Core Breathwork lecture for the Interactive Wellness Series at Pilgrim's Way Bookstore in Carmel
This class combines simple yet powerful exercises with an informational lecture that will transform the way you understand your body.
Core Breathwork will help you experience increased mental clarity, improved posture, less physical stress and fatigue, deeper sleep patterns and greater overall wellbeing. It’s time for healing – inside out – starting with mastering the power of your own breath.
Take the Gyrotonic Homework Series to a whole new level.
In this two hour workshop, Domini takes you through some of her favorite props based assists, providing clarification and support for the exercises that make up this challenging series.
Props needed: medium strength theraband, 10 lb weight, yoga block, yoga mat, stool
2 hour foot clinic addressing structural issues such as Bunions, Plantar Fasciitis, Morton's Neuroma, etc...
We tend to think of foot pain as something originating in the foot, that can be addressed structurally at the foot in order to solve the problem. But it’s usually not about that. Toe spreaders or orthotics can certainly help alleviate the pain caused by structural misalignments, but they’re not going to solve the problem. This extended class includes anatomical lectures and extensive foot exercises designed to repattern proprioception and possibly musculo skeletal alignment of the foot and lower leg.
This Anatomical Blog is recommended to read/practice before taking the workshop in order to thoroughly grasp the material.
Complete props list:
Long medium strength theraband
A short piece of theraband ( about 8 -10 inches) that you can cut up ( and scissors) or some thick rubber bands, like the kind that come around broccoli or asparagus
One yoga strap
Two yoga blocks
A yoga mat
A pair of socks
Two stools or chairs of the same height
A 10 lb weight or something heavy ( Between 5-10 lbs) that you feel comfortable lifting
Both the Zoom recording and High Res recording are included. They are the same exact class. Zoom is lower video quality, better audio quality and requires less bandwidth to play.
The high res version has clearer video, but more ambient sound.
Map your abdomen through breath and gentle movement. Learn simple techniques to release the diaphragm, improve digestion and support healthy metabolism. Access your abdominal musculature from the inside out - first by addressing their role in structurally supporting the digestive, reproductive and eliminatory systems, then by integrating this awareness in to dynamic core movement.
This all levels workshop is filled with tools to improve breath capacity, especially Exhalatory Reserve Volume, as well as innovative ways to access the abdominal wall, providing instruction to both teachers and students on how to utilize respiration and awareness to build core strength and increase vitality.
Jedi Spine Tricks is a 2.5 hour workshop on self-cueing techniques for every joint in the body. Harnessing proprioception, musculoskeletal awareness and breath, you will build yourself a toolkit that serves you and your students as we all work towards fully embodied movement expression.
Learn simple exercises you can teach that improve co-ordination and control - improving movement patterns and building confidence as you work towards full movement expression, effectively distributed through all the joints in any movement chain.
Props list:
1 long foam roller ( optional but helpful)
1 yoga strap
1 long, medium strength resistance band
1-2 yoga blocks ( a mixture of cork and foam is best)
1 8-10 lb weight
2 3-5 lb hand weights

An extension of the Jedi Spine Tricks workshop, this 2 hour class will give you the tools to:
• Help yourself/your students with lower back issues
• Address Diastasis Recti and other topics related to post partum muscular recovery
• Access and control your deep abdominals
You’ll learn simple exercises that help you engage your abdominals for postural control, that you can do all the time, everywhere.
No special equipment required.
Included in this purchase is an additional 20 minute video focused on engaging the Transverse Abdominis with the help of a stability ball, that not only tones your abdomen but also releases tension throughout the torso through targeted deep breathing techniques
Both the Zoom recording and a higher res. version are offered here. The content is exactly the same, but the Zoom version is much lower resolution, so is helpful if you are on weaker wifi.
This 2.5 hour Workshop combines multiple techniques to connect the muscle chains of the body in order to ultimately reach inside deep the pelvis and lumbar spine, decompressing the areas that are crucial to access if we are going to move through this world with a sense of poise and strength.
Whether you are suffering from back or hip pain from being too sedentary, or you are looking for tools to apply to the most complicated and dramatic of postures/exercises, this workshop will help you find a mobile, supple length that translates to all types of movement.
There is no faster way to amazing abdominals and happy digestion than the Metamorphosis Breathing series, only its intensity can be overwhelming.
In this 2.5 hour workshop, we break these breathing patterns down, exploring their effects on the body both anatomically and energetically. Special attention will be paid to activating dormant areas of the body, as once you are able to breathe in to an area, you are finally able to use it.
