Ganesh: The Remover of Obstacles. Bhujapidansana and mayurasana will serve as our asana obstacles in this session. We will use them as a way to understand how our perspective and attitude about these arm balances can get in the way of our play and experimentation. Finding our path back to an open mind and our natural curiosity is our class topic for this Shanti Gold session. Kapalabati will be our breath focus to help clear the Nadis, providing an easy breath in the midst of challenge.
Participate in this discussion by submitting your questions by midnight on August 13th to sagharbor@yogashanti.com with “Gold Question” in the subject line of the email.
The western chair has created physical, psychological and emotional blockages. Instead of squatting and sitting in cross-legged position, like for most of the history and evolution of the human body, we sit slouching in our good-intentioned, well-designed chairs. Separated from the ground with our legs dangling and our spines collapsing, the feelings of isolation and separation are inevitable. Working with Marichyasana 2 helps us to regain some of our innate connectivity. Join us for the investigation.
You will be led through an asana practice with a sequence leading you to the understanding of Marichyasana 2 (half squat, half lotus, forward bend and a bind). We will explore the energetics of Apana and Prana in both asana and pranayama. Viloma 2 (three part exhalation) will be taught as the perfect partner to this pose. Colleen and Rodney will discuss the weaving of opposites and answer questions.

Join us on January 1st at Yoga Shanti – in person or virtually – to ring in the New Year with a joyful, cleansing practice led by Colleen and Rodney. Together, we’ll embrace new beginnings, face challenges with presence, and rise up as a community. With postures, breath, and mindfulness, we’ll welcome the year with courage, unity, and a renewed sense of joy! Join us and sign up today. All students and levels welcome!
For our 2026 women’s retreat along the Caribbean coast of Tulum, Mexico, we return to the absolutely gorgeous Lula: Seaside Boutique Hotel! Our retreat group will take over the entire hotel, which has 18 rooms. Hotel Lula is a high-end boutique hotel right on the beach, and each of us will have a reserved beach bed for the week! The restaurant is rated as one of the best, and the yoga shala is exquisite. Spa treatments are also plentiful – here is a sampling.
The all-inclusive rates cover accommodation, yoga, and food (except for one night), as well as the 23% tax fee. All service charges and gratuities are also included in this price. The only exception is if you order a-la-carte food or drinks that are not on our meal plan, they will cost extra. Spa treatments, flights to Tulum, Mexico, and airport transfers are not included in the rate. Most of the rooms are suitable for 2 people, and there are some that can be shared among 3 women. We can’t wait to meet again on the beach in Tulum this coming winter!
