Expand Your Practice

We welcome all colors of yoga to The Bhaktishop, and here we celebrate both our own teachers’ gifts as well as those of visiting teachers. Bringing you masterful teachers from many disciplines, we aim to unite all seekers everywhere with the truths they seek, one workshop at a time. Please register for workshops early, as they will often sell out. Please do join us, stretching outside your regular yoga practice to invite in new energies and possibilities to the soul of your yoga.

The Fiery Furnace with Lisa Mae and Monicka

June 4th to July 2nd, Tu/Th Mornings from 6:15-8am, $150

Join Lisa Mae and Monicka as we dive deeply into some of the preparatory shapes that make Level 3 practice accessible. This means that we will be getting deeply detail-oriented for this immersion, deconstructing some of the the transitions and biomechanics of the later Level 2 and early Level 3 work, so that our understanding is clear and our blueprinting skills are sharpened as teachers. For you all that teach more mixed level classes, this immersion will help you share more readily with those mixed level groups. Register in advance, and if you don’t know if this immersion is for you, please email weloveyou@thebhaktishop.com. YS500 Asana Module.

Nourishing the body and mind: A non-diet approach to food, weight and health

Friday, June 7th from 7-9pm

Join Dana Sturtevant, MS, RD and Hilary Kinavey, MS, LPC from Be Nourished as they discuss how an enjoyable relationship with food happens naturally when the focus is more on nurturing the body and mind and less on dieting.  Join us for a discussion about how we change, why we diet and offer recommendations for a satisfying relationship with food, body and self.

About Be Nourished: Encouraging a non-diet approach to food, weight and health, Be Nourished offers workshops, classes and retreats to tackle sensitive topics like conscious eating, body acceptance and hunger awareness as well as counseling, yoga, and massage therapy to holistically complement the supportive atmosphere we believe is needed to realize long-term body acceptance, an ability to eat intuitively and the power to, psychologically and physically be nourished.

The Summer Solstice 108 Practice with Lisa Mae

Thursday, June 20th from 12 noon until 2pm
Class cards and drop-in welcome

You know how this one goes—2 hours of major, unapologetic sun worship in the company of your fellow lovers of the light. Solar-powered sadhana made into offering after offering on the mat, to celebrate the season! No, you don't have to do them all, and this will be spiced with some backbends and inversions to keep the body healthy. Please register online for this joy-filled practice.

Workshop/Class Cancellation Policy

We regret that we need to have one of these kinds of policies, but alas, it has become necessary. So here goes.

If you are registered for any workshop or special class and paid in full, we will happily issue you a refund of your payment in the following situations. Check it out:

  • If you cancel 2 days or more before the event, we will happily give you a 100% refund.
  • If you cancel less than 2 days from the date of the workshop, we will happily give you a 100% refund if we are able to fill your spot.
  • If you cancel or don't show up on the day of the workshop, we are sad to say that we cannot offer you a refund for your payment.

As you know, many of our classes fill up and even sometimes get a waiting list, so the likelihood that we will fill the space is pretty high. But that might mean that we have to wait until after the workshop or class happens to find out if we can fill the space and get you a refund!
