This program is designed for yoga students and teachers who are ready to refine their practice and dive deeper into accessing intermediate and advanced yoga postures and practices. Senior yoga teacher, Donna Read will guide us through six invigorating and intensive weekends, as well as five 2-hour practices on ZOOM to keep us in the flow.

The Program:

Polishing the Basics (September 25 - 27, 2026)

This weekend will offer lots of active practice as we refine our basic asana, including standing postures, inversions, back bends, twists, and forward bends. We will have the chance to remember our beginner’s mind and work as a group to prepare for intermediate practice.

Intermediate Practice (October 23 - 25 + November 20 - 22, 2026)

Building on the basics, these two weekends invite us to move deeper into yoga asana. We will have fun practicing inversions with confidence, work more skillfully in standing poses, and carefully build our back bend practice. We will work together to better understand twists, forward bends, and restorative postures. Donna will demonstrate ways to access intermediate yoga postures with props for a safe and evolving practice.

ZOOM Practice (December 10, January 7, January 28, February 18, and March 11)

Students who are registered for the full program will have the opportunity to practice with Donna over Zoom during the winter period. These active classes will reinforce what we’ve learned in Intermediate Practice, and prepare us for entering Advanced Practice in April. Practicing together is a great way to keep the flow going during the winter.

Advanced Practice (April 2 - 4 + April 30 - May 2)

Donna returns in person to focus on advanced yoga postures and practices with us. We will look at sequencing practices toward certain advanced postures, and breaking down the elements of complex poses like twists in inversions, deeper backbends, lotus variations, and more. These weekends will be interactive and informative as we learn to access advanced yoga asana with confidence.

Vinyasa: Sequencing and intelligent flow (June 4 - 6)

This weekend is a great opportunity to apply our knowledge of intermediate and advanced postures and practice. Donna will lead us through intentional sequencing for different purposes like fatigue and stability, and playful sequencing that builds to challenging peak postures. We will see vinyasa in a new way by incorporating postures frequently overlooked in vinyasa practice. Come ready to move and remember the fun and joy of yoga practice!.
