Master Class for Teachers

Hatha with Annie Carpenter

As teachers, we often put incredible effort into creating smart, fun sequences for our students, then find ourselves practicing just enough to get through the day. This program offers teachers both a challenge and a solution: to give yourself ample time to reset, re-inspire, and restore. Each advanced, hour-long practice has a unique energetic intention, yet they’re all designed to hone your skills and fill your well.

Neck Relief Hatha

Annie Carpenter • Hatha

When your neck is tender, turn to this gentle practice that allows you to rest, let go of tension, and feel better. You’ll explore simple, mindful movements that lead to release rather than stretching or strengthening. The slow, supportive sequence includes Uttanasana (Standing Forward Fold), Cat/Cow, somatic twists, Bridge, and Viparita Karani (Legs Up The Wall). This class previously aired on December 12, 2024.

Breath & Bandha Energy Lock

Annie Carpenter • Breathwork

Discover the power of bandhas, using root and chin locks to expand your breathwork practice. This class guides you to learn these two bandhas without overdoing it, exploring mild muscular engagement to awaken your energy and awareness. You’ll also consider the subtle energy body and Sushumna, the central energy channel that runs up the spine. This class previously aired on December 5, 2024.

Return To Center Breathwork

Annie Carpenter • Breathwork

Breath by breath, this class guides you to a calm and centered state.
