NOW \n  \n  \nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:\n\nHeather Haxo Phillips (she/her) is Director of Adeline Yoga and a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher at the Senior Intermediate level (Level 3).

SUMMARY:Exploring Connections Between Adjacent Body Parts with Marla Apt
DESCRIPTION:Saturday – Sunday\, January 24 – 25 in person\nA special immersion with Marla Apt\nExploring Connections Between Adjacent Body Parts\nSaturday 1:30 – 5:30 pm & Sunday  1 – 3 pm\nin-person\nThe first step for union (yoga) is connection. As one learns asana and pranayama\, one learns to recognize and appreciate the connections between body parts which often go unnoticed. \nIn this workshop\, we will start with the known and go towards the unknown. Specifically\, we will look at foundational poses and their actions. Then we will proceed toward more subtle actions and interactions as a means to accessing poses that are often thought to be “intermediate” or “advanced”. \nOver two days we will explore connections and the act of “connecting”. This workshop will use both asana and yoga philosophy to shed light on the gross and the subtle\, what is near and what is far.

From there\, you will also learn more about how to personalize your home practice for your specific needs. Over our time together\, you will be amazed to learn more about how the asanas relate to each other\, and how they relate to us as human beings.  \nThis program will continue your studies of holistic health through Ayurveda\, with additional focus on deep rest\, including the variety of healing savasanas\, reclining pranayama and building up to sitting pranayama. \nWith Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras as our main source of study\, we will be supported by reflections from the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. These texts – and their commentaries – will develop our experience of the 8-fold path and help us delve deeper into the key foundational concepts of yoga philosophy including: \n\nThe definitions of Yoga\nYoga Ethics\nThe Kleshas\nThe Gunas \nKarma Theory\n\nWho you learn with makes a huge impact on what you learn.  So\, small group peer discussions will be an integral part of your studies between our in-person sessions.  Discussion prompts and journaling exercises will be provided each month to guide your studies and self-reflection. \nRegistration Closed\n \n\nProgram Components:\nThis program weaves both in-studio time and zoom learning to allow you both in-person time and the practicality of being in your house. \n\nWednesday 5:45 to 7:15 pm pacific time – asana class on zoom every week\nShort Reading assignments\n1-on-1 and small group peer discussions between monthly meetings\nHome practice using sequences provided for you\nTarget pose practice sessions on Mondays (zoom) and Fridays (in-person) 6:30 – 7:45 am PST \nMonthly gatherings either in-person at Adeline Yoga or on zoom\n\nWho is this course for?

I also appreciated how much Heather empowered us to engage in practice\, even if it’s just for a few minutes each day. That teaching was invaluable for me.“ \n~Devon \n\n\n\n“I particularly appreciated the thoughtful way in which what we were learning was woven into an awareness of what’s happening in the world at large.“ \n~S.\n\n\n\n“Having a community of Sadhakas to discuss and learn from was great.”\n~Harish.\n\n \n\nProgram Schedule: \nAnusthana starts Sept 13 and ends April 19.

