PRACTICE AND ALL IS COMING
PRACTICE AND ALL IS COMING
Yoga Deep Dive
6 week course
2 locations in California:
Yoga Shala Sacramento - starting September 6, 2025
Santosha Yoga Collective - starting September 30, 2025
You will learn techniques to deepen your understanding of an embodied practice, mindfulness and meditation, and ways to cultivate and control your own energy.
We will explore the philosophy behind Ashtanga Yoga (rooted in the tradition of Hatha Yoga) and applied anatomy - the use of modern anatomy as it applies to movement and alignment in postural yoga.
This course will be supported by your own inquiry and discussion, direct experience through guided practice and hands-on assists.
By the end of the course you will have built a stronger and more disciplined self-practice that you can take with you anywhere and adapt to any other style of yoga. (Asana or otherwise)

Arm Balancing Workshop
Sunday Oct 12
12-2:30pm
The Yoga Shala Sacramento, CA
Want to know the red thread between chaturanga and handstand? Curious about how to jump back and forward in surya namaskar A and B? Yearning to explore different and challenging postures like astavakrasana (8 angle), tittibhasana (firefly), bhujapidasana (arm pressing), eka pada koundinyasana II (hurdler), kakasana, bakasana and parsva bakasana (crane, crow and side crow)? Learning arm balancing postures is more than a challenge that might look cool, it is about understanding the breath, body mechanics and the use of vital life force energy on another level

Seeds of Strength & Refuge
Meditation Workshop
Saturday Nov 1
12-3:00pm
Yoga Shala Sacramento
Sacramento, CA
This two hour meditation workshop explores two very different practices from Japanese Zen and Tibetan Buddhism. Understand the power of the Zen practice, the Path to the Inner Center, and learn how one can train the mind through disciplined focus while deepening one's awareness of breath, mind and body.
Then, open and stretch the body in a short thirty minute asana practice. Finish the workshop with the creative and inspiring practice of the Tibetan Compassion Method meditation. Leave the workshop feeling empowered, calm, and inspired to continue your own journey of mindfulness and loving compassion.
All levels: welcome

Yoga teacher Jeff Frieders and musician & DJ Charlie Mandelid join forces to share their passions for yoga and music. Together they curate a 120 minute flow accompanied by an ambient DJ-set specifically designed for the flow.
The Practice:
Asana, pranayama, meditation and live mixed ambient cuts will deepen your experience and expand your mind beyond the regular weekly sadhana. Expect to be challenged and inspired, leave relaxed and tranquil. Enjoy dynamic balance postures, inversions, vinyasa, deep backbends, ethereal states of musical bliss, and the benefit of 2 hours of practice - body, breath and consciousness.
The Music:
Inspired by the Japanese minimalist genre of kankyō ongaku, or environment music—soft electronic melodies infused with the sounds of nature. The set will evolve from kankyō ongaku through a seamless flow of left-field electronica with elements from jazz, dub, minimal techno and hypnotic ambient.
We welcome you to join our flow. Donation based. Suggested donation: 222 - 444,-

Chandra Krama
Moon Sequence
Chandra Krama - Moon Sequence
A restorative heart and hip opening, yin-inspired, vinyasa flow class.
This 90 minute led class is designed to balance the fire-y yang aspects of a strong vinyasa and/or ashtanga practice.
Great for practitioners of any style of yoga. Recommended for anyone who has some experience with yoga - this sequence is long and deep, but oh so juicy and sweet
(not recommended for new beginners).
This event includes live Indian Bansuri Flute ragas by the talented Patrick Vedlog.
ABOUT MY WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS.
I'm thrilled to offer a diverse range of engaging and enriching experiences that inspire personal growth, well-being, and connection. Each workshop and event is thoughtfully designed to guide you on a journey of self-discovery, expansion, and empowerment.
My workshops are carefully crafted to address various aspects of holistic well-being, incorporating elements of yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and sometimes sound healing. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, there's something for everyone to explore and learn.
In my events you can expect transformative yet practical practices, tools to make positive changes in your life. We also focus on mind-body connection and self-reflection in a safe, non-judgmental environment that encourages vulnerability, growth and embodiment.
