Handstand is a powerful way to add strength, focus, courage, and play to your yoga practice. In this skill-focused workshop, we’ll build a “handstand toolkit” that will empower you to get upside down with more confidence and joy. We will take a deep dive into the fundamentals of handstand alignment, build functional shoulder and core strength, play with different ways to find flight in your flow, and explore the keys to practicing handstand safely, so you can take your practice with you for years to come. Whether you have an existing inversion practice or you’re looking for the right place to get started, expect to leave this workshop more rooted in your “why” for practicing handstand and more equipped to experience life upside down!

The ENVY ERADICATOR: MOVING THROUGH ENVY TO GRATITUDE & GENEROSITY

Join Ben & Liz in another one of their amazing Yoga & Hypnosis Workshops.

When a Hypnotherapist and a Yoga Teacher work Together Magic Can Happen! Join Liz Mead (One of Shakti’s YTT Teachers) for a 70-minute light flow yoga classes ending with a guided hypnosis with Ben Glover.  At the end of your experience you will receive a 5-minute hypnosis recording that will help you stay connected to this deep experiential practice. If you are ready to take your practice to a different level this is an amazing way to start.

Ben Glover, a certified hypnotherapist and meditation teacher, has created his unique practice of “Hypnotherapeutic Meditation”.

In these two workshops, Ben will focus specifically on guiding participants to connect to a state of deep rest and how to work with a negative thought. 

Liz Mead received her Masters at Columbia for Human Rights and has been an educator for over 20 years. Liz is now certified in health counseling, yoga, mediation, and Reiki. Since receiving her certifications, Liz has taught yoga all over for over 20 years  and herself trained over 100 students.

About Lesley

Lesley's yoga journey started 17 years ago with 26 and 2 hot yoga, which she practiced 7 days a week for five years.  After a trip to Bali in 2008, she fell in love with vinyasa flow and Ashtanga Vinyasa and began to explore getting stronger to balance out the flexibility gained within her first five years of practicing.  She has competed in yoga asana championships with USA Yoga at the regional/national levels and placed 9th in the country in 2015.  She then proceeded to do her first 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in India, which gave her a renewed sense of what it means to practice yoga.  Upon returning to her home studio in the bay area, she began teaching right away, and has since continued her education with a 200 hour Ashtanga Vinyasa Training and most recently her 300 Hour Training, both with All Yoga Thailand.  Upon moving to Los Angeles five years ago, Lesley started diving into the world of contortion training and is now a performing artist in addition to teaching at Sweat Yoga WeHo and Equinox.  The depth of knowledge that she has gained over the years about how to train the body to be both strong and flexible has come from her own experiences physically and mentally through these different forms of movement and a disciplined daily practice.

This 90 minute all levels workshop focuses on the art and skill of backbends, with an emphasis on safely learning how to train the spine to go a little bit deeper.  We will begin with a yoga style warm up that includes sun salutations, core, and hip openers/splits.  Next, we explore exercises, drills, and shapes that will build strength, stamina, and endurance that will help you deepen your backbend practice.  The human spine has an incredible range of motion, and we will explore it thoroughly in this workshop through mindful movement and training.
