A mellow ‘melt-into-your-mat’ YIN YOGA exploration
Welcome to the ‘ZEN ZONE’. A delicious, all-levels, 3-hour, Yin yoga exploration for yogis who crave LESS DRAMA and MORE ZEN. A workshop for the yogi who is looking to de-stress, let go and unburden themselves from the ‘stuff’ that isn’t working in their lives. On this MIND CHILL journey we will cultivate a deeper sense of compassion & calmness by nourishing our connective tissue, promoting & restoring the flow of chi (energy), calming the nervous system…ultimately, GROW YOUNGER.

The workshop will be broken down into two parts:

Part 1 (90 minutes)

Thought provoking conversation (Kula, Understanding Yin in a Yang world), whimsical revelation (Yin poses deconstructed) and of course breathe discovery & guided meditation.

Part 2 (90 minutes)

A ‘Zenification’ Yin yoga class where we explore long held, static poses, and strive to cultivate deepened inhales and exhales as we invite full relaxation into our yoga experience. This passive practice is a beautiful compliment to your more yang style active practices. Supported by mellow & tranquil soundtrack, this is the perfect opportunity to give you mind, body and soul some much needed CHILL.


Whatever your walk of life – whether you be a self-proclaimed couch potato, athlete, desk-jockey, seasoned yogi, starving student, gym junkie, or video game addict, YOGA IS FOR YOU. Never losing sight of the rich traditions of yoga’s origins, Cam & Wes draw from a wealth of different inspirations; from martial arts to breakdancing, from qi gong to donkey kong, from kirtan to rock’n roll, from meditation to wild celebration, you will always be surprised by what these Yoga rogues are going to cook up with each adventure on the mat!

This workshop is open to all levels of practice: whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or brand new to the wonderful world of yoga, get your yogi toes out to MIND CHILL for a taste of the liberating bliss that comes from getting Zen’d out!
