For anyone who has ever looked at a Level 3 Vinyasa class on the studio schedule and felt a little surge of curiosity, quickly followed by a voice that says, “Oh, I’m not ready for that”?

Whether you are a dedicated Level 2 practitioner looking to bridge the gap, or an experienced Level 1 student curious about the mechanics of a more vigorous practice, this 90-minute workshop is designed specifically for you. 

Replace the intimidation factor with a sense of playful possibility.

Led by Shawna Emerick, a teacher with over 22 years of experience guiding bodies of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds, this workshop provides a safe, supportive, and structured environment to explore the next layer of your practice. 

Level 3 isn't about being perfect or performing circus tricks; it’s about a deeper refinement of alignment, a closer relationship with your breath, and a willingness to explore your edge in a positive light.

In this workshop, we will:

• Break Down the "Scary" Stuff: Demystify advanced transitions, arm balances, and inversions by breaking them down into accessible, step-by-step components. You’ll learn that every advanced pose is just a collection of foundational shapes you already know.

• Build Smart Strength & Flexibility: Discover the specific anatomical alignment and engagement strategies required to support your body through a more dynamic, fluid sequence.

• Assess Where You’re At: Use this time as a pressure-free laboratory to see what your body is capable of today, without judgment or expectations.

• Cultivate Mindful Courage: Learn how to use your breath and mindfulness tools to stay calm and centered when the practice challenges you.

Who is this for?

This workshop is for any practitioner who feels solid in their current flow but is curious about what’s next. If you want to expand your strength, deepen your flexibility, and find out what is truly possible when fear is removed from the equation, join us.

Come exactly as you are, leave with a renewed sense of confidence, and realize that the practice doesn’t need to feel so scary after all.
