Valentines acroyoga with clyde

Join us for Acro Yoga with Clyde Saturday, February 11th, 1p.
Acro Yoga combines the awareness of yoga with the movement and dynamics of acrobatics into a practice that is collaborative, energetic, and fun. It is a great way to build strength, agility, flexibility, and balance while experiencing the freedom to play, explore, and be silly. No experience is needed! No partner is required, bring a friend or make some new ones!

This workshop is appropriate for all levels, including those who are completely new to Acro Yoga. Here you will learn several fundamental Acro Yoga poses, and ways to link them together in flows. Advanced variations will be offered for more experienced students. In addition, you'll also learn techniques and tips for training to strengthen your practice.

New students will walk away with a solid base of skills from which to grow their Acro practice. Experienced students will get opportunities to refine their existing skills and some advanced variations to play with. All who come will have plenty of fun in this playful practice!

naada yoga - the yoga of sound

Please join us for a healing afternoon of Naada Yoga with Fred Cantor, Saturday, January 28th, 2023 from 4-5p.
What is Naada Yoga?
Naada Yoga is one of the oldest yoga practices that uses sound and vibration to bring about the union of mind, body, and soul which is the goal of all forms of yoga. Since it doesn't require asanas (physical postures), naada yoga can be practiced by just about anyone seeking the benefits of yoga. All you need is the ability to sit comfortably and breathe. Using your own voice, you will be drawn into the depths of the ocean of awareness and soar to the highest realms of being. A $10 donation is suggested.

What is Restorative Yoga?

Restorative Yoga, also known as the “Rest and Digest”, practice originated from the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar. It brings deep relaxation and balance to both the mind and body. 

The comfort and needs of the individual are met with the use of props to  support the body in relaxation poses. Along with the props’ support,  Restorative Yoga also uses gravity to assist with relaxation and release  of tension. Minimal light to darkness, silence, warmth, and natural or  calming breathing are used to reduce excess stimuli and keep the muscles and mind tranquil. 

This is a self-care practice that counters the chronic stress and fast-paced lifestyle of the modern day.

The  supported poses and calming breathing provide deep restfulness that nourishes the organ systems of the body and activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System (digestion). This balances our body’s “fight or flight” stress response that comes from the Sympathetic Nervous System. 

Restorative  Yoga gives time and space for ourselves, allowing us to just be, giving the body a chance to heal itself and the mind a time to settle through  relaxation.

Common benefits:

  • Relieve effects of chronic stress
  • Reduction of blood pressure
  • Improves sleep
  • Improves digestion
  • Reduces muscle tension and general fatigue

We can't wait to share this healing practice with you!

What are gong baths?

Gong baths are a type of inactive meditation, where you “bathe” in the healing vibrations of sound.

What are gong baths?

Gong baths are a type of inactive meditation, where you “bathe” in the healing vibrations of sound.

Using  sound as a form of healing dates back to ancient cultures. Records of  using gongs have surfaced from as early as ancient Egyptian, Greek, and  Roman times. 

“Gongs have been used as shamanic healing tools,  celebratory instruments, and a method of communication for thousands of  years. Evidence suggests that gong making was known as early as 4,000  B.C. and ancient alchemy sources put the gong as far back as 16,000  B.C.,” says sound healing practitioner Britta Hochkeppel. 

Benefits of Gong Sound Bath:

  • Reduced stress
  • Relief from anxiety
  • Better sleep (this is one of the most cited benefits!)
  • Released emotional blockages
  • Better mood
  • Improved focus
  • Mental clarity
  • Creative insights
  • Profound physical restoration
  • Experience of deep peace

Additional benefits are plentiful. At the physiological level, heart rate and respiration rate slow down and come into balance during a sound bath as the parasympathetic nervous system is activated, and some studies have even shown that nitric oxide (which regulates physiological processes related to good health) in the blood increases.

yin yoga master class

yin yoga master class with joe barnett

There  is something for all levels of participants in this master class. This  master class is open to students, non-teachers, and teachers. You do not  have to be a student of Yoga University to attend this master class.


Yin  Yoga is a very simple practice. We settle into an asana for 3-7 minutes  and slowly relax our muscles to allow the deeper drier tissues–the  connective tissues that wrap our muscles and make up our joint  capsules–to be safely and therapeutically stretched, stimulated, and  strengthened.


The  alignment rules of the postures are also simple, but more importantly,  they are functional and organic: We listen to our bodies and lead  ourselves into the shape that follows the natural contours of our spine,  pelvis, and hips. However, bringing ourselves into this simplicity can  be quite challenging. The practice of being still and quiet for minutes  at a time can be trying enough, let alone while dropping into a powerful  stretch that moves across wide sheets of fascia and drops deep into the  ligaments of the joints. And listening to our bodies to find the  natural alignment of the pose requires a power of discrimination and an  understanding and familiarity with the ever-changing sensations in the  body.

Yin YOga training is back!

Yin YOga Variations: An intro to leading a practice of surrender february 3-5, 2023

Formerly known as Yin Yoga Foundation Training, Yin Yoga Variations: An Intro to Leading a Practice of Surrender Featuring the Twisting Tree Archetype with Senior Paul Grilley Trainer, Joe Barnett. This is one of our most popular trainings!

