$40.00 Props and Your Practice: An Eye-Opening Learning Experience


Let’s talk about yoga props! First, we give thanks to B.K.S. Iyengar for his genius innovation when it comes to adapting the practice of yoga to fit the body. Yoga props such as blocks, bolsters, belts, blankets, chairs and the wall are extremely useful in helping to create sthira (steadiness) and sukha (comfort) in your yoga practice or with your students. In this workshop, you will learn how to use yoga props to help yourself or your students unlock the full potential of a yoga pose. By no means is prop use limited to beginners, props can help accommodate anatomical differences, tight muscles/joints and limited ranges of motion. If you have ever wondered how to efficiently use props, this is a fun and educational workshop to help make the practice of yoga safe and accessible to all bodies.



Heather Hagaman

Heather Hagaman has a Masters in Psychology from Marymount University and is a board certified Yoga Therapist.  Heather also holds a Certification in Trauma Sensitive Yoga from David Emerson and Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk (Kripalu).

Heather is a pioneer in the new field of Yoga and Trauma Recovery and believes that recovering from trauma requires healing of the mind, the body and the breath. 

By creating a non-judgmental and confidential environment, Heather holds sacred space to help her clients connect and feel safe in their own bodies. This space encourages clients to experience inner connections and a way back to wholeness. Clients are given enormous control in their sessions and are encouraged to approach their practice with curiosity and mindfulness. This approach assists her clients in developing body awareness through intereoception (the sense of the physiological condition of the body) to cultivate the feeling of being grounded and embodied. Grounding invites you to sense your body, notice your tension patterns, and surrender the weight of your physical body into gravity to feel the support of the earth. As a resource for trauma recovery, grounding can help you reclaim a sense of safety, feel rooted in the present moment, and strengthen your resilience.
