Prepare, maximize, and wind down in meaningful and research-backed ways. In this workshop, we spend time preparing our joints and connective tissues, as well as priming our lymphatic system. HIIT routines have been shown to increase cardiac fitness and blood health. Yin Yoga helps release tight connective tissues and has been shown to decrease stress.

After age 30, we begin to lose as much as 5% muscle mass per decade. We also lose bone density, elasticity and lymphatic flow. A thoughtful, well-designed routine can slow these processes down, and may reverse some. Richard has designed an exercise template that feels safe and effective for him, and has grounded this routine with six studies on exercise and aging.

Yin Yoga is the art of insightful relaxation, personal acceptance and contemplative awareness. The practice consists of long, relaxed holds with an emphasis on releasing our hips, pelvis and lower spine, encouraging us to focus deeper within.

Using slides, readings and discussion, Richard blends Daoist texts, anatomy, physiology, and poetry into thoughtful sequences. You'll gain insight into your own anatomy, and how individual variations make all of our practices unique. We also review meditation techniques, allowing our "mental dust" to settle and see things clearly.

Yoga is often marketed as “more, hotter, faster”, but students are getting wise to this unattainable acceleration. Yin Yoga’s philosophy of stillness and independence counters this frenzied rush. Join Richard for a transformative weekend with this quiet yet powerful practice.

You'll receive a manual for continued reference. 12 hours of Yoga Alliance CEC available.
