WORKSHOP IDEAS

Tommy offers a variety of workshops that are specifically designed to help students learn more and deepen their personal practice. 

INSPIRE: Vinyasa Flow - Flow through creative, unique, and intuitive posture sequences that challenge the mind and body. Upbeat music to keep the energy flowing and the mind engaged. Experience moments of strength, growth, flexibility, balance. Be inspired to breathe, move, sweat, and smile.

SOUNDBATH - Flow through creative, unique, and intuitive posture For one full hour, let go of all distractions in your life and immerse yourself in the healing vibrations of various instruments, from crystal singing bowls to Tibetan bowls and gongs. Imagine sinking into a “bath” of soothing sounds that take you on an inner journey of relaxation and transformation. A sound bath is an intuitive meditative concert that supports states of deep relaxation were stress release and healing can occur. It is a gentle yet powerful theraputic-based experience that has profound effects on the mind, body and spirit. Leave feeling renewed and restored with a deep sense of well-being, calmness and inner peace.
HOW DOES IT WORK? Sound is vibration, and vibration can affect every aspect of our being. Sound is not only “heard” through the ears, but through every cell in our bodies. Entering the healing equation from many different directions, sound can have a great effect on the organs, tissues and cells, as well as the circulatory, immune, endocrine and metabolic systems. It reaches the body at all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR A SOUND BATH: Wear comfortable clothing. Plan to lay down to best enjoy the sound bath experience. Bring a yoga mat or comfortable floor covering to provide a cushioned surface. Bring pillows, bolsters, blankets - whatever you need to comfortably lay down for an hour.

TOMMY MACK is a certified sound therapy practitioner.

PRANAYAMA + MEDITATION- Each session will guide you through specific pranayama techniques and breath work practices aimed at opening your breathing system and working energetically on a deeper level to achieve the maximin benefits. Practice and learn techniques to energize and awaken, techniques to balance and focus, balance the endocrine system, as well as calming techniques that stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. Practice developing awareness of the subtle energy and feel how these breathing practices can help deepen your meditation.

VINYASA HIIT: Come for the Workout. Stay for the Yoga - Vinyasa HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is a more athletic, aggressive approach to yoga that integrates Ashtanga-based yoga postures with special emphasis on core athletic high interval training to challenge athletes and yoga practitioners alike. Tommy was one of the pioneers of this type of yoga.  Boost the INTENSITY! Flow through posture variations integrated with high intensity interval circuits uniquely blended for an optimal boost in mind/body integration, metabolism lift, cardio effect, and a fresh perspective to your practice.

ELEVATE: Arm-balances + Vinyasa Flow - Learn and practice arm balances to take your Asana practice to new heights. Learn fluid transitions into and out of the postures. Work on variations and progressions to build strength. A chance to integrate fun postures into vinyasa flow and learn ways to strengthen your body and prep your mind to amp up your practice. Deepen your practice, explore your potential, and develop a greater awareness of your strength.

RESTORE: Vinyasa + Yin - Bring balance to your practice. Strong yang style flow sequencing to generate heat, energize the mind, and add some intensity to your practice. Followed by deep yin style postures to create a deep stretch in the muscles and stimulate a healing effect to the connective tissues and joints, with much of the focus around low back and hips.

VIBE: Flow to the Beat - Vinyasa flow enhanced by live music. An awesome vibe that keeps you flowing to cool beats performed in studio. 

DEEP: Yin Yoga - Go deep into mind and body with long holding yin postures, breath, and focus. Generates great mental, physical, emotional balance. Benefits include deep flexibility of the muscles, nourishing of connective tissue for healthy joints, clarity and calm. Live music can be possibly added per request and availability of musicians.