SUMMARY:Yoga Anticolonial Philosophy Book Group with Willow Hagge
DESCRIPTION:Anticolonial Philosophy Book Group\nwith Willow Hagge\n4 sessions on zoom \nMondays 5 – 6 pm \nJune 16 / June 30 /July 14 /July 28 \n  \nPatanjali’s Yoga Sutras define a unique and marvelous moral and ethical philosophy along with offering many other beautiful concepts. Dr. Shyam Ranganthan\, a Canadian Philosophy Professor at York University\, has done remarkable work to read the Yoga Sutras as a Philosopher. He shows how the Yoga Sutras lay out a path for how to be a person who thrives and is self-governing\, while making space for others to do the same. \nDr. Ranganthan wrote a great book for practitioners of postural yoga to explore the sutras through this lens.  It is titled Yoga Anticolonial Philosophy.  We are excited to create a book group to read and discuss his work. \nAs participants in the book group\, we will engage with his text through a variety of activities\, discussions\, and reflections. This group will also focus on identifying and disrupting patterns of white-supremacy\, colonization\, racism\, and trans/queer phobia as they arise. The experiences and voices of marginalized folks will be centered\, because ahimsa\, which can be translated as disrupting systemic injustice\, is the first part of the first limb of yoga and is central to this work. \nLearn more about our featured book here: https://yogaphilosophy.com/product/yoga-anticolonial-philosophy/ \nWho is this book group for? This group is for those who have spent time with the Yoga Sutras\, are actively practicing Yoga\, and who are willing to engage with a dense (but very rewarding!) text. This group is not appropriate for people studying the Yoga Sutras for the first time. \nThis event is being organized by Willow as part of a service-learning project from Sadhana Studies. \nTuition: \nFree \nParticipants encouraged to make a donation to the yoga blessings fund here. \n  \nClick to register your interest in joining\nI’m Interested\n  \nABOUT THE BOOK CLUB LEADER\nWillow Hagge (they/them) has been practicing Iyengar Yoga since 2004 and is currently apprenticing to become an Iyengar Yoga teacher. They have completed the Sadhana Studies program twice\, and have a 100 hour Yoga Philosophy certification with Dr. Ranganathan. \nWillow is also a visual arts teacher\, sewist\, parent\, trans person\, and artist. \n\n

SUMMARY:Strength with Michael Lucey
DESCRIPTION:Strength\nwith Michael Lucey \nMarch 1 from 2 – 4:30 pm.\nHybrid: at our Berkeley studio or via Zoom online\nStrength: How many kinds of it are there? What kinds of strength do we need as we advance in our practice and in life? How do we acquire it (them)? \nWe sometimes use expressions like brute strength or quiet strength — neither of which seems much like the other. \nWhat about core strength? Or what about what physical trainers call agile strength?

Many airlines fly into Los Cabos (Cabos San Lucas). Its a 2 hr 15 min drive from that airport to Casa Tara. \nLa Paz is the closest airport to Casa Tara\, a 45 min drive to Casa Tara. \nOur local participants tend to choose Southwest\, Alaska Air or Volaris as they offer flights from either Oakland and San Francisco to either Los Cabos or La Paz. \nOnce you arrive\, travel from either the airport is straightforward.  We will arrange group transportation.  Or\, if you are staying longer 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. Casa Tara has deals available with both National Car Rental and Budget Car Rental in both Los Cabos and La Paz. \nWhen considering your travel arrangements\, we start on Friday @ 4 pm and end on Wednesday @ 11 am. \n  \nLET’S GO!\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.

DESCRIPTION:The Power of Practice: \n5 Day Yoga Pranayama Immersion\nwith Heather Haxo Phillips \nMonday – Friday: Feb 17 – 21st\n7 – 8 am PST each day \nvia Zoom \nPranayama is a deeply transformative practice on all levels\, physical and emotional. It is your time to find deep quiet and expansiveness inside.  Indeed\, this type of rest can be a sacred experience.  A daily pranayama practice is your time to be with yourself and see whats there. \nYou receive the most benefits of pranayama when you practice consistently. It does take discipline\, dedication and a a baseline of knowledge to make the most of a personal pranayama practice. Yet the benefits of pranayama are incredible! \nBeing with a community of people committed to the same endeavor is one of the ways to inspire and direct your practice.  And\, winter is a wonderful time to an immersion like this: darker mornings create a quiet and contemplative atmosphere.

Pranayama creates quiet and calm in the practitioner\, helping to kindle the flame of intelligence and a relationship with the divine. \n“Just as a breeze clears the ashes and smoke\, so the divine spark in the sadhaka shines out when – by the practice of pranayama – his mind becomes free of impurities and fit for meditation” \n– BKS Iyengar\, Light on Pranayama \nIf you are brand new to pranayama\, this is not the program for you.  Please join our pranayama class on Wednesdays with Kim Kolibri.
