September 13 ~ Kundalini Yoga and The Power of the Breath with Daniel Orlansky
Stoke the fire of the energy body through movement, asana, and breathing exercises. Drawing from Kundalini Yoga as well as classical pranayama sequences, these practices bathe your cells and brain with fresh oxygen and open the energetic circuits of the body.

December 12-13 ~ Meridian Yoga: Opening the Energy Pathways with Daniel Orlansky
This intensive artfully weaves ancient wisdom with modern technique to activate and balance the body’s meridian pathways. Working with a partner, we use gentle pressure, body weight, and skillful touch to open the energy channels and deepen our yoga practice. Through asanas associated with the fourteen meridians of Chinese medicine, we refine alignment and expand range of motion — supported by resistance/PNF stretching, shiatsu, and Thai Yoga Massage. Along the way, we explore the key acupressure release points of each meridian and learn how to dissolve deep-seated tension at its source. As we release the tensions held within the body, we discover something profound: a natural alignment of body, mind, and soul.
