108 Sun Salutations @ Dig Yoga
Join me to celebrate the Summer Solstice with 108 Classical Sun Salutations!
As we enter into the summer months, the solstice is an excellent time to set refreshed intentions for the seasons to come.
We’ll start by gathering in a circle and set intentions for the practice. We’ll build a strong flow that will help us connect deeply with our body, mind, and spirit. As we move together absorbed in our breath, you’ll feel the support of the group energy carrying you forward with meditative momentum.
This powerful experience will leave you feeling rejuvenated, strong, focused, and ready to embrace the seasons to come. We’ll have a short break half way through and end with a long Savasana.
Yoga experience recommended; modifications will be given. Please note, that you’re not required to do all 108 salutations to participate.

The Art & Presence of Teaching Yoga @ DIG Yoga
Have you ever left a yoga class feeling like that was the best class ever but didn’t really know why? Was it the sequence, music, teacher, or the space? All of the above!
How we show up for our students sets the tone for the entire class. How we hold ourselves, set the room up, and communicate determines the feeling of the class we teach and the impact it has on our students. Even with a simple sequence, we can teach a memorable class by setting the tone with our presence and speech. In this workshop, you’ll learn tools to do just that.
Whether you’re an aspiring teacher or have been teaching for years this workshop will help you fine-tune your teaching skills. This workshop will be part lecture, part interactive, and part practice.
Topics we’ll cover:
- Finding your unique voice and building confidence
- Creating a safe and welcoming container for your students
- How to use music to enhance your class
- The importance of words, what you say and don’t say, and how you say it
- The difference between empowering and disempowering language
- How to pinpoint your filler words
- Creating a theme for a class
