Jewel Yoga is proud to offer a very special opportunity to study in person with Rebecca Lerner, a well-loved, dynamic teacher who unfailingly brings new and illuminative ways of practicing the asanas. Through work in asana and pranayama, students will be guided through the interplay that exists between these three essential yogic principles: practice, reflection and devotion.

This is a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in a fun and challenging weekend of yoga with a very warm and insightful teacher. Under Rebecca’s expert guidance, students gain inspiration and confidence to take their practice to a new level. Practical yoga philosophy will be shared within each class.

By exploring the common threads and intricacies of the poses, as well as their stillness and depth, we find ourselves touching the heart of Iyengar Yoga. We invite you to explore the yogic path of transformation and experience the richness this great lineage of yoga has to offer.

Rebecca Lerner is co-director/owner of the Center for Well-Being in Lemont, Pennsylvania and an Level 4/ Adv Jr. I Certified Iyengar Yoga Instructor. She is a devoted practitioner since the ’70s, as well as an IYNAUS Assessor.. Rebecca currently teaches on-line weekly classes. Her expertise is the ability to guide her students deeply into the poses in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way. She has a gentle yet commanding and dynamic teaching style that brings students to a heightened yogic experience.

Opening the Heartspace: Backbends with Nicolo Fonte

Recorded February 22, March 01
$75

“Backbends naturally lead to the real aspects of life and the higher aspects of yoga”. BKS Iyengar, Astadala Yogamala

Backbends keep the body both vigorous and supple and make the mind alert, spirited and light. They also uplift us creating joy, grace and vitality in body, mind and spirit.

Join Nicky in this 2 class series where we will work progressively from supported backbends towards unsupported backbends. Poses that open the shoulders, chest and frontal hips create the necessary foundation for a deeper understanding of how all backbends are accessed. As we approach the more intense backbends (such as Urdhva Dhanurasana and Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana), we will look at how to maintain a balanced “zeal” with equanimity and poise while fostering positivity throughout. There will be ample time for “cooling down”.

Open to those who love backbends – and to those who might fear them, learn to effectively overcome those obstacles! The ability to perform the final (classic) asanas is not required as modifications will be shown. Come and open the doorway to your spiritual heart! For students practicing at Level 2 and up.

Upon purchase, recording access can be found by logging into your account and viewing ‘workshop recordings.’

Core Strength and Back Health: The Doors to a Pain Free Life
Roberto Astorga

Recorded September 21, 2024
$35

We know that core strengthening is one of the most important ways to keep the back healthy, to live a life free of pain and discomfort.

But most people think of strength work for the abdominals only. The core is composed of a series of muscles, not just the abdominals.

Following the principles of the Hip Flexor’s workshop, Roberto Astorga will share with you the keys to strengthening the core in a holistic and integral way to protect your spine.
