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.
