The Yogic Path (4-part series)
Tuesdays, Oct. 1 - 22
I turned to yoga 14 years ago to help me recover from knee surgery. I didn't know at the time that yoga would transform me and my life.
​
In the U.S., yoga is often thought of as a form of exercise, but there's much more to it than the asanas (physical postures). The eight limbs of yoga cover everything from how you relate to others to finding bliss.
If those parts of yoga are not as familiar to you, join me for this four-part series on Tuesdays October 1 - 22 from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time to explore the eight limbs of yoga as described by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras.
​
Each week, we'll explore two of the eight steps on the yogic path through discussion and practice. Learn how each step is relevant to you, and how you can apply the principles to find more joy in your daily life.
​
October 1 - Yamas and Niyamas
October 8 - Asana and Pranayama
October 15 - Pratyahara and Dharana
October 22 - Dhyana and Samadhi
​
All sessions will be held via Zoom so that you can join from wherever you are. If you can't attend all sessions live, recordings will be provided to those who register.

Self-Care in Stressful Times Workshop
Wednesday, November 6
In the modern-day environment, we experience constant uncertainty, changing expectations, long periods of sitting, fast food meals that we grab on the go, long periods of time on the computer, isolation, and unclear boundaries between work and home with hybrid work.
​
These conditions have been shown to be harmful to our mental and physical well-being. Self-care is a necessity, not a luxury. Become more present and in tune with your mind and body, so you can thrive!
​
Effective tools and resources can help you identify your most prevalent stressors, incorporate simple mindfulness techniques into your everyday life, and find new ways to cope with stress to create more positivity and holistic well-being.
​
In this 75-minute workshop offered via Zoom on Wednesday, November 6 at 5:30 p.m. Mountain Time, you will be able to:
​
-
Define and explain the stress response and stress process
-
Identify your top stressors and create an action plan to cope and set healthy boundaries
-
Practice effective self-care techniques
Register for only $25 here.
Plan Your First Retreat
Workshop for Yoga Teachers
December 6 & 13
Leading a retreat can be a deeply rewarding experience, but may be overwhelming to plan. Firefly can help!
Hosting a retreat is a great way for you as a yoga teacher to develop a loyal following, and provide your current and future students an opportunity for a transformational experience and to get to know you as a person.
​
If you're ready to lead your first yoga retreat, but aren't sure where to start, this workshop is for you. Over two days, we'll cover everything you need to think about and plan for when creating a transformational retreat for your clients.
Classes are on Fridays December 6 and 13 from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Mountain Time. This workshop is offered via Zoom so that you can join from where you are.
During this interactive online workshop, you'll have focused time to work on details related to organizing your retreat. You'll gain clarity on whether leading a retreat is right for you and who your target market is; learn considerations for selecting a location and venue; how to budget and set a price for your retreat; and tips for effectively marketing your retreat.
​​
Sign up to join us if you're serious about making a difference in the lives of your students, want to travel the world sharing your unique gifts, want to offer a more in-depth experience for students and build a deeper connection, and are ready to take your business to the next level!
