Yoga on the Ropes Workshop with Tristan Binns

Date: November 3rd
Location: Iyengar Yoga Source

We are accepting a limited number of online participants, please fill out this form if you would like to attend on livestream.

Experience Yoga Like Never Before

Tristan loves yoga, and yoga on the wall ropes in particular, because there is no other way to feel the traction, balance, and depth of experience in asana quite like it. Tristan teaches with humor and kindness, usually focusing on an action to follow through a series of poses. Tuning into small actions and details is a great way to bring the lens of mindfulness and awareness into focus, and to quiet the ever-present inner voice. After a practice, she wants you to feel like the renovated version of yourself - longer, lighter, easier, and calmer.

Why Use Ropes?

  • Overcome Physical Limitations: Reach past areas that hold you up, such as stiffness or injury.

  • Conquer Fear: Gain confidence with challenging poses, like inversions.

  • Revitalize Your Practice: Inject fun and liveliness into your practice.
