Workshops

Every pose in our asana practice has the potential to take us toward equilibrium. When we develop an awareness and strength of our center, we are able to find a balance between expansion and strength throughout our lives. Core awareness and strength cultivate stability. Stability in your asana practice is essential in that it fosters a proper root system. A solid root system cultivates an upward expansion and access to our subtle body-the seat of our souls. Come join Suzanne to gain awareness of your center and strengthen your core.

About Clara Roberts-Oss

Hailing from one of the bigger meccas of yoga, NYC. I took my first vinyasa class in 2000 at Jivamukti Yoga Center. I practiced yoga for a couple of years and decided I should teach; thinking I could share this love of movement with others. I received my certification at Sonic Yoga NYC with Lauren Hanna and Jonathan Fields in 2003. My unique sense of sequencing is influenced by my beloved teachers Shiva Rea, Lauren Hanna, Stacey Brass-Dana Flynn (Laughing Lotus), David Life and Uma Saraswati (Jivamukti) and from my background in dance.

This course is eligible for 20 CEUs with Yoga Alliance (30 hours of Continuing Education Units are required annually to maintain your status as a RYS, Registered Yoga Teacher).

Celebrate UN International Peace Day in union with thousands of fellow yogis from around the globe. Inspired by Shiva Rea, the Global Mala project will create a 'mala around the earth' through collective yoga practices all based on the sacred cycle of 108.

This class is by donation. All proceeds go to support War Child, a non profit organization, that helps raise awareness and support of war affected children globally.