There is something for all levels of participants in this immersion. This training is open to students, non-teachers, and teachers. You do NOT  have to be a student of Yoga University to attend this training. 


YIN VARIATIONS TT: An Intro to Leading a Practice of Surrender Featuring The Twisting Tree Archetype

  • 5 Archetypal Yin Yoga Postures, their Target Areas, and their Variations
  • Interactive, hands-on study of anatomy: Finding skeletal landmarks and testing range of motion (ROM).
  • Understanding and discriminating sensation: Tension vs Compression, Muscle vs Fascia, Physical vs Subtle Energy
  • 7 Essential Cues for guiding a Yin posture and exploring its variations
  • 3 Stages of Time for skillful pacing of individual poses as well as whole sequences
  • Introduction to the “Functional Approach” and the “Yin Yoga Sutras” of Paul Grilley
  • “Narrations” practice: Role playing and dialogue practice between teacher and student: How to listen, how to lead
  • 5 Foundational Sequences and discussion of their functions and variations, and the basics for building more


Yin Yoga is a simple practice of quiet and surrender,
a  practice of settling into a posture for 3-7 minutes, relaxing the  body’s resistance, allowing the deeper and stiffer tissues, the fascia  that wrap muscles and form joint capsules, to be safely and therapeutically stretched, hydrated, and strengthen. At the same time,  the techniques naturally offer a deep rest for the body, and a refuge  for the mind and heart.
Yin Yoga is a functional practice.
Guiding  students toward this simplicity and surrender can be challenging. It  requires a general understanding and appreciation of the infinite  complexity of human variation. Physically, mentally and emotionally,  every Yogi is unique and requires a unique approach. Realizing this, the  founder of Yin Yoga, Paul Grilley, along with his senior students and  assistants developed a system of Archetypes and Variations and various  dialogue practices to help teachers help their students toward greater  self-knowledge.
This Yin Variations 25-Hour TT will guide the student-teachers through the 3-Phase cycle of a Yin Yoga practice:

#1: Explore and Communicate. Through some schematics, charts, and lots  of movement and chanting, we will explore and communicate with the body and guide it into a shape, a posture that follows the its unique landscape of twists, turns, tensions, and compressions. We will learn how and where to “listen/ observe” and how best to respond to the evolving needs of the body and mind.
#2: Be still and surrender. We  will study what it means to “go deep” into the body with Yin Yoga, as  well as what it means to “go deep” into the mind and emotions, and  spirit with Yin Yoga. We will compare and contrast these aspects of Yin  Yoga with seated Chakra meditation techniques, as well as Yoga Nidra  Practices.
#3: Rebound. Passively and steadily observe the flow of  energy (i.e. chi, prana, “life force”) released on the exit of a Yin  pose. We will discuss life-force channels of different traditions. We  will turn to Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras for a look into the deepest of  endeavors of all our yoga practices, to truly know ourselves.
The Yin teacher’s two voices: group leader and one-on-one consultant.

Through a hands-on, interactive study of anatomy and movement, the Yin teacher appreciates the endless variety of humankind. Through personal  explorations of the Yin Yoga Postures as well as dialogue techniques,  “Narrations,” with fellow students, she gains a set of practical tools  to successfully lead a class, or an individual through a one-on-one.
Posture Analyses: Anatomy and Function.
All  Yin Foundations courses include a brief analysis of each of the 5 Yin  Yoga Archetypes. In each of the Yin Foundations courses, a deeper study  of one of the five. In this course, we will spend extra time on the Swan  Archetype and its target areas, the glutes, and the lateral thigh.

Your trainer Joe barnett

Joe Barnett is an ERYT-500 Yoga Teacher Trainer, based in Tucson, AZ.
Joe  was the original assistant and is still one of the few primary  assistants to Paul Grilley, the founder of Yin Yoga and innovator of a  highly popular functional approach to anatomy and yoga asana. Joe has  also recently copy-edited Grilley’s recent works on meditation,  philosophy, and energy work. Joe has been teaching Yin and Yang forms of  Yoga for 2 decades, and continues traveling nationally and internationally throughout each year offering presentations and  trainings based on his long-time mentor’s work. Staying true to the  curriculum of Paul Grilley, Joe provides a deep study (both experiential  and anatomical) of skeletal variation, the fascia system, and yoga asana.
Joe also leads a study into the more subtle mind/body  practices. Through a framework of the revered texts Patanjali Yoga  Sutras and Bhagavad Gita, and the tantric practices of Pranayama and  Chakra meditation as inspired by Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama, Joe guides  pranayama techniques that combine breath and imagery to soothe the mind,  calm the nervous system and nurture Spirit.
Currently, he is in  training to be an end-of-life doula, volunteers at his local hospice,  and strives to find ways to integrate the education and normalization of  death and dying with the philosophies and techniques of yoga.
However,  Joe’s playtime is usually spent playing poorly at chess, learning  Sanskrit, loving his goats and cats and family, practicing acroyoga, and  studying anatomy, including a regular dissection course focused on the  fascia layers, and one focused on the brain.

Quote - "Joe Barnett  has been our friend and assistant for many years. He has two qualities  that make him an excellent presenter: he knows the anatomical principles  and he relates to people in a sympathetic manner. His presentations are  unhurried, hands-on demonstrations, this is the easiest way to absorb  these ideas.” ~ Paul and Suzee Grilley
