Enjoy four days of Ashtanga with authorized level 2 ashtanga teacher and author, David Keil.
The Long Practice
Friday, March 27 | 6:30-8:30pm
The Long Practice: Depth, Change, and Ownership in Yoga is a reflective, discussion-based workshop for practitioners who are no longer interested in preserving a fixed version of practice, but in sustaining one over time. As bodies age, circumstances shift, and capacity ebbs and flows, this workshop explores what actually endures beneath the changing shapes of practice. Rather than focusing on technique or modification, it examines the subtle elements such as attention, breath, internal feedback, and agency that allow practice to remain meaningful without becoming rigid or dogmatic. The emphasis is on reclaiming ownership of practice, honoring tradition without being constrained by it, and cultivating a relationship to yoga that can adapt, evolve, and remain alive over decades.
Handstand as a Skill, Not a Stunt
Saturday, March 28, 2026 | 1:00-2:30PM
This short, focused workshop approaches handstand as a skill that depends on foundation, control, and restraint rather than repetition and force. Many practitioners overdo handstands and end up irritating their shoulders, not because they lack strength, but because the shoulder girdle is not organized to support load efficiently. We will look closely at the role of the shoulder girdle, with particular attention to serratus anterior, as the primary foundation of a stable handstand. From there, we will explore how trunk and pelvic organization influence balance and load as the body moves upside down, and why common stacking cues often fail in real practice. The workshop connects these ideas back to Ashtanga transitions and arm balances, showing where this work is already being developed, while offering practical strategies for practicing handstands with fewer repetitions, better awareness, and significantly lower risk to the shoulders.
3 Days of Mysore
Saturday, March 28 - Monday, March 30 | 6:30-9:30AM
Students deserve individualized attention in their practice. In the Mysore class, David share techniques and tools that are specifically relevant to you and what’s going on in your practice. In his way of seeing the practice, this is where true teaching and learning happens. When guidance specific to you is aligned with your needs, growth and change naturally follow.
Yoga is very much about relationship: the relationship you have with the practice and the relationship you have with the teacher who is guiding you. Relationship requires time and space to engage. This is why, in the Mysore class, we limit the number of students in the room at one time to a maximum of 12. This is also why we require that you, the student, commit to signing up for 3 days of practice. With his commitment to small numbers and your commitment to daily practice, there is an opportunity for a transformative and in-depth relationship.
